Recently a person was tempted by an offer from a carpet seller found in a daily newspaper and was scammed.
The police explain that the company had advertised in a Luxembourg daily newspaper for carpet cleaning at a favorable price. Following the announcement, the victim dropped off a rug with the company to have it cleaned, but never got it back. In addition, a Persian rug was sold to him at an exorbitant price.
In this context, the police warn against unreliable companies and false sales, especially to the elderly, for whom the financial loss can often be considerable. It is recommended to check the providers thoroughly and not to allow yourself to be pressured. It is also necessary to check the details of the contract and the prices before accepting it. The police add that it can also be companies registered in Luxembourg.
