A man has approached women to attempt to sell fake knives and kitchenware.

Surrey Police are warning people to not fall into the same trap, after two women were duped out of hundreds of pounds.

The man reportedly told the two women different stories about who he was and why he had the knives.

The first sale took place in a golf club car park in Weybridge on Thursday, January 15, in the afternoon.

He told the woman he was from Switzerland and his father ran a Swiss Cuisine company. He persuaded the woman to buy two sets of what she thought was St Moritz knives for €450.

When she got home, she realised the knives were not the real deal.

A second report of the scam was from a woman in Cobham on the afternoon of Friday, January 16. She was approached by a man who said he was from Holland, had been to a trade show in London and was delivering some items nearby.

He told her the order had been cancelled and asked if she would buy the goods.

She paid €575 for a saucepan set and some knives before later realising she had been scammed.

Report any similar incidents to Surrey Police on 101.
