Police in Eastleigh have warned residents to "be mindful" of cold callers.
In a Facebook post by Eastleigh Police, people have been told to always check who is at the door before answering it.
The post read: "Whenever you get an unexpected knock on the door, please check to see who is on the other side of your door before opening it.
" Either look through a side window, look through a spy hole, or simply ask out loud who it is, and if you do not know them, establish who they are and what they are there for before you open the door.
"Please remember, if the cold caller sales or pitch are unsuccessful, they are unlikely to return in future."
