Got a call claiming to be EDF asking for my account info, I just ended the call straight away. Then I got three more calls from the same number, so I went ahead and blocked it!

Got a call on my phone from a number I didn’t recognise. I didn’t pick up and it stopped ringing after a bit. No message was left either. Sounds like one of those usual spam calls. After reading the reviews, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number and reported it.

I picked up the phone but stayed quiet. Then, a few moments later the call just ended on its own, so I'm guessing it was some sort of robo call.

Today at about 3.42pm, my phone rang from 01785 508798. I ended the call straight away since the number was unfamiliar, and I don't have any contacts in Stafford.

Kept getting calls from these scammers, so I rang back. The line answered with "Welcome to the Energy Department." Total rubbish.

Somebody rang saying they were with British Gas and mentioned a problem with our meter reading from a couple of weeks ago. They kept insisting on getting the account address and didn't accept any of the details I offered that weren't what they wanted. When I started questioning things, they just hung up on me.

Someone phoned my workplace pretending to be from Octopus Energy. This is the second time in as many days we've dealt with this, though yesterday's call came from a different number.

I got a call from this number, and the guy said he was with Octopus Energy. He asked for a meter reading and wanted me to confirm details on one of our bills. When I said I'd ring Octopus myself to make sure, he told me they don’t have a contact number you can call 😂. Then, he got really rude and kept talking over me whenever I tried to question him, so I just ended the call. He rang straight back, demanding to know why I hung up and even threatened to cut off our energy supply. I hung up again. So far, no power cuts here 😂 Total scam attempt.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with EON, which is who I get my energy from. They started off with that typical call centre spiel about my postcode not matching what's on my bills. When I pushed back and questioned them, they just ended the call straight away.
