Its really getting on my nerves these calls my mum keeps getting, shes a pensioner mind you. They claim to be from the electricity company, telling her shes a valued customer and claiming theres somethin wrong with her meter or payments. They even said she had a direct debit set up which she definitely dont, and once she denied that, they just hung up on her. This has to stop soon, its really distressing people. My mum is quite shaken up by these scams.

This morning, 18th Feb, at about 10.50, I got a call from that number. When I picked up, there was a second ringing sound right away, so I just ended the call straight away.

Got a ring from this number claiming to be the electric company offering a 40% discount on my bill. They even knew my postcode and said they’d send a device over. Then they asked for the expiry date on my debit card. Seems like they’re after older folks, but luckily I’m sharp enough to spot this kind of call.

Got a call out of the blue on 11/03/2014 at around 6pm from someone claiming to be with the Electricity Board. I asked which company and he rattled off names like Eon, Norweb, and Scottish. He promised a 40% cut on my energy bill since I’m a pensioner and said he already had my address and postcode. He even mentioned I pay by Direct Debit, which I definitely don’t, so that raised a red flag for me. Seemed obvious he was trying to fish for more info. He wanted to send me some gadget to plug into a socket to track usage, which I know isn’t a reliable way to measure that. But seriously, where on earth did he get my personal details from?

Twice this week, I’ve had these silent phone calls in the afternoons. It’s really annoying.

Had a call from someone claiming to be the electricity company. They actually had my full details - name, address, phone number - and said they wanted to send me a gadget to reduce my electricity bills! Seemed a bit fishy to me.

So annoying how they keep ringing without saying anything. I just check the number on Caller ID and then ignore the call completely.

I got a call from this number and the woman kept saying I was a pensioner. When I told her I wasn’t, she got annoyed and just ended the call.

Got a call on the landline from 0161 408 3123 when I wasn’t home, no voicemail left. Then at 3:40pm on 24th Feb 2014, they rang again saying they were with the Electricity Board. Since I’m switching energy providers for two addresses, I asked which board exactly. They replied the National Electricity Board. I told them that doesn’t exist anymore. Afterwards, the call suddenly dropped. Do you think they’ve got hold of a list of people moving between energy suppliers?

Got an unexpected ring from someone claiming to be with the electricity company on Friday 21st Feb 2014. When I said I wouldn’t share my bank info, the lady just ended the call. It was pretty unnerving since she already had my name, address and phone number.

I got a call from this number, and I found out they've been ringing loads of pensioners too. They were asking for £120 for some kind of electrical gadget that supposedly helps slash energy use by half and cuts down bills.
