Reader Dinesh Sheth of Ilford sounded a timely warning here last week to beware of bogus callers who appear at your front door claiming to represent various utility companies with the aim of entering and raiding the premises, not to mention attacking you in the process.These tricksters are especially active in the days before Christmas but are liable to strike at any time. Moreover how can one be sure that the identity card they produce is genuine and not something they knocked up on a computer? “Trust nobody” is a good motto to remember when a stranger is knocking on your front door.
