Reports on phone number 01615490170
9 monthsI changed my energy supplier not long ago, but I never gave out my previous mobile number anymore. Oddly enough, I've been getting sketchy calls on that old number, about switching to cheaper energy deals. Problem is, I haven’t even used that phone for calls lately - just as a Wi-Fi hotspot at home. Feels like maybe it’s just unlucky timing, but the calls are definitely fishy. I’m gonna report this to Action Fraud because these scammers might trick vulnerable folks, especially elderly people, into something dodgy. It’s not right at all.Action Fraud2 yearsTotally a scam, don't trust this number!2 yearsI've had calls from this number non-stop, always trying to push some "amazing offer". Complete rip-off, stay well clear!2 yearsSounds to me like this is just some call centre ringing.2 yearsGot two calls from this bloke, one right after the other, saying I’m being ripped off on my electricity bills? How on earth does he even know? Definitely some kind of con. First call was from Manchester, next one popped up as Hadley - proper dodgy and quick to switch numbers.ManchesterHadley2 yearsI got a call from this number today after being phoned by different ones yesterday. The caller claimed to be from Bgas and insisted we must switch our supplier right away or their prices would rise starting today. When I rang back today, they kept repeating the same thing but couldn’t explain how Bgas could hike prices when we still have a year left on a fixed price deal. They also didn’t say why they only gave a day’s warning. It felt pretty fishy. The other calls I got came from 0300 numbers and seemed legit, but this one made me double-check.Bgas2 yearsGot ripped off by some dodgy scammer again!2 yearsGot two calls within like 30 minutes from almost the same number, just one digit off. When I picked up, there was this weird pause before anyone spoke, so I just ended the call. Blocked both numbers now.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with an energy company telling me we’re being charged way too much for electricity. When I tried to find out the exact amount we were paying, the only response I got was “too much.” Pretty dodgy if you ask me.2 yearsThey asked if I was the business owner which made me suspicious so I just hung up. Cheers for the warning, I've blocked the number now.TPS2 yearsAs soon as I noticed the number, I got a bad feeling. There was a bit of silence before anyone said anything. When they finally did, I didn’t bother messing about with them like I usually do - just ended the call straight away! Total scam attempt.2 yearsReceived an unsolicited call from a rather brusque woman with an Indian accent. Not very pleasant at all.2 yearsThe moment I picked up, I could tell it was someone from an Indian call centre, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away. Yet, they keep on ringing me again.2 yearsIn about 15 minutes, I got three calls, each from a different number, all telling me about some 'good news' with our energy bills. Every time, the person on the other end sounded like they were from India or somewhere in Asia.2 yearsEvery time I get a call from a Manchester dialling code, I just assume it’s a scam, and sure enough, today was no different. They were pretending to be from an energy company, saying there’d been a complaint about how expensive our energy is. I just told her calmly to take me off whatever list she was using and then ended the call.Manchester2 yearsThis is the fourth time since February that I’ve been called by these guys, each time from a different number. The caller was a polite man with an Asian accent. When I asked, he claimed to be from "UK Energy Service" and mentioned they’re offering quotes to residents nearby. Totally a scam, watch out.UK Energy Service2 yearsYesterday they were calling from London codes, today they’re trying Manchester ones, looks like they’re just guessing numbers honestly.LondonManchester2 yearsDefinitely a scam, don't fall for it.2 yearsGot another call from someone claiming to be based in Manchester, but it sounded like one of those typical scams from the Indian subcontinent.Manchester2 yearsTried to rip me off.2 yearsTried to scam me!2 yearsI couldn't take the call, but I certainly won't be returning it!2 yearsMy caller ID said it was an 020 number but when I checked with 1471 it came up with a 0161 code. Pretty clear it was just another scam call!2 yearsI wasnt able to pick up the call at all so i checked online and saw loads of bad reviews about this number. Ended up blocking it right away. I have to be careful cos i can’t afford to miss important orders by just ignoring calls. It’s a bit annoying though, sometimes the 1471 shows a different number than the one that actually called me. Strange!2 yearsHad a really unpleasant bloke on the phone today, wasn’t happy when I said I wasn’t interested in cutting down my energy costs. What annoyed me even more was that they were faking the number on the caller