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 yearsGot two calls from this number today. The first time they just cut off as soon as I answered. The second time, they started talking about placing orders, but then went quiet and ended the call after a few seconds. Looks like they were trying to lure me into calling back, maybe thinking I’d want to order something. Instead, I looked them up online and came across this site. Definitely seems like a scam to me - caller: Unknown.10 yearsThe guy began by asking me how I was doing, but I quickly asked who he was. He introduced himself as Charles, which honestly sounded like the worst fake name I’ve heard, from some place called AEB. Then he rambled on about gas and electricity, but I cut him off, saying I handle all of that myself, so I wasn’t interested. He then accused me of being scared to talk to him, which I thought was pretty cheeky. I told him not to be so rude, and that’s when he started getting all aggressive. It was obvious he had zero social skills, so I told him to jog on and hung up the phone.CharlesAEB10 yearsI answered the call but no one said a word, they just kept the line open.10 yearsI got a call from some energy firm, and the woman on the line was really pushy and quite rude. I told her not to be cheeky, and she snapped back at me! How do I put a stop to these annoying calls?10 yearsWATCH OUT FOR THOSE SILENT CALLS FROM (0161 274 5558) - IT'S A TRICK. THEY GIVE YOU A RING BUT SAY NOTHING. THE PLAN IS TO GET YOU TO CALL THEM BACK BECAUSE THE NUMBER LOOKS FAMILIAR. ONCE YOU DO, THEY CLAIM YOU'VE AGREED TO SOMETHING AND TRY TO GET A CONTRACT OUT OF YOU. I HEARD IT'S A TELECOM FIRM CALLED SPLASH. STAY SAFE AND DON'T FALL FOR IT! - caller: 0161 874 555811 yearsAbsolutely terrible! They were really rude and kept interrupting me. I got calls from this number three times, and each time I clearly said I’m not interested. Then they actually dug up info about my new company, which isn’t public yet! That’s a serious invasion of privacy. I’m definitely reporting them to trading standards - what a bunch of unprofessional muppets! Number was 0161 274 5558 if anyone wants to keep an eye out.11 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 yearsWe keep getting calls daily on both the mobile and our landline even after telling them we’re already signed up with another provider. The bloke called Reece was really rude and proper cheeky to our staff who answered. Honestly, some dodgy company from Manchester.ReeceManchester11 yearsI got a call on my work phone, no one said a word for about a minute, but you could hear some faint rustling and chatting in the background. While the line was silent, I looked up the number and it turned out to be a sales pitch. Since I’m on the TPS, I’m definitely reporting this. Funny enough, I reported Talk Talk just last week and now they’re under investigation by trading standards, so fingers crossed this goes somewhere too. When I checked the number, it showed up as Splash Telecom, which I reckon is a telecom broker. Honestly, I don’t get why anyone would bother going through a broker instead of directly contacting a proper provider! - caller ID: Splash Telecom, supposedly.Telephone Preference ServiceTalkTalkSplash TelecomSubmit Your Own Report (0161 274 5558)
