Illegal to approach residents for unsolicited work in IoM
The Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading and police worked together to stop some gardeners from the UK approaching Manx residents to offer unsolicited work.
The company was investigated for going door to door seeking business.
Cold calling is illegal in the Isle of Man, meaning those who approach locals without a prior appointment are breaking the law.
OFT Chairman Martyn Perkins MHK says there are a couple of exceptions:


No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
