An elderly woman whacked a pair of bogus callers with her stick when she suspected they were trying to trick their way into her home.
Two people approached the property on Fullbrook Road, in The Delves, Walsall, trying to sell gold, but having been targeted before the woman questioned the culprits.
She rebuffed them with her stick when one of the suspects put his foot in the doorway.
