TIPS  FOR  HANDLING  SOMEONE AT  THE  DOOR

Someone comes to your door   What do you do? 

#1  Don’t open the door.

#2  Look out the window, or thru the peep-hole, to see who is there

       AND    Ask  “Who is it ?” if you don’t recognize the person.

People have many excuses to try to get you to open your door and let them into your house:

They may say that their car has broken down and they need to phone someone for help.

They may pretend to be a workman, saying that they need to check your electricity or water. 

They might even claim to be from the council and that they are carrying out a local survey.

Whatever reason the person gives, you need to be sure that they aren't just trying to get into your home to steal something.

Don’t open your door, or let anyone into your house that you don’t know.

Sometimes they work in pairs, with one doing the talking while the other is stealing.

They often target the elderly.
