11 monthsGot a call about some smart meter update and them needing info to get into my house. Told them to ring me back in an hour, then I phoned my energy supplier. Turns out it was a scam call. They sounded really legit - definitely the slickest attempt I've experienced so far.1 yearGot a call from Calisen Metering, said they were booking me in for a check-up with the energy company. The number seems genuine, so it’s not a scam or anything.Calisen Metering1 yearThis number won’t stop ringing me, I’ve blocked it now but seriously, it should be removed altogether.1 yearGot a call saying they were from Utility Warehouse, trying to book a time to fix our smart meter. Turns out it’s a scam, definitely not from Utility Warehouse. Don’t fall for it!Utility Warehouse1 yearTurns out the company is Calisen Metering, and they're doing smart meter installations for Utility Warehouse.Calisen MeteringUtility Warehouse1 yearI rang this number back since they hadn’t left a message. Turns out it’s from Utility Warehouse. The woman called to say we’ve got to swap out our meter box soon as it’s set to be outdated by 11/06/2025. She was really helpful and sorted an engineer visit to replace the meter for us.Utility Warehouse1 yearI got a call from Utility Warehouse about changing our electric meter because the one we have won’t work after 1st June 2025. I don’t understand why they didn’t leave a voicemail tho? I usually assume it's a scam when they don’t leave a message. But this time it was legit, a real call from the company.Utility Warehouse1 yearDefinetly a scam, didnt trust it at all.1 yearThis one made me chuckle a bit, I use Utility Warehouse and surprisingly I'm still rocking the old analogue meter. Ages ago, they were meant to swap it out for a smart meter, but apparently there weren't any engineers available nearby. Then I got an email saying someone would call to sort out a time for the installation. I've been getting random calls lately and I reckon it might be them. If that's the case, they should really send a heads-up email with the number they’ll call from - then at least I'd pick up!1 yearSo, I rang the number back and it really is a smart meter firm connected with Utility Warehouse. I had a chat with a lovely English woman called Beverly who admitted they get mistaken for scammers quite a lot. I've now sorted to get my old analogue meter swapped out for one of their digital smart meters.Utility WarehouseBeverly1 yearI got a call from a very polite bloke with a strong West African accent, saying he was ringing on behalf of my electricity company about the meters. He actually said the right supplier and even knew my first name, which was a bit concerning. Thing is, I’d already told the company not to contact me at all unless it’s about my bill. So I’m left wondering if they’ve passed my details on without permission or if this was some clever scammer who had real info to make it seem proper.1 yearI got a call from this number on my landline out here in SE London. The phone barely rang, which seemed a bit dodgy to me. I checked it by calling 1471 first, then looked it up online and ended up here. Cheers for sharing the details.South East London1 yearThey mentioned they were from our utility provider and even said the right company name, but it turned out to be a scam.1 yearGot a call from this number but didn’t pick up since it was unfamiliar to me.2 yearsThis number has rung me a few times over the last two days. I just ignored it and decided to block it. After seeing the reviews here, I’m pretty relieved I didn’t pick up.2 yearsNot a single word was said.2 yearsHad no idea who it was so just left it go - glad I did really - just a waste of time!2 yearsI didn’t pick up since I’m pretty sure it was a scam. I’ve got no contacts or business in Manchester at all. OFCOM really ought to do something about these fraudsters.ManchesterOFCOM2 yearsI got a call just now from this number, something to do with Manchester. I’ve no mates or contacts there and normally I just don’t pick up if I don’t recognise the number. Sounds like one of them dodgy energy meter or fault scams, judging by what I’ve read here. Best to block and report it, honestly.Manchester2 yearsTried calling my elderly mate but turns out the number was dodgy, definitely a scam.2 yearsReceived a call on my home phone from a woman claiming to represent "Colt." When I asked her to spell the name, she seemed a bit irritated. She tried to get me to book a slot for changing my electricity meter after confirming my first name. Then she asked for my address, but I told her I’m not comfortable sharing personal details over the phone since I’ve been warned about scams. As soon as I said “scam,” the line went silent.Colt2 yearsGot a call from this number, definitely a scam, so don’t pick up - it’s just dodgy, dodgy, dodgy.2 yearsJust got a call from these lot claiming to be Sam, and I ended up giving them my email and address. Does anyone know what I should do now? Cheers!2 yearsNot a sound from the person on the other side.2 yearsSomebody phoned me claiming they were sent by my energy provider to arrange an engineer visit for a supposed issue with my smart meter. It all sounded quite convincing at first, but I said no and followed up by contacting my energy company directly. They confirmed they hadn’t authorised any calls and everything was fine with the meter. I didn’t manage to get the company’s name she said she represented, but the lady sounded pretty genuine. Definitely a sneaky ploy to get into people’s homes!2 yearsI got a call from a smart meter firm, they were trying to arrange a visit from an engineer to fix my dodgy meter. Seemed like a legit call.2 yearsI did get a legitimate call, but it’s old news now. I’ve been struggling with my Utility Warehouse Smart Meter for ages. In fact, just yesterday I got an apology email from them after I ended up having to complain to the energy ombudsman because it took them forever to fix the problem, plus their estimated gas usage was ridiculously high in the meantime. The call is irrelevant now because I finally got fed up with UW’s runaround and switched to a different energy supplier as soon as I could, a few weeks ago. After dealing with UW for six months, it doesn’t surprise me at all that when people ring them about such calls, UW pretend they’ve got no clue about it. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust Utility Warehouse to tell the time from a digital clock anymore!UW2 yearsThis number rang me earlier. I rang up UW and you’re right, the person I spoke to seemed confused and couldn’t say who they were exactly. Seems like Lowri Beck and Calvin Capital have merged into Calisen. I then phoned them on 0161 240 3352 and they confirmed that the number is theirs and that they did make the call. You can check them out at https://www.calisen.com/ if you want more info. Apparently, UW passed your details over to Calisen (from LB/CC) to sort out smart meter installation. If you’ve had your meter replaced, as we did because ours wasn’t working, that old meter might be the reason they’re trying to get in touch. Just had a quick word with them and they cancelled the request.UWLowri BeckCalvin CapitalCalisenLBCC2 yearsI tried ringing them back and it started telling me the call is being recorded but nobody picked up after that.2 yearsLooks like a scam to me. Someone called saying they were from Caleton Electric, telling me they got a nod from my electricity company, Utility Warehouse, to fit a smart meter at my home. But when I rang Utility Warehouse, they had no clue about any of it. This number has buzzed me maybe four or five times and always leaves a voicemail. Definitely dodgy.Caleton ElectricUtility Warehouse2 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be from a utility company, said it used to be called LOWRI BECK, and that my electricity and gas supplier had requested they get in touch about a problem with my meter. I wasn’t convinced so I delayed and contacted my provider myself. Turns out they had no clue about any issue since my meters are all fine. My advice? Ignore it if you get a call like that!LOWRISubmit Your Own Report (0161 513 2565)
