8. Beware Of “Do-Gooders”

The Coronavirus pandemic has seen a surge in con-artists going door-to-door, trying to take advantage of people – particularly the elderly. They might be posing as volunteers, charity workers, people wanting to check your temperature or even police officers – they could even be claiming to be people who live nearby offering to do some shopping for you.

If you don’t recognise these people, don’t trust them. Even if they seem to be dressed in official clothing, if someone is trying to enter your home, using the Coronavirus pandemic as a reason, do NOT let them in. They may be trying to steal from you.
