POLICE are urging Trafford residents to be wary after reports of fraudsters operating a TV scam in the north of the borough.

Officers are aware of men trying to sell TVs at a discount price out of the back of their van in Old Trafford and Stretford.

A spokesperson for GMP’s Trafford North division said: "They will tell you that it's 'fell off the back of a lorry' etc and offer you an expensive looking TV for £100/£200 cash, only for you to take it home, unwrap the wrapping and find it damaged and useless.”

Anyone who witnesses suspicious behaviour in the area or has information about these men should contact police on 101.
