How do you spot and stop bogus callers?

What to do if someone knocks at your door

Be cautious and suspicious even if they have an appointment.
Put the door chain on. If you don't have one, think about getting one.
If you have a spy-hole in your door look through it, and without opening the door, ask for the individual to identify themselves.
Ask for identification from any stranger wanting access to your premises.
Check the ID carefully, don't just glance at it. Do not hesitate to ask the person to show their ID again if you did not get a good look at it the first time.
You will be looking for the photo of the person on the ID and a name as well as the logo of the company they claim to work for. Check to see that the person holding the ID has the same face as the person on the photo.
Note down the name of the person and call us on the following number to confirm their identity: 0845 7823333. All Three Valleys Water employees and contractors carry ID cards and will be pleased to wait on the doorstep while their identity is confirmed over the telephone with the Customer Call Centre. Our employee may also call in at the same time to verify that they are actually there.
Lastly, check that the person is wearing branded clothing and also that the vehicle that they have arrived in bears the same logo.
If you spot a discrepancy and become suspicious, refuse to let the person enter and if they become loud or show any aggression call the police by dialing 999.
Be safe.
