5 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Indian accent saying she was from Opus Energy. She claimed there was an issue with my postcode and wanted to cancel one of my bills. Asked for my supply number, but I told her to just email me instead and ended the call. Then she rang back a couple of times after that.Opus Energy5 yearsThis was totally an energy con. They called saying they were from British Gas about a meter reading and a bill due soon, I had to repeat that we’re not with BG. Then they switched to claiming it was EON, throwing out some random account number and saying there was a mistake with our postcode on file. The woman had a really thick accent, barely made sense, and there was so much noise in the background it was impossible to hear properly. Honestly, it’s a complete scam, don’t fall for it!British GasEON5 yearsGot calls a few times each week from someone saying they're from my energy company, asking for info about a bill I supposedly got. Didn’t really know what they wanted to verify, so I just ended the call and blocked the number.5 yearsSaid they were with British Gas, but when I asked for my account number, they couldn’t tell me.British Gas5 yearsSounds like they were tryin to fish out some personal details.5 yearsI got a call from someone pretending to be with my “meter reading firm.” They told me my account had an incorrect postcode and that my bills were going to another address. The caller’s English wasn’t great, and when I asked which company actually supplies my electricity and who he was working for, he just kept saying he was from the meter reading company. I told him I always submit my own readings, and right after that, he ended the call. Pretty sure he was gearing up to ask for my bank info for a fake refund, but it never got that far. BEWARE: THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM5 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming he was from British Gas Lite. He already knew loads of stuff about us - name, address, even our meter number and exact bill amounts. He kept insisting I give him more info, but I made it clear I wasn’t going to talk about anything else with him.British Gas Lite5 yearsGot a call from a guy named Scott with a super thick Indian accent - honestly, mate, put a bit more effort in! Total scam, and I can't understand why these muppets are still running around doing this. I reckon the officials must be taking bribes or something, coz that's the only way this rubbish can keep going. You can guess the rest.Scott5 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was from Corona Energy, wanted my meter number. I asked him for my account number instead, and he didn’t have a clue. After that, he kept ringing me like 10 times, so I just kept disconnecting. What a muppet.Corona Energy5 yearsGot a bloke on the phone, said he was from Corona energy and wanted my meter number. I asked him for my account number instead, and mate, he had no clue! After that, he kept calling me around ten times, but I just kept putting the phone down. Proper pain.Corona Energy5 yearsJust like others have said here before, I spoke to EDF and they told me straight away it was a scam call. They’ve added some notes on our account just to be safe.EDF5 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming to be with EDF. He said their engineer put someone else’s meter reading on our account, from another company way out of town. He wanted to check some dates on my most recent bill. I humoured him for a bit but in the end he just ended the call. The background was really loud, so it seemed like a busy call centre. Took him a while to actually notice I’d picked up. Best just to block this number! 01738 456 789EDF5 yearsLike others have mentioned, the guy said some meter reader had accidentally put in my postcode instead of someone else’s. He asked me to look at the meter number on my bill (starts with S) and I gave it a go. Then, oddly, HE told me the correct meter number from my bill. The only details I ended up giving him were the billing period dates and the total charge. I thought it was harmless enough info to share. He seemed a bit shocked that it was for a home and not a business meter, then just hung up. I’m not sure if I’ve been scammed or not... really confused about it :/5 yearsGot a call from someone calling himself Clark, said he was from the meter reading firm. He said the post code was wrong and needed to check some details. I told him no thanks, and he quickly got quite pushy, kept insisting on getting info but I said we only share stuff with our supplier. He got annoyed and just kept repeating himself. After a while, I told him to stop calling and hung up. This number has rang me a few times before as well.Clark5 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from the Metering Department for my electricity. I just ended the call straight away.Electricity Metering Department5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Opus, then British Gas - felt like a scam to me. They had quite a bit of info about our account, which honestly made me uneasy.British GasOpus5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Scott Gibson, said it was about a meter reading for Opus.Scott Gibson5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with an energy company, saying the engineer had the wrong postcode and asking us to read out the meter number. But when we told them the address they had wasn’t ours at all, they just hung up on us.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from OPUS about my meter reading - total scam!5 yearsGot a call from someone saying it was about my energy meter. They said their engineer took a reading but got the postcode a bit wrong. Now they’re asking me to confirm the meter numbers or else they’ll charge me for someone else’s electricity usage. They’re pushing to get the info right away or they can't fix the problem. Sounds like a total scam to me! Definitely don’t deal with these lot.5 yearsThe same number rings me everyday, constant calls non stop.5 yearsI got a call at work from someone claiming to be British Gas. They asked loads of questions that any genuine rep would already know the answers to. Seemed pretty obvious they weren’t legit.British Gas5 yearsSomebody said they were from Opus Energy and wanted to confirm some details. I told them many times I’m not able to sort that out, but they kept calling and have phoned me about 14 times today already. I’ve dealt with someone else from that same number before and it was just as bad - they don’t stop pestering you and won’t accept ‘no’ for an answer. Honestly, this is the worst hassle I’ve ever had from a caller.Opus Energy5 yearsgot two calls the day after each other from someone saying they was with edf. they wanted to check my meter numbers to fix some readings their engineer supposedly took. seems dodgy to me, don't trust it.Submit Your Own Report (01738 456789)
