Phone number ☎️ 01618187547 👆 is reported as an aggressive and persistent scam operation frequently impersonating major energy suppliers like EDF, British Gas, Scottish Power, Opus, and others. Callers often use threatening language, pressuring recipients to renew contracts imminently or face supply disconnection. They display detailed but misleading knowledge of customer accounts and refuse to provide written confirmation, frequently escalating to verbal abuse. Multiple calls a day, changing numbers, and ignoring requests to stop are common tactics.

Official energy suppliers have confirmed these calls are not affiliated with them, identifying this as fraudulent behaviour intended to mislead and coerce consumers.

2 yearsThe calls are relentless and pushy, going on for weeks and even days without stopping. They honestly feel like harassment.2 yearsWas pretty annoying, kept calling me over and over again about 15 times within just a few minutes. Really pushy and rude on the phone too.2 yearsHad a really unpleasant experience with this bloke. We’ve gone ahead and blocked him again, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he rings from a different number later today. He claimed to be from British Gas - definitely don’t pass him on to anyone in your firm who handles utilities.British Gas2 yearsAnnoying and really impolite!!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with my current provider, pushing their sales hard. They kept ringing daily and were really nasty to my team each time. Later, I got an email with a quote from Utility Savers, which was different from what the caller said. They made a mistake by using that email to convince the person who picked up, clearly showing they weren’t who they said they were.Utility Savers2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be EDF, total scam. Don’t share any info with them, just put the phone down straight away.EDF2 yearsFraudulent call - purported to be from EDF. They hung up, yet continued to ring me repeatedly.EDF2 yearsSome bloke rang me saying he was from Scottish Hydro. When I said I don’t have an account with them, he quickly switched to saying he was from Scottish Power, claiming they’re connected. I knew straight away it was dodgy since they’re totally different companies. Honestly, just hang up on these scam callers straight away.Scottish HydroScottish Power2 yearsGot loads of calls from someone claiming to be Scottish Power, ringing me up multiple times daily. Was a right nuisance so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number now.Power2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Engie but it was clearly some dodgy scam from abroad. When I called them out on it, they got all annoyed and started ringing me non-stop for nearly 10 minutes. Proper pathetic behaviour.Engie2 yearsI had the misfortune of dealing with some foreign chap claiming to be from Engie. When I challenged him and told him to shove off, he spent a good ten minutes repeatedly trying to ring me back. Absolutely ridiculous!Engie2 yearsGot a few calls over the past two days, one claiming to be from SSE Electricity, which is actually who supplies our power. They seemed to know some stuff about our account but felt a bit off, so I checked this site. Then the same number called again right after, this time saying they were from Opus Energy. I've just blocked the number now.SSE ElectricityOpus Energy2 yearsThis number has been ringing me for months now, always saying they’re from Opus. I've explained repeatedly that Opus has confirmed it's a scam and to stop calling. Yet, they called again just a couple of weeks ago.Opus2 yearsJust received a rather unpleasant call from this number. A chap named Martin, purporting to be with Valda Energy, was incredibly discourteous, threatening that our electricity would be shut off unless I had a chat with him. Immediately after hanging up, my phone was bombarded with up to ten additional calls from various numbers, all insisting they were from Valda and reiterating that our power would be disconnected if we didn’t engage about our renewal. Clearly a scam-best to steer clear of this lot!MartinValda EnergyValda2 yearsGot calls from this number quite a few times now. They claim they’re from Smartest Energy and say I have to renew my contract, pushing discounts if I do it straight away. I ended the call once, but then they rang me a couple more times after that, which I ignored. Total scam if you ask me.Smartest Energy2 yearsAvoid this number, it's definitely a scam!!2 yearsI’m quite convinced this isn’t legitimate! They were purporting to be from YU Energy on this occasion. What’s alarming is that they had our account number! They claimed to have some deals to discuss about renewing our contract, but I repeatedly mentioned that we have a broker who manages all that for us. He wouldn’t take no for an answer - insisted his name was Peter, though he had a pronounced Indian accent. One surefire way I can spot a scammer is when they address me as 'ma’am.' Every dodgy call I’ve received has referred to me this way!YU EnergyPeter2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Jason at EDF, and honestly he was really pushy and aggressive. Kept telling me I needed to renew my contract or else I'd be switched to some 'Easy' tariff or something. He’s called me about seven times in just four days and absolutely refuses to accept a no. Proper rude and way too persistent.JasonEDF2 yearsThey kept ringing my