Glasgow Trading Standards are currently running checks on workmen (workpeople?) to make sure that they are legitimate and have the legal paperwork.

You can report suspected bogus callers anonymously on 0141 287 6681 or on the Police Scotland number of 101. The information they’re looking for initially is:

• Name of Company
• Address of Company
• Vehicle Description/Registration
• Type of Work
• Consumer Address

Trading Standards also have materials, window stickers and a limited supply of call blocking units that can be made available to consumers and those concerned about bogus callers. 0141 287 6681
