Some random people show up at your door offering to fix things such as your garden, fence etc. These are likely to be scammers, so just turn them away and if you need such services, get them from trusted services.
Also, you may get an invoice out of the blue with your name on it, postal and email addresses which you know for a fact is fraudulent as you've never had any dealings with the company, let alone used the service that they claim on the invoice. You just throw that away and think no more about it. Wrong move: incredibly, they can use a lack of response to take you to court and win! Always refute it in writing, preferably by email as that's your proof that you've done it.
