Mike Flynn, Scottish SPCA chief superintendent, said: “We are very concerned for the welfare of the animals taken by people posing as the Scottish SPCA. Anyone who has experienced this to get directly in touch with us. We will then notify Police Scotland.”
The Scottish SPCA has so far had reports of incidents in Renfrewshire and Perthshire areas but is asking everyone to be vigilant.
The bogus inspectors are using a white van with Scottish SPCA stickers on it.
