Fed up with these lot constantly ringing me, they won’t take my info off their marketing lists (despite their rubbish stories about being on some national register because your meter isn’t listed, so you can’t opt out). They’re just middlemen trying to get you to agree to an energy deal. Definitely report them to the ICO for nuisance calls and hopefully they’ll get slapped with a fine! Numbers I’ve had calls from: 01253 609887, 809215 and 978058. All blocked now!

Absolutely ridiculous! We're bombarded with over ten calls a day from these dodgy characters. We've repeatedly requested to be removed from their list, yet nothing seems to change. It's quite infuriating!

Total scam. They claimed they heard there was a tenancy change, which is mad since I've been at the same place for like 3 years. Told them to take me off their list but still getting about 4 calls every day.

It seems these folks are using Google to fish for information on newly set-up businesses showing up on Google Maps. Just a couple of days after I registered my company at my residential address, I received a call from them. They tried to convince me that I was obliged to pay commercial rates for my home, simply because I’ve got my sole trader business registered there. I strongly advise steering clear of these chancers; they’re nothing more than opportunistic hunters and are in no way affiliated with the legitimate energy providers.

Got a call saying something about switching tenancy and utilities, which is weird cause I work on the go all the time. Blocked the number straight away. The woman was surprisingly impolite when I called it out as a scam, then she had the nerve to say I was the rude one!

Gabriella was really pushy and raised her voice when I told her I wasn’t interested in discussing any ‘tenancy or energy supply changes’. She even said that they would keep calling no matter what I said and that it’s perfectly legal. We’ll see about that. Honestly, I have my doubts they’re genuine energy brokers. Feels a bit dodgy like a scam.

They called again today around 11pm, could hear an office in the background. Then they phoned me back and tried to leave a voicemail but took it down. This has been happening all week now. Nice to see they’re just wasting money on phone charges.

Getting constant calls from G2K or Good2Know energy people, saying my ‘energy meter isn’t registered’ and pushing me to change supplier. They usually ring once some list has been refreshed or maybe a new business site has popped up - our phone’s only on our website, so they must be scraping details from there. Absolute rubbish really. I’m getting bombarded with about 5 to 10 calls daily from these lot and others like them.

I've been receiving numerous calls from G2K, or Good2Know energy "advisers". They claim that my "energy meter isn't registered" and are trying to persuade me to change my supplier. It’s likely these calls are triggered when someone updates a list or a website mentioning my number, which is only accessible via my site. It’s a right load of nonsense! I’m inundated with about 5 to 10 of these calls each day from this and similar firms. It's beyond irritating!

Got a call from Dan - honestly, never met someone so rude and abrupt before! Totally unacceptable. I called back to complain and got Gabriella on the line, I explained I wanted to speak to someone about Dan, and she connected me straight back to him. He was even worse the second time. So aggressive and disrespectful! Proper awful. Stay clear!

Save yourself the hassle and dont answer this number. They come off really pushy and disrespectful. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, and they talk to you so awful you’ll just feel mad and frustrated. Just end the call straight away!

Someone called Dan from 02034096779 and 01253 978 886 kept ringing about 15 times in just a couple mins. When we finally answered, he started shouting at us, saying we're rude because we hadn’t picked up his calls earlier (we told him to email since the business owner wasn’t free). Then he threatened to leave loads of nasty reviews about us online. Proper rude behaviour.

This bloke named 'Billy' keeps buzzing me. Super pushy with his selling, feels really shady, def not someone I'd want to deal with. He just wouldn’t quit even after I said no, so I had to block him. See ya later Billy!

I just rang Citizens Advice on 0345 404 0506 to report this phone number. Dan was really rude to me, calling me names and getting very hostile when I didn’t agree with his rubbish about my energy usage. PLEASE if this number calls you and you have similar problems, report it to the number I’ve mentioned, as it’s being passed on to trading standards. The more complaints they get, the better chance we have of stopping them.

Proper rude and loud on the phone. I called the firm Dan said he works for and gave them this number, but they had no clue who he was. This bloke’s up to no good, definitely a scammer. DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO WITH HIM. 01254 470953

This is the 27th time I've had a call from this number about changing tenancy on a property move. They rang me again at 8:30 this morning and just won’t quit. They said they were representing energy firms and needed me to get “signed up” for gas and electricity.
9 years
So, we’re in the middle of moving, right? Got a call about the electricity and whatnot. They kinda made it sound like they were from our energy company, talking about switching everything over, said they were working for them. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.

I suspect this number is associated with Action Energy concerning my electricity supply. They were extremely insistent and confrontational in their approach. To add to my frustration, they subsequently bombarded me with roughly six additional calls from various other numbers.
