I came home last week to find 2 men outside my house with clipboards. I had my 2 small dc with me, and they asked me which number flat I lived in. I was hesitant to tell them as tbh somehtign didn't seem quite right, but I told them and they said 'ah, you've not paid your phone bill if you don't pay us now we're going to cut you off tomorrow.'
Well, I pay by direct debit and I have read about a lot of scams recently so I told them to piss off as I knew they were scammers. Then, they said 'Actually love, we're contracters, we're replacing the telegraph pole opposite tomorrow so your phone line will be down for a few hours.' I then told them to show me ID, which they did, though they made fun of me for asking. I went inside quite shaken tbh, I am not in the best place right now and it doesn't take much to throw me.
The next day as I went outside to take dd to holiday club they joked loudly so I could hear that they'd better make sure they had their ID in case I asked for it again.
AIBU to complain? I would have done it straight away but I didn't like the thought of doing it while they were outside as I did find them threatening. I don't see why on earth they found it funny, and my road is mostly old people who would probably hand over the money to avoid any trouble
