Rogue traders masquerading as 'Cedar Tree Care' Scam

The Blackfen and Lamorbey Safer Neighbourhoods Policing team are asking residents to take care when employing garden services, especially if the company has cold called.   

Checkatrade member - Cedar Tree Care recently sold one of their vehicles (similar to the one pictured),


however at least two unaffiliated males are now trading off the reputable company's name and scamming customers.  One local resident was scammed for £400.  

Please be cautious and reject any offers of work by cold callers.  If in doubt, please contact Cedar Tree Care directly  on tel: 01708983265 quoting the vehicle registration number.  If the vehicle does not belong to the genuine company, please report to the police immediately.
