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!

We've been getting over ten calls a day from this electric company scam. I've told them to stop calling and remove me from their list, but they just keep ringing. It's really getting annoying!

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.

A couple days after I put my small business on Google maps using my house address, I got a call from these guys. They claimed I needed to pay commercial fees because my sole trader address is registered at my home. It’s clear they’re just scraping info from Google and trying to rip people off - they’re not connected to any real energy companies. Stay well clear, they’re just out for a quick scam.

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.

HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM... YET. BUT THEY'RE EVERYWHERE, LIKE A PLAGUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, BUT WHO'S GOING TO STEP UP?

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.

These G2K or Good2Know energy "switchers" keep ringing, claiming my energy meter isn’t registered and pushing me to change provider. It seems like they've grabbed our number from our website after some database was updated or a new site got flagged. Our number isn’t listed anywhere else, so they must be scraping the web. Absolute rubbish. I’m getting bombarded with about 5 to 10 calls daily from them and other similar firms.

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!

They've rung me a dozen times already even though I told them no each time. I have zero interest in their energy offers.

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

It's shocking how they keep bugging elderly folks, trying to trick them into signing up for energy deals. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour.

Some bloke named Dan rang me up and wanted me to check out his quotes for a switch, but when I told him I already had one, he got all stroppy and rude. Then he started flipping it on me, saying I wouldn’t get any business being so unfriendly!

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 reckon this number's connected to Action Energy about my electric stuff. They were really aggressive and kept arguing. After that, I got bombarded with around six more calls from different numbers, which was proper annoying.
