7 yearsThis guy’s a total scammer, just doing it all by himself. Claimed he’d already arranged my business energy account before, which was a lie, and then tried to trick me into giving personal details to “renew” the contract. According to companies house, Ben Ikin’s the only shareholder, and you can actually find him on Facebook if you look.Ben IkinCompanies HouseFacebook8 yearsJust had a call from some dodgy number with Manchester code. They never even left a voicemail, which made me suspicious straight away. Pretty sure it’s a scam.Manchester8 yearsThis number rang me up pretending they're from Opus Energy, saying I had to sort out my contract with them. They were quite aggressive and intimidating. Thankfully, I’m aware of the rules - energy companies aren’t allowed to ring customers like that now. After checking this site, I found out the callers are actually from some outfit named AED, and it seems loads of others have also been targeted by their scams. Watch out, folks!Opus EnergyAED8 yearsgot a call from some muppet saying they'd ring back every 5 mins unless i gave them my bank info. they said they were from opus energy but we actually use pfp energy! how hard is it to get your facts right? i've blocked the number, and honestly, you should too. already reported it to ofgem.Opus EnergyPFP EnergyOfgem8 yearsi've been getting loads of annoying calls from 0161 2745573 here in manchester. i rang them up to take my details off their list but honestly i doubt it will make much difference, probably still gonna keep getting them lolManchester8 yearsI got a call saying they'd send someone to my job to take my meter off if I didn’t agree to a contract with them. It felt really threatening, especially since my granddaughter's a police officer. After seeing the other reviews, he’s planning to report the whole lot. It’s all been quite upsetting.10 yearsThis is quite suspicious. I really think the police ought to step in, especially since this person keeps pretending to be others. We tried picking up but the caller just ended the call straight away. Sure, having a call blocker is what BTS suggests, but it’s not really enough. They have a duty to do more than just advice "block the number." They should take real responsibility.10 yearsGot a call from a bloke up north wanting to talk to my husband, but I knew right away it was a con since I’m the only one who handles the bills and admin. He claimed it was about our Eon account, so I asked for the password I’d set up with Eon to confirm it was legit - that’s my trick to avoid these scam calls. He had the cheek to say there wasn’t any password! I called him out on it straight away and hung up. What a muppet!JadminE. ON10 yearsI got a call from Active Direct Energy and it felt like a total scam! Watch out, they're definitely not legit!Active Direct Energy10 yearsGot bombarded with calls from an energy company, reckon they called me at least 34 times in one day! They even rang me back from a blocked number and a mobile, and sounded like they were trying to hide who they really were. Every time I asked them which firm they were with, they just mumbled like it was a secret. They claimed to be my energy provider, but when pushed, couldn’t actually say what company they represented. Proper dodgy behaviour.10 yearsMissed a call while I was out and they didn’t bother leaving a message.10 yearsReceived two calls from this number today. The first one ended abruptly as they hung up before I could say a word. The second time, there was a brief chat about placing orders, but they cut the line after just a few moments. I reckon they thought I'd be tempted to ring back, thinking I might snag a deal. Instead, I decided to look up the number and came across this site. Clearly, it’s dodgy - caller: Unknown.10 yearsThe caller kicked off by asking how I was doing, but I cut him off, wanting to find out just who he was. He introduced himself as Charles, which, frankly, didn’t sound quite right to me, and mentioned he was ringing from AEB. He began prattling on about gas and electricity, but I interjected to let him know that I handle those matters at my own convenience, so I wasn’t interested. He then had the cheek to imply that I was afraid to converse with him. I told him not to be so rude, and his tone went south pretty quickly. This made it clear he lacked any sense of courtesy, so I told him he was being rather foolish and needed to take his leave. I then promptly hung up.CharlesAEB10 yearsI received a call from this number, and although the line remained connected, there was complete silence on the other end.10 yearsI received an unsolicited call from an energy firm recently, and the lady on the other end was quite pushy and rather impolite. She even had the audacity to chastise me for supposedly being rude! What a cheek! Does anyone have tips on how I can put an end to these annoying calls once and for all?10 yearsI’ve been receiving these irritating silent calls from 0161 274 5558, and I can’t help but think it's a bit dodgy. They ring up, leaving you in utter silence, which is just baffling. The whole game seems to be designed so you’ll call them back-playing on the familiarity of the number. Once that happens, they’ll claim they’re not cold calling, and then try and pull a fast one by saying you've entered into a contract with them. I suspect it’s some sneaky telecom operation called Splash. Just a word to the wise-stay alert!10 yearsAbsolutely appalling encounter! The individual I spoke with was incredibly discourteous and wouldn’t let me get a word in edgeways. After my third call, where I made it crystal clear that I had no interest in what they were offering, they instead delved into my personal information, which should remain private, given that my new venture is still under wraps. I’m definitely planning to lodge a complaint with Trading Standards. These people are nothing but unprofessional opportunists! - caller: 0161 274 555810 yearsA rather cheerful chap indeed, giving us the same sort of response. Apparently, it seems that colourful language doesn’t truly register as a definitive rejection for them.11 yearsI keep receiving incessant calls on both my home and mobile phones, even after explaining that we've signed a contract with a different provider. One particular chap named Reece was downright rude and full of himself when I spoke to the customer service team. It's really frustrating dealing with this lot-some dodgy outfit from Manchester, it seems.ReeceManchester11 yearsI received a call on my work phone that lasted for about a minute. There was some rustling and muffled chatter in the background, but the person on the line didn’t utter a word. While I was waiting for them to speak, I took the liberty to search the number, only to discover it belonged to a sales operation. Considering it’s registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I’ll be lodging a report against them. Just the other week, I flagged TalkTalk, and it seems they’re now under scrutiny from trading standards-quite amusing! This particular number is linked to Splash Telecom, which appears to be a telecoms broker. It baffles me as to why anyone would opt for a broker rather than deal directly with a reputable company. So, it seems the caller was indeed from Splash Telecom!Telephone Preference ServiceTalkTalkSplash TelecomSubmit Your Own Report (0161 274 5558)
