3 yearsI just let it go to voicemail, didn’t answer.3 yearsGot calls from these people two times in just a couple days, and like others said, total scammers.3 yearsWe’ve had this Indian woman ringing almost every day for three days now, really insistent that she was legit. When we didn’t hand over the details she asked for, she turned quite aggressive and even said she’d disconnect our power. Proper dodgy scam, watch out for it.India3 yearsToday, 19.09.23, I got a call at the office from 01225296086 claiming to be from Octopus - total rubbish! Right away they asked me to dig out an invoice so they could tell me what info they needed next. I mean, come on, if they were really Octopus they'd already have that info, right? I told them straight up their number and where they said they were didn’t match Octopus at all, and to not bother calling back unless they wanted me to give them a mouthful! I’ve also flagged it to Octopus.Octopus EnergyOctopus3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with EDF, saying our meter reading was off. They mentioned a postcode that wasn’t right and wanted the correct one. Also asked for my email address. The caller spoke really well and asked for our names too, speaking with a strong Indian accent. Like others have said in their reviews, they asked about the meter number but didn’t seem to have it. I’m going to reach out to my supplier directly now.EDF3 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said he was from British Gas, but sounded like he was from India. Feels like they’re just after your info to sell it on or something. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from EON. He said there was a problem with our bill and it had to be fixed. I asked him to show he was legit, and he said he had our meter number. When I asked him to tell me it, he took a while and then stumbled over a number. I put him on hold for about five mins then came back and told him there wasn't any issue with our bills. He just ended the call. Watch out, loads of scammers going about!E. ON3 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke claiming he was with Pozitive Energy, our supplier. He'd rang a while back too. Said there was some problem with the invoice, something about the meter reading not registering properly. Since we're billed every half hour, I knew straight away he was talking rubbish! I told him I can see everything myself online and don’t need his nonsense. They just want your meter details and to get you to say yes so they can rip you off and switch your provider without you knowing... I told him to jog on. WATCH OUT, FOLKS!Pozitive Energy3 yearsBeware, definitely a scam!3 yearsGot loads of calls from some dodgy lot pretending there was an error with our electricity bill. They even knew who our suppliers were, so it sounded legit at first. Luckily, I didn't give them any info when they asked for more details. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.3 yearsSomeone called saying they were from EDF and mentioned there was some confusion with six other meters in my postcode. How on earth did they know I took a meter reading on the 7th of September? Plus, they had my name and email! It sounded believable because I did enter my reading online that day. Makes me wonder if the EDF website got compromised or something?EDF3 yearsSomebody calling themselves British Gas was really desperate for my invoice info, said there was some "technical problem". It wasn’t genuine at all, seemed like a total scam trying to get my account stuff. Super pushy and kept demanding answers immediately. Definitely a dodgy call, watch out!British Gas3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the British Gas meter reading team, but their thick Indian accent gave it away. They only knew stuff that anyone can find online, nothing private or special. Felt a bit dodgy to me.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're with British Gas needing to confirm my meter numbers, spoke with a really strong Indian accent. Hung up and blocked straight away.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from a guy claiming to be from E-ON, said he knew loads about my business. He was going on about some billing errors but I wasn’t buying it at all. I asked him for the password I set up on my account after a dodgy call like this before, and guess what? He had no clue what it was! He said he’d ring me again tomorrow - can’t wait... not!E - ON3 yearsSomeone calling as Crown & Gas rang me with loads of billing details and then tried to make me believe our meter reading was wrong. Felt really dodgy to me.Crown & Gas3 yearsMy workplace got a call from this number, and the person on the other end acted like they were from the energy company we deal with. They actually had quite a bit of info, even how our bills from that company are laid out - which surprised me since the supplier isn’t exactly famous. I ended up calling our real energy provider myself, and they told me it definitely wasn’t them ringing. Seems like they were fishing for details about our business, probably hoping to snag some bank info.3 yearsThis number rang me up, and the woman said she was from SSE. She mentioned I’d been charged for someone else’s much higher bill from a postcode that was only slightly different. She said she’d ring me back later to give me time to dig out a bill (I’ve since blocked the number). Oddly, she already had my email and sent a one-time passcode which came with a message saying they’d never request that code over email or phone. I pointed this out to her, but she just ignored it. Pretty believable though.