Got a call that sounded like it was coming from one of those call centres, with loads of chatter in the background. The bloke’s accent made me think he might be from around Delhi or somewhere close. He said he was with British Gas, but I told him we don’t do cold calls here and he should just send an email instead, which he probably has on file anyway. Hung up quick - no time for dodgy sales tactics!

Got a call from someone claiming to be with EDF, telling me we're being charged too much due to an inaccurate meter reading. Honestly, it felt like a complete scam to me.

I got a call from someone claiming to be part of my energy company's meter billing team - which, as far as I know, doesn’t actually exist. They asked me to verify the MPAN number on my bill. To sound convincing, they read out my number first, then said there was an issue and I might get an incorrect bill unless both numbers matched. After that, they pressed me for my renewal date. I wasn’t happy about that and asked why that was needed for billing. When I refused to give it, the caller got really rude and said my bill would be completely wrong, then just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with British Gas billing. They asked for my meter number and email address. They tried to convince me by reading out a string of numbers, but it didn’t feel right. I ended up hanging up because he didn’t seem to have enough info to be legit. Kept thinking it might be a scam.

I got a call from someone saying they were with Scottish Power, but we actually use another energy company. When I told them this, they sounded pretty lost. Then I asked why their number showed up from South Africa on here, and straight away they just ended the call and didn’t say anything else. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Somebody calling claiming to be from my electricity provider but was totally making stuff up. I told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call. Then they had the nerve to call me straight back! Proper cheeky.
