I got in touch with the real company and found out their number's been cloned by scammers. They're working hard to fix the problem quickly. They don't make cold calls or sell gas and electricity - they're a proper construction consultancy. I reported the issue to Ofgem and then blocked the number since I have no dealings with them. Fingers crossed they sort it out soon, seems like they're on top of it.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from the UK Energy Dept, saying I'd paid too much on my electric bill and they needed my bank info to sort it out. But the email they used was a dodgy gmail one. Felt totally fishy to me!

Got some imbeciles on the phone saying they’d switch off our power just because my daughter refused to hand over my number. Definitely gonna report these muppets to the right people.

Got calls from someone saying they worked for a government agency checking on energy companies charging too much, claiming our meter had faults. Felt like they were just angling to get a smart meter put in. Quite pushy if you ask me.

They called me up a couple times, saying they were from the National Grid and offering to help us get money back from our electricity company because supposedly there was some sort of complaint about how much energy we use. I asked them to send it all in writing. Honestly, what government office operates on a Saturday anyway?!

I’ve gotten about five calls from them now, all saying there’s some sort of complaint against Scottish Power. Thing is, I’ve never actually made any complaint about them at all. Pretty confusing!

Got a call from a UK number but turned out to be some foreign call centre. Total waste of time, really annoying.
