Seemed very fitting during the Citizens Advice #scamaware month, that our sister company which hosts Edinburgh Trusted Trader is getting scammed 
Ever since signing up with 118information, we have been plagued with aggressive and rude sales calls from so called utility providers. They have claimed to be our utility provider, claimed that we need to sign some paperwork as we are a new business, etc etc...
The humorous thing is the address they are talking about is Edinburgh Trading Standards 
Common numbers that we seem to be getting calls from are: 0161 272 5551, 0161 273 2600 and 0161 274 4662.
It's water off a ducks back, but there is a serious side, and it's a reminder how intimidating these calls can be for the unwary or vulnerable.
If you start a new business, unfortunately you will get plagued with these calls, so remember to keep common sense batteries fully charged, never agree to anything from a cold call, and never be afraid to put the phone down.
Signing up to the Telephone Preference Service can also help reduce these calls.
