The North West Ambulance Service has issued an urgent warning as people in Manchester have been 'posing as ambulance staff' and 'asking for donations' to pay wages during the strikes.
The trust has warned of scammers knocking on doors and asking for donations and clarified that those doing this are not employed by NWAS to encourage people not to give any of their money.
