Bolesławiec District Police:

Dear seniors, we urge you not to make hasty decisions or give in to pressure when signing a contract. Be vigilant when company representatives who knock on your door offer services involving the installation or replacement of various devices. Before beginning any work, company employees must complete the formalities, which means signing a voluntary contract for a purchase or service.

Bolesławiec police officers warn against letting strangers into your home or signing contracts without understanding their contents, as this may result in taking out a loan on unfavorable terms. It is always worth consulting an “attractive” offer with family members.

What should you look out for?

Police officers:

  • Unexpected visits. If someone suddenly appears at your door with such an offer, be careful.
  • Pressure to sign a contract quickly, especially a loan agreement: Genuine advisers will not pester you.
  • Police officers warn against signing contracts without understanding their contents, as this may lead to taking out a loan on unfavorable terms.
  • Stay alert when you hear or see the words “promotion” and “quick installation” in a contract: If the installation is to be carried out immediately, it may be a sign that someone wants to bind you to a contract quickly!

They also add:

Remember:

  • Do not sign anything on the spot under the influence of emotions, haste or pressure. Ask them to leave the proposal for you to review and consider.
  • Always consult your family—your son, daughter, grandchildren or other trusted people.
