Gedling borough residents are being warned over scam calls being made offering inspections of housing insulation
Nottinghamshire County Council Trading Standards said they have received several reports of residents receiving the unsolicited telephone calls.
The callers are advising that certain types of insulation can cause condensation or damp and are offering to do free inspections at the resident’s property.
The calls have been made using a variety of telephone numbers with an 01202 area code.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire County Council Trading Standards said: “Our advice is not to answer any personal questions during cold calls and to not contract with anyone that cold calls you.
“Please let your service provider know if you are receiving unwanted telephone calls as they may be able to assist you in reducing them, or report to the Citizen’s Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133.”
