Prison Rehabilitation Scheme

Hi All,

Just wondered if anyone else had had a young man offering to sell household goods on a Prison Rehabilitation Scheme?

I would like to help but he called at a bad time which I explained but he just swore at me.

I wonder if they are legitimate?

Thank you.

I reckon you and malcmac could well be neighbours.

Thanks - I will alert the police and notify my neighbours too.

When this happened to me, I spoke to my daughter who works for the probation service. She confirmed that there is no such scheme in existence.

It's a well known UK wide scam seen in many counties around England.

I've had no reply from my email to the PCSO for my email of yesterday yet.
