The man told the elderly woman he had been sent out to undertake maintenance work on her home and was given access.
The incident happened around 5.45pm on Monday March 22 at Walter Hay Court in Rosyth and although nothing was stolen it was a "frightening experience" for the pensioner.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to get in touch and describe the male suspect as being white, around 40-years-old, 5ft 5ins tall and of slim build.
At the time of the incident he was wearing a light grey tracksuit and a grey coloured face mask.

"Officers have been conducting enquiries into the incident and we are now appealing to members of the public for information who may have information in connection.
"We are asking for motorists who were in the area around the time of the incident and have a dash-cam to check their footage as they may have captured something which could assist our enquiries."
