I got a recorded message saying they’re tied up and will ring back later - something about insurance. It’s really irritating and such a hassle. Honestly, they ought to be tracked down and slapped with a big fine!

My poor elderly neighbour was fleeced out of £299 by these scoundrels, and to make matters worse, they had the audacity to withdraw the amount from her account twice!

Take heed of this warning regarding Green Streak Energy based in Swansea.

What a right pickle I’ve found myself in with "Greenstreak"! I had a delightful conversation with a woman on the line who seemed rather pleasant-who would think a Welsh lass would play such tricks? Just like all the other scams, she promised to help me cut down on my water charges and reclaim cash from my electricity provider. Foolishly, I ended up handing over £49.00 upfront. Lesson learnt, that’s for sure! I feel like such a muppet! - Caller: GREENSTREAK

I've had this number blocked for ages, yet they keep ringing me every so often. Clearly, they're still operating. Just a word of caution!

I've had this number on my blocked list for ages now, yet they keep ringing me from time to time. Clearly, they're still operational! Stay alert!

I’m registered with the TPS yet I still received a call from them. It’s baffling that a so-called 'trustworthy' organisation would choose to flout established regulations. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust those people an inch! - from: Green Streak

I've been inundated with bothersome calls from this number. Considering we're ex-directory, it seems clear that our details have been passed on to this firm by someone. It’s quite alarming how untrustworthy people can be these days!

got a call saying something about a refund on my water and surface drainage bill. sounded dodgy to me. you can listen if you want but i’d be careful about sharing any details with them. feels like a scam.

I just received a rather dubious call from these chaps regarding a supposed “rebate owed on my water bill.” When I informed them that I wasn’t eligible for any rebate, given that all my rainwater funnels straight into the main drainage system rather than those soakaway things, the caller claimed they'd clearly received some erroneous information. To which I responded, “not a chance!” This lot are simply casting a wide net, hoping to reel someone in! What really winds me up is their blatant disregard for the rules around the Telephone Preference Service, which I’ll certainly be reporting. Just a heads up - if your dwelling's rainwater does indeed go into soakaways, then a reduction on your water bill might be in order, so do consult your water provider about it. There’s absolutely no need to involve a third party! - Caller: Green Streak

I received a call from this number recently. The chap on the line had a Welsh accent, much like my own, and mentioned something about Greenstreak and a refund for an overcharge. I informed him that I had no knowledge of the company and wouldn’t share any personal information over the phone; I suggested he send a written correspondence instead. We ended the call on a cordial note. He brought up “eco funding” and claimed that Greenstreak had been operating for three years. Upon browsing their website, I noticed buried within, they have a rather intriguing fee of nearly £300 for their cost-saving services. Quite suspicious if you ask me! I can’t help but wonder how they acquired my phone number, especially since I'm registered with the telephone preference service to avoid such unsolicited calls. The caller was indeed Green Streak.

In response to O JONES: I must clarify that we have never and will never impose a fee for something like a "Boiler." What we offer is a thorough home assessment, which might come with ECO funding opportunities. Historically, our charges have not exceeded £299.99 for any service rendered. Therefore, I'm quite puzzled as to where you've encountered those figures of £750 and £475. I assure you, it’s certainly not linked to Green Streak. - caller: gs

I've had a natter with Green Streak Energy, and I noticed you mentioned you struck a solid deal with them online. Are you still feeling chuffed about it? I'm a bit anxious about any initial expenses.

I've had a bit of correspondence with Green Streak Energy. You mentioned you'd touch base again online... did you find it helpful, and are you happy with the outcome? I'm a bit anxious about any initial expenses involved.

I received a call claiming I was eligible for a £100 discount on my water bill. Strangely, she failed to provide her name or inquire who owned the property. When I pressed her twice for her identity, she became quite irked and mentioned she was from Green Street, representing Welsh Water. The peculiar thing is, I neither reside in Wales nor am I a customer of theirs! Upon informing her of this, her reply was that I was overpaying for my wastewater, which includes rainwater and sewage. Quite frankly, I'm left unimpressed! Her tone was rather discourteous, bordering on rude, and the whole encounter highlighted rather poor customer service standards.

