Bogus caller alert

NMO has been alerted to a bogus caller claiming to represent a call centre employed by NMO and pursuing businesses over their "illegal" use of metric units.

Please be assured that NMO does not employ call centres and is not contacting businesses over alleged usage of metric units.  Enforcement of weights and measures is carried out by local Trading Standards Departments who, likewise, are not running a call centre for this purpose.

If you are contacted by a caller claiming to represent NMO on this issue, please report this to us using the link below.
