I picked up and all I got was a beep, then nothing else. Judging from the other comments on this number, it seems like it's probably a scam.

this person called saying they was from the meter services part and needed to check my electric meter reading. i asked what company they actually worked for and they told me it was "YU Energy" which is indeed who we use. I told them i usually send readings online, but they said our usage was unusually high and they wanted to come look at it. i just ended the call there.

I got a call from someone claiming to be British Gas about a meter reading. As soon as I told them I’m not a British Gas customer, they just ended the call and said they’d look into it and get back to me. Pretty odd behaviour!

Got a call from someone claiming to be YU Energy, saying my meter reading was too high and they needed to swap it out. They asked me to send a picture of the meter. As soon as I said I've already got 3 meter replacements scheduled this month, they just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone wanting my meter reading. I said I’ve got a smart meter so it’s automatic but he kept pushing for the reading anyway. When I asked which office he was ringing from, he said British Gas but wouldn’t say where exactly. So I told him I wasn’t giving out my meter details if he couldn’t say his location. Then he just cut the call off.
