OT cold callers

Cold caller rings the door bell. He doesn't present any identification. Him: ?I'm doing a survey? He produces a picture of two electric meters Him:?Do you have smart meter or the older type that has to be read by yourself or a meter reader? Me: ?an older meter? Him: ?We can fit a smart meter for free. All I need is your customer number from you electricity bill?. Me: ?go away ? bye?

What's the betting some poor soul in Southend-on-Sea is going to find that they have a new electricity supplier, without their knowledge?

I've had a few cold callers from an electricity company telling me that they are my new supplier, so could they have my name please for their records.

I told them to leg it.

Apparently this practice is illegal.

It is worth taking the details and reporting them to OFGEM. Otherwise they will continue to get away with it.
