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. Businesses and individuals are strongly advised to hang up immediately, avoid sharing any personal information, and block the numbers. 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 yearsDodgy call saying they were EDF, but as soon as I questioned them, they just cut me off. After that, they kept ringing me over and over. Total scam.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 yearsThis guy, claiming he was with Engie, kept ringing me non-stop after I told him to stop wasting my time. I could tell he wasn’t local and when I finally called his bluff, he spent about ten minutes trying to get me back on the phone. Such a pain!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 yearsReceived a call from this number where a bloke named Martin said he was from Valda Energy. He was really pushy and said they'd cut off our electricity if I didn't talk to him. Once I ended the call, I got loads of calls from other numbers all saying the same thing about cutting the electric if I didn’t sort the renewal. Definitely looks like a scam, watch out!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 yearsTotally a scam! This time they pretended to be from YU Energy. Scary thing is, they even knew our account number. They tried to push some deals about renewing our contract but I kept saying we have a broker that handles all that stuff. The bloke was super pushy, said his name was Peter but had a thick Indian accent. One dead giveaway for me is when they call me "maam" - all dodgy calls do that.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 had this number, 01618187547, ringing our workplace loads of times, with a bloke who says his name is Martin and claims he's from EON Next. Honestly, he's proper cheeky and downright rude. He keeps threatening to switch off our electricity if we don't do what he says. We've told him more than once to bugger off, but this 'Martin' guy just won't quit, still saying he'll cut the power. Would definitely stay away from that 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 yearsGot a call from some call centre bloke rambling on about needing to sort out our electricity or it’ll get cut off. Just ended up hanging up on them.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 yearsSome caller claiming to be from Total Energies tried to pressure me into agreeing to a new rate a whole year before my current deal ends. Their prices were three times what I’m already paying! They said if I didn’t sign up straight away, I might face higher charges plus a £1,000 fine. No way am I falling for that!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 Gas3 yearsGot a call earlier, some lot from EDF trying to chat about our contact details, but sounded like spam to me.JunkEDF3 yearsThey claimed to be from EDF, saying we had to renew something - total scam!EDF3 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from an energy company pushing their products and services, but it turned out to be a total scam. Avoid them!3 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 - OnDirector3 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)
