Doorstep Calling

Residents are urgently warned about two men in their 30s/40s (one in a suit wearing glasses, one casually dressed) who have been doorstep cold calling on older residents in the Skelmersdale area and claiming to be from the council.
Trading Standards advice is:-
• Do not do business on the doorstep
• Keep doors and windows locked to prevent unauthorised entry
• Do not let strangers into the house without checking their credentials - put the chain on or close the door,
leaving cold callers outside whilst you do this.