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas Lite, saying I'd been charged by a different company. They asked for all the info from my meter. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.British Gas Lite3 yearsGot a call from someone named Clara about our meter reading being wrong for E-ON. I told her we don’t actually use E-ON and she just ended the call. Been the same woman ringing me for the past couple years, so reckon it’s not some massive scam team or anything.ClaraE - ON3 yearsI got a phone call from someone who wanted to speak to our accounts team. The caller had a strong Indian accent and you could hear loads of background noise. He claimed to be ringing from our energy company. When I asked which one, he just brushed it off and started talking about a misread meter reading, saying their reader had entered the wrong postcode. He then gave me what he said was our correct postcode. He told me there wouldn’t be any charge, but he needed our meter number. I told him I’d check it on our next bill and ended the call. It was clear he knew we were a business and our postcode, but didn’t actually know who our energy provider was. Feels like he was just fishing for the meter number to run some kind of scam afterwards.3 yearsThis number kept calling my workplace, and when I told them I didn’t want to talk and hung up, they rang back 7 more times asking why I’d ended the call. With every ring I got ruder, till they finally stopped. Oddly, after their calls, our phone line was down for over an hour - no incoming or outgoing calls. Feels like more than just chance to me...3 yearsSome bloke rang saying he was with EON and told me to get online and switch my password while we were still chatting on the phone.Eon3 yearsDon’t trust this number, it’s one of those dodgy calls pretending to be from gas or electric companies. Never give out your meter details to them!3 yearsFraud alert!! Watch out!3 yearsThis has got to be a scam, 100%!Avoid3 yearsGot a call from them earlier - they seemed to have my details from British Gas and asked me to confirm everything. They claimed my meter readings were being sent to some other company. I always keep an eye on my readings, so I knew right away it was dodgy. Such a shame these scammers give a bad name to everyone.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from some Indian bloke saying he was Stephen from Eon Next. He tried telling me there was an issue with our bill and asked me to confirm the meter reading and number. I didn’t bother and told him to get lost.StephenEon3 yearsGot a call from a bloke sounding Indian pretending he was Stephen from Eon Next. Said there was an issue with our bill and asked for our meter number and reading. Told him to quit wasting my time straight away.Stephen3 yearsCalled by some scammers, not giving them any details. Seriously, if they're the ones calling, they should already have the info. They were really pushy and disrespectful, kept going even when I said no. Such rude behaviour!3 yearsThat call was from Engie, I reckon.3 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be British Gas. Felt a bit dodgy, glad I didn’t give out any info. Watch out, these scammers are everywhere!British Gas3 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be British Gas saying there was an issue with my meter reading. He asked me for the reading from my last bill and promised to share some numbers to verify his identity. I told him straight away there’s a password on my account and if he didn’t give it, I couldn’t carry on with the chat. After that, I just blocked the number.British Gas3 yearsSomeone called pretending to be from Opus Energy, asking me to verify my business information and address, but it sounded dodgy.Opus Energy3 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming he was with British Gas saying there was an issue with our billing. When I requested the account number he was meant to have, he couldn’t provide it but offered some other info instead, like a meter point reference number or something. I told him I wouldn’t accept anything less than the account number then ended the call. Definitely sounded like a scam.British Gas3 yearsJust got a ring that sounds exactly like the ones folks have described here. The person on the line knew quite a bit, but I didn’t feel comfortable sharing any details. He claimed to be with EDF and mentioned something about my meters being swapped with another nearby firm. In the end, he asked for my email, which I wasn’t ready to hand over and told him he should already have it. I ended the call pretty quick as it all seemed odd. EDF told me they’re getting reports like this every day lately.EDF3 yearsIf you ask anything, they just cut the call, so best not to share any info with this number.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Scottish Power, but when I asked for my account number, he just made one up. