Croydon Trading Standards have received a report that mobile phones are being offered for sale in the car parks of supermarket stores.
A vulnerable elderly person was recently approached in a Sainsburys car park in Croydon and offered a mobile phone. The person was persuaded to withdraw cash from a nearby cash machine to pay for the phone. The phone was unusable. It is highly likely that the phone was stolen.
Trading Standards wish to remind Croydon residents not to engage with people offering phones or any other goods in the street.
If you are approached by somebody trying to sell fake or stolen goods, please contact the Police on 101.
