Scottish Power need to do better at safeguarding customers

Somebody called at the door purporting to be from Scottish Power to read my electricity meter. I queried why he was calling, as I have not been visited by a meter reading during the many years I have been with Scottish Power. He said that he read meters every every two or three months, but was unable to explain why he had turned up out of the blue in my case. He waved a piece of plastic on a lanyard, but it was the kind of thing that could be reproduced by anybody with no difficulty, if they were so minded. I obviously have no objection to legitimate and authorised personnel reading the meter, and as it is outside my property I let him take a reading. I then telephoned Scottish Power to check whether they had somebody. They were unable to say and had no record. It appears that, despite the advice on Scottish Power's website to contact the Company if you have concerns, Scottish Power has no means of verifying whether someone calling to read the meter is legitimate. They rely completely on the the piece of plastic supplied to their subcontractors. There are apparently additional safeguards for so called 'vulnerable groups" (though little effort is made to make these known) and, in reality, there could be many people who could be at risk of imposters and who would not qualify as vulnerable. Scottish Power need to rethink their approach to the personal safety of their customers.
