01224044591 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01224044591 👆 is reported as a highly persistent and convincing scam originating from callers impersonating UK energy suppliers such as Eon, British Gas, Scottish Power, NPower, and EDF. Callers often claim billing errors or meter reading mix-ups, demanding sensitive details like meter numbers, account information, and payment histories. They use coercive tactics, including threats of disconnection and pressure to comply immediately, but are unable to verify key account data themselves. Calls frequently feature strong South Asian accents and involve multiple callbacks. Genuine companies confirm they do not cold call customers in this manner. Recipients are advised not to share any personal or billing information, to hang up promptly, and to verify all claims directly with their official energy provider to avoid falling victim to these scams.
Reports on phone number 01224044591
5 yearsGot a call from someone called Ryan at Opus Energy talking about me supposedly overpaying £300 on my bill. Felt fishy straight away. When I asked for my account info, he couldn’t give me anything and then tried to verify me by asking for my last three payments. I gave the details and he didn’t accept any, which was a dead giveaway. Definitely a scam attempt.RyanOpus Energy5 yearsGot a call from Scottish Power earlier, asked for someone in the accounts department. The caller had an accent, sounded like maybe Pakistani or Bangladeshi. I just ended the call straight away.Scottish Power5 yearsThis morning I got a call from someone pretending to be British Gas, saying there was a mistake with their system and they needed my meter number. They were really pushy about getting my info. Even after I told them I wasn’t falling for it and knew it was a scam, they kept pushing. I’ve blocked the number now.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from a guy with a thick Asian accent calling himself Mr Bull, saying he was from EONNEXT and that he’s a commercial customer of ours. They completely messed up with GDPR and kept pressing me for info instead of admitting they’d forgotten the details. From what I’ve seen in other comments, maybe they should stick to pretending they’re the supplier rather than the customer since they’re just awful at it, honestly.BullEONNEXT5 yearsGot a call from 01224044591, this person said they were from British Gas Lite and claimed my bill was incorrect because I'd apparently been billed for someone else's energy usage. They wanted me to have my bills ready to sort it out. I told them I’d ring back later 'cos I had their number, but they said they worked from home and couldn’t be reached through British Gas Lite. After checking my bills, everything seemed fine, so it definitely felt like a scam. They kept calling me back, really pushy, so in the end, I blocked the number.British Gas LiteGas5 yearsGot a call supposedly from EDF asking for my meter ID, saying there was an issue with my account. I felt something was off, so I called EDF directly after and they told me everything's alright with my account. Be careful and don’t give out any info to this number!EDF5 yearsReceived a rather dubious call from a chap named Ryan, claiming to be affiliated with Eon and NPower. He alleged that due to multiple meters for various enterprises housed within the same building, our energy readings had been mixed. He insisted that we were entitled to a refund because we'd inadvertently been charged for another business's energy consumption. He provided me with a specific meter reference number and even went so far as to suggest he could liaise directly with my accountant when I mentioned that all our billing documentation was managed through them. However, given that we operate under a different trading name from what's displayed on the bills, I had my suspicions about the authenticity of this call! Despite his relentless approach and the air of credibility he projected, my colleagues concurred with my doubts-many of them likely would have been tricked by this cunning ruse!RyanEonNPower5 yearsGave them a ring about my energy bill, wanted to make sure it was sorted and up to date properly.5 yearsGot a call saying they were from British Gas business, told me there was a problem with my invoices. Total scam, definitely not legit.British Gas Business5 yearsI got three calls from 01224044591. The first time, they claimed to be from SSE. I missed the second call altogether. On the third call, the bloke said he was ringing from EON. It sounded like the same guy all three times. He wanted me to confirm my supply number and mentioned sending an engineer. When I began asking a few questions, he just ended the call. Feels like a scam to me!SSEEON5 yearsPhone call from some energy company trying to scam you - just end the call straight away!5 yearsGot a call from a bloke who sounded Indian, seemed pretty convincing at first. He kept saying he couldn’t share any real details about my account unless it was stuff that anyone could find online. The whole time, it felt like they were hanging on to every word I said. When I told him I was pretty sure he wasn’t really from Npower, he started threatening to disconnect my meter. Honestly, I’m convinced this is a scam, so watch out for this one.5 yearsI recently received a call from someone identifying himself