I’m with Lowri Beck and we do meter readings and set up smart meters for loads of different energy companies. We’re not scammers at all. Sometimes if the call suddenly ends, it’s just a glitch with the system - it can freeze and drop the line.

I have no clue who called. All I heard was some random background noise. If this was a proper meter reading firm, they wouldn't be ringing this number - it's my work phone and isn’t linked to anything to do with managing the building. They shouldn't even have this contact, musta just been hoping to score some business by luck.

I received a call from this number, asking me to provide readings from my utility meters. I found their request a bit dodgy, especially since they couldn’t properly identify themselves or the account holder. Consequently, I’ve decided to block them outright.

Got a call from this number today but as soon as I answered, it just cut off. Total waste of time. Had to check out Lowri Beck’s site to figure out what was going on.

When I received a call requesting my meter reading, I immediately suspected it might be a bit dodgy-especially since I had shared my address and date of birth. A bit unnerved, I decided to ring 1471 for the number and then contacted N Power directly to verify if the call was authentic. The representative checked the number and confirmed they were indeed a legitimate firm collecting readings for energy suppliers, which put my mind at ease. All's well that ends well!

Ah, interesting! From what I've gathered in previous comments, it appears that this number is linked to someone called Lowry Beck, who claims to be calling on behalf of your energy supplier. Personally, I tend to avoid answering calls from unfamiliar numbers, particularly when there's no ID displayed. In fact, I always take the time to look up any suspicious number online first to find out who's behind it. If they keep ringing despite my lack of response, I finally pick up and let them know exactly what I think!

This bloke rang me asking for my meter readings, saying he was from npower. I told him I upload mine to their website every month already. He insisted they need a few extra ones annually. Feels like they’re trying to save money by skipping the usual meter-check visits. Honestly, I don't really trust handing over meter details to just anyone who calls up out of the blue.
9 years
Not sure whats going on but as soon as i answered they just hung up!.. if this lot are legit like some folks claim, why would they just cut the call?.. I usually submit our meter readings online and sometimes an official meter reader comes by, which they did not long ago. I’m not giving any info unless they get in touch properly through our energy provider like they always do.

Beware! If you divulge any details, they'll change your provider without your consent. These are nothing but crooks! Time to put them on my blocked list.

Received a call today and my husband, not recognising who was on the other end, ended up giving them a meter reading. I usually handle that sort of thing online!

Lowri Beck works as one of the Meter Operators and installers for energy companies (known as MOPs or Meter Operators). They’re hired by your supplier to manage the meters they cover and must follow the legal rules about meter safety that the supplier needs to stick to, so they'll keep trying to contact you. They’re basically working on behalf of your supplier, kinda like a contractor or consultant.

Lowri Beck. Genuine company working for my energy provider, came round to fit my smart meter and take a meter reading. I double checked with my supplier, so all good no issues.

I got a call today that said it was from them, so I pressed 1 but nobody picked up. From what I’ve seen in the reviews though, it seems like a legit company. I usually just put my meter readings in online, so I don’t really need any help from someone else.

I received a missed call from this number earlier today, but there was no voicemail. A while back, I provided a meter reading to someone, though I didn’t catch their number. It’s possible it was from the same company. After looking into these reports, I’ve chosen to block the number, so cheers for that! They had inquired if the meter reader had visited recently, and everything seemed fine. My energy supplier had apparently instructed them to look into it. We figured they were merely verifying that the meter readings were accurate, so I went ahead and shared the reading, but honestly, I couldn't see how this could benefit them in any way. Quite puzzling, really!

I gave them a bell to discover who had tried to reach me, and what do you know? They requested my meter reading! I explained that I’ve already provided that since the meter is checked in person on a regular basis. They then inquired about my energy supplier, to which I admitted I wasn’t sure; so, I hung up and promptly blocked the number. Honestly, I can do without unsolicited calls at eight in the evening asking for such information. I'm considering lodging a complaint with my supplier, as it seems they've let my information slip through the cracks.

Got a call today from someone claiming to be npower, asking for meter readings. I said mine were updated just a couple weeks ago, but she insisted on checking again to "sort things out on their end". She asked for my address and other info for security, but I told her she should already have all that. Wasn’t keen to give out any details. I explained I handle npower direct, so why am I being hassled by a third party? If they want my readings, they should get them from my supplier.

Received a call earlier, they wanted my gas and electric meter readings. Was a bit suspicious, so I rang the co-op myself, and they confirmed it was legit and from their end. No cause for concern, apparently.

CAUTION!

These individuals claimed to be representatives from a green energy company, insisting they required a meter reading. I typically submit mine online, and it's not due until the month's close. It's quite baffling how they obtain personal information, especially since I’m ex-directory. I reached out to our energy provider, and they’re well aware of this con, yet there's little they can do to help. Just disregard their calls.

This bloke said he was calling from Co-op energy about taking gas and electric meter readings. He asked when an automatic reader could come round, but my husband just said it’s a bit hit and miss as we're often out. It was the last call I got yesterday, so I thought that sounded a bit dodgy and dialled 1471 to check. Turns out, it wasn’t legit. The caller said his name was Garry, but definitely didn’t have a Wigan accent. I’ll ring the Co-op myself today to sort it out. Next step, I’m blocking this number. The number was 1942614100.

Received a call from a meter reader named Lowri Beck. Rang my utility provider and they said since I’ve got a smart meter, no one needs to come check the meters. Voicemail left was suspicious so I just blocked the number and deleted the message. Feels like a dodgy scam to me.

