SCAM ALERT!

⚠️ SCAM ALERT - GLASGOW AREA ⚠️

Be aware of fraudsters operating in and around the Glasgow area pretending to be council or housing association workers. Fraudsters are attempting to gain access to homes by claiming they need to:

  • Check for mould problems
  • Inspect gas/electric meters

Remember: Genuine Glen Oaks Housing Association staff will:

  • Always carry proper ID
  • Be happy for you to verify their identity


If someone shows up unannounced:

  • Don't let them in
  • Call our office directly to check
  • Report suspicious activity to Police Scotland

Keep yourself safe - when in doubt, keep them out!
