They just keep calling me over and over.

ENERGY SWITCHING COMPANY They weren’t trying to rip me off or anything, just offering a way to cut down my energy bills. I told them cheers, but I’m tied into a fixed deal with penalties if I leave early. Still, I’ll give them a ring once that’s over.

Somebody phoned pretending to be from an energy firm, saying they could help me save cash by switching suppliers. They were rushing me, expecting me to have all my energy details ready on the spot. I said I'd prefer them to ring another time - might be a laugh to see if they actually do!
