Glenda Jackson would like to urge her constituents to be vigilent against a scam which is becoming increasingly prevalent where a doorstep vendor will sell Gas/electricity meter credit which is bogus.

Crimestoppers have launched a campaign to ensure that everyone knows that door step meter credit is fraudulent and credit must be purchased from official outlets such as the Post Office, Paypoint or Payzone.

For more information, or if you know anyone illegally selling electricity meter top-ups, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. To find out more about the campaign visit www.top-upsafe.com
