Phone number ☎️ 01242472655 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number often using a female voice, possibly an AI bot named Olivia, which attempts to sound convincing by addressing people by name.

I got a call from someone called Olivia, sounded like a bot, trying to get me to switch to a cheaper plan. They then handed me over to some so-called "expert" who just said hello. I told him I was listening but didn’t want him to do anything, and then he just yawned and hung up on me. Proper rude behaviour!

So this person called and began by using a name that isn't mine, then claimed to be from some energy team trying to assist me. When I asked which company she was with, she just kept repeating herself without giving a clear answer, only saying she wasn't with British Gas. She wanted to offer help to lower my bills, but I simply said no and hung up.

I’ve had a pretty similar run-in with the Olivia caller as others here. Whenever I ask what company "she" represents, silence followed by the call suddenly dropping, then a quick redial with the exact same spiel. Just "Olivia from the ME team" and zero details after that. Really hoping my number isn’t being scooped up to be targeted by actual people with this obvious scam stuff. I blocked the number, but obviously they can just ring from a different one, probably anywhere. It’s crazy that the phone providers let these sorts of scams keep going like this.

I got a call from this lady's voice that sounded super real, even saying my name! She was throwing out all sorts of weird energy quotes, but the awkward pauses between her questions totally gave it away as some robot shtick. Honestly, this rubbish needs to be banned asap.

I keep gettin calls every evening around the same time from different phone numbers. The woman on the line was really pushy, claiming she could find me a better deal on my tariff. But when I asked what firm she was with, she wouldn’t say. After a bit, I told her I can manage to look for cheaper plans myself. Quite annoying how persistent they are!

Got a call from a woman named Olivia claiming she was with the energy company. She kept asking for my late husband, even though I've switched the account into my own name. That made me quite wary. I told her I handle the bills now, but she insisted on speaking to him. Honestly, I wasn't sure if it was a genuine person or just some automated voice. Ended up just hanging up.
