They kept ringing me non stop, got really annoyed and finally told them to bugger off.

I don’t get how Scottish Power can be giving out personal info to dodgy callers once you end your contract. There’s no way these scammy people should have your details! Just block them and make sure you report it to the ICO.

Got a call from someone trying to persuade us to switch back to Scottish Power, even though we left them last year. The caller claimed they could offer a bargain deal plus £100 off our bills. They asked when our contract ended and mentioned if it was within 49 days, there’d be no exit fee. I told him he should know the date since he had the info, and he said it was 29th Feb. I looked up our details during the call and their date was completely wrong by a couple of months!

I'm a bit iffy about this lot. The bloke told my partner he had 60 days to change energy providers without any fees, but it's actually 49 days, so not quite right.

I switched my energy provider from Octopus to Scottish Power, and now after hearing others had similar calls, I reckon this might be one of those scam calls. Seems like a common thing these days.

This number has been calling me about 7 or 8 times in the past few days, but thankfully my phone’s blocking them without me having to pick up. I actually cancelled my Scottish Power account a week ago, so it's a bit frustrating if it’s them still trying to get in touch. When I was a customer, I made sure they only contacted me by email, so they really shouldn’t be ringing or sharing my number around.

I got a call from a bloke named Neil who claimed he was ringing on behalf of Scottish Power. He seemed to know a few bits about me being with them and that I was thinking of switching suppliers. He offered me £100 to stick with Scottish Power instead of moving elsewhere. Sounded quite pleasant and mentioned his grandparents were from the same part of Scotland as me. Didn’t push too hard, just seemed like he was trying to make a good connection.

Looks like this number might be connected to Scottish Power or a scam pretending to be them, judging by what others have said. I switched over to Octopus Energy not long ago and they've called me about six times in a few days, all ignored. Honestly, just stop answering!

I just ended my contract with Scottish Power after being contacted by this number. They said they were from SP and promised a better offer, but turns out they’re not reliable at all. Wouldn’t trust them if I were you.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with Scottish Power. She said she wanted to chat about closing our account but needed to check our details first. I told her the account was already closed so there was nothing to talk about, and I didn’t give her any info. Then she said she had to end the call. Feels like they’re pushing hard to keep customers rather than actually closing accounts.

Got a voicemail where someone with no Kilmarnock accent was trying to figure out what sort of call it was, then just said "2 secs" and cut off. If this is a real company, they seriously need to train their team better. Definitely going on my block list.

I received a rather peculiar phone call today. The lady on the other end inquired if I had applied for a loan that required repayment to the government. She mentioned that she couldn't assist with switching my gas or electricity supply due to my prepayment smart meters. Interestingly enough, she had a Scottish accent and seemed to lose patience quite quickly. As soon as we hit a snag regarding the energy efficiency loan, she abruptly hung up on me. Quite the experience, I must say!

Absolutely spot on - this reeks of a scam, pretending to represent Scottish Power. Having switched to Octopus myself, I'm now inundated with calls like these. It's a doddle to block the numbers, but it's quite troubling that Scottish Power appears to have leaked some of my personal information. What more can you anticipate from a company that's been rated a dismal '15 out of 16' for customer service by Which? Plus, it's concerning knowing they're fully owned by a foreign energy giant, Iberdrola.

Got two calls from this number on Friday but they never left a voicemail. I’ve also had calls from “them” showing up as South Shields on a different phone. Honestly, OfCom really needs to crack down on these caller ID scams. These firms shouldn’t be allowed to use numbers from loads of different places. I’m relieved I’m no longer with SP.

Received a call purporting to be from Scottish Power. I’ve recently made the switch to Octopus and the caller insisted they needed to inform me about what to anticipate moving forward. To be honest, the changes have already taken place! What baffled me was their insistence on me providing personal details to confirm my identity, yet they wouldn’t offer any verification of their own. I find this approach highly unprofessional - regardless of whether the call was legitimate or not. Just a word of advice: never engage with unknown callers unless they can prove who they are upfront.
