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.
5 months
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.
