Got a call from Yu Energy asking for my meter reading because of some technical glitch. After that, they tried to tell me about their updated prices.

Got a call from 01862440048, they said they were from EDF, which is our energy supplier. I told them we’re not with EDF, and then they started listing a bunch of other suppliers they supposedly worked for. I just had my dog bark into the phone and they quickly ended the call, haha. Total scam alert!

Got a voicemail that just said ‘Lisa’ - not sure if that’s who called or who they wanted. Ended up blocking and reporting the number.

They said they were calling from my existing supplier, trying to get me to give out my meter info. I just told them to kindly jog on!

There's no way this is legit. Why would anyone leave a voicemail with like 30 seconds of just call centre chatter in the background? Seems totally fishy to me.

Got a call but no one spoke, no voicemail dropped either. Feels like one of those dodgy utility scams.

Got a call from some dodgy lot claiming to be about car finance. If you’re calling from Scotland, the least you could do is sound a bit Scottish, you daft muppets.

They try to fool you by using your company’s name, postcode and even the director’s name, making it seem like they're really from British Gas. They’ll ask about the bills from previous months, trying to figure out how much we usually pay, so they can come up with a similar figure. It’s a total scam, so watch out! Their approach is really controlling, pushy and full of assumptions, definitely very sneaky.

I got a call from some bloke claiming to be from my energy supplier, Yorkshire Gas & Power, but it was a total con. He kept going on about the war as a reason to increase the standing charges in my contract. When I asked where he was ringing from, he said London, but the number shows it's from Tain, a tiny village up in Scotland! Yorkshire Gas & Power are based in Yorkshire, not London or Scotland, so it was obvious a scam. Watch out, these people are just out to rip you off!

I got a call from someone claiming to be with Engie, but it felt totally shady. When I asked them some basic questions they were supposed to answer, they just ended the call on me. Really watch out for these sorts of scams!

Had a chat with someone called 'Eric' who seemed keen to sort out my contract. When I asked who he was with, he just said "your supplier." Tried to get his direct number so I could ring back, but he wasn’t too keen to give it straight away. Eventually he did give me a genuine number for my supplier, which checked out. But the number he rang me from? After looking it up here, I’m pretty sure Eric is calling from some call centre in Asia πŸ˜‚

Got a ring from this number today, wasn't saved in my contacts though. My phone flagged it as spam, so I ignored it. They didn't leave any voicemail or anything.

Picked up the phone and the guy started with "evening mate, how ya doin?" I immediately asked what the call was about, thinking it was dodgy. He just sighed and then cut me off straight away.

Keeps calling me like twice daily, always looking for the business owner and saying they're from some energy company. Proper annoying!

I didnt answer but kept getting calls around 5pm, which seems to be the usual time scams happen. Maybe it’s due to time zones over in Asia or Africa or something?

That bloke spoke with an Indian accent and honestly, he was struggling to get his words out right.
