TitleUtilita door to door sales bullshit in Partick - warning
Authorhamnataing
Body
In our flat in Partick today we had someone randomly buzz saying they were from 'the gas and electricity'. A very anxious-looking guy in a Utilita jacket appeared at the door with his mask pulled down.
He claimed that we needed to have our meter upgraded to a smart meter, everyone else in the area had already done it, it would save us money blah blah blah.

He said we had already received a letter about our meter being upgraded (we had not) and he was here to give us our 'free upgrade', which of course means switching our energy to Utilita (an energy firm which seem to have a terrible reputation btw.)

He whipped out an iPad and started trying to take our details down. He was so anxious and jittery that I felt something was off, this wasn't a legit gas engineer situation. At this point I just told him it wasn't a good time and he left a card. At least this Utilita guy didn't grope me [\(warning - Sun link\)](https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3615040/kent-energy-salesman-john-adams-sexually-assaulted-woman-jailed/)

Anyway, letting you know in case you get these sly cunts turning up at the door. Looks like it's been going on in [Edinburgh lately too.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/comments/jgk759/utilita_door_step_sales_men_warning/)
