A woman phoned me saying she was from Eon and that there was an issue with my meter. When I told her I didn’t use Eon, she quickly switched her story. I told her I wasn’t interested, and she claimed she wasn’t trying to sell me anything. I repeated that I wasn’t interested, and then she insulted me by calling me stupid! Absolutely rude behaviour!

Got a call from someone saying they were British Gas. Told them to send an email but they said they didn't have my email address. Then, they kept ringing back again and again but there was no sound on the line. Proper annoying!

I got a call at our church from someone saying they were with Total Gas Power’s metering team, saying our meter was faulty and needed replacement. They mentioned it would happen sometime in April. But when I tried ringing back to get more details, no one picked up. The person on the phone had a really strong accent, which made it hard to follow what they were saying.

Woman phoned my wife, was very rude and pushing saying there is a problem with our electric meter, there is not. When my wife hung up she phoned back and shouted at my wife for being rude for hanging up. Didn't know my supplier, my wife told her to put it in a letter or email with the detail she has registered for us and we will take it from there. I don't expect to hear anything more.

They kept ringing me up, first saying they were from EDF, then changing to British Gas. The calls were endless and the people on the other end were really rude and not at all professional. Very frustrating!

Watch out for these energy broker scams. They’ll try to get your details, but just end the call and put them on block. Don’t share anything with them.

He was proper rude, all because I wouldn’t share any details with him. Then he started threatening me, saying he’d #### and #### me. Such a nasty bloke!

Got a bloke on the phone who claimed he was from the meter dept, wanted to swap our meter or something.. absolute nonsense, definitely a SCAM. Been getting loads of calls like this lately.

I got a call from someone saying my EDF meter was faulty and they needed to swap it out. They then started asking for confirmation of my details. I told them they should already have all my info and to just email me everything first. I also said I’d only agree to anything after I’d checked with my meter company myself. Feels like a scam to me. Still waiting on that email and a callback, but nothing has come through. Watch out for this kind of scam!

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming to be from British Gas, saying they were under a new name or something. He started going on about us owing £2,000 from when our business supposedly shut down. Thing is, we’ve got a direct debit set up and the company’s still up and running. Definitely felt like a scam. Blocked the number straight away.

Got another call from this bloke who says he's from "Direct Energy Services," but I reckon it's one of those Indian scams again. I told him straight up to quit ringing me.

I told them to take me off their list and never ring again, and the person on the other end cheerfully told me to get lost with some rude language.

Got a call on my landline from a chap claiming to be from the 'metering department'. He told me our meter had to be replaced. I requested that he email me all the info so I could check with my manager, but he refused. While he did manage to name our energy supplier, he had no clue about any account numbers or the account holder’s name. Definitely stay clear of this one.

Got a call from a man with an Indian accent about our business's electricity contract, but he couldn’t provide any MPAN or meter details to pin down which one he was referring to. When I asked which company he was from, he couldn’t say and didn’t even tell me his own name. I just ended up hanging up on him.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be from an energy firm, saying their prices are 25% less than mine. He couldn't give me any actual rates and kept pestering about my current supplier. I just messed about with him, insisting he already had my number since he phoned me. Proper dodgy, would steer clear!