ID. It showed a Sheffield 0114 code, making me think it was from nearby and maybe a genuine customer, so I picked up. But when I checked the number by dialling 1471, it turned out to be a Manchester 0161 code. Proper sneaky tactic, that.2 yearsThis call was definitely a scam, trying to trick me into giving out my bank info. Totally dodgy.2 yearsDefinitely fake callers!2 yearsI received a call earlier today, and when I didn't pick up, the caller decided to ring me again, hurling some rather vulgar insults like ***** and calling me a ****er. Quite the display, really, what a charming character.2 yearsThis scammer was such a pain to deal with! They kept calling me non-stop, so I blocked the number, only for them to ring from a different one. I asked to speak to the manager and made it crystal clear they needed to take me off their call list. Even then, they tried to argue that I was overpaying, despite me explaining that I’m locked into a contract and can’t just cancel it. Eventually, they promised to take me off. It’s been a few days now, and thankfully no calls yet :))2 yearsI've been getting calls nonstop from this number, and the bloke calling himself Timmy Anderson claims our electricity provider is hiking prices by three times. Definitely feels like a con. He even asked for my driving licence and other ID details, which makes me really wary. The number’s from Manchester and they seemed to know stuff only a utility company would. We used BES for energy last year, so I’m wondering if it’s connected somehow, but you can decide for yourself. We’ve reported it to Action Fraud just to be safe.Timmy AndersonAction FraudManchesterBES2 yearsTotal scam! Received two calls back-to-back and it felt rather suspicious.2 yearsGot two calls back to back but couldn’t answer either.2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from the energy company. They got really mad at me for no reason. Then they rang me again from another number! Watch out for this scam!!!2 yearsGot a call pretending to be from the energy company, asking for my bank info. Seemed like a total scam to me.2 yearsAbsolute scam! They ring me up two or three times daily pretending to be from my energy provider.2 yearsHe called asking for my energy info. I told him we’re all good, thanks. Then there was this awkward quiet so I stayed quiet too. Suddenly he made this big sniff sound, so I did the same back. After another pause, I said I’d look up his number and next thing, he just hung up.2 yearsThe moment we told them the person they wanted wasn’t available, they just cut the call. Didn’t even bother to say who they were or what it was about.2 yearsGot a call earlier asking for the owner of the business. As soon as I told them they weren’t around, they just ended the call. This isn’t the first time we’ve had these energy-related calls either. Bit annoying, really.2 yearsGot a call from a guy who spoke with an Indian accent, very polite too. He asked for the house owner and claimed to be from something like Bionic Energy. Said the national grid had a complaint about me getting overcharged. I told him I have a smart meter and asked about my rates, but he didn’t seem bothered. Reminded me of loads of scam calls I usually get.IndiaBionic Energy2 yearsGot a spam call, blocked them straight away.2 yearsSo I told my cousin who’s 16 that she’s got a really nice voice and then asked, “aren’t you gonna say something about me?” Yeah, it did come off kinda creepy, looking back.2 yearsThey keep calling me about some super cheap electric deal, claiming I could save hundreds every month. I never give them any personal info. Then they tell me their price per kWh, which is actually higher than what I’m currently paying, but they still swear it’ll save me money. Total con, just leave me alone already!3 yearsscam alert!3 yearsGot a call from some Indian bloke, couldn’t make head nor tail of him. He ended up swearing and just cut the call off. Total scam, be careful!India3 yearsThey’re total energy scams. Couldn't stop ringing my phone so I’ve just blocked them now.3 yearsBusiness Energy Direct keeps ringing me non stop! I’m already signed up with another provider but they don’t seem to care. Every week, they bombard my business with calls that just end abruptly when I tell them off. It’s bloody harassment, really annoying.Business Energy Direct3 yearsWhen I told her she needed to speak up, she got really annoyed. