Hi Guys

Dont quite know how to put this but I am aware of people who are working within direct sales at Virgin Media (who visit customers in their own homes and have access to bank details etc) who have Criminal Records for fraud, theft and violence.

I do not want to report this to my manager but was looking to you for some advice on how the management at Virgin Media can be made aware of this?

Most companies who employ people who work in direct sales require all new recruits to undertake a criminal reference check before they are allowed to sell - Virgin dont! I am aware of only a few with criminal records who work in my team but this could be many more salespeople across the country.

I feel we have an obligation to look after customers and ensure that the salespeople visiting them are the type of people you and me would want in our houses.

Any advice? please help.
