Possible new scammers heading our way!

Just heard this from family south:

 

Man going by the name of Ian Willow or Ian Howard - sometimes accompanied by a woman.

 

Their ploy is going around pubs, befriending folk then arranging to fit/install a kitchen/bathroom for them.

 

They've taken 20K  from folk in Dundee area from either failing to fit agreed goods or fitting rubbish/cheap products etc. 

 

Police are aware of the couple "working" in Glasgow and Borders before this latest bit of work in an affluent area of Dundee - yes there is one!

 

Rumour is that they are now said to be heading north to the isles - they may or may not get here but thought it worthwhile spreading the word!

Any "travelling tradespersons" known to be knocking around up here eenoo? Encountered what might might possibly have been a "recce" car around here earlier tonight.
