A warning has been issued after bogus callers targeted a resident in the Springburn area of the city.
Two workmen appeared at a resident’s door in Carbisdale Street and claimed to be from Scottish Water.
They needed to check the water pressure in her kitchen and bathroom.
No identification was offered but the men were permitted entry to the property.
The householder, who has a disability, observed the men turning taps on and off and when they left nothing was reported missing.
Following the incident, Scottish Water is reminding customers, including vulnerable and elderly people, they should check identity cards and call Scottish Water’s Customer Helpline on 0800 0778778 if they have concerns.
Joanna Peebles, Scottish Water’s regional communities team manager for the area, said: “Scottish Water works in local communities across Scotland every day of the year. Our own workers are highly visible and Unfortunately there are occasionally people who take advantage of the essential work we do by posing as employees.”
