North Wales Police issued a statement reminding elderly people who live alone, their carers and families, not to let anybody inside their homes unless a prior appointment had been made.
The statement read: "Genuine callers will always be happy to make an appointment to call and will carry an identity card with a photograph.
"They won't mind waiting if you want to phone and confirm their identity or want to rearrange the appointment."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Caernarfon CID on 0845 6071002 for the English language line, 0845 6071001 for the Welsh language, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
