"Council Employee" Scam

We have received the following from Barnet Trading Standards.

• A consumer received a knock at the door from two men and one woman claiming to be from Barnet Council.
  
  
• One was wearing a high-visibility jacket and flashed some kind of ID, the others wore suits and carried briefcases.
  
  
• They said something about insulation being a legal requirement and that they could organize for the work to be carried out for £100.

If you receive callers like this, call the police on 0300 123 1212.
