1 yearSomeone said they were from Cambridge Water and told me our supply contract had expired.Cambridge Water2 yearsGot a message saying they were from Water Plus, who actually supply our water, but seemed fishy. They wouldn’t give any proper details in the email - definitely felt like a total con!Water Plus2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be British Gas, but it was just a load of scammers trying to pull a fast one. Total spam.British Gas2 yearsPretty sure it was a scam call. The person on the other end didn’t sound like they were from around here, had a really strong accent. Didn’t seem like they were using a VoIP line either, from what I could tell.UK2 yearsSomebody called saying they were from British Gas, trying to go over the terms and conditions to renew our electric supply over the phone. Definitely a scam.British Gas2 yearsIn the space of just an hour, I got three calls all wanting to talk to the "business owner," which immediately made me suspicious. The moment I asked if they knew the owner’s name, they hung up straight away. Pretty clear warning sign if you ask me.2 yearsI had a call from someone with an Asian accent, and I honestly couldn’t catch what they were saying. They mentioned something about water or our supply, but it all sounded really dodgy and unprofessional. Definitely felt like a scam or just some random cold call.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Yorkshire Water after first claiming to be Business Stream. They were really aggressive and kept pushing stuff on me. Not impressed at all.Business StreamYorkshire Water2 yearsHow on earth did this group from Asia find out we're having issues with our water company? They keep pestering us about renewing some contract... but honestly, we can't pick our water supplier anyway. It’s just more annoying, unwanted hassle that I never asked for! It really pisses me off. I wonder who’s behind paying these people?2 yearsThey keep calling pretending they’re from EON, like, twice every single day. I’m so over it, honestly.EON2 yearsGot a call from a number claiming to be British Gas, mentioning something about a letter from their Accounts Department saying our contract was ending. But that’s not true, we actually just renewed it recently. So, I blocked the number straight away.British GasAccounts Department2 yearsGot a call on our office line supposedly from British Gas, but since we’re actually with British Gas Lite, which only deals online, it felt a bit off. I played along for a while, but when they asked me to confirm the company name, I politely told them to buzz off and ended the call. I've warned my coworkers to ignore that number. Frustratingly, because it’s an office phone, we can’t block the calls, which is a pain!British GasBritish Gas Lite2 yearsSome guy rang me pretending to be from Eon, saying I needed to renew my contract that finishes in June. I told him no and requested to be taken off their list, but he flat out said ‘No’! I’ve blocked the number now.Eon2 yearsBe cautious of scams! I just received a notification claiming that my British Gas contract has been cancelled. Isn't it high time the government took action against these dodgy companies and locked them up?British Gas2 yearsI got a call from this Indian call centre pretending to be from our electricity provider. The guy said my bill wasn’t settled but I pay it monthly via direct debit so that sounded off to me.2 yearsThey kept saying my British Gas contract needed renewing, but it wasn’t even up yet. Wouldn’t take no for an answer at all. Proper annoying!British Gas2 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from British Gas and that my contract needed renewing. I explained it was a business line and asked him to send details by post instead. He then said that if I didn’t sort it on the spot, my contract would get cancelled. I told him to carry on then, no worries. The call ended abruptly. He didn’t seem very professional at all. ####British Gas2 yearsSomebody called pretending to be from Eon. When they asked, I mentioned I’ve got solar panels, then had a laugh trying to sell them electricity instead!Eon2 yearsFake call, they were claiming to be from EON.EON3 yearsShould you receive a call from EON, do yourself a favour and request their registration number. I can nearly guarantee that if they're up to no good, they'll cut the call faster than you can blink. You'll want to thank me for this little tip later! 😄EON3 yearsI received a phone call from 01173185440 claiming that my contract with Eon energy had expired. When I mentioned that I wasn’t a customer of theirs, the caller accused me of being dishonest and then abruptly ended the conversation. Quite rude, really!Eon3 yearsWatch out, this company is definitely trying to scam people! Best to steer clear!!!3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with EON energy, said there was some renewal thing we had to do. Then they asked for a confirmation or verification code from us. Seemed dodgy to me. Could have been risky.EON3 yearsHad a few calls last week from someone claiming to be EDF, asking to speak to the business owner about a fixed rate deal running out and offering to renew it. I requested they send the details by post but never got anything through. Now, a different number, 03332021218, is ringing with the same spiel.EDF3 yearsOn the 30th of November 2023, I got a call from a bloke asking how I was. When I asked who it was, he mentioned Eon and said my energy deal had expired. I raised an eyebrow and said, "Eon, you say?" He insisted it was them and mentioned they’d be sending a letter soon. I told him that’s fine, I’d wait for the letter, then to avoid wasting time for both of us, I just ended the call.Eon3 yearsThis number kept ringing us about four times since we ignored it, knowing straight away it was a scam. Finally, we picked up and some bloke with an Indian accent said he was from E-on Energy, threatening to cancel our electricity contract if we didn’t answer. Total con job. Don’t trust a word they say, just hang up if this number pops up!E - on Energy3 yearsI've had numerous calls from someone claiming to be from Eon, trying to persuade me to renew my contract. Definitely sounds like a bunch of scammers to me!Eon3 yearsThey kept ringing me saying they were with British Gas but I’m pretty sure they weren’t legit!British Gas3 yearsWas looking to sort out my electricity renewal but turns out it’s a complete rip-off. Wouldn’t trust it at all!3 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming they were from British Gas. Felt off straight away, like a scam. They kept trying to get me to give personal info. Definitely don’t trust calls out of the blue saying they’re from utility companies.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from a chap with an Indian accent, trying to chat about renewing our gas contract. As soon as I told him we weren't interested, he just cut the call off straight away. We're signed up with TPS as well.

After that, the same number rang me again, only the voice was completely different. I just ended the call and ignored when they tried ringing back.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas, said they needed to discuss the business contract renewal with the owner. Sounded a bit fishy to me.British Gas3 yearsJust got a call from some Indian call centre claiming they want to sort my water contract renewal... but isnt water something you dont really 'renew'? I've never had to do that.. Plus, I'm fairly certain United Utilities is the only one providing water here? So how can they be talking about renewing a deal when there's just the one company? Bit fishy if you ask me.United Utilities3 yearsSomeone rang claiming to be from South Staffordshire Water trying to get me to renew my contract. They started calling me deaf and stupid which made me think it was definitely a scam.South Staffs Water3 yearsThey rang me regarding my utility agreement. When I asked for the info they needed to verify, everything matched up. Seemed a bit dodgy, but they didn’t ask for any personal details.3 yearsI got a call from this company asking some stuff about my water bill for my place. After having a look at the reviews, I’m feeling a bit iffy about it now.4 yearsGot a call from some place in India claiming it was about renewing my water service.
