Trading Standards and mock auctions

I received a warning from a constituent about a mock auction type event in the ward.
(See this news story for details of similar events elsewhere.)

A piece of consumer advice I have been given from trading standards in the past is "if it seems too good to be true it probably is." Don't let curiosity get the better of you!

If you have any doubts about sales events then please call Cambridgeshire Trading Standards (0845 045 5206) or Consumer Direct (08454 04 05 06) to report it.

I am disappointed that it seems the police were unable to take action about this sort of activity.
