Hampshire Trading Standards Warn Residents To Be Alert To Scams During Coronavirus Pandemic Hampshire County Council’s Trading Standards team is warning residents to be extra vigilant as the coronavirus pandemic could increase the risk of everyone, particularly vulnerable people, falling victims to scams and rogue traders.

Unfortunately, we are hearing about new scams that Hampshire residents could potentially fall victim to at this time, particularly on their own doorstep. We are determined to do everything we can to protect them from this, particularly the most vulnerable in our communities. Please familiarise yourself with advice from Hampshire Trading Standards Service team. Share the information with friends, family members and neighbours as forewarned can often mean you are forearmed.” Known coronavirus related scams include: People claiming to o er door-to-door or online testing kits. Residents are warned not to open the door or place an online order. Elderly residents who are self-isolating being targeted for help with shopping. Only use trusted sources such as friends and families. Emails claiming to be from the Government o ering a tax rebate to support people through this challenging time. Online advice available. Retailers overcharging for staple items such as toilet rolls. “If you are aware, or become suspicious of, these scams taking place in your neighbourhood, please let Hampshire Trading Standards officers know.” For further advice or to report an issue to Hampshire County Council Trading Standards Service please phone our partners at the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 0808 2231133. If assistance is required outside of these hours, phone Hampshire Police on their non-urgent number 101 or dial 999 if you feel threatened or intimidated.

Hampshire’s Domestic Abuse Service is continuing to provide help to people experiencing domestic abuse via phone, email and online. e telephone helpline can be accessed on 03300 165 112 and will be sta ed from 11.30am to 2.30pm Monday to Friday. A face-to-face support option is not available during this time but access to refuge, for those with urgent needs, will still be available 24/7. Councillor Judith Grajewski, Hampshire County Council’s Executive Member for Public Health, said: “We understand that the recent measures announced to tackle coronavirus (COVID- 19), such as the order to stay at home, can cause anxiety for those who are experiencing or feel at risk of domestic abuse. During this period of social distancing and social isolation for those families affected by domestic abuse, the home is unlikely to be a safe place. Additional pressures caused by illness, financial worries and spending more time together without being able to leave the house are likely to make this situation more difficult. Domestic abuse is unacceptable in any situation, no matter what stresses you are under - Hampshire services will therefore continue to be available to provide support.” If you are in immediate danger, or know someone who is, call 999 and ask for the police, who are continuing to respond to emergency calls.
