I’m absolutely fed up with these chaps ringing up my mother, who’s a pensioner by the way. They claim to be representatives from the Electricity provider, insisting that she's a valued customer and that there's a meter issue, or some nonsense like that. The truth is, she pays through direct debit, which is simply not the case! The moment she pushed back, they hung up without a second thought. This sort of thing has got to be curtailed immediately-it’s causing real distress to vulnerable folks. My mum is utterly beside herself because of these calls!

I received a call from the number mentioned at approximately 10:50 AM on the 18th of February. As soon as I picked up, I could hear the sound of another incoming call ringing through, so I decided to end the call.

I received a call from a number claiming to be the electricity company, offering me a 40% discount on my energy bill. They even knew my postcode! They mentioned sending out a device and asked for the expiry date on my debit card. It seems they’re preying on older folks. Thankfully, I’m wise to these sorts of scams!

I received a call from this number, and the individual on the other end claimed to represent the Telephone Preference Service. They assured me that they could put an end to all those annoying unsolicited calls.

I received an unexpected call today at 6 PM, 11th March 2014, from someone claiming to represent the Electricity Board. Curious, I probed him with, "Which one, exactly?" To which he replied with names like Eon, Norweb, and Scottish. He went on to inform me that, as a pensioner, I was entitled to a whopping 40% discount on my energy bill. He even mentioned my address and postcode, which rattled my cage a bit. He claimed to know that I paid my electric bills by Direct Debit, but that's simply not true, so I couldn't help but think he was trying to extract more personal details from me. He also said he’d send me a gadget to plug into my socket to track my usage, though I know that would be highly inaccurate. I couldn't help but wonder - where on earth did he obtain my information?

I've received two rather eerie silent calls this week, both occurring in the afternoons.

Received a rather peculiar phone call today from someone claiming to be from the 'electricity board'. Strangely enough, this chap seemed to have my name, address, and phone number at his fingertips. He was trying to convince me to let him send over a gadget that he said would help slash my electricity bills! Quite the audacious approach, if you ask me!

I've been rather frustrated with the incessant silent calls I've been receiving. I’d highly recommend using Caller ID to spot these annoyances and just ignore them altogether.

Received a call from this number today. The caller was adamant that I was a senior citizen, despite me clarifying that I wasn't. She seemed rather put out and promptly ended the call.

I received a call from the landline number 0161 408 3123 while I was out and, curiously, they didn’t leave any voicemail. Then, later at 3:40 PM on 24 February 2014, they called again, claiming to be from the Electricity Board. Given that I'm currently switching suppliers for two properties, I asked which board they were representing. Their response was 'National Electricity Board'. I informed them that such a board doesn’t exist anymore. Suddenly, the call dropped. Is there anyone out there who knows if there’s a list of customers who are in the process of switching energy providers?

I got a rather dodgy call out of the blue from someone claiming to be with the 'electricity authority' on Friday, 21st February 2014. When I wouldn’t surrender my banking information, the caller abruptly ended the conversation. It’s quite unsettling, to say the least, considering they already had my full name, address, and phone number.

I received a call from this number, and it seems they’ve been reaching out to other retirees as well, trying to charge a fee of £120 for some sort of energy-saving gadget that supposedly slashes costs by up to 50%. Quite dubious, if you ask me!
