Energy top-up scam

Electricity users are being warned about a doorstep scam where victims are offered discounted credit for their top-up electricity meters.
It’s estimated that 85,000 households have been affected by this scam since the beginning of the summer. Victims have paid for discounted electricity top-ups, but later found the money did not reach their energy suppliers and had to pay for the electricity again.
