'Gas leak' knock, trying to check if guy legit

Had an odd knock, engineer saying there was a report of a gas leak.

Dwelling on it, I saw no van and he disappeared quickly. Had odd phrasing.

I’m trying to find a number to call to check if he was legit.

100% not legit.

Knock and ask your neighbors if they have heard or reported anything.

He said there was a gas leak where? Outside? Your home? Your neighbour?

If he was legit he would have photo ID and a number you could call to verify. Check on any elderly neighbours who he might also have called on and let the non emergency police line know.

This might be a legitimate use of the police 101 number. They probably have bigger fish to fry but you never know, the police might already be aware. Why not ring them?

Thank you. I got through. He was fake and I’ve informed the police

He did show ID but it was dark and I held back too much to see it
