Hi all, My name is Jessica, I am a resident of East Dulwich and also a journalism student of City, University of London. I'm doing a little project on local issues going on in London and have just come across this scam on the forum. On a more personal note, my father and his young family are also Herne Hill residents and are in the process of doing the front of their house up making them very visible targets for a scam such as this (they have scaffolding up at the front of the house). I would like to warn my father about this scam and also potentially shed some light on this scam via the local newspaper as to warn others! I would appreciate any physical description about the people running this scam, at what time they knock on doors, what exactly they claim is wrong with the properties, how much money they ask for, who they say they are etc etc. Any information would be helpful! Feel free to private message me, we can talk further via email/phone. They sound like absolutely awful people. I really hope the police catches these guys. Stay say everyone!
