Tour of UK?

Hi all,  this is mainly for Martin and his team, sorry.  Is Martin here in Northern Ireland doing a wee tour, with some of his team going round about a few days later speaking to people, to "lower costs " of broadband etc? 
Just seems a bit strange when 2 people turn up on your door step, say they work for money saving expert,  no paperwork, just a lanyard with id card, and mobile phone on them. 🤔🤔

Are you sure it wasn't money expert instead who are completely separate?

They said Martin Lewis money saving expert.  My daughter,  grown up,  heard them too.

Hello - just to confirm that MoneySavingExpert never engages in cold-calling - please see the note here:

It's likely it is "Money Extra" who are a different organisation and who seem to try and benefit from picking a name which confuses them with reputable organisations like MSE.

We had a visit in recent weeks in Sheffield. Two people going door to door talking about broadband cost. Trained to be evasive and to build an initial rapport before, I assume, trying to sell a "better deal" for commission. Looking for those who are too polite to usher them away, the easily persuaded or the vulnerable.

I asked what they wanted only for them to keep rambling on about broadband work in the area, what neighbours had shared and whether prices are rising. They even asked if I had my phone to hand so they could check something.
I had already said we don't entertain buying anything at the door and it took a polite, but more forceful repeat of what I had said  for them to shut up and leave.

I would love door to door sales banned.
