Householders in East Kilbride are being urged to be extra vigilant following reports of cold callers operating in the town.
South Lanarkshire Consumer and Trading Standards issued a warning online about bogus workmen brazenly going door-to-door in East Kilbride offering gardening and landscaping services.
Offering valuable advice to householders, the consumer advice service said that agreeing to work with cold callers can be risky as you may not be able to contact them if something goes wrong.
