Got 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!

They 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.

This 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.

He 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.

Got 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.

FRAUD 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I tried to get more info from them to see what they really knew, but everything they said was wrong and came from some outdated Companies House records.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.

Got 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.

Got 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.

Got 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.

Someone rang saying they were from British Gas, saying my meter number was wrong and the bill would be sent to the wrong place.

They just drop the call!

A 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.