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Octopus Energy, and they even used my business name since I run it from home. They started talking about business rates and stuff, but I never gave Octopus my business details. Felt a bit iffy about it, so I just cut the call short.Octopus Energy3 yearsBeen getting calls from this number like 3 times every single day!3 yearsGot a phone call looking for the company boss, but that's not me - I'm just here to handle the small stuff haha. I said the boss wasn't around and asked if I could assist. The bloke went on super quick, almost like he was in a rush or something. From what I caught, it was something about an energy provider. I told him we're not interested in switching energy suppliers at the moment and ended the call. That number’s blocked now!3 yearsPersistent con artist who pesters me incessantly, ringing three to four times a day claiming to be from my energy supplier, yet they haven’t a clue which company they’re representing! Don’t disclose any of your personal information; request they provide any of your own details and watch them struggle!3 yearsGot one of those energy rip-off calls again. They just keep ringing and ringing, never giving up. It's a real headache having to drop everything just to pick up the phone.3 yearsThey kept ringing me like ten times a week so I just blocked the number.3 yearsThey asked to talk to the business owner and then just cut the call.3 yearsAnna rang me, had a bit of trouble with her English. She kept asking stuff about suppliers. Quite an annoying call, really.Anna3 yearsI've been receiving annoying calls that are supposedly related to energy matters.3 yearsI'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.3 yearsThese blokes won't leave me alone! Every time they ring, it's like my internet decides to throw a wobbly and disconnect. It's becoming a right bother, pestering me every single day.3 yearsDodgy operators are at it again, luring you in with promises of bargain rates, only to hit you with a shockingly inflated price in the welcome pack once you're roped in. You're then tied to these chaps for three long years! It's quite appalling that the government doesn’t step in to clamp down on these unscrupulous practices happening right here in the UK. Absolutely outrageous!UK3 yearsExtremely persistent and utterly dismissive of boundaries, this caller bombards me with numerous calls throughout the day. Their attitude leaves much to be desired, it’s truly appalling!3 yearsHe just kept cutting me off and couldn't really speak English properly. I got fed up and ended up hanging up.3 yearsI keep receiving incessant calls from this firm, even after I've clearly expressed my disinterest. It's quite frustrating!3 yearsGot a call about energy and I asked them for their address and postcode but before I could get more info, they just cut me off. Definitely felt like a scam to me.3 yearsI keep getting calls from what sounds like an energy firm saying I’m owed money, but I’ve already told them multiple times (from various numbers) that I’m not interested. They haven’t stopped, ringing me a couple of times a week now, feels like proper harassment.3 yearsThis number has been ringing me non stop for months. It always changes the number it calls from and the person on the line gets really rude when I answer. Proper annoying.3 yearsTried to get a mobile number for someone living here, but I was told they’re away on holiday. Pretty obvious these are just scammers.3 yearsFor a few months now, I've kept getting calls from different numbers with a strong foreign accent, all claiming to be from Business Energy. They insist I've paid too much on my energy bill. It’s been really annoying and feels sketchy. Just a heads up to watch out for these suspicious calls!Business Energy3 yearsToday I got a call on our office phone, and when I mentioned the owner wasn’t around, the bloke went ahead and asked me for my own mobile number.3 yearsToday I got a call on our company’s landline, and when I said the owner wasn’t around, the bloke actually asked for my own mobile number.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming we faked our meter readings and demanding money, total scam.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from an energy company, sounded Indian. When I mentioned that the number is registered with the TPS and asked for their company info so I could report them, she just said sorry and ended the call. Totally looks like a scam to me. I've blocked the number now.Telephone Preference Service3 yearsLooking to step up my monthly contributions towards energy bills.3 yearsSounds like a total scam, they get really annoyed if you don’t hand over your info. Definitely don’t trust a single word from them.3 yearsTotally a scam, no doubt about it.3 yearsThat call was definitely a scam, do not answer!3 yearsReceived a dodgy call about energy services.

Didn’t even get to ask who they were before they started pitching something. Proper annoying!3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be an energy supplier for businesses, saying they could offer cheaper electricity. When I asked how they got my details, they just talked over me and ignored the question. I told them the number came up as suspicious, suggesting it might be a scam. I've worked with energy providers for business before, this lot didn’t seem to know what they were on about. We do run a home-based business but don’t have any utility accounts registered under it. They just hung up on me in the end.UKSubmit Your Own Report (0161 549 0170)