workplace and claimed to be from EDF energy. This has been happening quite a few times over the past weeks.2 yearsThis number 0161 8187547 kept ringing me loads, claiming to be from some energy company. Today, they said they were from Crown. Honestly, the bloke on the phone was really rude and pushy.Crown2 yearsThese folks are just awful, keep bothering us non stop. Someone really needs to put an end to this.2 yearsWe've received numerous calls from 01618187547 at my workplace, with someone claiming to be 'Martin' from EON Next. This chap is incredibly unpleasant and has even gone so far as to threaten disconnection of our electricity if we don't adhere to his demands. Despite our repeated requests for him to cease contacting us, 'Martin' just won't take no for an answer and continues to assert that he can switch off our power at will. Do yourself a favour and steer clear of this number!MartinEON Next2 yearsJust like other folks have said, this number pretends to be Octopus Energy. Totally not legit!Octopus Energy2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be EDF, telling me our contract was about to expire - which it definitely isn’t. They kept ringing repeatedly and even threatened to disconnect our supply. Absolutely scammy behaviour, be careful!EDF2 yearsToday I got a call too, and they actually had the business owner's complete name. They said they were calling from SEFE energy or something like that.SEFE2 yearsGot a call about renewing my British Gas electricity, but I’m not due for that yet. They wouldn’t send any info by email, really pushy about it. In the end, I just ended the call and blocked the number.2 yearsGot a call from some guy called Nick Dyer, said he was from EDF. He was trying to chat about prices for my renewal, even though it’s not due for another year. Pretty pushy bloke, really. I just cut the call, but then he phoned me back like 5 minutes later. We’ve already got a complaint going with EDF, so I wasn’t interested, but he came across as quite convincing if I’m honest.Nick DyerEDF2 yearsHad a call from a call centre, rambling on about our electricity supply being disconnected and how we had to sort out a renewal. I promptly ended the conversation.2 yearsI keep getting calls from some call centre going on about my electricity being disconnected or something. It’s just rubbish, so I always just put the phone down.2 yearsKeep away from answering this number! They keep ringing our office and are really nasty and abusive on the phone. Proper harassment, honestly. Avoid at all costs.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be my energy provider telling me I had to renew my electricity deal. When I asked for anything in writing, he dodged it and said he couldn’t send an email because of some ‘data breach’. I just hung up. After that, he rang me back about four more times but I didn’t answer at all.2 yearsI’ve been getting some rather aggressive phone calls claiming to be from Total Energies, insisting that I must secure a new rate NOW, a whole year before my current contract wraps up. Their proposed rates are eye-watering - nearly three times what I’m paying at the moment! They’re threatening me with potentially skyrocketing charges if I don’t sign up by the end of the day, even mentioning some hefty £1,000 fine! No chance of that happening, I say!Total Energies2 yearsGot a ring from someone calling himself 'Adam' - pretty sure that wasn't his real name. He claimed to be from Engie and wanted a chat about our energy deal. When I refused to discuss it, he threatened to cancel our contract so we'd be left without power. I told him quite politely that given how much we were paying, I'd actually be relieved if that happened, and then I just hung up.AdamEngie2 yearsI got a call from a bloke who said he was with British Gas, wanting to chat about my renewal. I told him I’d already got an email with the new prices, but he then asked me to tell him what they were. I told him if he was really from British Gas, he’d already have that info. He said something about the prices being made online so he couldn’t see them. It felt dodgy, so I did a quick search and found the comments here that confirmed my gut feeling. Ended up blocking his number straight away - watch out for this one!British Gas2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas. They said if we dont sign up with them right now, they’ll lock us into another 3 year deal even tho our current contract isn’t ending for nearly a year. We rang British Gas ourselves and they told us that number has nothing to do with their company.British Gas2 yearsJunk call alert - I just received a ring from EDF regarding our account.JunkEDF2 yearsThey claimed to be from EDF, saying we had to renew something - total scam!EDF2 yearsIt appears that this energy firm is touting various services and products, but it's nothing more than a complete ruse.2 yearsGot calls loads of times from someone who claimed they worked for E-On. When I asked them straight if they were an actual employee or just a broker, they dodged the question completely. I kept telling them no, but they just wouldn’t quit, even said I must be losing it when I said my director had already handled the new contract and I wasn’t even certain which company it was through! Proper annoying.E - OnDirector2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with Opus Energy, but it was obviously a scam.Opus EnergySubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 7547)
