A suspected con artist has been attempting to sell coronavirus tests on doorsteps in Devizes.
Wiltshire Police is said to have launched an investigation into the incident and is urging anyone who may have fallen victim to the scam to contact them.
We received a report this morning of a female dressed in blue hospital scrubs knocking on doors offering PCR tests for £60 on behalf of a local surgery”, a police spokesperson said.
“We have checked with the surgery concerned who said that on no account would they send anyone out to a home address to do this and this is clearly a scam.
“If you do get a visit from someone offering these tests, please do not accept it, close the door and call 101 giving a description of the person and details of any vehicle if possible.
“If you have any covid related concerns please contact 111 for advice.”
