A new report from the Journal of Trading Standards warns that Criminals are posing as COVID marshals and medical professionals to gain access to people’s homes. The scam is similar to earlier incidents this year in which fraudsters would pretend to be healthcare workers offering fake COVID-19 testing kits.
Legitimate marshals – officially called COVID-19 secure marshals – do not have the power to enforce social distancing, issue fines, or the right to enter homes. So if you get an unexpected visitor, don’t let them in.
