Got a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from our electricity provider. Told him to buzz off and stop wasting my time. Honestly, I'm sick to death of these dodgy scam calls!

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from Scottish Power. She said my electricity would be disconnected unless I gave her some details, but I told her I needed my account number first. Then she started messing up - the postcode she gave me was completely off and the meter numbers didn’t match anything I have. Definitely something fishy going on.

Got a call from some Indian lady claiming to be from Octopus Energy saying my contract was going to be cancelled. Thing is, I don’t have any contract with them at all. This is a commercial property and the landlord sorts out the electricity bills. She sounded really clueless about who she was even ringing!

This lady claimed she was calling from BT, but before she could go on I told her we don’t use BT. She just hung up mid-sentence. I’ve seen others here talk about electric meter calls too, sounds like the same dodgy trick from some old scammer. Makes me a bit uneasy, honestly.

Got a call saying they were swapping my meters out and that they were from a new supplier, even though I’m still with the same company.

Some bloke threatening to shut my supply down, said he’s from EDF or something. I just told him to get lost, we ain’t with them at all! Total scammer!

Just like loads of other people, they called about needing a meter reading because 'there's a fault with the machine.' Strange thing is, they claimed to be from my real electricity provider, which seemed a bit off to me. Anyway, I kept my guard up.

Foreign fella called, Asked for a meter reading, i said its a smart meter. Call kept breaking up. Then he said my meter is faulty and it needs changing. It was changed last year, then told me to get a pen and paper and write down the details of when they are coming to replace it. I said now you're asking a different thing. I hung up and he called again on a totally different landline. He was asking for me so I hung up

Got a call from someone with a strong accent trying to push an energy deal on me... I wasn’t having it and told them to jog on.

I got a call from someone who spoke English but their accent was hard to place. They asked for my electricity meter reading. I told them straight away that I’d already sent it in using the official website. Still, they kept saying the reading I gave wasn’t right and kept pushing me to give more details. They were quite persistent and honestly a bit annoying. In the end, I just ended the call because I didn’t want to keep going with it.

Same as above. The foreign caller was persistant. They couldn't understand that I was saying we weren't interested. Obviously I had gone off script with them and his head was going to explode.

This bloke with a foreign accent was really persistent, kept asking about who supplies my business electricity and how much I pay. Told him to leave me alone but he just kept fibbing, saying he wasn't selling anything. Proper rude when I didn’t give him the answers he wanted.
