We've been getting nonstop calls from someone claiming to be with Just Eat, sometimes ringing up every hour or so throughout the day. It’s really messing with our business since we’re busy trying to take real orders but keep getting interrupted. The caller switches numbers a lot, mostly landlines, but today they rang from a withheld number. The last one we caught was 07796847810.

Got a call from someone saying they were from the Meter Services team, telling me our meter was scheduled for replacement and that the electricity would be off for about 40 minutes. When I asked who had arranged the replacement, he mentioned NPower. Thing is, NPower has never been our energy provider. He then said sorry, claimed he had the wrong details, and asked me to wait while he checked again. Since we had our meter checked less than a year ago and definitely don’t use NPower, I called him out as a scammer and ended the call. The number they rang from was 02080978206.

Who even is this Eric?! This bloke kept ringing me, then later he had the cheek to ring my brother too. At first, he was all smooth and polite, but the minute we told him to jog on, he started shouting and losing it. Honestly, how are people like that even out there? So irritating. Just block these scammers already!!

Just had some dodgy bloke called Eric ring me up. Then, a few hours later, he hits up my brother too. At first, he sounded all nice and calm, but as soon as we told him to jog on, he started shouting and getting all aggressive. Don’t get why people like that are even allowed to call! Proper pain in the neck. Wish there was a way to block these muppets for good!

Who’s this Eric guy even?! Got a call from some dodgy bloke, then called my brother a few hours later. At first, he sounded all nice and formal, but the minute we said no, he started shouting and losing it. I really don’t get how people like that are allowed to hassle others. What a pain - seriously, these scammers need to be blocked everywhere!

Just got a call from someone saying my smart meter was broken. When I asked them who my supplier was, they had no clue. Told them to shove off right away. Another bloody scam trying to waste my time!

I got a ring from some bloke with a super thick accent who wanted to confirm when I could get my meter swapped out. As soon as I told him I wasn’t the one paying the bills, he just cut me off straight away. Made me think it was definitely some dodgy scam.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with the National Grid saying they needed to swap out my electric meter. After a bit, they tried to put me through to one of their supposed Senior Executive Team Members once they reckon you've got hooked.

Got a call saying they'd be swapping out my meter in a couple of weeks - I get calls like this all the time. The bloke gave me a number for the new meter, mumbling it with a strong accent, and then wanted me to jot it down. When I tried to repeat it, starting with "AU," he snapped, "No, it’s EU, are you thick or what?" After that, he asked if I was the one paying the bills, and as soon as I said no, he just cut me off. Weird experience!

This number has called me twice claiming my smart meter is faulty and needs replacing. They couldn’t provide the meter’s serial number or tell me which account it was linked to. The caller kept pushing me to set up an appointment, but I explained I needed to know which property they meant since I run a business and had to check if the rooms would be free. He brushed it off, saying the engineer would bring a generator. When I mentioned I couldn’t just allow a stranger to roam about where a toddler group meets, he got quite annoyed. He promised to send me an email with details, but nothing ever arrived. Today, I asked for everything to be handled by email, and he snapped, threatening to disconnect us for having a faulty meter before hanging up. If he’d given me the account or meter information, we might have sorted it. If he’d sent that email, we could’ve gone ahead. Since he failed on both counts, this feels like a proper SCAM.

This bloke was really cheeky, going on about changing my meter and saying he was from some main meter reading firm. Proper rude too. I told him off and hung up, but then he had the nerve to ring me back again! Didn’t pick up the second time though.

Totally a scam call. Got a ring at work from this number pretending to be our electric company, saying they were coming to swap out our meter. I said I had to check with our maintenance crew first to make sure someone’d be there, and asked for a contact number or email to follow up. They just cut off on me.

Someone called saying they were from Octopus Energy about changing our broken meter. They wouldn’t share any password, and they said they don’t speak to anyone who can’t provide one. Seems dodgy to me, so I reckon it’s a scam.

Got a call saying they were from British Gas about swapping out my meter since it was supposedly faulty. They mentioned I'd get a refund for the last three months, but said it couldn't go onto my account and would have to be paid directly into my bank. Of course, I didn't provide any banking info or personal details. Felt a bit suspicious to me.

A group pretending to represent Scottish Power keeps ringing me. At first, they ask loads of personal info, like your name and DOB, to ‘verify’ you, then they push for bank info. They are super stubborn and won’t stop phoning no matter how rude or nice you get. Best bet? Just block the number if you can. They sound pretty legit, which had me fooled at first. I told them my name, birthday and phone number without thinking much. It only got sketchy when they wanted my bank details that I realised something was off.

Someone rang me saying they were with an energy firm - eventually they admitted they worked for Scottish Power. I told them straight up I’m not a customer with them at all. When I asked for the caller’s name and phone number, the lady said her name was Sarah and gave me 02080978206. I flagged the call as spam, but it could very well have been a scam.
