NORTH West's energywatch is backing a new campaign, launched by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), which will expose the psychological ploys used by doorstep salesmen.
David Sidebottom, director of energywatch north west, said: "Energy salesmen have used all sorts of outrageous ploys to get people to buy energy on the doorstep.
"We hope that this campaign gives people the confidence they need to avoid being taken in by dodgy doorstep salesmen."
