Residents warned about fraudster
Douglas residents are being urged to be on the lookout for a bogus housing officer.

The Douglas Housing Office says all visits to tenants' addresses will be by prior appointment only, with the last appointment of a day usually no later than 4.30pm.
It adds all staff will have official identification.
If you're suspicious of a someone calling at your address or addresses in your area, ring the council's housing office on 696435 or the police via 631212.
