1 monthPurportedly called from United Gas and Power and seemed to know quite a lot of our details already, but kept going on about an "internal error our side with your postcode" and kept ringing back when challenged about why they need more information when it's their error and they know how to fix it.United Gas and Power1 monthGot a call from someone saying they're with Octopus Energy. Their English was really rough, and they said they wanted to check our meter point number so they could fix our bills because it looked like we were paying too much. I asked if they could send the details by email instead, but he said no, it had to be done on the phone. I told him I wasn’t sharing any info like that over the phone and ended the call.Octopus Energy1 monthI had a call that really seemed like a classic phishing attempt. The person on the other end was quite hard to understand, with loads of background noise like they were in some dodgy call centre. They tried to get me to give out personal details claiming it was from Scottish Power. To check if it was legit, I asked if they could send me something official through email or via my secure customer account online. They flat out refused to do it either way, which made me certain it was a scam.Scottish Power1 monthThey were jabbering on about some litigation team and electricity charges we've never heard of. Pretty sure it was a scam, if you ask me.1 monthThese calls are definitely some kind of scam, keep getting them non stop.1 monthScott Gibson really is lovely, helped me out loads, couldn’t have asked for a nicer bloke.Scott Gibson2 monthsGot a call claiming to be from my energy company, said there was some confusion and they needed my meter number to sort it out. They made it sound quite urgent, but I reckon it’s just a way to get your details and start bombarding you with calls and emails. Best not to give out any info, seems fishy to me.2 monthsSomebody saying they were from EDF Energy called and wanted to verify our address.EDF Energy2 monthsHad a couple of calls today, 25/06/26, from someone pretending to be BG or something like that. We don’t actually use BG, but I asked if they knew who our supplier was. I couldn’t remember off the top of my head. They mentioned a bill from our provider for June and asked for the latest meter reading on it. I wasn’t really planning to share anything else, not sure if that info is even on the bill. I definitely didn’t want to give them our account number or confirm the supplier since they should already have that if they were legit. The caller also said there was a mix-up with our postcode and someone else’s account. It all felt a bit off, maybe it’s some sort of scam but not sure what the aim would be.2 monthsThis call was really important to me...2 monthsReally nice bloke, was proper helpful to deal with.2 monthsGot 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.British Gas Lite2 monthsGot 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.E - On Next2 monthsI got a call from someone saying they were from my energy company, telling me my meter readings were being confused with another business. I decided to call my actual supplier straight away, and they told me everything's perfectly fine with my meter and the readings. Definitely a scam trying to pull a fast one.2 monthsSomeone rang me saying they worked for EDF and that there were some technical problems. They wanted our account number to fix the meter info. I didn’t share any details and just ended the call.EDF2 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas. They started by saying my postcode wasn’t right in their system, then they wanted my British Gas account number. Sounded a bit off to me.British Gas2 monthsI just told them to ring me again in a few weeks.2 monthsSomeone rang up saying they were with British Gas and mentioned our account number and meter didn’t match. They wanted to get in touch with someone from our accounts team.British Gas2 monthsHad a call from Eon Gas and Scottish Power the other day. They seemed to know loads about my bill, but said the problem wasn’t with me, it was on their side. Felt a bit dodgy if I’m honest.Eon GasScottish Power2 monthsI 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.British Gas2 monthsGot a call claiming to be from my gas company, saying they needed extra details about my upcoming bill. They were really pushy and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Seemed like a total scam to me.2 monthsThey said they were from EDF, but it was pretty clear they weren’t legit.EDF2 monthsEvery once in a while, my workplace gets calls like this. They keep saying there's some mix up with our BG accounts and ask me to double-check. I’ve told them loads of times that all our meter numbers and addresses are absolutely spot on, yet they won’t quit. They come across as quite pushy and rude. I just end the call quickly. Pretty sure they’re not from BG at all.BG2 monthsThey said they were from my energy company but refused to send any proof by email to confirm it. Super fishy if you ask me.3 monthsGot 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.3 monthsGot 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.Scottish Power3 monthsI 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.3 monthsGot loads of calls from someone saying they're with the energy company. Kept asking to speak to our billing or accounts department. Definitely felt like a scam to me.Kept3 monthsGot 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.Eon3 monthsGot a call from a guy who said he was from NPower, sounded Asian, kept ringing me back.3 monthsGot 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.IndiaBritish Gas ’3 monthsClaims to be from Octopus Energy wanting our electricity meter - seems fishyOctopus Energy3 monthsKeeps ringing up claiming to be Bright Energy - they’ve called me loads of times.Bright Energy3 monthsI 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.
