Gave me a bell claiming to be from the national grid, saying they had to swap out my meter. What's bonkers is they didn’t even have a clue about who supplies my energy!

I intended to swap out the meter, but my frustration soared when I confronted him about it.

Got a call from a bloke saying I needed a new electric meter fitted, he even set a date for it. Then he tried to get my meter reading, but I told him that if he was really from the electricity firm, he'd already have that info. Ended up hanging up on him. He gave a meter number something like e115)w60371 and said his name was Daniel. Quite fishy if you ask me.

I received a call from someone claiming they needed to swap my meter, though they really butchered my name. I requested a contact number to return the call, and they provided 02081443717 - which I still plan to look into. The chap said his name was Adam, but I must say, his voice didn't seem to correspond with that at all!

Got a call from someone named Ahmed saying he was from my energy company, telling us we need a new meter installed. My wife answered but acted clueless, so they ended up just leaving a message. I’m pretty sure they’re up to no good, probably trying to trick us into switching our electricity provider without us realising.

A guy rang up saying he was with the National Grid, telling me they’d be swapping out my meter on the 1st of July and that a letter had been sent about it. He said his name was Adam and gave me a serial number for the new meter. Then he wanted me to send a photo of my current meter. I found it a bit fishy, so I told him I couldn’t access it. Didn’t bother me that I never got any letter either, so I asked him for a contact number. I ended up calling the National Grid myself, and they said they hadn’t had any call or arranged anything like that.

Got a call from someone saying they had to swap out my meter, which is barely a couple of years old, claiming it was faulty. I checked with my energy company and they had no clue about it, definitely seemed like a scam to me.

Got a call from someone wanting to swap our electric meter, but it’s barely a couple of years old - instantly felt dodgy. I rang up our energy company just to be sure, and as I thought, it was a scam. Not sure what they hoped to get from it, but I’ve already flagged it to action fraud.

A woman claiming to represent the National Grid rang me up, supposedly about a complaint concerning our elevated Gas and Electricity bills. However, she couldn't specify which company the complaint was lodged with. When I requested a contact number for any future inquiries, she had the audacity to call our landline, a number we don't even publicly share. Quite suspect, if you ask me!

Looks like some kinda energy scam. Best not to share any of your info with them.

Got a call from someone called Shaun, supposed to be from the meter services, on 0121 3187917. He said they wanted me to confirm swapping my meter on Friday 12th March - today is the 9th. He even gave me a serial number for the new meter. Tried ringing them back but no luck getting through. I’ve emailed my energy provider too, and they haven’t said a word about changing meters. Normally they'd send a letter or update my online account. Feels like this call wasn’t really from my supplier.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from our energy provider, stating that we had a refund due. They requested our bank information, but I pointed out that if they truly represented the company, they would already have that on file.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the complaints team at National Grid, saying there was an issue with our meter. Since we don’t actually use National Grid, it seemed like a sneaky sales tactic to me.

Pretty clear they’ve done this loads before, kept pestering me with questions and whenever I pushed back, they just came up with a bunch of reasons. When I asked things, he couldn’t really give straight answers. I just told him I knew nothing, then he started making excuses and said he’d get back to me after I got some letter through the post.

Somebody called me pretending to be from a UK energy company. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.

I've had this number ring me loads of times, claiming they're from some complaints team linked to UK energy services, like Ofgem or something. They keep asking for all sorts - my email, mobile, WhatsApp, and even my birth date! Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.

We’ve been bombarded by calls from this number claiming to be a representative of a UK energy firm, insisting they’re reaching out regarding a complaint. Quite baffling, really!

I've received a fair few calls claiming to be from Dual Energy, alleging that the National Grid has raised some sort of issue regarding our premises. The caller provided the phone number 0121 318 7917, although I’m not entirely convinced it’s the right one.