as Kevin, but he had a strong Asian accent, which set off my alarm bells. He claimed to be from SSE, though I find that hard to believe. After having a chat with SSE directly, I found out they stick to a strict no cold calling rule. It’s clear to me that these calls are likely coming from dodgy brokers operating out of India, trying to make a quick buck. Frankly, I'm fed up with these persistent calls!KevinSSEIndia5 yearsSo this bloke rings me up claiming his name's Kevin, but his heavy accent made me doubt that straight away. He said he was from SSE, but honestly, I've had enough of these calls. I checked with SSE and they don't do cold calls at all, so it’s pretty obvious these are dodgy brokers operating from somewhere like India trying to scam their way in. Totally fed up with it!KevinSSEIndia5 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent on 01224 044591 claiming he worked for British Gas, but we don’t even use their services.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be NPower, had a really thick accent. They said they were setting up an engineer to come out. I ended the call, but they kept ringing me back. Proper annoying!5 years###SCAM ALERT### Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was from British Gas Lite. He asked for my electricity contract end date and billing info. I checked with British Gas through their webchat, and they confirmed the number isn’t theirs. Definitely a scam, be careful!British Gas LiteBritish Gas5 yearsOh, it’s totally a scam. They ring up claiming to be from some company, and if you say you deal with a different one, they’ll call again next week pretending to be from that one instead! I just keep switching up the energy provider I say I’m with every time they call back. Honestly, can’t believe they haven’t figured out I’m messing with them yet!5 yearsGot a call from a guy named David who had a really thick Asian accent. He claimed he worked for some company called Opus Energy or something and said there’s been a mix-up with our meter readings alongside another firm. Said they need to double-check our bills, but I told him I'll ring back later. He kept saying I couldn’t call him back because his team doesn’t take incoming calls. He said he’d be ringing me again tomorrow. Think I’ll just put him on hold when he does!DavidOpus Energy6 yearsIs it just me or does Scottish Power seem to be getting their consumption figures wrong on my bill? I've checked everything and my usage is nowhere near what they say. Anyone else having this problem? Feels like they might be estimating way too high.6 yearsI got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from Opus Energy. He claimed there was an issue with our last bill and needed to fix it, asking for our meter and account details. Told him we haven’t been customers of Opus for ages. Then I rang Opus myself, and they said it’s either a scam or some broker trying something dodgy.Opus EnergyOpus6 yearsI’m with British Gas and can confirm this isn’t us. Got a call from this number, with someone pretending to be a customer trying to get info. Total scam, don’t give them any details!British Gas6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were British Gas. I ended the call and rang British Gas straight away to check if it was legit. They told me it was a scam and said that most of the info these scammers have is stuff that’s easy to find anyway. They warned me that if you give them more details, they’ll try to sign you up for contracts pretending to be you. Best thing to do is just hang up.British Gas6 yearsi got a call from someone claiming to be david at scottish power, saying they needed to update my electric number on their records. i didn’t give him the info and said i’d call him back later. he kept pushing and said he was the one who called me. i told him i wasn’t available at the time. when i checked the number, 01224044591, it came up as a scam.DavidScottish Power6 yearsi got a call from someone named david claiming he was with british gas. he said there was a glitch in their system and he needed the start date of my contract. he already had my address, supply number and some other details, made it seem legit. he kept pushing for info, really persistent. i told him to reach out to the accounts department instead, they’d have whatever he needed. it went on for about ten minutes. best to just hang up and not share anything.British Gas6 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Scottish Power about my meter readings being wrong. Ended up them passing my details on to Money Supermarket.

Has anyone else had this happen?Opus Energy6 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who said he was calling from Scottish Power. At first, it all sounded pretty legit, but something felt off, so I decided to humour him without giving away any info.

When I asked where he was based, he said Manchester, but when I looked up the phone number, it was actually from Aberdeen. Problem is, Haven doesn't have offices in either city. Total scammer, don’t fall for it or share any details!Haven PowerManchesterAberdeenHaven6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with British Gas, said they needed to confirm my meter number before sending someone out. I told them the meter was actually read just yesterday, which is true, and that I’d ring British Gas myself to check.
