hensamenities Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 One heavily built thick grey haired man in dark glasses at my door, white and in his fifties, just now saying he was from traffic control at the council. Asked to see his card and he said it was in his car so I told him to go and get it. He and his wiry mate who hung back at the gate left and have not returned. Unsettling. Crystal Palace Road.

Nigello Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Bad experience but thanks for sharing. 👍 Please report to 101 and local Goose Green police. They have a Twitter account.

northernmonkey Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Sounds very suspicious. Can't imagine why 'traffic control' would be at your door! Well done for asking for details - if you have a neighbourhood watch group might be worth flagging on there too - also maybe police non emergency no?

KidKruger Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Did he say why he was knocking on your door ?! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/293766-dodgy-pair-from-the-council/#findComment-1536277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensamenities Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 No. I don?t open the door to anyone who doesn?t have believable ID. His mate hanging back at the gate and the ridiculous blag about traffic control was what unnerved me.

Nigello Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 If you inform the police they may be able to nab them somewhere along the line, and you'd be at least helping stop them from actually ripping someone off, which could have happened to you. Please do report it. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/293766-dodgy-pair-from-the-council/#findComment-1536298 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The description of the "traffic officer" seems to be like this gentleman.😱 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/293766-dodgy-pair-from-the-council/#findComment-1536436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
