RESIDENTS are being warned about 'intimidating' tradesmen going door to door to sell cleaning products and DVDs.

Trading Standards has issued the warning for the South Lakes area following a report from a concerned resident who said two men knocked on their door on Wednesday (07/10).

The information received states that the two cold callers used intimidating behaviour when the resident told them they were not interested in buying the items.

Trading Standards urges residents to always say no to cold callers.

Incidents can be reproted to Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 03454 04 05 06 or visit www.adviceguide.org.uk
