Hidden camera uncovers exploitation and pressure-selling at direct sales firm

Today we expose the disgraceful inner workings of a direct sales firm in Cardiff whose workers go door to door trying to persuade people to set up direct debits to established UK charities. Working undercover and wearing a hidden camera, we can reveal behaviour which has left one of those charities appalled, an MP shocked, a fundraising firm describing the footage as “unbelievable” and a regulator saying it is assessing our evidence. After months of research, our investigation can now reveal: Lies and pressure-selling on doorsteps to get people to sign up to direct debit payments to charities A pensioner having to insist four times that she doesn’t want to sign up before a sales rep stops persisting An attempt to sign up another elderly woman who is clearly confused and giving answers that do not correspond to the seller’s questions. New recruits being told to “trick” people in doorstep pitches for charity sign-ups Job adverts with empty promises of minimum salaries placed by a sales operation that falsely claims to have represented household-name firms New starters being advised to spend less time with their families An "appalled" charity will investigate every donation as a result of our footage.
