Cumbria Trading Standards and Cumbria Police are advising
Cumbrian residents to be on their guard against cold callers offering to buy
scrap gold or silver jewellery items. If you want to sell items consider visiting
a local jeweller or valuer where you will be able to obtain prices and decide
in your own time whether that price is acceptable. Trading Standards’ advice is
never deal with cold callers.
If you have been approached by these sellers or have any information please contact Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 08454 040506 or Cumbria Police on 101