Yeah, this number rang me today, and we've had a few other 'energy firms' pretending to be from NPower asking for meter readings. Our readings are all logged online with NPower and are up-to-date. Just last week, I spoke to NPower on the phone about these calls and told them to note it down that we won't be giving meter readings to anyone who calls like this. They said they’ve put it on record and agreed we shouldn’t have to send readings through any third party anyway. Honestly, these annoying calls are a right pain, so I just ignore them now.

This number seems like a total scam and such a pain - I even checked with NPower and they had no clue who it was. Best thing is to save it in your phone and just don't pick up, or block it if you can. It’s a shame there’s so many of these scammers, but if we just ignore them, hopefully they’ll get tired of bothering people and stop!

01942 614100 rang me this evening 10/4/17 saying they needed to verify my meter readings. I told them I just do it online, like many others here.

Someone from my energy provider, isupply, rang to get a meter reading. I told them I usually do it online myself. He asked if now was a bad time and offered to ring back later. I said I’d sort it online when I had a chance, and he was really courteous about it.

I highly doubt that these individuals are affiliated with N Power, as that’s not the energy supplier I use. It seems to me that they might be playing a game of getting ahead of the queue before you’ve even had a chance to submit your meter readings online, subsequently billing suppliers in the process. As soon as I got their call, I made sure to block their number right away.

This is what Green Star Energy told me.----------Lowri Beck are the folks who read our meters, and we hire them to do it for our customers. By law, they must check your meters at least twice annually. My response---------- But if they’re ringing me up, they obviously aren’t physically reading the meters, so are they just getting paid for doing nothing? Feels like just another annoying nuisance call in the endless stream I keep getting.

I keep receiving incessant calls from Lowri Beck, and it’s truly becoming a nuisance. They constantly say they represent various companies, yet I have no affiliation with any of them. My meter readings are all current, and there's absolutely no need for anyone to enter the premises to check them. It’s getting rather tiresome, to say the least!

I've received numerous calls from this outfit insisting they must check my meters, which frankly is absurd since I've submitted all my readings recently. If I don’t pick up, they never bother to leave a message, and when I do engage, they refuse to properly identify who they are. I'm on the TPS list, but it makes me suspect they might be flogging my number off to dodgy firms, given the surge in unwanted calls I’ve been getting lately.

I received a phone call this evening from a lady claiming to be from Npower, asking for a meter reading. When I mentioned that I usually submit my readings whenever they're requested, she insisted that they needed an "extra reading." I was rather perplexed and inquired about the significance of that, but she abruptly hung up on me. Quite odd behaviour!

Received a call around half past five this evening, claiming to be from N Power, my energy provider. They inquired about my meter reading, which I duly provided. The chap mentioned that I wouldn’t need to get in touch with them again for another year. Everything seemed perfectly fine on my end. He even recited the last few digits of my postcode, so that instilled a sense of assurance. No issues at all; I would deem it legitimate.

Received a call on the 3rd of February from someone purporting to be from Bristol Energy, my energy supplier. They were asking for my meter readings, yet the call came from a number registered in Wigan, while both my energy provider and I are situated in Bristol! As I consistently receive email reminders on the 6th of each month- which I promptly respond to-there was really no need for this phone call. I've since reached out to my energy provider to ensure that these unsolicited calls cease immediately.

But the call came from a number in Wigan, and both me and Bristol Energy are Bristol-based! When I looked online, it seems it's a company called Lowri Beck. I always get email reminders on the 6th of each month from Bristol Energy and update my readings then, so the call felt pointless. I've reached out to Bristol Energy asking them to stop these calls.

Got a call earlier from this number asking for our meter readings. Like someone else mentioned, our gas meter is outside and it was chucking it down! The lady on the phone was a bit hard to understand but said she’d call back once I’d gone out to check the gas meter and got on a chair with a torch to see the electricity one. Everything was sorted fine and I reckon the call was legit. Still, if energy firms really need these readings, why don’t they just send a proper meter reader? My only issue was they rang before but didn’t leave a message - quite an unnerving silent call, really.

I received a rather peculiar call this evening, with someone requesting that I provide an electric meter reading over the phone. Now, I’ve never had my energy supplier ask for that sort of information this way. Given that it was lashing down with rain and completely dark outside, I politely declined, explaining the situation. I mentioned I’d send the reading through the usual channels come morning. The call came in around 5pm.

Got a call from a company called Lorri Beck around 7.45pm saying they were from Npower asking for a meter reading. I told them it was dark outside and they seemed sorry about that. I said no thanks. When I asked if the online reading I submitted at the weekend hadn’t gone through, they confessed they weren’t actually with Npower and couldn’t see online readings, just work as a meter reading firm. They apologised, but honestly I think it was a pointless and annoying call.

Received yet another call from a call centre in India, this time inquiring about our meter reading. To make matters worse, our meter is situated outside, and at 7pm, it’s pitch black. Frankly, we aren’t particularly fond of the endless barrage of these calls. When's this feeble government going to take action to safeguard us from these bothersome foreign call centres and actually bring some jobs back to the UK? Oh, hold on, using the term 'British' might be frowned upon these days, wouldn't want to offend anyone, how very woke of us!

Yeah, they’re a legit firm called Lowry Beck, who do meter readings for different energy companies - I just got confirmation from my own supplier. Seems like they don’t have as much info on my account as my actual energy provider does. The first person I spoke to at the energy company wasn’t sure about them, but the second person at the call centre did confirm it. My husband gave the electricity reading but chose not to go outside in the rain for the gas one. They weren’t at all pushy though.

About a week ago, a Lowri Beck meter reader came to my place and the very next day I submitted my dual fuel readings online. The meter guy only checked the electric meter, even though my supplier covers both electric and gas. Seems like they might be planning to chase up the gas reading later, but I’ve already provided that. Bit of a mess if you ask me.
