An alert goes out today after we received a couple of messages about suspicious door to door activity in Blantyre.
A woman has been going around Blantyre doors, today, Saturday 8th May 2021, offering doorstep covid tests. This activity is certainly worthy of putting up an alert, especially after similar incidents in Hamilton and Cambuslang in recent months where residents have been scammed into letting people into their homes. In each case, the homeowner has been elderly and thankfully were suspicious enough to close the door.
A reminder, covid tests are done either at official testing centres, or using home kits. No single person will come to your door to test for covid in Lanarkshire.
Such activity should be reported to police. Please ensure any vulnerable family members are made aware.
