Water Testing Scam? Westminster Environmental Protection

[jay789]

Has anyone come across a company calling on small businesses called Westminster Environmental Protection?
A contact has been misled into signing an order for water testing by a uniformed caller with a pre-printed form. No invoice yet received but the website does not look credible.
Any information welcome. Thank you

My company was subjected to the exact same scam about three years ago & we were invoiced & subjected to a CCJ. My colleague in our warehouse allowed the uniformed man to "check the water" on site assuming he was a legitimate environmental officer. We were then issued with an invoice for a 'service' we had not asked for by a, quite obviously, fraudulent band of confidence tricksters. These people need to be reported & punished accordingly by the law.

Hi, I'd forgotten i'd posted this.
It is definitely a scam. It was reported to trading standards and they successfully prosecuted these people. Worth reporting it even now if it was the same people so you could get the CCJ cancelled? Good luck.
