COLD-CALLING conmen are targeting residents in Oxford pretending to be from the council.
Trading standards has contacted Thames Valley Police about the imposters posing to be from Oxford City Council.
The force said reports are that the conmen have been knocking on households in Blackbird Leys and asking people to pay their council tax arrears.
Oxford City Council has confirmed this is not any workers from the council and added that they do not do door-to-door recovery personally.
Police said anyone approached should not part with money and should call police 101
