One part of Merseyside has been issued with a warning over potential scammers.
Sefton Council has released a warning to those living in the borough over fraudsters offering free surveys to check for toxic mould in people's homes. The council believes since the high-profile coverage of two-year-old Awaab Ishak's death in 2020 as a result of mould in his home, there have been a number of reports sent to the council.
The reports include scammers cold-calling, phoning, texting and emailing homeowners and tenants, urging them to have a survey carried out. Now, two councillors have issued a reminder for people to be cautious.
