A woman in her 80s living in Kinross was conned out of cash by a bogus workman who claimed to be working for a local church.
The man, believed to be aged around 50, called on the woman at her address in Lomond Mews at around 10.45am last Friday (February 3) and managed to talk her into letting him in to use her bathroom.
He then claimed to be a gardener working for a nearby church and persuaded her to pay him to do some work in her garden but then took off without doing what he said he would.
