1 monthSo some bloke rang up sayin’ my electric meter had to be replaced. He asked for my mobile number, but I wasn’t givin’ that out! Still had a laugh telling him I’m proper excited about gettin’ a new meter 😂2 monthsI keep getting about three calls a week from Eon, but it's definitely a scam.Eon3 monthsI got a call saying it was British Gas, but it turned out to be a total scam, so watch out!British Gas3 monthsSo I got a call from someone saying they were with British Gas. When I asked for proof, they kept saying they were real and promised to send an email and ring me back. But I never got any email at all. Feels like they were just pretending to be them.British Gas3 monthsGot a phone call supposedly from British Gas, but I reckon it was a dodgy scam.British Gas4 monthsGot a phone call from some bloke claiming to be from British Gas about swapping our electric meter? Sounded dodgy to me (obvs no). I asked a few questions but he just said they'd put me through to a manager then hung up before doing so. Total SCAM, stay well clear!British Gas5 monthsHonestly, was a complete rip-off. They claimed to be calling from my gas and electricity company saying my meter was due an upgrade and that I should switch to a cheaper plan. Total nonsense.5 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas about switching our meter. They never said who they were, just went straight to "Hello, how are you, ma'am?" Put them on hold quickly to check the number, and as soon as I worked out it was dodgy, they just dropped the call. Pretty clear sign of a scam if you ask me. Watch out, folks!British Gas5 monthsThe bloke starts off with “Curry eater…hello sir, how ya doing today?” (You can just tell what’s coming). I said I was doing great, until you rang me! Then there was this weird quiet moment before he just got off the phone. Classic!Curry5 monthsSome bloke called "Abraham" rang me, claiming he was from British Gas. He said he was trying to switch us onto their British Gas Lite deal since we're a charity. Thing is, he couldn’t give our account number. We’d had a similar call earlier that was checked with British Gas by another lady, and it turned out to be a scam. Yet, this guy kept ringing again, like he was hoping to catch someone else out. Talk about stubborn!AbrahamBritish GasBritish Gas Lite5 monthsI got two calls from the same number. The first one, the bloke said he was Ben from British Gas. We went back and forth and then he passed me over to someone named Abraham who also insisted it was British Gas. After around 7 minutes, the line just went quiet, so I ended the call. The second time, the caller said his name was Alex and started off saying he was from British Gas too. When I didn’t buy it, he changed story to say he was an energy broker working for British Gas, and then switched again claiming to be from Love Energy Saving. Definitely feels like a dodgy scam call centre to me.BenBritish GasAbrahamAlexLove Energy Saving7 monthsI just ended the call straight away without saying a word. Didn't even give them a chance to get a word in.8 monthsGot three calls all back to back, didn't answer. Pretty sure it's just spam.8 monthsFor two days in a row I got calls about updating our British Gas and EDF meters, which was odd since we dont even have EDF. Pretty sure it was some dodgy call centre from India trying to scam us.EDFIndia8 monthsCalled me three times but ended up disconnecting.9 monthsSome bloke was whispering on the phone, saying he was going to come and track me down.9 monthsSaid they was from 'the meter company' and that my meter had to be changed as they couldn't get a reading. I have no energy account linked to my mobile number and never have done. Blocked the number straight away.10 monthsSomeone was calling me pretending to be from British Gas, but it felt really fishy. Glad I checked the number here before saying anything. Probably a scammer trying to get info.British Gas10 monthsGot calls two days in a row, each time pretending to be from British Gas one day and SSE the next - just some sneaky energy promo tactic.GotBritish GasSSE11 monthsSaid they were from Octopus Energy but came across as really rude and way too forceful, so probably not the real deal!Octopus EnergySubmit Your Own Report (020 4628 6742)
