Police Warning: Cold calls offering electrical devices
There have been a number of reported incidents in the UK of firms cold calling residents claiming they are calling on behalf of their energy company. They claim that they can sell them a device, for a one off payment of £99, which once installed will save them money on their utility bills.
Some of these devices have been tested and have failed electrical safety regulations. Should you receive one of these calls or have received one of these calls please inform Oxfordshire Trading Standards on 0845 051 0845 and remember to never give out any personal details, including bank details