Got a call from a number I don't recognise, so I’m really hoping to figure out who it could be.

I received a rather peculiar call back in May regarding some savings on home improvements, and then on the 1st of December, another call came through, this time about cutting down my water bill. When I brought up the fact that I'm still waiting for someone to come and sort out the home improvement scheme, the chap on the line - Rogan, I believe - seemed a bit taken aback. Quite an odd sequence, if you ask me!

I received a call today claiming they could provide me with a reduction on my water charges. I decided to give them what I like to call the “referee’s whistle” treatment down the line!

In May 2015, I forked out £750 for a boiler replacement across three properties. This morning, I received a rather dodgy call claiming I could reclaim my money - but only if I paid an additional £475 for some admin charges! I explained that I simply don't have that sort of cash lying around, and wouldn’t you know it, he hung up on me! Absolutely a scam! - Caller: As mentioned above.

Establishing my own website has turned into quite the ordeal, particularly due to all the unsolicited marketing that comes my way through various channels. Just a few days ago, I acquired the latest BT handset equipped with Call Guardian and TrueCall (the BT8500 model). I've set everything up, and I must say, it’s been worth every penny. It doesn’t matter who your phone provider is; this gadget is a must-have. I've been harassed by nuisance calls from an array of sources, including numbers starting with 000 and what look to be legitimate UK numbers that often have a digit missing. However, since I installed this system, I've had blissful silence! I simply check missed calls and take the liberty to block them. Real callers tend to leave their details, so it’s all tickety-boo, as they say! I've now successfully blocked this troublesome number.

I called my husband to discuss a scam we unfortunately got caught up in some time back. The caller claimed they could help us recover our money and asked if he could share our bank details over the phone. Absolutely not-no chance of that!

This morning, I received a rather curious call from a company going by the name of Green Streak. A woman named Charmayne had the audacity to greet me by name and even mentioned my address, claiming I was eligible for a refund of at least £100 from Welsh Water. She provided a phone number, 08438865512, for me to call. When I probed her about the nature of her company, she stated that Green Streak was involved in some government initiative aimed at assisting elderly folks in securing better deals. Then she handed the call over to her 'manager', who had quite the sales pitch up his sleeve. He assured me that I could receive all new replacement windows, radiators, and even free solar panels - but only after I forked out £299.99 for what he termed an 'independent survey'. Naturally, I didn’t entertain the idea. When I mentioned that I wished to verify their company online, he abruptly hung up on me. Quite the experience, I must say!

You seem to have plenty of information, so here's my query: Why is it that you don't comply with the TPS regulations? - from: Green streak

He called saying I was owed a rebate but I’m pretty sure it was just another con artist trying to scam me.

To all the commenters on this platform, I’d like to take a moment to clarify something. If you've taken a gander at our website, you'll notice that it explicitly mentions you can carry out these tasks yourself at no cost whatsoever. We've never claimed that doing this solo is off-limits. Yet, it seems many folks-statistics suggest around 70% of people in the UK-have yet to switch their energy providers. Prior to receiving that call, were you aware that you might be eligible for surface water refunds? Have you ever reached out to your water provider to reclaim what is rightfully yours? But our services go beyond that! We delve into every single bill associated with your household, including gas, electric, water, car insurance, home contents, life insurance-you name it, we cover it. If you receive certain benefits or credits, have you heard of Welsh Water’s "WATER SURE" programme? Probably not, unless you’ve inquired. This programme could potentially cap your bills at a mere £262. While some may label us a scam, I urge you to have a look at our website where you can find correspondence from Welsh Water themselves, confirming that they issue refunds after our assistance. We also offer Energy Performance Certificates, and there are various schemes out there that could qualify you for complimentary home improvements should you meet the necessary criteria. We take no issue with criticism-it’s a common aspect of our trade-but I implore you to conduct your research before voicing complaints. - Caller: Green Streak

