A worried mum has claimed cold callers in Edinburgh 'faked an emergency' to gain entry to her family home in Restalrig.
The alleged incident took place on Thursday, March 30 at a property in Lochend, when two women wearing lanyards identified themselves as TalkTalk subcontractors and shouted 'there's an emergency' and 'help let us in'.
When the worried mum opened the door she was furious to learn there was no emergency as the cold callers began their pitch.
