Be on your guard!
That’s the message from the Office of Fair Trading which is warning Island residents to be on their guard following a number of unlicensed traders going door to door.
It's thought they will try to sell you goods like carpet and mattresses.
Any off-Island traders operating on the Isle of Man must have a non-resident traders licence issued by the Office before they can do so.
If you come across such a trader you're urged to contact the Office of Fair Trading immediately.