I recently got a dodgy call that I suspect came from a Swansea call centre. They claimed to be from a company with a name like GreenStreet or perhaps GreanStreak-it was quite hard to catch, as they mumbled quite a bit! After a chat with my water supplier, they advised me to keep my cards close to my chest and not share any information with them. Apparently, Welsh Water/Dwr Cymru mentioned that you can access free inquiries directly through your own water provider. This outfit is trying to charge for something that should cost you nothing-be wary! The caller went by the name GreenStreet or something akin to that.

Got a bloke on the phone with a Welsh accent who was really rude, telling me I was being cheeky just for asking questions. I just wanted to know if it was a scam! He said I was paying way too much for water. After looking into it, turns out it was only partly true - guess some folks might claim money back, but not me. My advice? Stay calm and just end the call.

Received a call from Green Streak. They were chitchatting about me supposedly being eligible for a water rebate, but I made it clear that’s not true. The fella on the line-might’ve been Keri?-seemed rather unwilling to accept that no rebate is forthcoming for my property. I requested politely for them to take my number off their list twice, and then he just hung up on me. Brilliant service, truly top-notch quality! - Caller: GREEN STREAK

Despite being listed with the Telephone Preference Service, these nuisances still manage to ring my number. It’s quite clear they’re flouting the law. Anyone here claiming they’re a bona fide business clearly doesn’t know what they’re talking about. There's no need to cough up any cash upfront for a refund; just reach out straight to your water supplier. To top it off, they hung up abruptly-probably realised we’re not even homeowners! Total con artists, that’s for sure! - caller: Green Streak

I've noticed that complaints regarding residential issues, which are now under the umbrella of Green Streak, are being forwarded to the fraud office, X-ray, and the police. The originating caller is linked to Green Streak.

You’re probably gonna end up losing money. Steer clear and get real advice if you need it, not some random person ringing you up asking for cash.

Probably will end up costing you cash. Best to steer clear and get trustworthy advice if you really need it, rather than some stranger on the blower demanding money.

I received a rather curious call from a company called Green Streak. They had the cheek to use my name accurately and claimed that I might be eligible for a refund on my water bill, which is quite frankly nonsense. As I've registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I’ll never engage with a business that resorts to cold calling, no matter how reputable they might seem at first glance. - Caller: Green Streak (name omitted)

Honestly, I’m not at all astonished that Green Streak has opted to avoid a presence on Facebook; the avalanche of complaints would undoubtedly bring their platform crashing down. However, the antics they seem to indulge in are certainly the talk of the town. What’s all this about a sudden emergence from behind the proverbial curtains? I’ve also noticed that the accreditations have mysteriously vanished from your website. They seemed to have been... shall we say, rather cynically 'leveraged’? Pray tell, don’t try to convince me that there’s been some sort of epiphany leading to a newfound commitment to transparency-such a notion would really stretch the limits of believability. My take? Quick payday, shut the doors, and scarper into the sunset. As a side note, your claim of “We will also place your number on the TPS register to stop unwanted calls to your home” never fails to tickle my sense of humour. "Oh Muriel, you're simply dreadful!"

Heads up, I got a call from someone claiming to be with Green Streak, telling me I could get a water bill rebate. Turns out, it was a scam. Watch out for this one!

Dear Mr Lewis, Just a quick note to let you know we’ll reach out to you within the next day. We've had several conversations with Mrs Lewis on dates like 9th, 11th, 16th of February, and then again on 30th March, 3rd April, and 14th May. Additionally, we've also sent several documents over to her as well. Thank you for your patience!

