Police have issued a warning after rogue traders targeted elderly and vulnerable people in North Herefordshire.
The two separate incidents happened in the Bromayrd area this week.
Police are now working with Trading Standards officers from Herefordshire Council to tackle the offenders.
People are being asked to keep an eye on the vulnerable and remind them not to open the door to anyone they don't recognise.
