Got a call from someone claiming to be from British Gas Lite, said there was a problem with my meter readings and wanted to speak to accounts about some invoices. While he was chatting away, I quickly looked up the number and saw it flagged as a scam. Told him straight up I knew he was dodgy, then he just howled abuse at me and ended the call. Proper cheeky scammer.

Got a call from 01516790164 saying they were with E-On Next and kept insisting ‘I’m not selling anything’, but then tried pushing a sale on me! Sounded like it was from some overseas call centre. Proper dodgy.

I got a call from someone claiming to be British Gas, but I noticed their number looked dodgy. They kept insisting they were legit and asked to speak to the person in charge. When I asked for the manager, they hesitated a bit. Then they started asking if I was the account holder for the bills. I told them straight up to stop calling and that I’d be reporting them for fraud.

Got a call from someone saying they were from our electric company. Wouldn't actually say why they were ringing and kept wanting details about our bills and when our contract ended. When I kept asking for more info, they started getting a bit annoyed with me. Pretty sure this was some kind of scam.

Got a call from a number starting with 0131, they said they were from Scottish Power but I’m pretty sure it was a scam. Same group keeps ringing and they definitely aren’t actually Scottish Power.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the meter reading team at our energy supplier. When I mentioned I wasn’t the right person and said I’d have someone else ring him back, he just ended the call. Bit of a cheeky bloke, really rude.

Got two calls the same day from someone saying they were from Eon, which is who supplies our electricity. They wanted us to hand over our MPAN number. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

Got a call from what sounded like some dodgy call centre in India, background noise like they were outside or something. They said they were from British Gas’s meter team, asking about our meter readings. Told them we’d just ring our account manager ourselves, but she said only the meter department could sort it out. Sure, like that’s believable.

I got a call from someone saying they were with Octopus Energy, but after reading other comments, I see they might say they’re from different energy companies too. They wanted me to verify my account and invoice numbers. I told them to send an email instead, but he said no, so I just ended the call.

They told me they were from Octopus, the energy provider we use. But after seeing others saying the same callers are pretending to be other energy firms too, it’s definitely fishy. Seems like a dodgy scam to me.

Got a call from someone claiming they were with British Gas. Sounds like it could be the same bloke from a while ago but this time the number was different. I reckon it’s one of those scams. The first time, they wanted to chat with our accounts team about some invoices due soon. They kept pushing to talk to someone right away, even after I said no one was around to answer.

Got a call from someone claiming to be our energy company, 'Positive Solutions'. They said there's a problem with our bills because the meter readings aren’t adding up right.
