7 monthsThat number above is definitely a scam text! They messaged me saying they tried to call (text only, no actual call) from EDF wanting to book a time to fix my smart meter. Don’t trust it - someone else already flagged 03308088910 here as a scam or spam. They also tell you to ring or email [email protected] but do NOT call that number or open any emails from that address. My smart meters are fine anyway, no issues at all!EDF9 monthsBeware of scams about EDF smart meters. Just don’t reply.10 monthsTotally a SCAM. I got a missed call from this number and then a text saying, “Hi, we tried reaching you for EDF to book a slot to sort out a problem with your Smart meter. Please ring us back on [email protected] or just reply to this text.” I then logged into my EDF account and, guess what, both smart meters show the status as “ Everything’s fine! “. From what I see, impass are definitely scammers trying to pull a fast one.EDF11 monthsGot a message saying it’s from mpaas working with edf about fixing a smart meter problem. Seems a bit dodgy to me.11 monthsKept getting messages about some problem with my EDF smart meter. Checked their site and it says everything’s normal. Feels a bit dodgy to me. Went ahead and blocked the number.11 monthsGot a text saying it was from EDF about a smart meter, but I’m not even their customer. This is like the third or fourth different number I’ve had the same message from. Proper annoying.EDF11 monthsGot a weird message about an EDF smart meter, happy I looked it up here first.1 yearThis number popped up and my phone immediately marked it as dodgy, so I just blocked it. After that, I received a message saying something about them calling for EDF to sort out a problem with my smart meter... quite fishy if you ask me!EDF1 yearGot a message from this number saying they were from EDF about an issue with my smart meter. The strange thing is, I'd never had a call from them at all, and my smart meter seems perfectly alright. So yeah, I just blocked it.EDF1 yearTotally a pointless waste of my time.1 yearGot a call from this number apologising for missing a scheduled appointment. When they tried to set up another one, we said no thanks. They also asked for my husband’s full name, which seemed dodgy. We hung up and blocked them straight away. Watch out, this feels like a scam call!1 yearGot a call saying it was MPASS about some issue with my smart meter and they said they were connected to EDF. They didn’t turn up as promised and when we tried to ring back, the number they gave seemed dodgy and others have reported it as a scam too. The phone number they initially called from, the one mentioned earlier here, definitely isn’t EDF or MPASS. Just be careful with these types of calls!MPASSEDF1 yearI got a call from 0161 850 7564 supposedly from EDF about a problem with my Smart Meter. As I didn’t pick up, they left a voicemail telling me to ring back on 03308088910. Seeing what others have said about these numbers, I’ve just blocked them both and won’t be calling back.EDF1 yearWhat a load of people with nothing better to do. Just sitting in front of their screens wasting time with silly games. Honestly, they need to find something worthwhile to keep busy with.1 yearOn the 18th of February 2025, I got a text from this number claiming they were from EDF trying to sort out a problem with my smart meter, and they asked me to ring them back on 0330 808 8910. Turns out, this is a dodgy number pretending to be MPASS. Funny thing is, I’d already contacted EDF on the 5th after getting a suspicious call from that exact same number, and they told me everything was fine with my meter. Also, I don't even have a smart meter installed! So, I’ve gone ahead and blocked both numbers and reported them to 7726, the team dealing with scams.EDF1 yearI’ve never had a smart meter but these lot won’t stop ringing me, sometimes twice a day and sending texts as well. I got in touch with EDF and they said my gas meter is working perfectly. It’s really annoying!EDF1 yearI got a call from someone saying EDF sent them to check my Smart Meter because it was faulty. But that’s not true at all. I rang EDF myself and they told me there’s nothing wrong with the meter!EDF2 yearsGot a call from someone who claimed there was an issue with my smart meter, but the thing is, I don't even have one installed! Really threw me off.2 yearsI got a voicemail about checking my smart meter but didn’t pick up. They asked me to arrange an appointment but I never heard back from them. Seems dodgy, like a scam to me.2 yearsI'm pretty sure this is a scam, my smart meter's working perfectly fine. Like, 95% sure on that.2 yearsI wouldn't trust those green messages blindly, they might be a trick. It's best to log into your EDF online account to see if your smart meter has any issues. Cold calls should always be treated with suspicion. If you reckon the call was a scam, you can text 7726 to report it. Make sure to follow any steps they send back to confirm your report.

