01244710015 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01244710015 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting businesses with calls falsely claiming to be from major energy suppliers like British Gas, EDF, Eon, and Smartest Energy. Callers often ask to speak to the business owner about contract renewals or unpaid bills, but provide inaccurate account details and employ pressure tactics. Many callers use heavy foreign accents and noisy call centres, frequently from the Indian subcontinent, and become aggressive or hang up when challenged. The calls are unsolicited despite Do Not Call registrations and typically attempt to extract personal or business information or push fraudulent contracts. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, not to share information, and to block the number while reporting suspicious contact to relevant authorities and their energy provider.

Got a call from a lady who sounded like she was from a curry background, with a kid screaming non stop behind her. She said she was from British Gas and wanted to talk to the owner about renewing our contract. Classic energy scam, all trying to get you to sign up again. We’re already on the TPS list though.

Somebody with a heavy accent called, wanting to talk to the boss. Since we're on the TPS list, I immediately guessed it was either a scam or some dodgy sales pitch. Told them straight up the boss doesn't bother with calls like this and hung up while they were still rambling. Checked this site afterwards and yep, I was spot on. Blocked the number. Honestly, as long as BT lets people use VOIP and fake their caller ID (like these lot do), we'll keep getting nonstop calls from the Indian subcontinent.

Got a call asking if I was the owner of a business, so I said yes. The person on the other end claimed to be from Eon, saying I'd got some outstanding bills. Thing is, I've never had any dealings with Eon at all. I told them to provide details and dates because they were mistaken. But instead of listening, they started arguing and wouldn't accept that I wasn’t their customer. Really pushy and persistent. Be careful and don’t share any details with people like this!

Got a call from some bloke with a heavy accent trying to flog me electricity renewal. He rattled off the name of my provider, probably from some public database or something. But then he totally messed it up by inventing a random account number and completely bunged up the date when my contract finishes. Couldn't take him seriously after that.

YET ANOTHER ENERGY FRAUD CALL I asked to speak with the business owner - they said NO, and when I asked why, they just replied BECAUSE I SAID SO. They claimed my contract with Smartest Energy was up for renewal, which is odd since I just renewed it back in May 2024. They offered to send over some info, but I told them to hold off as I want to look into this before getting back to them. Blocked the number straight away - they kept ringing and just wasting my time.

Got a call from someone pretending to be my electric company, e-on, saying my contract was about to finish. Thing is, the place they mentioned is just a field with no power connected, so it’s obviously a scam. When I asked them to prove this contract existed, they got rude and even called me a liar! I’ve reported the whole thing to Action Fraud.

Got a call from a guy with a bit of an accent claiming he was from Eon about our energy renewal. He couldn’t tell me the exact date of renewal, even though I’d just checked it in some recent letters. The number looked dodgy straight away, so I told him I was still looking around and would ring Eon myself to sort it out. The call kept cutting out, seemed like they were putting me on hold. I asked if he was with Eon or just from some comparison company, and he insisted he was directly from Eon. I looked up the number afterwards and clearly that's not true. Watch out for this one!

In the end, I had to contact the energy ombudsman just to get the contract cancelled. I’d seriously avoid this company and Utility Bidder altogether.