In response to Jaeger, I must say that Green Streak has zero interest in creating a Facebook profile, and I can assure you that it won't happen anytime soon. Furthermore, the authorities have been alerted about an earlier comment that was utterly revolting and inappropriate. It's truly baffling how some individuals can lack any sense of decency.

Got a call from someone with a welsh lilt claiming to be from Green Streak, saying they could sort me out with a water bill rebate. Seemed a bit fishy to me.

Haha! Well, Sophie/CD/Poppy, it appears there's no shortage of con artists out there, like the likes of SynergyHES and REC-Audits, just to mention a couple. And look at you, naming them left right and centre! Oh, and don't forget to throw your own little gem, Green Streak, into the mix of “those plenty of others.” "I've notified the police, who say they'll reach out to the individual." Right, sure they will! What a load of nonsense! Goodness me, I was under the impression that Green Streak Productions had called it a day. You’re hardly pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes, are you? I see your charm has also earned you a few dissatisfied followers over on Facebook. - From: Grren Streak

My wife got a call from Green Streak offering discounted deals on water, electricity, boilers and such. They asked for £299 in advance but said it’d be refundable after about 4 to 8 weeks. She gave them her card info back in Feb this year, but since then, not a peep. No updates, no contact, nothing at all. I’m left with no way to reach them and at 80 years old with the usual memory gaps, I’m wondering if we’ve been taken for a ride here?

My wife received an unsolicited phone call from a company called Green Streak, offering half-price deals on water and electricity, as well as a new boiler installation. They requested an upfront payment of £299, which they claimed would be refunded within 4 to 5 weeks. She provided her card information, and that's where it all ended-this was back in February. Since then, we've heard absolutely nothing at all. I don't have a contact number for them either. At 80 years old and with my share of health concerns, I can't help but wonder if we've fallen victim to a scam. What are your thoughts? - Caller: name and number as stated above.

Oh, how amusing! I can't help but ponder whether your other half ever glances at the reverse side of the water bill. You know, where it explicitly mentions, somewhere around page four, that individuals might actually qualify for a discount on their bill concerning surface water if it’s not channeled into the sewer system? Something along those lines, if memory serves me right. It strikes me as a tad implausible that they would simply hang up on that. Honestly, folks, do take a peek at the back of your statements; I recently bagged a refund of a hundred quid that way!

It's rather fascinating that the two most recent remarks were shared just yesterday. One can't help but suspect that they might be fabricated, possibly the work of someone harbouring a vendetta and lacking the more constructive pursuits in life-perhaps an ex-member of staff with a chip on their shoulder or simply someone who's feeling rather despondent???? There are numerous other con artists about, such as SynergyHES and REC-Audits, both hailing from Swansea, to mention a couple. It's all rather laughable, to be honest! They all seem to purport to offer the same services, don’t they?

After coming across a specific post, I've reported it to the authorities, who assured me they will reach out to the individual responsible via the IP address linked to the device. It's absolutely revolting to think that a bitter former employee would stoop so low as to make such vulgar comments.

I wouldn’t trust a single favourable review you come across regarding this outfit; it’s quite likely penned by the director or their mates! If you take a moment to contact trading standards, they’ll advise you to steer clear of this lot. Rumour has it they’re already on the path to shutting their doors for good. Whatever you do, do not part with your cash; they’re bound to go into liquidation at any moment. Scammers invariably face the music eventually. - Caller: Green Streak Energy

Had a rather peculiar phone call from these folks earlier today. They asserted they were affiliated with Welsh Water - funny thing is, they couldn't even utter the Welsh name for it, which had me in stitches! To top it off, I've had the same number since I moved a decade ago, yet they were still calling as if the old address was valid. What a right shambles! Definitely a dodgy operation if you ask me. - caller: Green Streak

How many more calls do these individuals need to make before they grasp the situation? I'm absolutely fed up with their incessant nuisance rings - it’s utterly maddening!

I don’t reckon the EPC is what gives you access to the funding; I believe it’s referred to as a GDA.

