01256277051 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01256277051 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from callers impersonating UK energy providers such as EDF, E.ON, and others. Callers often display aggressive behaviour, demand sensitive information like account or meter details, and sometimes use multiple rapid calls. Several complain of strong foreign accents causing communication difficulties, with claims that the caller has some genuine-looking account details, yet the calls are attempts to extract personal or business information. Recipients warn of scams involving fake tariff offers and attempts to confirm payment or meter information. The consensus advises blocking the number and exercising caution, as these interactions are aggressive, deceptive, and potentially fraudulent with no legitimate utility connection.

They said they were from the EDF metering team. Was really pushy and even got a bit rude when I refused to share any business details.

Got a call first looking for the Managing Director but they weren’t around so I told them to send an email instead. Then, within just a minute and a half, they rang me back another four times trying to get through to various departments like accounts. They claimed there was some issue with an unpaid energy bill, which sounded like absolute rubbish to me. Definitely a dodgy scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.

Got a call from someone claiming they were with E-on, said there was a problem with the postcode on my meter reading. They tried to get me to verify loads of info, even the meter number. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.

Some bloke named David Wilson rang me claiming he was from the energy company. He had all the details - our supplier’s name, the meter point numbers, even knew we had a different gas provider. He said he was just confirming the invoice address and meter details. I don’t get what they hope to gain from this kind of scam?

Got a couple of calls back to back from someone claiming to be my energy company, but I reckon it was a scammer trying to pull a fast one.

Some woman called me, sounding like she had a thick Indian accent, saying she was from YU Energy. She wanted my MPAN number, claimed there was an issue with my last bill. She was quite pushy and rude about it. When I asked her what for, she just ended the call. Really dodgy company, hiring dodgy people.

Received a call from someone claiming to be with EDF's main office. They were trying to sell me new tariffs that were way more expensive, about 35% higher than what I’d already agreed on. When I explained I’d already signed up for a better deal, the caller actually told me I was lying. Proper cheeky!

The caller had a rather strong Indian accent that made it quite challenging to grasp what they were saying, to be truthful.

Today I got a phone call from a woman, but I couldn’t quite catch what she was saying because her Indian accent was really strong. It was hard to make out any of her words.