I rang up EDF just to be sure, and they said it was legit - something was going on with the gas smart meter that needed fixing.EDF2 yearsJust got a text claiming to be from EDF Energy, but it’s a total scam. Make sure you don’t reply, it’s just some dodgy company trying to trick you. Stay safe!EDF2 yearsI received a call last week claiming to be from EDF, and they were rather pushy about scheduling an appointment over the phone. When I suggested they could just email me instead, they didn’t seem too keen on the idea. Today, I got a text featuring what looks like a proper freephone number. Honestly, it all feels a bit suspect to me!EDF2 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier today. It was someone from Mpaas saying they needed to shift my smart meter repair appointment from tomorrow to Friday. I’ve been waiting for ages, like more than 2 years, to get this sorted. I double-checked the original schedule with EDF and it was legit. Honestly, not shocked they’re changing things since they’re doing work at a flats block just over the river from where my mate lives. She mentioned they told her this morning they’d be on site both today and tomorrow, because there’s still lots left to do.MpaasEDF2 yearsI got a text saying my smart meter wasn’t sending any readings. I phoned my energy company and they said everything was fine on their end. Honestly, these scammers should be tracked and reported to the authorities asap.2 yearsBeware of people claiming to be from EDF via MPAAS - it’s a total scam. My meter wasn’t working right, so they arranged for an engineer to come out, but then they called and cancelled just a couple of days later. Felt like they were just trying to get my personal details. Don’t trust this!MPAASEDF2 yearsI received a message from the number 0161 850 7564, claiming they were in touch on behalf of EDF about issues with my smart meter. They even used my full name, which struck me as a bit odd.EDF2 yearsI'm really relieved I ignored this number! I missed a call on the 9th of February and got a voicemail afterwards, but honestly, I couldn’t make heads or tails of it. The woman’s accent was quite thick and distinctly European. Then, I got a text stating they were contacting me on behalf of EDF regarding an issue with my smart meter not being operational and wanted to set up an appointment. They urged me to ring 03308088910 and hit option 1 or email at [email protected]. The message concluded with, "Kind regards, MPAAS Booking Team." It looked remarkably legitimate. I’m so thankful I decided to investigate this number! Complete SCAM.EDFcoukMPAAS Booking Team2 yearsGot a text and voicemail saying it was from EDF about my meter being disconnected. The MPAAS site seems pretty official, but when I called them to check their details, they just hung up. Feels like a scam to me.EDFMPAAS2 yearsThis number rang me but I couldn't pick up, later got a text saying to ring 03308088910 and chat with the MPAAS Booking Team.MPAAS Booking Team2 yearsReceived a missed call along with a message and later realised it was from a dodgy number.2 yearsThis number rang me saying my smart gas meter wasn’t working properly. I got in touch with EDF afterwards and they told me everything was fine with the meter. Sounds like a scam to me?EDF2 yearsI received a call earlier today concerning my smart meter's lack of communication. I agreed to have someone come round next week to sort it out. However, after chatting with EDF, they informed me that the call didn’t come from them, which raised a few red flags. I then took it upon myself to do some digging online and promptly cancelled the appointment. I really can't fathom what the scam could entail, apart from possibly trying to hit me with a call-out charge. Quite baffling, to be honest!EDF2 yearsGot a missed call from this number, then a message popped up saying it was someone from EDF about my smart meter not sending info. I didn’t reply though coz I’m not sure if it’s legit or some scam. I’ve also dropped an email to EDF to check if they really sent someone to get in touch with me.EDF2 yearsTotal scam! They started with “let’s just say, we aint short on cash” and then just hung up on me. Proper nasty bunch.2 yearsGot a message from this number saying they were from EDF and that our smart meter had stopped working properly. They asked me to call a number or email them to sort it out, saying they were part of the MPAAS booking team. Definitely a scam. I rang EDF on the number from their official website, and they told me the smart meter was fine. I passed along the details from the suspicious message so they could check it out.EDFMPAAS2 yearsI just got a message purporting to be from EDF, claiming that my smart meter has ceased communication. I reached out to EDF directly and they confirmed it’s a complete scam!EDF2 yearsThis number is definitely a scam, pretending to be about smart meters.