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.Scottish Power3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with smart energy. When I told him no one was free to chat, he got quite rude and just ended the call.Smart Energy3 yearsPhone call claimed to be about a late payment for an Eon account, which we don't actually have. These annoying calls keep coming and they're really not wanted at all.Eon3 yearsGot a call at work from someone saying there was an error in their system and our meter readings had got confused with the people next door. They had loads of our info except the actual account number. They kept trying different tactics to squeeze out details, even throwing out a wrong account number then asking me to confirm the right one. Something didn’t sit right when they asked if we paid by direct debit - we don’t. They were really pushy and a bit rude too, kept ringing us back three times in total.3 yearsGot a call from this so-called energy firm, I think it was Pakki or something, but took one look and realised it was a scam, so I just hung up straight away.3 yearsGot a few calls from someone saying they were from British Gas, going on about some problem with our meter and wanting info from our energy bills. They rang me three times and wouldn’t take no for an answer, quite a nuisance really.British Gas3 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they just ended the call.3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with British Gas, asking to talk to the account manager. I just ended the call, but then he rang straight back and this time sounded really pushy and quite rude, going on about our invoice postcode not being correct.British Gas3 yearsJust like a few other folks have said, the caller mentioned our energy provider’s name (how do they get hold of that info?), said someone messed up and read the meter at the wrong property. They’ve sent us a bill that doesn’t add up and wanted to confirm our meter number. When I asked what info they had, they just ended the call. Very suspicious!3 yearsReally unpleasant bloke on the phone claiming to be from EON Next, trying to chat about our energy contract coming up. Since we already deal with EON Next, I asked if he could just send me an email because I handle that stuff. He wouldn't agree to that at all. Then, when I asked him for his name and which office he was calling from so I could note it down, he just refused again and snapped at me, saying "How can you be in charge if you’re not paying attention?" Honestly, it was so frustrating I had no choice but to hang up. What a nightmare of a caller!EON Next3 yearsGot called by someone saying they were from Scottish Power, trying to scam me about a bill. Total dodgy deal.Scotland3 years01225296806 - Got a call from someone claiming to be James Morgan at British Gas, saying there was an issue with my bill and needed meter details. When I asked for a contact number or email to call them back, he said no and told me just to find my bill and confirm the info. I wasn’t having any of it and told him I’d contact British Gas myself. He insisted he was from the metering team and knew my supply number, but I never gave him any details. Asked him to ring back instead. I looked up the number online afterwards and yep, seems dodgy. I had a feeling it was a scam from the start!James MorganBritish Gas3 yearsSo this bloke said he was with Octopus, right? I asked him where their call centre was and I was ready for the usual answer, probably India, which honestly wouldn’t make much sense to me anyway. But then he goes and says Birmingham! Still not true I reckon, but at least not the usual dodgy reply. Made me suspicious straight away.OctopusIndiaBirmingham3 yearsI got a call from a man with an Indian accent who said there was a mistake with my meter reading and my bill, which supposedly was over £1000, had been wrongly charged. He asked for some details to fix it. When I started to doubt him, he got pretty pushy. I told him it sounded like a scam and he got a bit heated. I ended up hanging up and then looked up the number online. Thankfully, I didn’t provide any info. The weird thing is, he already had my name, address and even my meter number. Watch out for this sort of thing!3 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy, or at least I think that’s what I heard. He said he was from some electricity company reading meters and wanted info from our bill. Claimed there was a mistake with our bill, something like £9,000 owed, but told us to ignore it. Needed our details so they could supposedly fix the bill and send the right one. After seeing the comments here, I’m pretty sure it’s a total scam.3 yearsGot a phone call from someone claiming to be British Gas. I found it strange because they never ring me, so I said it sounded like a scam and then they just hung up on me.British Gas3 yearsJust got a suspicious ring from "David, British Gas" from 01225296806 again. Apparently there's some issue with our account. Honestly, after the rant I gave him, I’m surprised he kept calm - I probably need to scrub my mouth now after all the stuff I let fly!DavidBritish Gas3 yearsJust got a call and honestly, I can't help but assume any cold caller with a thick Indian accent is trying to scam