Bogus warning

Feb 19 2008 by Liam Murphy, Liverpool Daily Post

BUSINESSES in Cheshire are being conned out of hundreds of pounds by bogus health and safety officials, trading standards have warned.

Firms are being visited by the false inspectors who are telling them they need to have all portable electrical items tested by them at cost of about £200.Š

Trading Standards have advised the work does not have to be done by any particular company.
