4 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas but we don’t even have an account with them, so it’s obviously some kind of scam.British Gas7 monthsThey said they were from the energy company, mentioning something about my account. When I asked which company exactly, she claimed it was UCR and that she was some kind of facilitator. Total load of rubbish!UCR9 monthsThey keep claiming they're the company I already use, but it's total rubbish.11 monthsGot a call from UCR Energy today - never came across them before and honestly felt like a total scam. Rude to top it off.UCR EnergyRude2 yearsGot a call saying they were from British Gas, talking about changes to the Village Hall’s account. They rang my landline initially. I told them I hadn’t handled anything for the hall in over 2 years and suggested they check the hall’s website for the right contacts. After that, they tried me again on my mobile. Ended up blocking both numbers.British GasVillage Hall2 yearsHonestly, steer well clear of anyone ringing from 01162166471. They claim to be an energy supplier, but really, they’re more like a nightmare who won’t accept no for an answer. Their smooth talk and flashy pitches are nothing but hot air. Do yourself a favour and go with a respectable company that treats you right - you won’t regret it, I promise!3 yearsTotally a scam, and they were really rude and pushy.4 yearsKept ringing me up sayin they were from Opus Energy but I’m sure they aint! Keep pestering about renewing my electricity contract, but I didn’t trust them at all.Opus Energy4 yearsGot called over 10 times at work this morning, picked up each time and the caller just hung up. Total time waster.4 yearsTotal rip-off!!!Fraud5 yearsI’m not sure who they were, but they claimed to be from Scottish & Southern Energy. From what I’ve read here though, that’s obviously not true. They sounded more like an energy broker since they knew our contract was ending in November.Scottish & Southern Energy7 yearsThe lady I spoke with on the phone gave really great customer support.7 yearsI got a call from a really nice young woman who was super helpful and explained that my supplier had been charging me way too much for ages. She ended up saving me about £300 on my energy bill, which was a massive relief. Since we're just a small family business, I wouldn’t have spotted this without her call. Definitely would recommend giving them a go!7 yearsI got a voicemail from 01162166471 claiming to be from Scottish Power about my business electricity. The person’s introduction was really unclear and hard to understand. They then asked me to ring back and give a reference number. Thing is, I don’t have a business account with Scottish Power at all. Looks dodgy to me, so I’d say best not to pick up if this number rings, and definitely don’t call it back - feels like a scam for sure.Scottish Power7 yearsGot a call from a very packed clinic. The person was really insistent, and when I ended the call, she rang back right away, claiming the line had dropped. I told her I’d actually hung up, but she ignored me and kept talking over me, so I had to end the call again!8 yearsThey called me using just my first name, saying it was about renewing the electricity contract for my place and even gave the supplier’s name. But it felt off since the bills for that address are actually under my husband’s name. Plus, the electricity isn't directly connected to our house anyway. Seems like it might be a scam.Submit Your Own Report (0116 216 6471)
