Beware, Niagra TherapIes

Posts: 11 Forumite
My father has mobility issues and vascular dementia, my mum has arthritis as well as heart problems and two investigations at the moment regarding lumps.
Today a lady called on my parents from Niagra Therapies, I called my parents who said they had company, I asked to speak with her. My parents seemed to think she was a DOCTOR or NURSE!!!!!!!!
She would not tell me how she got my parents details but did confirm it was not from the hospital or their doctor. She started talking to me about what she does and I told her I hold power of attorney and to leave the house.
She left and sat in her car screaming down her mobile at someone, my mum was now too scared to go to the shops so asked me what to do.
I called the police who moved this lady on after making her promise never to. Return.
This lady never got to sell my parents a bed costing over nine thousand pounds.
£9000 + for a bed is disgusting, this company should be avoided at all costs, she didn't have a chance to hit my parents with a sales pitch but tried it on me over the telephone for their behalf.
The police who I spoke to and apologised to on the phone agreed that showing no I.D. And not knowing where they got their details from is too fishy and calling them was the right thing to do.
Does this not remind you of those companies selling hoovers.
Moral of the story, if you have a spare £9,000 and want a bed that wobbles you to sleep, go ahead, but I'm sure there are items that go under the mattress for less than £100 that do the same thing.
Niagra Therapies, you should be ashamed of yourself.:(
