Doorstep scams take place when someone comes to your door and tries to scam you out of your money or tries to gain access to your home.
Doorstep scammers aren't always pushy and persuasive, they may seem polite or friendly. So if you're not expecting someone it's important to be vigilant when you answer the door, especially if you live on your own.
It can be very easy to fall victim to a scam, but you can be scam savvy if you know what to look out for.
