9 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were from Utilita. They even used my name and asked for my address to "verify" me. Claimed they needed to come round and swap out my meters, but as far as I know, there’s nothing wrong with them. Didn’t share where I live. I rang up Utilita’s official support and they told me they hadn’t made any calls like that.Utilita11 monthsI got a call from this number earlier but chose not to pick up. Definitely blocking it now. Just yesterday, a person showed up at my place trying to convince me to switch my energy supplier to Utilita and install a Smart meter. After seeing what others have said, I'm planning to cancel the whole thing.2 yearsThis number’s just another lot of rubbish scammers. Best thing is to ignore it completely. And if you do pick up by mistake, keep your details to yourself!2 yearsYou just can't trust anyone ringing you these days. There's so many scammers having a go now.2 yearsJust got a ring from someone claiming to be with Utilita, trying to persuade me to get a Smart Meter. They went through all the supposed advantages, but I told them I wasn’t interested at all. They said if I ever fancied changing my mind, I should get in touch. I told them maybe, but honestly, I won’t bother. We ended the call there. I popped the number into this site to have a look, and yep, all the info was here. Looks like the number's been blocked now.2 yearsI got two calls from this number today (21/08/24) - I picked up both times, but it was nothing but silence on the line! Quite odd, really.2 yearsEvery time I pick up, there's this big delay before anyone talks, which is a dead giveaway. Didn’t even bother sticking around to see what they were after.2 yearsSounds like one of those scam calls with that typical Asian accent again.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be UTILITA. Thing is, I only switched to utilita like 3 minutes ago! They kept saying I had to get a smart meter right now or they’d cut off my supply. They were really aggressive and yelling. I told them I’d report the number to the cops if they didn’t stop. Then they just hung up on me.UTILITA2 yearsGot a call on my home phone from this number, with someone saying they were from Utilita. They said I had to get my meters switched because Utilita don’t install the kind I have anymore. Don’t fall for it, it’s a scam and has nothing to do with Utilita at all.Utilita2 yearsSo, the other day my phone showed a missed call from 01246 488 758, but I chose not to pick up. Then, today a letter popped through from Utilita saying they're going to be my new electric provider soon. Funny thing is, the number that called me doesn't appear anywhere on the paperwork they sent. Makes me wonder if it's some odd side gig or something - although, doing that kind of business by phone seems a bit tricky. Can't be sure though!Utilita2 yearsGot a call earlier but it was dead silent, no clue who was ringing.2 yearsThe caller abruptly disconnected the line after I kept inquiring about their identity and the purpose of their call.2 yearsThey claimed to be from Utilita, but I had my doubts, so I decided to end the call.Utilita2 yearsSo, I got a voicemail yesterday saying something like, "Utilita here, just letting you know about potential savings if you switch your energy provider." I checked the number on here and worked out it’s a total scam. I hadn’t bothered to block it yet and they rang again today. Left an answerphone message that lasted about 3 minutes, weirdly with people chuckling in the background, then someone talking in another language, before going back to the same Utilita spiel. Definitely blocked it now.2 yearsTotal rip-off, watch out!2 yearsGot an annoying phone call today, such a pain!2 yearsGot a call from a number that looked like it was from Chesterfield, UK, but I reckon it was some sort of South African call centre. They were from Utilita Energy, pushing for me to change over to a smart meter. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.ChesterfieldUKUtilita Energy2 yearsUtilita Energy, a call centre based in South Africa, seems to be masquerading with a number from Chesterfield, UK. They’re apparently attempting to persuade people to switch over to a smart meter.Utilita EnergySouth AfricaChesterfieldUK2 yearsUtilita is rolling out new smart meters soon.2 yearsI received a voicemail from someone claiming to be from Utilita.Utilita2 yearsThey called claiming to be from Utilia, saying my meter needed replacing and that I should update my details. When I asked what info they had, they didn’t have my full address. I told them I’d verify it through the app, and he was fine with that. I brought up the meter another time before ending the call.Utilia2 yearsGot a voicemail from someone claiming to be from Utilita Energy.

Seems rather dodgy!Utilita2 yearsI received two phone calls today from someone claiming to be from Utilata. Is this some sort of scam, I wonder?Utilata3 yearsGot a call from Utilita about smart meters, no reason to be concerned at all.Utilita3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from Utilita, saying they needed to check when my smart meter installation was scheduled.

I ended up hanging up straight away.Utilita3 yearsI was expecting a call about my smart meter from the utility company, but it turned out to be some annoying marketing. Definitely blocked.3 yearsEvery single day they were ringing me, saying it was about energy prices, but then telling me they’d be in touch soon about my energy bill. They claimed to be from Utilia. I ended up blocking the number, yet their voicemails kept coming through. By mistake, I called them back from the voicemail and they told me to press 2 if I didn’t want any more calls. Since then, I haven’t heard from them again. I reckon USwitch must have given them my details.5 yearsMy phone showed the call was from a spam number.5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me and it's really quite irritating.
