I got a call from someone claiming to be my energy supplier. They actually named the right company, which caught me off guard, but my provider always contacts me by email, never phone. I didn’t share any details with them and told him flat out he was lying, but he kept trying to persuade me otherwise. I just said goodbye and hung up. They called me again immediately so I just ignored it. Proper scammers! They should find a proper job instead of hassling honest folks. Funny enough, they called again while I’m writing this!

I saw the call but chose not to pick up. Honestly, if it was important, they’d have left a message, so I’m glad I ignored it.

I keep getting calls from these lot claiming to be my energy provider, saying my rates are going way up. They tried to hook me up with another "supplier" who could cancel my contract for me. When I told them I'd just check online myself, they said I'd have to pay a fee to leave unless I took their offer. Proper annoying, and they're on the phone nearly every single week. The numbers calling me are 01862440045 and 01862440049.

told me my energy company had merged with another one and I had to go onto a new contract. Told them I wasn't going to do anything over the phone it would be in wrting as per normal, was told just this once "their superiors" had said they had to agree details via phone call and then they would follow up with a confirmation email. Told them I wasn't going to agree anything over the phone - definately a scam

This number has rung me a few times recently, saying they're from British Gas and that they provide our electricity. They tried to prove it by giving me a meter number, but it was clearly made-up. When I told the caller they weren’t actually my supplier and asked for my landlord’s details, I refused outright. After that, the person hung up pretty quickly.

Totally a scam, no doubt about it. They say they're from British Gas, but when you ring back, the number just shows up as Energy Services instead. Honestly, the authorities really need to step up and do something to keep folks safe from these dodgy scammers.

They just wouldn't give up, kept calling over and over, saying they're from British Gas Lite. The same bloke called me from Tain, Scotland, number 01862 440045. It's obvious it's a scam because they said my energy prices were going up even though I've got a fixed contract. He got proper rude when I told him I was tied up. I've blocked the number now.

Got a call today from someone asking to speak to the owner of the business, saying they were with the Positive Energy complaints team, checking if we had any unresolved complaints. We’ve had a few dodgy calls before from people pretending to be from Positive, so this felt a bit fishy to me. Plus, the number they rang from definitely isn’t one used by Positive. Seems like one of those scam calls to me.

Complete scam! They said they were calling from “the antique fair” which I found on this site, then asked “ma’am, are you with ‘my business name’?” I asked back “which antique fair exactly?” but she just kept repeating the same thing. After going back and forth a few times, she just abruptly ended the call! What a dodgy caller!! 😡🤣

Some bloke rang saying he was from British Gas and wanted to chat with the company’s owner straight away. When I asked for the owner’s name, he paused for ages before answering. I pointed out that if he had all the info on his screen, he should know the name right away. Then he suddenly shouted ‘HOLD ON,’ started banging on his keyboard, and gave me names of the old owners who left like 7 years ago. I told him sounded dodgy, like a scam, and he just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from Utility Warehouse, but when I rang back, it showed up as 'Energy Services'. I told him straight up that calling a number on the TPS list is illegal, so I wasted his time. Seems like just another spammer, but could be trying to gather info for a scam down the line, like finding out who supplies my energy then calling later pretending my payment didn't go through and demanding cash to stop a cutoff.

Spoke to a very polite lady with an Asian accent, bit hard to catch everything she said. Asked if I’m the account holder? Need a card reader? Plus questions about my bills and costs. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Someone rang our home phone. We didn’t pick up and got a long, confusing message that made no sense, with loads of office noise in the background. We tried everything to stop the call but it just kept going on and on. No clue who it was or what the point was, but it was a really bad experience overall.

Keeps ringing my work asking for the owner. When I ask who it is (after he told me off for hanging up just a moment ago) he won’t say and then accuses me of not being the owner hahahaha. In the end, he says he’s from our energy provider (he did get their name right, so maybe that’s where they got the info). Wants a meter reading but I can’t see how that’d help any scammer. Anyway, best to just ignore calls like this, and honestly, don’t be afraid to put them in their place if they ring again.
