EDF cold callers
Yesterday two men called saying they were from EDF energy and said they were cheaper than British Gas. I am signed up with BG for 12 months on the best tariff for me.
They wanted to look at the back of my gas bill but did not say why. If I had gone to get the bill they could have been into my house. So I said no and shut the door.
Why would they want to see the back of my gas bill?

Put a 'No Cold Callers' sign up at your door and they can not knock. If they do, take their employer number and call the company they represent.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

So that they can get your meter serial number & meter point reference number."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
