4 yearsThis is my brokers UCR consultants contact. They really helped me cut down my bills, so I dont get why some folks think this is a scam - its defo not.UCR Consultants6 yearsThe person on the phone knew my first name right away and straight away started asking about loads of emails I'd supposedly been getting about a car crash I was in back in July. I told her I hadn’t got any emails like that at all, nor had I been in any accident. She sounded a bit puzzled, said she would correct her info, and then just hung up.6 yearsNo idea who that was. They hung up before I could answer. Didn’t leave any voicemail either.6 yearsGot calls 14 times in just one day, all from blocked numbers, none left a voicemail. Finally picked up one and it was about renewing my energy contract. UCR A####, what a pain! Their main line is 01163260188.7 yearsHad some so-called consultant throwing my electricity provider’s name about, trying to make it sound like it wasn’t a random cold call. I just said if he was really linked to them, he’d already have any info he needed and then ended the call.7 yearsI recently encountered a shady "consultancy" that was obviously trying to fish for my electricity account information. They were attempting to mimic my actual provider’s communication style.7 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from our energy company and asked me to grab a bill. I asked for their details and said I’d ring back, but the number they gave didn’t match our actual supplier. When I questioned it, they said they were ERG consultants, not the actual provider. I told them we only deal straight with our supplier, and they politely said they’d leave us alone. Still, they’re definitely pretending to be someone they’re not - this should probably be reported and checked out for dodgy sales tricks! At first, they sounded quite convincing.7 yearsThose pesky energy brokers from Parasites UCR seem to have a knack for employing a multitude of callers from India who are incessantly ringing you up. It's quite irritating, to say the least!Parasites UCRIndia7 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HMRC, they said I had to press 1 or I'd get arrested for some fraud they made up. Then they asked for some random person's name. Stay away from these scams!HMRC7 yearsAnother Friday arvo drop call, and of course it wasn’t someone looking to buy from my business. So annoying!7 yearsJust like others have said, these lot from UCR have loads of 0116 numbers. If they can’t reach you on one, they just keep calling from another. Honestly, avoid these muppets at all costs!UCR7 yearsHe said he was from British Gas at first, but when I asked more, he admitted he was actually calling from UCR on their behalf. He knew my company’s name and address and really tried to convince me he was with British Gas. I hadn’t had contact with BG recently though, and the number on the caller ID didn’t match any I’ve seen before. Seemed like a scam trying to get my MPAN/MPR details and push me into 'renewing' a contract. I told him I’m locked in with my current provider for 3 more years, and that was the end of the call.British GasUCRMPANMPR8 yearsThis number definitely won’t leave you alone. Today we told them several times to stop ringing and just ended the call. But they kept ringing right away, so we snapped back pretty harshly and told them to bugger off. After that, the phone kept buzzing non-stop until we said we’d report them, then they finally quit. The caller said they were UCR for EDF Energy. Honestly, avoid these lot… they’re beyond rude and absolutely untrustworthy.UCREDF Energy8 yearsWhat a nightmare, someone called saying I’d been in a crash, but it was totally a con.8 yearsThey rang but didn’t bother to leave any voicemail.8 yearsThey rang me but didn’t say anything or leave a message.8 yearsSomeone called asking if I was in some kind of accident and then just ended the call straight away.8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were trying to renew my British Gas electricity contract. They had all my company info already. When I said we dont have a contract with British Gas, they asked who our supplier was. I just told them that was none of their concern.British Gas8 yearsCalled but didn’t leave any message.8 yearsThey kept asking me about a crash which apparently was my fault, but I told them I wasn’t aware of anything like that.8 yearsThey rang my phone but didnt bother to leave a message.8 yearsthis person claimed to be from british gas wanting to renew my contract. they couldnt provide my meter number and asked me for it. i said id ring back later, and he turned quite rude. i ended the call and he rang back immediately, being just as aggressive to my colleague.British Gas8 yearsThey said they were from an energy company but even after I told them we wasnt interested, they keep ringing nearly every week.8 yearsSaid they were from our electricity provider and seemed to know way too much about our agreement, really aggressive with their approach.8 yearsSomeone said they were from Opus Energy, but when I rang Opus myself, they told me it wasn’t them calling.Opus Energy8 yearsthey claimed they could supply my energy and help me save, but they didnt even know who my current supplier was lol. now they keep ringing me and i just dont answer. had about 7 calls this morning alone.9 yearssome bloke called saying he was from my energy company saying i had to renew my contract yet again, even tho i only did it like 4 months back. he reckoned i was paying loads more than usual, which was total rubbish. didnt trust him one bit, smells like dodgy agents trying to trap you into some crap energy deal. seriously, check your info before calling!10 yearsThey claimed to be u.c.r, representing a energy company called bes, who operate a stall at Fleetwood Town FC. From what i’ve been through myself, bes are total dodgy characters - absolute cowboy scammers. I’d seriously advise staying well clear of them if you value your peace of mind.U. C. RBESFleetwood Town FC10 yearsReceived a voicemail purporting to be from my energy provider. It was quite unsettling as they were aware of my renewal date.10 yearsI came across a company called Essential Risk Solutions Limited; they operate out of Leicester and specialise in insurance services.Essential Risk Solutions LimitedLeicester11 yearsmy phone only went off one time and they didnt leave any voicemail. can anyone tell me who it was?Submit Your Own Report (0116 216 9684)
