Hi everyone!
Recently I've been getting a lot of missed calls from an unknown number and today I finally was available to answer it. Anyway, the guy said he was from Kent Police. My heart skipped a beat!
I was a bit busy at the time but from what I could understand, the police, in order to tackle anti social behaviour etc would work with me so I would be 'approved' by them in a sense. They said I'd be able to use the police logo on all my promotional material and would be able to provide websites for clients that highlight the fact that I am an approved community business.
He said I would keep this position/agreement with the police 'for life' and really it's just to reassure clients who may have otherwise thought twice about a mobile therapist for fear of inviting a stranger into their homes. e.g. it helps more vulnerable clients such as the elderly etc.
well, I thought it was a great idea, but I can't help but think 'mm what if this is a scam!' I'm very cautious about discussing things to do with myself or my business over the phone and would much rather have a written document or written correspondence. I was at the vets at the time so I asked if I could take a number to call back and the guy just gave me his personal mobile number :irked:
Just wondering if anyone else has been approached by this and if so what they did? I'd much rather go and sit down at my local police station and have a chat with someone face to face so I probably will end up doing that one morning this week!
Thanks for reading!
