Last Friday, Twitter user Andrew Reynolds posted a warning about the notorious Wet Bandits, saying, "These 2 men are going around local neighborhoods knocking on doors claiming to be from a plumbing and heating company and asking for entry to your home to check your taps for possible leaks! DO NOT let them in, they ARE NOT plumbers! PLEASE SHARE. THEY ARE DANGEROUS!"
