Single rate gas & electric?

I just had a guy at the door claiming that government legislation states I should only be paying a single rate for gas and electric, and that he was going around houses checking. Then he asked to see a bill.

He didn't say where he was from, and I've never heard about any such legislation, so is this genuine? Or is someone chancing it with me?

    Sounds like a con artist who is after a utility bill and other financial details.

    If it wasn't for the law being on his side, I'd punch him if he came knocking on my door.

    Some poor old dear who isn't quite with it is going to get conned tonight no doubt :confused:
