Phone number ☎️ 01422525609 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated scam involving callers pretending to be from energy companies like Octopus Energy, EDF, British Gas and others. They often claim there's an issue with meters, offer refunds, or press for meter readings, sometimes becoming aggressive if refused. Many callers speak with strong foreign accents and can be hard to understand. They try to extract personal details including bank info, addresses and email, often using spoofed numbers or fake emails bearing official logos. Several victims noted multiple calls daily, with some scammers knowing specifics about accounts to seem convincing. Most users labeled the calls as spam and advised caution, as genuine energy providers do not behave like this. The overall experience is frustrating, untrustworthy and regarded as a serious phishing risk.

The call showed up flagged as potential spam, so I ignored it. Later on, they left a message, but when I played it back, all I could hear was what seemed like someone softly breathing or maybe a quiet cat purring in the background. Pretty weird, right? Anyway, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Somebody rang claiming to be from British Gas asking for a meter reading. I just hung up straight away, definitely a dodgy call.

Got a call from a landline supposedly linked to Halifax today, asking for a meter reading. The person on the other end had an Asian accent, with background sounds like they were either outside or in a vehicle. I told them my number is on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), and they immediately hung up. Seems pretty dodgy to me, probably a scam.

So, today I got a call about my electricity meter reading because apparently my smart Meyer's signal was glitching. I told the caller that I’d only just been billed. She insisted the bill was only an estimate. I told her the bill never mentioned that and suspected it was a scam. She denied this. I ended the call and rang my supplier, who confirmed my meter was fine and that the bill was accurate, not an estimate.

Just like the usual calls, some lady with an Asian accent was on the line, and the background noise was awful. She claimed to be ringing from the "meter reading team of our energy provider," but every time I asked which energy company I was with, she just said the connection was poor.

Typical utility scam call today. A woman, sounding Asian, said she was from the 'meter reading team'. I told her I get lots of these dodgy calls and she was just wasting both our time. She then asked if I had any proof of it being a scam! She mentioned our energy provider’s name, which isn’t common but easy enough to find online. I said I’d look up her number, found out it’s often linked to scams, and ended the call. They’re just fishing for personal details to try and hack accounts, so watch out for these types!

Keeps getting calls from someone with an Indian accent trying to scam me. Really annoying! Tried to ignore it but they keep ringing.

Got a call from this number first, it looked like a Halifax number. Then a second call came through from a London number. Both times, they claimed to be from Octopus Energy, saying we’d been charged too much and needed a new meter installed. They also wanted a meter reading. We never gave them any info. The second time they phoned, they tried to sort out a new meter and even asked for payment details. Something felt off, so we just blocked them straight away.

Had a call from some bloke claiming he worked for Scottish Power, but it was a total con. Lucky for me, I’m already with EDF so I wasn’t fooled for a second. Proper scam if you ask me!

Got a really hard to understand guy on the phone claiming to work for EDF. I quickly ended the call but he rang right back, going on about needing to check the meter reading. When I told him I’d handle it myself online and didn’t want to talk further, he didn’t sound too pleased. It’s only the 10th of December and these scam calls are already flooding in - I’ve had five other ones this morning and it’s only half past ten! Proper annoying 😡

Got a call today just before 1pm, they were asking for our latest meter readings and said we might need a new one, even mentioned a refund. It all sounded quite official, but they didn’t actually give any real info or details. Watch out, I think they’re planning to ring again, probably to fish for our bank info.

They were totally fake. The bloke claimed he was calling from E.ON Next to get a meter reading, but I wasn’t having any of it and told him to jog on!

I got a call from an Asian lady who said she was with our energy company. She was pretty pushy, telling us our meter had some issues. They asked for our best email to send something over, and then we got an email that said they needed a picture of the meter. Although the email had the energy supplier's logo, it just didn’t feel quite right and made me suspicious. So, I decided to check the number and it turned out to be linked to scammers. When she rang again the following morning, I told her I’d be getting in touch with our actual provider, and she suddenly got quiet and hung up.

Got a call earlier from a blocked number showing EE, had a quick look here and turns out it’s just some spam.

Got a call from someone claiming to be EDF Energy about my smart meter not sending readings and that I supposedly needed a replacement. They asked for a meter reading and mentioned I was owed a refund. After that, they started asking for my bank details, full address, and email. I told them they should already have all that info on file, but the caller insisted they needed to verify everything, even though they said they already had my sort code and email. I refused to give any more details, and they said they’d email me instead. Sounds a bit dodgy, likely a phishing attempt.

Some woman with an Asian accent called claiming she was from the 'Meter Reading Department.' I asked her which company she was with, and she gave me a name I'd never come across before. Definitely sounds like a scam to me!

Definitely a con. Someone called pretending to be from YU Energy regarding a new meter they'd supposedly fitted. They even quoted my MPAN number! I got in touch with YU Energy directly, and they told me it was a total scam. Also, the number that called was a WhatsApp one: 07428524510

I got in touch with a pro energy advisor who helped me find better deals for my company’s gas and electricity. I’d been asking my old supplier for a smart meter for ages, like two years, but they never gave me one. This consultant sorted it out and managed to get me a smart meter in the end.
