TWO teenage girls pretending they work for the Sunshine Coast Council have been letter-dropping a Buddina street for a bogus insurance company.

The council issued a warning yesterday urging residents to be aware of the possible scam involving the phoney council letter.

The unaddressed letter was hand-delivered in Malkana Crescent.

A resident, who witnessed the letter-drop, phoned the council with the details including the fictitious business name, Rudders Warranty Insurance.

"On behalf of the city council, I would like to ask you a few questions about your household," the letter read.

"Are all the entrances to your household secure if someone tries to break in?

"Do you have insurance if your house is by any chance robbed? Is your house under warranty if it is flooded? Are your children in a safe environment?

"If you go with Rudders Warranty Insurance (RWI) you will not have to worry about any of these common threats to your environment but you will be able to live your life in your current house hassle free.

"Please call one of number (sic) now and save up to $3000 every year in breakage costs (numbers provided)

"Hurry! Offer only available to the first 20 callers during the holidays. So call RWI now."

The council said it did not instruct insurance providers to quote for household insurances and had reported the business to SCAMwatch.

The Daily has tried contacting the numbers given on the letter, with no success.
