1 yearOn Friday 16/05, between 12.12 and 13.04, this number rang me 4 times. I was at the doctors so couldn't pick up, and they didn't bother leaving a voicemail. I looked it up here and turns out it's a scam.1 yearGot a call from a bloke saying he was from British Gas and wanted to chat about the church’s account. I’m not the one who handles bills or anything, so I suspected it was a dodgy call straight away. He was asking for my email and other details. I just told him goodbye and hung up. They rang me again shortly after, but I ignored it. The guy said his name was Kevin when I spoke to him.British GasKevin1 yearGot a call from British Gas saying I needed to log into some church account to fix a billing issue. I don’t manage anything for the church and definitely wouldn’t be emailing their office about it. Seemed a bit off to me.British Gas1 yearHad a nightmare with British Gas - kept ringing about an account I don’t even have! Called them back four times but got some really rude and even threatening responses. Sounds like their databases might be all messed up or something. Total waste of time!British Gas1 yearGot a call from an Indian woman claiming to be from Octopus, saying there’s an issue with my meter. This is the second time I’ve had a call like this, but from a different number and a different lady. Told her she was lying and to stop calling, but I’m sure I’ll be getting another one soon!Octopus1 yearMy mum got a call from this number earlier and the person on the line sounded like they were from abroad. They said they were from British Gas, which was a bit suspicious. Funny enough, I’d just sorted out a fixed contract for her with British Gas, so luckily it wasn’t a problem. Still, I worry this could trick older or more vulnerable people.British Gas1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be EDF, and they actually had loads of details, like our business meter number and even the name of a nearby company. I made sure not to share anything with them and quickly called it out as a scam before hanging up. It’s pretty alarming how much info they’ve managed to gather though.EDF1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas, asking for stuff like email codes and details about the company. They rang me 4 times all in one day, proper annoying! Feels like they’re fishing for info.British Gas1 yearI got a call from someone claiming to be my energy supplier. As soon as I put the phone down, they kept ringing me back every five minutes - like six times already. Pretty annoying!1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be E-on Next. I ended the call but they rang me back straight away. They knew quite a bit about the company stuff but nothing that seemed secret or private. I've put the number on my block list now.1 yearGot a call claiming to be EDF, but it was totally fishy. Didn't sound legit at all, so I just ended the call straight away.EDF1 yearLike others have said, this caller said they were from EDF, my electric company. It all seemed fishy though, especially with the dodgy line and a foreign accent. When I asked for the account number, they said they didn’t have one, only an MPAN number or something. I told them I couldn’t continue without an account number and just hung up.EDF1 yearI've been getting nonstop calls claiming to be from British Gas or someone pretending to work for them. It's really annoying how persistent they are.British Gas1 yearThis number rang me several times earlier, saying they were from the E-On Next Metering Team and claimed there were issues with our MPAN number. When I asked them to confirm our account details, they couldn’t provide any. I then asked to speak with a manager, mentioning I could hear a bunch of people talking in the background, which sounded like a call centre. That’s when they just hung up on me. I’ve blocked the number now.E - On Next Metering TeamMPAN1 yearKeeps ringing me non stop but when I try to call back, they dont pick up. Ive just blocked this number now.2 yearsReceived a call on my mobile from someone saying they were from Drax. I told them I wasn’t with Drax and they just hung up. Then they rang again, this time from a landline. When I asked why they'd switched numbers, she quickly said she was from a meter reading company. Sounds fishy to me, especially since both my meters are connected via WIFI. I’m guessing the trick is to get your meter reading and number, then they contact your energy provider pretending they’re authorised to access your account. Definitely felt like a scam to me.2 yearsI got a call from a Peterborough area code where the person said they were from my energy company, which is weird because they’re not even close to that location. I checked with my actual energy provider and they told me it was definitely a scam, though I kinda guessed that straight away.Peterborough2 yearsGot a call from some woman who sounded like she was from an Indian call centre. She claimed to be with Total Gas and Power and wanted us to confirm supply numbers by reading them off our bills. It all felt pretty suspicious to me.Total Gas and Power2 yearsGot a call supposedly from EON Next asking for my meter reading and number. I’m puzzled about what the scam could be here?! Anyway, I double checked with EON and they told me they hadn’t made any calls.EON2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Eon, wanted my supply number 'cause supposedly there was an issue with my bill. They were really insistent and a bit annoying, so I just ended the call. Then, I rang up Eon myself and they were quite helpful - they told me they hadn’t actually phoned me at all.Eon2 yearsGot a phone call from someone saying they were from British Gas, saying there was a problem with my account. They already had my work email and sent me a “password reset” link, then asked me to read out the numbers from it. The lady on the line kept pushing for about 4 minutes, trying to get me to give her the meter readings from my latest bill. In the end, I just told her to screw off!British Gas2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the electric company, but when I asked for an invoice, they just kept using vague lines without any real info. Felt really dodgy to me.2 yearshad a laugh messing with them, ended up making them hang up. tried calling back to annoy them a bit but no luck getting through :(Submit Your Own Report (01733 242068)
