Scam alert – Don’t let them in

Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) are warning residents about a possible scam involving people claiming to be from our health and safety team and asking to visit or inspect homes.

These callers are not acting on behalf of EFDC. If someone contacts you unexpectedly, asks to enter your home, or requests personal or payment information. We want to reassure residents that legitimate visits arranged by EFDC will follow clear procedures:

  • Visits are arranged by appointment in advance
  • Staff and contractors will carry photo ID and will be happy to show it when they arrive
  • You can ask the caller to wait while you check the visit with us using official contact details
  • You will not be asked for payment at the door. If payment is required, it will be made through an approved payment route or arranged directly with the council

If you are unsure whether a visit or call is genuine:

  • Do not let the person into your home
  • Do not share personal information, bank details or make any payment
  • Check the visit with our Customer Contact Centre on 01992 564000 or with Qualis Management on 0333 230 0464
  • If you feel threatened or believe a crime is in progress, call the police on 999. For non-emergencies, call 101

Scammers also use emails or text messages that appear genuine. If a message makes you suspicious:

  • Stop – do not click links, open attachments, reply, or use any phone numbers or addresses in the message
  • Contact the organisation directly – use details from its official website or a trusted letter you already have
  • Report suspicious messages to Action Fraud – Call 0300 123 2040 or use the online fraud reporting tool

Please stay vigilant and take a moment to check before trusting anyone who contacts you unexpectedly. Genuine staff will understand if you want to verify who they are.
