Utilita, cold calling scam artists

[A500leroy]

Just had a guy from this company round saying they can remove standing charge from meter by installing a new version. I honestly thought he was from the meter manufactor and they were updating them,.

At no point did he say they were an energy company and thankfully when the confirmation girl at head office asked me for a switch date I twigged there an energy supplier and told them to do one.

Beware.
