3 yearsGot a ring from this number today but didn’t pick up (I only take calls from people I know, if it matters they’ll leave a voicemail). I looked up the number afterwards and found out it’s a scam. The latest comment here was from seven months back but looks like they’re still at it!4 yearsGot a call from 01223 933615 claiming to be the tax office. They seem to have sorted it now, guess they got what they wanted with the payment for the gas. ####5 years01223931320 called me and it was just a total waste of time I didn’t want to deal with.5 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be a meter reader, but it seems they mixed up the meter number with another one! I told them our meters are actually smart meters, so it shouldn't be a problem.5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with EDF’s tech team. I checked with EDF directly and yep, it was a complete con. Avoid these scammers!EDFEDT5 yearsGot a call from a guy named Scott, sounded Indian, talking about some meter surge near our area code. He just cut the call off midway, so pretty clear it was just spam.Scott5 yearsGot a ring from this number today. The voice had a thick Indian accent and was asking for info about when our tariff ends and the details on our latest bill. They said something about our meter readings being confused with another person's. Pretty sure it was a scam, dodgy behaviour for sure!5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be British Gas. They already knew some of my info and were trying to get more out of me. Totally dodgy.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be British Gas, total scammer trying to hoodwink me. Don’t fall for it!British Gas5 yearsLike with other calls I've had, a bloke with an Asian accent pretended to be from my energy company saying there was an issue with meter readings. So I rang my actual energy provider and they said they hadn’t tried to get in touch with me at all. I've blocked the number, reported them, and told the guy to quit calling - he’s phoned me four times in only a couple of days! I know it’s definitely a scam but once you pick up their call, it seems they just won’t stop bothering you. Honestly, these scam calls are driving me mad.5 yearsGot calls saying they were from EDF, saying our bill was wrong and to just ignore it. Then they started asking for loads of details like our address and meter numbers. They've phoned us three times already now.EDF5 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be from EON NEXT, saying there had been a mistake on my last bill because of a postcode error. They asked for info from my earlier bills. It all sounded a bit dodgy, so I told them I'd ring EON on the official business number I had instead. They said I'd probably be on hold for more than half an hour, promised to call me back, and wanted the details that very day. I told them I didn’t have the info and preferred to sort it out myself directly.EON NEXTEON5 yearsgot calls daily from an asian lady saying she’s from my energy supplier. i phoned my energy company myself and they told me it isnt them ringing. quite annoying really.5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be with the British Gas metering team, but it was definitely a scam.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking English with a really thick Asian accent, saying she was from Opus Energy. She was on about a problem with my MPAN number messing up the meter reading. Then she just hung up out of the blue. A minute later, she rang back, sounding annoyed and wanted to talk to whoever's in charge of the electricity supply here. Well, it just so happens that’s me. With all these energy firms collapsing lately, I'm not surprised these scam artists are popping up more often. Absolute muppets, the lot of them.Opus Energy5 yearsGot a call from a lady speaking with a heavy Asian accent, saying she was from Opus Energy. Like others have mentioned, she said there was something wrong with the MPAN number linked to my electric meter. After I hung up, she rang back sounding quite frustrated and insisted on talking to whoever is in charge of the electricity supply here. Unfortunately for her, that was me. With all the chaos happening around energy firms right now, I reckon we’ll be seeing more of these slimy scam artists popping up. Proper low-life scammers, honestly.Opus Energy5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be EDF, they kept pestering me with loads of questions about my energy usage. Like someone else mentioned here, they said we had been charged too much. They also sent a suspicious email with some kind of code, it looked pretty legit at first. But something felt off, so I rang EDF myself and they told me straight away it was definitely a scam!EDF5 yearsThey said they were from Bryte Energy and asked for my meter number. It’s a complete scam, honestly. I just hung up straight away and blocked the number - don’t hand over any info to them!Bryte Energy5 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were from EDF and wanted my supply number. I told them it sounded dodgy because if I gave it, they might switch my provider without asking me. Plus, if they were really EDF, they’d already know my details and be able to say what my last few bills were. After that, they just hung up on me.EDF5 yearsSomeone rang up pretending to be from Haven Power, telling me there was an issue with our account and they needed a meter reading. I had a feeling it was a scam, so I got in touch with Haven Power directly (they actually supply our business) and they confirmed everything was fine with our account. They also said they'd inform all their customers by email to be careful about this sort of fraud.Haven Power5 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming he was from some energy meter reading firm, but his English was so bad I could barely understand him. He