Blimey, it seems like you've got a rather thrilling existence if you're consistently posting under various guises on here! Are you perhaps someone who's had a bit of a rough deal with this business? If not, why not find a different thread to trawl? It’s a tad tiresome, to be honest. One has to wonder if you’re not secretly affiliated with a competitor... How amusing! Personally, I've noticed a similar pattern of negativity across several reviews, and it truly appears to be the same individual disparaging every positive comment that pops up. Fancy getting a hobby?

I just received a rather peculiar phone call. The caller was eager to chat with my husband about an outstanding water bill in Swansea. However, considering we don't reside there, I informed them that it didn't concern us at all. Quite the bewildering misunderstanding, wouldn't you say?

Dear Carol, Just a quick note to clarify things-regardless of the route you take, there’s definitely a fee involved. To secure funding for enhancing your home's energy efficiency, you’ll need to obtain a certificate that acts as proof of eligibility. Be prepared to shell out about two to three hundred quid for it, irrespective of which provider you choose.

It's quite pricey and there's no assurance that it will work out. I'm rather sceptical of those who ring out of the blue. It would be more cost-effective to do your own research and cover the EPC fees. There's a wealth of information available for free; just give the Citizens Advice Bureau a ring-why spend money unnecessarily? - caller: Swansea Green Streak

Last week, my father received a rather dodgy phone call. He unknowingly ended up sharing his card details and was charged £299.99. I'm still a bit puzzled about what exactly these people were offering, but it appeared to involve his bills in some way. Naturally, I wasn't pleased that they’d taken his information, so I promptly phoned them up, cancelled the whole affair, and managed to get a full refund for him.

Payment required for claims. I have my doubts about the positive reviews, as they appear to be promotional ploys, echoing similar sentiments across various platforms.

To claim your compensation, you'll need to pay a fee. - Caller: Green Streak

I was presented with the chance to recover £250 due to the issue of grey water being discharged into the sewage system. Quite the unexpected turn of events regarding our water charges!

It's proper surprising to see that you can get a free boiler if your household earnings are below £15,000, and yet you can still purchase a home. Brilliant, isn't it?

It's always wise to look into things a bit more thoroughly before you attempt to back up your argument, don’t you think?

A few weeks back, I had a chat with this firm while I was preparing to sell my property. I needed to obtain an energy performance certificate, and they sorted that out for me. On top of that, I've recently secured funding for a complimentary boiler in my new place! It seems like there's a tendency for folks to share negative experiences on these platforms, but I felt compelled to share a positive one since this company has truly delivered.

I received a phone call from this company and initially chose to decline their proposal. However, upon doing a bit of research, I stumbled upon quite a bit of positive feedback regarding them. So, I took the plunge and called them back, thinking it might be worth exploring. Once I have some results, I'll make sure to provide a fair assessment of my experience. I’ve also been perusing various forums, so I’ll keep everyone updated with my findings. - Caller: Green Streak Energy.

If you’re considering it, do share your thoughts on Utilities Cost Savers and Residential Redress. They’re all under the helm of the director at Green Streak. It’s rather amusing, really-not quite the catchy tune of 'New York, New York', but they sure make a statement worth repeating... three times over! The phone call came from none other than Green Streak themselves!

Constantly ringing and raising valid concerns regarding the necessity of a landline number. It’s quite the clever tactic to keep their number under wraps while hesitating to provide their landline address. They seem to pay little mind to the Telephone Preference Service, and when pushed for clarification, they can be rather brusque. Yet again, it appears to be a caller hailing from Swansea, representing something like the workers' advisory line, particularly concerning hearing impairments in the workplace-identified as Green Streak.

TPS Breach. Seems a bit dodgy that this company, barely a month old, is suddenly getting rave reviews. It’s quite probable they’re raking in cash by helping folks with forms-think along the lines of PPI claims, accident compensation, or even passport applications. Honestly, you’d be better off tackling it on your own!

