2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be a debt collection agency offering to sort out my debts. I told them I’d just become a lottery winner and was swimming in money now. Weirdly, they quickly ended the call! Total spam, without a doubt!2 yearsThey said they were from the “Gas metering division” at E-On Next. When I asked for more info, they claimed it was about a mistake with the postcode. I told them E-On isn’t my provider, and then they suddenly said, “No, I’m with British Gas.” I flat out told them I’d seen the reviews about this number and knew it was some sort of bank scam, and they immediately cut the call.Gas Metering DepartmentE - OnBritish Gas2 yearsThis number rang me claiming to be from Eon, saying there were two supply numbers linked to our address and that our bill would be higher. I asked them to send something in writing to prove they were actually from Eon. They kept saying they were the ones giving me info, not the other way around. They got a bit annoyed, insisting I’d have to pay more. I told them I’d phone Eon directly to check, then I ended the call. When I spoke with Eon, they confirmed they hadn’t called me and that everything was fine with the account. Definitely a scam - watch out for this.Eon2 yearsHe claimed to be from Eon Next, rattled off a load of numbers and told me we’d been overcharged. When I asked where he was ringing from, he said E-on, but the number didn’t match at all. I just hung up straight away.Eon2 yearsGot loads of calls from energy scammers, definitely blocking this number now.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be EDF, I told them we use Corona as our provider. They rang back after about 10 mins, now saying theyre from Corona. Total scam, watch out!EDFCorona2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from EDF, sounded like an Indian lady who was really rude. She insisted she had all my details, but when I asked her to send me an email, she said she couldn’t. Then out of nowhere, she said she had emailed me! My real energy company definitely has my email and I’ve had nothing from this person. She was really pushy and got defensive when I said I couldn’t verify the info she wanted. Proper unpleasant experience.EDF2 yearsSuspicious call sayin they’re from SSE electricity. Total rubbish like always - best to ignore it.2 yearsLoads of fraudsters!!!2 yearsKept ringing non stop, saying he’s from E-on and having trouble sorting out our next business bill. Rang me 5 times right after each other, feels 100% like a scam.2 yearsFRAUD ALERT - Got a call claiming to be from Scottish Power (which isn’t our actual energy provider), using details they pulled from Companies House. They wanted us to email a copy of our latest energy bill due to some supposed 'billing problems'. I tried to get more info from them to see what they really knew, but everything they said was wrong and came from some outdated Companies House records. The same person rang back three more times, each time getting pushier.ALERTScottish PowerCompanies House2 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone pretending to be British Gas, total scam.British Gas2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the utility provider, but it was definitely a scam.Fraudsters2 yearsgot a call from someone claiming to be from our energy company. I wouldn’t share any details and then he rang me up two more times. On the last call he told me to shut up and called me a stupid ####.2 yearsGot a call from a man with an Indian accent claiming to be from EDF, asking for some details. I told him he should already have that info and asked for our account number instead. He stumbled over an excuse, so I told him to just google his phone number and he'd find all the scam warnings left by others!EDF2 yearsThey said they were from our electricity provider Opus Energy, telling me my last bill was way too high for what I normally use and asked me to double-check the supplier number on the bill!! Definitely a scam.Opus Energy2 yearsThey said they were from British Gas, but when I asked for the street name of their office, they couldn’t give me anything...!!British Gas2 yearsGot a caller claiming to be from British Gas ringing me up yesterday, called 3 times. First time I said no thanks, then they rang straight back again, and by the third call I just cut them off. They called again today, I told them I’m not interested and ended the call. Hopefully they take the hint this time!British Gas2 yearsGot a call from someone called "Richard" claiming to be from the meter reading team at British Gas. He said our postcode got mixed up with another one and asked for our meter number. He warned that if I didn’t provide it, we’d get a huge bill. The whole thing felt dodgy and didn’t add up. Definitely not a genuine British Gas call. Properly annoying.RichardBritish Gas2 yearsThey claimed to be from the company we use for energy and mentioned an issue with the meter, but couldn't even say the right supplier's name... felt like they were fishing for details about our bills.2 yearsThey wanted to speak to accounts payable about some invoice from total energy, but I’m not even a customer with them. Definitely a scam.Total Energy2 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she was with British Gas, telling me we’d been billed for someone else’s consumption. She mentioned it had something to do with a bill from March or April but couldn’t provide any invoice reference. She was only willing to share the supply number, and when I asked for the account number, she gave one that didn’t match ours. When I pointed that out, she just said it was part of the confusion. I told her I’d ring my usual contact at British Gas, then she got quite rude. Pretty sure this was a scam.British Gas2 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from British Gas, saying my meter number was wrong and the bill would be sent to the wrong place. I told them I’d ring British Gas myself to check, then they just hung up on me! I get these calls like 3-4 times every month and every time I say I’ll call British Gas, guess what? They just drop the call!British Gas2 yearsOver the past week, our office has been getting constant calls from someone claiming to be from British Gas about a gas bill. When we tell them we don’t use gas, they immediately switch to talking about electricity. They just won’t accept a simple no.British Gas2 yearsA bloke called ‘Steve’ rang me, saying he was from British Gas Lite and needed an invoice number because our MPAN didn’t match the address. I told him British Gas aren’t actually our supplier, but he just brushed it off and said I should be concerned about paying wrong charges. I said I’d check with who we use now, then he just ended the call. Tried ringing the number back, it rang a few times and then nothing.SteveBritish Gas LiteBritish Gas2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with SSE Electric, telling me about prices for my electric contract that was nearly up. They knew my address and when my deal ended, but honestly that info isn't that hard to get. I was a bit suspicious since they rang me out of the blue and refused to provide a number for me to ring back.SSE Electric2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Opus Energy. He said there was a mix up with my meter readings from a neighbouring postcode. He then went on to provide me with loads of details about my account, all of which were spot on! The only thing that was off was the renewal date.Opus Energy2 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming he's with Eon - honestly, make up your minds! Do they really take us all for mugs or what?2 yearsOPUS is a total scam - just block them and tell them to jog on!4 yearsAnnoying phone calls, they asserted they were representatives of O2.O24 yearsGot a call telling me my driving licence was overdue for renewal or something like that.4 yearsIt’s really annoying, ive told them loads of times to take my number off their list but no idea how they even got it in the first place.

I quickly interjected with a firm 'not a chance - I'm not interested', and he promptly hung up. It’s quite clear that it was a dodgy call. I do wonder why these types of individuals can't find themselves a role in more legitimate call centres instead!Carphone Warehouse5 yearsNo one spoke on the other end of the line.5 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Indian accent saying she was ringing from Carphone Warehouse about some "amazing deal with 40% off a new phone". She wanted to know if I was on an iPhone or a Samsung. I told her, surely if she’s really from Carphone Warehouse, she’d already know since I bought my phone from there. She asked me again the same question, and I repeated my point. After she asked once more, I responded in Hindi this time, and she just cut the call straight away.Carphone WarehouseSamsung5 yearsGot a call where there was nothing but silence, then they just ended it after a few secs.

Quite annoying!5 yearsGot a call I didn’t answer, then checked the number and it said it might be a scam.5 yearsGot a call that seemed dodgy.

I ended the call, and to my surprise, they rang me back from a number in Basingstoke, quite aggressively demanding to know why I’d hung up.

Quite the cheek!Carphone WarehouseBasingstoke5 yearsI had the misfortune of receiving a call from some daft individual representing a firm, insisting I stay on the line while they attempted to transfer me to someone else. Honestly, they were the ones who rang me, so I decided enough was enough and hung up.
