Phone number ☎️ 02008882174 👆 is reported as a frequent source of scam calls pretending to be from energy or meter reading companies. Callers often fail to verify correct account details and use aggressive or condescending tactics to obtain electricity meter readings or payment information.

Many callers have been identified as operating from overseas call centres, often using number spoofing to appear local. Recipients are advised not to engage, to register with the Telephone Preference Service to minimise calls, and to report suspicious activity. It is essential to verify any contact through official channels and never provide personal or account details to unsolicited contacts.

1 yearI got a call from someone saying they were with the meter reading team, but they couldn’t tell me the right address they were referring to.Department of Meter Readings1 yearGot a call claiming to be from BT, but it was clearly just a scam. They tried to trick me into giving my details. Definitely a spam caller.British Telecom1 yearGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from Meter Readings UK, which I have never come across before. He wanted the readings for our business meter, but I just played along and gave him the runaround until he lost interest.Meter ReadingsUK1 year#### FOUL PLAY IMITATING MY ELECTRIC PROVIDER - A COMPLETE CON!1 yearAbsolute rip off artists!!!1 yearGot a call from some bloke saying he was from EDF, saying there was a problem with my bill. Complete scam, I just ended the call straight away!EDF1 yearSCAM Got a call from some bloke asking for my electricity meter reading, but he didn’t even say which company he was with. Straight away I knew it was dodgy. Told him we have smart meters anyway. He got really pushy and said our readings hadn’t been sent for months, like 3 or 4. When I told him that was nonsense since I check my account online, he just talked over me all rude and patronising. I made it clear I wasn’t giving him anything as I was certain it was a con. Ended the call with a few colourful words and slammed the phone down.1 yearIgnore scammers and never engage with them. Put your number down on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) at https://www.tpsonline.org.uk to cut down on unwanted calls from dodgy cold callers. Once your number is registered, you can report these scammy calls straight to the TPS. If you’re on the TPS list, it’s against the law for companies to call you out of the blue. Registering and reporting is really simple, so definitely get it done!Telephone Preference ServiceorgTPS1 yearGot a call from a man with an Indian accent, but I couldn’t make out a word he was saying. It felt like a typical scam, so I just hung up straight away.India1 yearI got a call about switching my utility supplier, but something felt off. They were pushing me hard to sign up right away. Pretty sure it was just a sneaky scam trying to trick me into giving my details. Be careful if you get calls like that!1 yearGot these annoying calls from people claiming to be from the electricity company, but it’s obviously a scam. Signing up for the TPS doesn’t help one bit with these bunch - they’re probably calling from India using VOIP and faking UK phone numbers, so tracing them is nearly impossible unless you know how to hack their systems. Until the phone companies sort out number spoofing, these cheats will keep getting away with this sort of trickery, especially with the new push button banking scams going around.Telephone Preference ServiceTPSUK1 yearI rang my missus but she just hung up on me. Every time I ask for the password, it seems to get them all riled up.1 yearAvoid chatting with scammers at all costs. Make sure you put your phone number on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) by visiting https://www.tpsonline.org.uk. This helps cut down on unwanted cold calls and gives you the chance to report those dodgy calls from illegal cold callers. Once your number’s on the TPS list, it’s against the law for these cold callers to contact you. Signing up and reporting is super straightforward and really helps tackle these nuisance calls.Telephone Preference ServiceukTPS1 yearSo, this lady saying her name was "Mary" called me, but her accent was totally off, claiming she was from British Gas and needed a meter reading. I asked her which meter she meant, and she said electric. Problem is, British Gas don’t supply our electricity. I kept grilling her for account info, and after a bit she just ended the call. Definitely fishy.MaryBritish Gas1 yearI suspected it was a scam straight away... these days, a lot of 020 numbers are dodgy. The caller started with the typical "Good morning sir, how are you today?" and I always reply with "I was fine until you rang." He attempted to ignore my reply, but I called him a no-good scammer and told him to get lost. As I was ending the call, he kept saying "Brother, brother," but I told him he’s no brother of mine - probably not even human!3 yearsGot a missed call earlier. Tried calling back but it went on ringing forever. Feels like it could be one of those scam calls.Submit Your Own Report (020 0888 2174)