I recently had a rather positive experience with Welsh Water regarding some rebates and refunds for my gas and electric bills. They were exceptionally helpful and even provided me with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). I also managed to get a brand-new boiler installed, which I really needed! Just a heads up, there is a fee involved, but if you take advantage of the government funding aimed at improving your home's energy efficiency-as I did with my new boiler-they actually reimburse that charge. To be fair, I initially thought it was a bit pricey, but now that I’ve had my money back and then some, I can't complain at all. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the service! - Caller: Green Streak Energy, Swansea

When you peruse various forums dedicated to phone numbers, you’ll stumble upon a slew of favourable reviews touting impressive results. Curiously enough, most of these remarks appear to have been left around February 26, 2015, which is intriguing given that the company was only established in January of the same year. It certainly raises some questions about their miraculous effectiveness. Ultimately, it's up to you to form your own conclusions; after all, there's not much you can't figure out on your own. - Caller: Green Streak

Dear Carl, I hope you're well! I couldn't help but wonder about something you mentioned regarding receiving a refund. You stated you had already got your money back from them. I’m just a bit inquisitive - have those funds actually landed in your account? They’ve told me that once I’ve had my windows and other bits sorted, a full refund will be on its way. Just trying to gauge if you've had a smooth experience or if it's been a bit of a faff for you. Many thanks, David.

I received a call to arrange an Energy Performance Certificate and a thorough home assessment. After completing it, I’m thrilled to say I’ve qualified for the Water Assist programme! My annual water bill, which used to be a whopping £490, has now plummeted to just £256. On top of that, I’ve had cavity wall insulation installed and a brand-new boiler fitted, all at no cost to me. What a fantastic outcome - I’m absolutely chuffed! Cheers!

CAUTION: I’ve just had a rather dodgy call from someone claiming to represent Green Streak. They were offering me a refund on my water bill, but when I queried why Welsh Water hadn't informed me, they responded that they were short-staffed. When I mentioned I’d reach out to Welsh Water myself, they abruptly hung up on me. Be wary and don’t share any personal information over the phone! The number to watch out for is 01792 917768.

I received a call from this number not long ago. I tried calling it back, but all I got was a recorded message telling me to wait for an agent. I ended up hanging up instead.

A call came through on the landline today. I answered with a cheerful 'hello', but there was complete silence on the other end.

I answered the phone thinking it might be someone local since it had a Swansea area code, but surprise, surprise - there was no one on the line! Yet another bloomin' nuisance call. Honestly, even though we've registered with the Telephone Preference Service, those pesky calls keep coming from UK numbers. What a right pain!

I had a chap with a Welsh lilt telling me he was affiliated with Green Streak, claiming he could secure a refund on my water bill. I appreciated the offer, but I informed him that I’d prefer to handle the matter directly with Welsh Water.

Water tariff refund. The firm is assisting in obtaining a reimbursement from Welsh Water.

I don't usually engage in phone transactions (my grandson has strict rules about that), but I must admit, the chap on the other end was incredibly convincing and made me quite comfortable about sharing my information, despite the £299 fee. He went on about how he was calling from a BT registered landline and that it was somehow "traceable," and whilst I was hesitant, there was something about his tone that felt sincere. In hindsight, I’m rather pleased I went ahead with it because just this week, I received a £70 cheque from Dwr Cymru and £639 from Swalec! They've genuinely helped me save some funds, and I even obtained a certificate for government funding which they assured me I could use, promising I'd reclaim my admin costs. Initially, I was rather doubtful, thinking it might be a ruse, yet they've been absolutely reliable, always available on the phone when I needed assistance. I can now say I wholeheartedly recommend Green Streak Energy!

I picked up a call at around 2:20 this afternoon. A woman on the other end inquired after my husband by name. When I mentioned he wasn't around at the moment, she abruptly hung up! What a daft thing to do!

Absolutely brilliant! Now I can place a block on that nuisance. One less bother to contend with!