asked me to have a bill ready, but I couldn’t figure out which meter or supplier he meant since we’ve got a couple. When I asked for details, he got annoyed and kept insisting, so I just ended the call. Tried ringing back afterwards and got nothing but a busy tone. Seems dodgy to me, like they're just fishing for info to sneak into your utility accounts. Best not to pick up.5 yearsThe phone kept buzzing non-stop but whenever I picked up, it was just an automated voice. And if I didn't answer, I got the exact same recorded message left on my voicemail. Seems like they're using some kind of power dialler to call loads of people at once.5 yearsToday, this number tried calling my landline a few minutes after it rang my mobile, which I missed as well because I didn’t hear it. Looks like a spam call to me!5 yearsGot a call today from this number claiming to be from British Gas Lite. They said there was some issue with my account and wanted to check stuff like the MPAN number and contract date on my bill. I told them I wasn’t comfortable sharing that info but they kept pushing. When I asked if they could send me an email instead, they just ended the call suddenly!British Gas Lite5 yearsSomeone claiming to be from British Gas's meter team phoned, saying there'd been a mix-up with our meter readings because the reader apparently recorded the wrong meter and put it on our account. But we’re a business, and they gave us a residential postcode which obviously didn’t match our details. When I asked for proof they were actually with British Gas, they kept transferring me to several different people who couldn't give me any info specific to our account, only stuff that’s public on Companies House! Needless to say, we reported them to British Gas straight away. Seems like they’re trying to switch your provider over to their own company without you knowing!British GasCompanies House5 yearsGot a call from a private number claiming to be British Gas and ended up just hanging about for ages. Total waste of my time!British Gas5 yearsIf folks just ignored cold callers, I reckon they'd stop pretty quick. Problem is, plenty of people actually engage with them, so the firms keep at it. Me? I don’t bother at all. Any business that keeps ringing or sending random postcards, I just steer clear of them completely - done that quite a few times.5 yearsI’ve blocked this number and asked them to stop, but they just keep ringing non stop! It’s so annoying!5 yearsI’ve been getting loads of spam calls recently, both on my landline and mobile, and even my husband’s phone isn’t spared. It’s just nonstop and honestly, I’m fed up with it all!5 yearsThis morning, at a really early hour, this number gave us a ring. We usually don't pick up if we don’t know the caller, but hearing the phone go off so early made me uneasy, especially since I've got elderly family members around. It's hard not to worry about the worst when the phone buzzes like that so early on.5 yearsI got a call from this number, they were acting like they were from British Gas, giving me some vague figures and trying to trick me into handing over my bank info. If they ring you, just don’t bother and hang up straight away.British Gas5 yearsCheers mate, you really helped me out there!5 yearsThis scammer was so convincing, tried telling me I owed a massive bill of £3,000 due to a supposed wrong meter reading. Absolute rubbish and total lie, I didn’t owe a penny.5 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were with Octopus Energy and asked for my meter info. Seemed a bit fishy to me.Octopus Energy5 yearsThis number rang me up pretending to be from EDF's meter reading team. They wanted me to provide the supply number from our recent bill and to double-check our postcode. I'm pretty sure it's just a scam.EDF Energy5 yearsThis morning I got a call from someone saying he was with EON and warned me that three of our locations would lose power from noon until Friday. He said he needed our supply number and some personal info to set up a temporary supply. I told him to call me back at 11 am so I could verify the details. Of course, he never rang again. I then contacted our actual energy company, and they confirmed it was a scam.EON5 yearsCheers for the warning everyone. I just got a ring from this number earlier. The person on the line claimed to be from Engie and said our power would get shut off unless I connected them to our accounts team to check our details and all that.Engie5 yearsSomeone said they were from Scottish Power and wanted my gas meter’s MPRN number, saying there was a problem with their system and they couldn’t get the readings. They kept pushing me to give it to them. Thing is, we don’t even have a gas meter with Scottish Power.Scottish PowerMPRN5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me saying they're from British Gas, telling me our deal’s run out and they want to prepare a bill so we can consider some options. When I mentioned we don’t have any gas service, they switched to saying it was about electricity instead. They tried reading the last part of our MPAN code but wanted me to confirm the first part - I refused to share that. Their accents sounded off, definitely not British and quite difficult to understand. When I asked for details by email, they said they weren’t able to do that. Felt really suspicious to me, so I’d steer well clear of them. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas about some issue with my account. They had a thick Indian accent and kept saying the postcode was entered wrong on their system. I update my meter readings online every month, so there’s no way they could have messed up my billing. This is the fourth time in a couple of months I’ve been hassled by these calls. They try to frighten you by warning of a massive bill coming if you don’t sort it. Definitely a scam.British GasSubmit Your Own Report (01223 926614)
