11 monthsUsually, I don't arrange any appointments myself since the council usually handles that because I'm a tenant. So it's weird they’ve messaged me about scheduling an electrician to come and inspect my electricity.1 yearGot a call from this number about booking a home electrical safety inspection. I rang the housing association to check if this company is actually authorised by them and they said yes, they are.1 yearI got a text from a landline, 01772 250179, saying they wanted to get in touch for Forhousing about an electrical safety inspection. Seems a bit odd didn’t expect that.Forhousing1 yearBES electrical group do inspections to check electrical safety for housing associations.BES Electrical Group1 yearBES Electrical are the ones scheduling the fixed wire tests for buildings. It's a legal thing that these checks need doing every five years, and your landlord or council should definitely know about it.BES Electrical1 yearI saw this Preston number pop up but chose not to pick up. Ive head from others that it might be a scam after I looked the number up.Preston2 yearsJust got a call from this number today and decided to pick up. Turns out they’re from a firm doing EICR checks for North Tyneside council. I hadn’t seen the number before so I looked it up here and saw others mentioning something similar about electrical inspections. So far, everything seems above board, and I've now scheduled the test with them. Seems like a proper company carrying out proper work.North Tyneside CouncilEICR2 yearsGot a ring from this number at about 11 in the morning today. The person on the other end wasn’t speaking English, sounded like some kind of East Asian language. I checked the number and it showed up connected to BES Electrical Training Group in Preston! A couple of days back, I got a similar call but that one was from a different number which I couldn't find any details about.Far EastBES Electrical Training GroupPreston2 yearsI didn't pick up the call but then received a message from BES Group saying they’d been trying to reach me about some PV testing for my place, on behalf of ForHousing. They want me to ring back to sort it out. Bit strange though, as ForHousing had someone round to inspect my solar panels just a few months ago.BESForHousing2 yearsThey rang me and left a message from BES, claiming to be from my housing association and gave a different phone number to arrange a survey. I've already told my housing association about unwanted calls and texts from firms working with them, so I flagged this one too and blocked the number. If it's for a serious safety check, their way of getting in touch seems pretty dodgy.BES2 yearsThey kept ringin and hangin up, then callin back sayin they needed to come into my house to check the electrics for the housing lot. When I asked stuff, they just cut off and called me again. Then they told me to ring them back. Got proper fed up with all the rubbish and just blocked the number.2 yearsKeeps ringing me but never says a word. I’ve just ended up blocking them.2 yearsAllegedly representing Gentoo.Gentoo3 yearsSo, I've heard of an electrician who does inspections for Housing Associations, kind of like the regular gas safety checks we get done. They make sure all the electrics are safe and up to standard. It's good to see someone focusing on that, especially since we usually only think about gas checks. Sounds like a handy service for tenants and management alike.3 yearsDidn’t think it was a scam, it’s from a company named “Lantei” working for Gentoo tenants, they’re just organising an electrical check.LanteiGentoo3 yearsI'm thinking of informing the police because my landlord had no clue about any electric inspections. Feels like they might just be out to rip you off.3 yearsGot a call from 01772250179 about checking my electrics, claimed they were from the housing association. I called the housing association myself and they said it’s a scam. Don’t open the door for them, they’re not legit!4 yearsGot a call from this number but didn’t answer, then I got a text saying they were sent by my landlord to do some electrical checks! Thing is, I haven’t had any word from my landlord about it. Sounds a bit dodgy to me. I’m gonna double check with my landlord before doing anything and might report this if it’s just a scam.4 yearsGot a missed call earlier, then a text popped up from someone called Lantei. They say they’re hired by my Housing Association to carry out some electrical inspections. Never heard a peep from the housing lot myself, so I’m just gonna give them a miss.LanteiHousing Association4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they had to inspect our main power box outside, all the plug sockets and the circuit board inside the house. So I rang the Housing Association to double-check and they had no idea about any inspection arranged. Smelt like a scam to me, probably trying to get in to sell some dodgy service or even worse, have a nose around to nick stuff. Would keep an eye out if I were you.Housing Association4 yearsGot a letter from the council saying the electricity's due for a check every three years. An electrical firm showed up to inspect the current usage.4 yearsGot a call but no message was left, seems fishy to me like a scam or something.4 yearsLantei is a firm specialising in the inspection of electrical systems within properties owned by local councils.Lantei4 yearsGot this number calling, it rang once then stopped when I tried to pick up. I never take calls from numbers I don't recognise so it's blocked now. Sent it to 7726 to report as spam.4 yearsI think Lantei handle electrical safety inspections for many housing associations and local councils here.Lantei4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with an electrical firm saying they needed to carry out some inspections for my landlord. Thing is, I usually get a letter from the landlord if any work is planned, but haven’t seen or heard anything this time.4 yearsFor about four months now, this number keeps ringing and sending messages, sometimes even as late as 9 in the evening. They say they're contacting me for my landlord about a supposed "necessary electrical inspection" at my flat. Honestly, if it was really necessary, I reckon my landlord would've got in touch with me personally by this point!4 yearsThey mentioned something about an electrics inspection which I've never had done before. The lady on the phone told me to expect a letter from my housing association. I tried the number they gave to see if other housing groups were involved but no luck. I’ll get in touch with my own housing association to sort it out. Also, I had to block three spam calls today already, one claimed to be about a parcel from Currys - totally fake.Currys4 yearsGot called a bunch of times from this number, didn’t pick up and then just blocked it.4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from railway housing, but I reckon it was just another phone scam.4 yearsThey just kept calling and wouldn't even say who they were representing. Such a nuisance!5 yearsGot a call from an unknown number, couldn’t tell where it was from, and they didn’t leave any message. If it really matters, I guess they’ll ring again.5 yearsI keep getting these irritating telemarketer calls all the time. It’s so frustrating!5 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, lantei or something like that, always bothering me nonstop.Lantei6 yearsDont bother picking up for these calls, they're pushy sales folks trying to get you into electrical testing and seminars. Just ignore them.6 yearsI honestly haven’t got a clue who that was.6 yearsReceived a call from 01772250179, with someone pretending to be from Belive Housing Group. They said they needed to schedule an electrical inspection at my home. I’m going to ring up my actual housing provider first thing tomorrow to see if this is legit or just a scam.Belive Housing GroupSubmit Your Own Report (01772 250179)