me, especially when they're asking for someone linked to money stuff, no matter what number they’re ringing. I usually put them on hold, quickly google the number and then block it straight away. But to be fair, I’ve already dismissed them from the moment they started speaking. And who knows, maybe these calls are already done by bots or soon will be, with all the AI tech nowadays!A. I.3 yearsDavid, I gotta say, there’s just something fishy about you. That’s all I’m gonna say.David3 yearsThis is definitely a scam, so don't share any of your details with them!3 yearsGot another suspicious ring from a bloke claiming to be "David from British Gas." Seems like there’s some sort of issue with our account again... If only that was the worst of it, after the rant I unleashed on him, I reckon my mouth needs a good rinse after all the stuff I said!!DavidBritish Gas3 yearsGot a call from someone saying our electricity supplier had been charging us too much, but when I asked who they were with they couldn’t say for sure. They told me to just forget about a £900 bill that was supposedly coming through because it was a mistake, and then asked me for meter info. I just said “No thanks” and ended the call. Total scam.3 yearsGot a call supposedly from "British Gas" about an issue with my last bill. They claimed an £800 charge was made for the wrong postcode. They told me to just disregard the bill. Then they asked for my meter number to make sure they had the right account. I said I didn’t have any bills to hand. They then asked if I could access my online account to get the meter number, but I told them I wasn’t by a computer. After that, they requested my email so they could send me more information.British Gas3 yearsPretty sure this was a scam. They rang up saying they were from Eon and wanted to speak to accounts payable, mentioned my energy usage was way higher than usual. Then they asked for my meter number. I told them to just email me at the address they had on file instead.3 yearsThese lot were total scammers, kept trying to say our electric use was ridiculously high. Thankfully, we had a password sorted with the legit company, so when i asked for it, the bloke just ended the call.3 yearsGot a call at work from someone claiming to be E-on Energy, asking for accounts payable details. I told them our payment had already gone out last Friday, so I wasn’t too suspicious initially. Then they mentioned some issues with their database, which made me start to doubt the whole thing. I just told them I didn’t think they were legit E-on and hung up straight away.E - on Energy3 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Corona Energy, asking for my meter reading. Definitely a dodgy energy scam, be careful!Corona Energy3 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from British Gas, saying there was an issue with our meter and asked for our information. I told them if they really worked for our supplier, they’d already know that stuff. I just ended the call. Total scammer.British Gas3 yearsSaid they were with British Gas. Total scam call.British Gas3 yearsThis number has called me 4 times over the last two days claiming they're with EDF and asking for my bill details. I mean, if they really worked for EDF, wouldn’t they already have access to my bill? Seems a bit dodgy to me.EDF3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from our energy supplier. They told us there was an issue with the meter reading and wanted us to confirm some info so we wouldn’t get overcharged. When I asked them to send an email instead, they said the system was down for maintenance and couldn’t do that. I just ended the call there!3 yearsI was just trying to check which company supplies my electricity. I ended the call pretty quickly without sharing any of my details.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from our electricity provider, saying we had to check our details or we'd get charged too much. They even messed up the name of our actual supplier. When I called them out on it, they just ended the call. Total scam!3 yearsJust got a ring from this number and it sounded a bit dodgy, so I looked up the details and got worried about their questions. I then reached out to my energy provider directly, since they said they were calling from there, and they told me they had no clue about the call and that number isn’t linked to them. So yeah, definitely looks like a scam from what I can tell.3 yearsThey said they were from British Gas, but I’m pretty sure that wasn’t true. I just said, “Thanks, but please don’t call me again,” and ended the call right away.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with EDF but working with British Gas. They said they needed to talk to accounts about our energy use, saying it seemed too high and wanted to go over some details from a recent bill. Then, no more than five minutes after hanging up, I got a message from British Gas asking if I'd tried to reset my password on their website. Bit suspicious if you ask me.EDFBritish Gas3 yearsHad a ring earlier from someone saying they were with Opus Energy. After checking out the other reviews, it’s pretty clear this is yet another SCAM!Opus Energy3 yearsI kept getting calls from someone claiming to be with British Gas.
