It is not a good policy to name an individual on a public thread, proceed with caution

There are constant scams going on of this type in which callers sell advertising in a variety of publications, wallcharts or booklets. Very often the callers misrepresent themselves - "Hi this is your local fire service- would you support us by etc"

I always ask these callers for their phone number and business name and report them to trading standards.
