Trading standards officers are warning homeowners about a bogus kitchenware salesman who claims to be working for the "council".
The doorstep trader has been peddling knives and saucepans, which he claims are made by the brand Kaiserbach.
However, the items are not designer brands and the salesman is not working for any local authority.
The products are often of reasonable standard, but consumers have complained about their quality in relation to the price they have paid. They have also reported pushy sales tactics and misleading information.
Residents can lodge complaints with Trading Standards on 0845 051 0845.
