Phone number ☎️ 01158882731 👆 is reported as a scam operation targeting energy customers in the UK. Callers falsely claim to represent well-known suppliers such as British Gas, EDF, Eon, Octopus Energy, and Scottish Power, often insisting on meter replacements or refunds. They use aggressive, rude, and persistent tactics, pressuring recipients to disclose personal and bank details. Some victims have received emails and calls that appear genuine but contain poor language or suspicious requests.

3 yearsA caller said they were from British Gas Business, but I’m not too sure about that. Seemed a bit dodgy to me. Just wanted to make folks aware.British Gas Business3 yearsI noticed the rates are a lot lower here. Really lovely person to deal with. Since I contacted them, my bill has definitely gone down. All my dues got sorted out too. You might wanna give them a ring. 011-5888-2731 My bills keep coming cheaper now.3 yearsGot a really pushy and rude call claiming to be from EDF, my energy supplier. The bloke had all my info, even my bank details for direct debit. To convince me, he sent an email from [email protected] with some code, which made it seem legit. I asked for a manager and they put me through, but the manager was just as aggressive and kept interrupting me. The background sounded like a busy call centre too. When I rang again later, it was more of the same. I made it clear I wasn’t willing to share any info, but they’re still calling me back nonstop.EDF3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from our Energy Provider. They claimed they needed to come out and swap the meter and tried to arrange an appointment, even gave me a meter “ID” or something. Then they started asking loads of questions about our company and eventually demanded our bank details! Definitely a SCAM.3 yearsI got a call on this number from someone pretending to be with EDF asking for a meter reading. Since we have a smart meter, I found it a bit suspicious. The caller got quite annoyed but still gave me this number to ring back. So I looked up 1471 and found a completely different number, 02392160307.EDF3 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from British Gas, saying our meter was broken and needed swapping. When we didn’t give them any personal info, they got really rude and even said they’d cut off our supply. The number they used was 0115 8882731. We got in touch with our actual electricity company, who said it was a scam and everything with our meter is fine. They also advised us to keep our account details private.British Gas3 yearsA man called me, really pushy and quite rude. He said he was from Eon but sounded impatient the whole time.Eon3 yearsThey keep calling me for weeks now, claiming they're with Eon. Saying my meter's wrong and they need to come replace it, and then they’ll give me a refund. After that, they start asking loads of personal info. I’m always wary of folks who ask stuff like that since they’ve already phoned me, they ought to know who they’re speaking to. I’ll say they’re pretty convincing though. Could have fallen for it if it wasn’t for the fact I’ve got two meters and they didn’t even seem to know about the other one.3 yearsI really believed I was speaking straight to Eon Next. They assured me I'd get my money back for the overpayments. They even set a specific day to install a smart meter. Plus, we agreed on a contract for the next year.Eon Next3 yearsBeen getting loads of calls from someone claiming to be Octopus Energy, always an Indian bloke on the line with loads of noise in the back. Later on, we got an email that looked real with the Octopus logo, saying our meter readings were off and included bits that seemed to be copied straight from the actual Octopus site. The wording was awful though - really obvious it’s fake - but the proper logos might fool some folks who aren’t paying close attention.Octopus EnergyOctopus3 yearsHad a really unpleasant woman on the phone who refused to tell me which company she was with. She just kept insisting that my meter had to be ready and kept saying there was some issue. Things got so heated she ended up yelling at me 😱 I couldn’t help but cheekily talk back a bit 😂3 yearsSCAM alert, Had a run-in with Scottish Power via their online chat, and then a couple days later got a call from this number regarding a supposed refund. They mentioned changing our meter and that there was a shortfall in readings, which the bloke on the phone (with an Indian accent) oddly seemed to know all about. Pretty sure it’s not legit, sounds like someone inside Scottish Power is leaking info to these scammers... stay sharp.FRAUD ALERTScottish Power3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from E, asking me to send photos of my meter and a recent bill, along with my bank details. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.3 yearsLooks like this might be some sort of scam to me.3 yearsAfter someone came round to our place, I got a phone call from someone saying they were from our energy supplier. They told me to ring back on this number to get a refund for overpaid bills and to sort out smart meters. I ended up ringing the real energy company and they said it wasn’t them making the call. Pretty obvious attempt to scam and get hold of my bank info.3 yearsheard that EDF are asking people to swap their smart meters nowEDF3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they had to get to my meter to replace it!3 yearsGot a call from someone who said they needed to get to the meter to swap it out!3 yearsGot a call from 02392160307 claiming they were with Scottish Power needing my meter reading. I told them I’d rather ring Scottish Power myself. The bloke got really annoyed and ended up calling me a daft woman before I just hung up. The accent sounded like an Indian call centre, but they gave a different number to ring back on, 01158882731.Power3 yearsThis number 02392160307 keeps ringing me again and again. I picked up the first call, and the person claimed to be from British Gas, wanting to confirm some info and get my meter reading. But when I said I wasn’t comfortable sharing anything since they called me first, I asked them for the meter number. They couldn't give it to me and just said they’d ring back. I ended the call, but since then they've been trying to get through loads. Super annoying!British GasSubmit Your Own Report (0115 888 2731)
