Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but the moment my voicemail started, they just ended it straight away. Feels like a total scam, happens so often nowadays.

I just had a call from someone claiming to be BT Technical Support. They also sent an email to back it up. Seemed a bit fishy to me though.

My wife's phone rang from a number she didn’t know. She usually ignores calls like that, which seems wise after reading what people say here. Definitely going to block it now.

I got a call from someone named Martin who said he wanted to chat about the energy costs around here. Once I asked if he was speaking to the house owner, I just hung up. Can’t trust these calls. I’ve blocked the number now.

I got a call from 01661312086 claiming I was the biggest energy user in the whole country. The bloke wouldn't let me get a word in or answer any of my questions. It felt like a total scam, really pushy and quite unsettling! After he kept going on without paying attention to what I said, I just ended the call. Definitely sounded like he was sticking to some script.

Sounds like a scam to me. The caller said he was from Re-think Energy, but that biz shut down years ago. With a thick northern accent, he kept insisting he wasn’t cold calling - clearly wasn’t true. He claimed he was verifying I still lived at my address (without actually saying my name) and that the company’d been called because the area uses loads of energy. Total rubbish. When I asked him to spell the company name and give its registration details, he just hung up on me.

Some bloke from Re-think Energy rang me up, asking if I owned the house and said that our postcode had one of the biggest energy usages in the UK. I didn’t really reply to his questions, and after I said I wasn’t keen on chatting with sales types like him, he ended the call, but at least he was polite about it!

Definately a scam call, was pretty clear from the start.

Received a call from the same outfit as yesterday, but from a different number. They didn’t pick up, and no voicemail was left either. I’ve gone ahead and blocked them.

Received a rather peculiar call on my mobile, purporting to be regarding a survey linked to high energy consumption in our locality. However, I found myself baffled - how on earth did they ascertain my location just from my mobile number? The conversation revolved around energy usage and started with queries about whether we'd installed double glazing. It certainly felt like a rather sophisticated automated system, almost convincing with its human-like tone. When I pressed to confirm if I was indeed speaking to a computer, the call abruptly ended, which left me somewhat suspicious. It makes one wonder what they're planning to do with the information collected. I have a hunch this is all part of a scheme to harvest data for targeted marketing initiatives. When I attempted to ring them back, I was met with a message stating that all their lines were currently occupied. Quite the shifty setup, if you ask me!
