Half say firms aggresive or misleading
ALMOST half of Scots have been targeted by aggressive or misleading sales tactics, a new poll suggests.
The survey, conducted for Trading Standards Scotland (TSS), revealed 46% of participants had encountered banned practices used by rogue traders.
Around a third (33%) said they were misled into completing a sale but only one in five of those reported the incident to the authorities.
The ScotPulse survey of 1,063 people comes as TSS launches a nationwide Know Your Rights campaign to help Scots understand their protections and report scams and dishonest sellers.
