8 yearsGot a call from a guy with a strong Asian accent, saying he was from some enquiry department. He claimed my electricity bills were too high and there was an issue with my meter. I kept asking which enquiry dept he was from, and after a while he said ‘national grid’. I told him national grid never calls people directly, and he then said he’d connect me to his manager. Obviously, I didn’t hang about waiting to speak to whoever was probably just nearby in the same room.National Grid8 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from the National Grid, but I wasn’t convinced it was legit.National Grid8 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from national grid saying my meter was faulty.
