Police issue warning about bogus mattress seller targeting elderly residents

By Vic Smith Admin | May 27, 2021 |

  POLICE officers have issued a warning about a bogus caller claiming to be selling mattresses.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: “The man has been known to approach elderly residents asking if they want to buy a new mattress for £300. Some conmen will try to gain access to property and bedroom under the guise of checking the status of current mattress and removing covers.

We have had reports that it’s starting to happen again in North London and around Potters Bar area. We thought we had seen the back of this con –  it was rife a few years ago and then after a few arrests were made ,it seemed to go away. Be careful the scam is back!

Mr P. O'Sullivan - Whetstone

I have been a regular customer of Vic Smith Beds for about 20 years. Apart from the personal, personable and extremely helpful advice from a well known and trusted local trader, the quality of his products is exceptional and could not be bettered either in price or terrific range of choice. I could not recommend Vic Smith Beds more highly.
