Somebody rang saying they’re an energy adviser and wanted to check if I was on the right deal for my smart meter. Told them I don’t even have a smart meter, so instantly knew it was some dodgy scam. Didn’t waste time and blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from someone about energy stuff, they even knew my first name! Sounded like they had an Indian accent. I was pretty blunt and told them exactly where to stick it.

I got a call from someone saying they were from the energy company. They were asking for my mum, who sadly died last year. They wanted to discuss her energy bill or something. Complete load of rubbish if you ask me.

I got a call from a Cheltenham number saying they were from the energy team. They already knew my name and postcode, but I just hung up straight away. Total scam, mainly going after older or more vulnerable people. Be careful!

This number called me earlier but dropped the call right after I picked up. When I tried calling back using a withheld number, all I got was some weird whistling sound. I just ended the call and blocked them straight away.

Got a call with no message left - definitely one of those cold call types.

You could tell this call was coming from some sort of call centre because of all the noise in the background. The person who spoke had a foreign accent and weirdly used my first name straight away, which made me feel a bit uneasy. Being older, these scam calls popping up more and more often really get to me. Also, this number didn’t show the typical SCAM ALERT on my phone like I’m used to seeing.

Got a call from a blocked number telling me my energy deal had finished. When I asked which company they were with, she said it was one I’m already signed up to. Bit fishy if you ask me.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from Octopus Energy, telling me my fixed tariff was about to finish. Since I’d only just signed up anyway, I knew straight away it was dodgy. Diane, I didn’t get into a proper chat, just told them I was hanging up and then did exactly that. Later, I looked up the number and rang the company myself, and they confirmed they hadn’t made the call.

I've had this 01242 312044 pop up on my phone a few times now, and honestly, it feels dodgy. Seems like some kind of scam thing, so I made sure not to pick up. From what I gather, the number’s from Cheltenham. Actually, in the last week or so, I’ve had about ten calls from Cheltenham numbers and never answered any. Pretty sure there’s some sort of scam going on with these calls.

Been getting calls from this number a lot lately. Reckon it's a scammer trying to trick my elderly dad into giving up info. The area code matches several numbers I've blocked over the past week.
