If you are buying a dress, you might be well advised to take someone along with you, especially if you are carrying a large amount of cash ready to make a purchase.

You may remember in the UK news recently a man was mugged when going to look at a car. The muggers pretended to have a car for sale then attacked him on arrival. Thankfully this sort of problem is extremely rare, but our advice is always to exercise caution when visiting a stranger’s home.

As a golden rule, if something feels wrong, then make your apologies and go elsewhere.
