Fraudulent cold calls

LABC have become aware of an increased number of fraudulent cold calls across the Construction Advertising & Marketing sector, that is affecting a multitude of well-known businesses offering advertising & lead generation services both online and in digital publications including Building Control communications with whom we worked with previously under their trading style LABC Publishing, which is not a part of LABC or District Surveyors Association.  Please note the following advice from Building Control Communications.
