7k Scam thwarted
A Home Instead CAREGiver has thwarted a fraudster from getting a client to sign a contract for Home Improvements worth £7,000. Mary Ann spotted the clients door open on arrival which raised her suspicions. On entering, she found a young man in the home getting documents ready to be signed. Mary Ann asked ‘salesman’ why he was there and kept him busy whilst she called her manager and informed him of what was happening. Assad Bashir immediately called the clients son, John to find out if he had any knowledge of this and prompting him to visit his mum immediately. During this time, Mary Ann kept the salesman engaged until John arrived to challenge the salesman, resulting in the man leaving very quickly. During this time, Mary Ann remained in the home and supported her client to ensure she was not upset or anxious. John has now taken this issue to trading standards and the police, supported by Home Instead Senior Care. A few days later the Home Instead Office received a thank you note from John praising Mary Ann’s swift thinking, actions and calmness ensuring the emotional and financial safety of his mother during the whole event and Assad’s diligence in seeking clarity from the family. ‘’I just wanted to let you know that Assad’s and Mary Ann’s intervention and support last night avoided Mum signing a contract that could have committed her to £7000 of work she didn’t need on the house. The salesman got a nasty shock when I turned up and soon left.’’ - John
