8 monthsI got calls from 01794 470148 and 01643 370187, both part of the same scam. They said they were from National Grid and that our smart meters were faulty and had to be swapped out. Just ended the call and blocked the numbers straight away.National Grid11 monthsReceived a call from someone pretending to be with National Grid, total scam.National Grid11 monthsGot a call from a woman named Marriy claiming to be from National Grid, saying they needed to replace our meter and wanted to arrange a date. The call showed up from this number 02030231113, which was linked to someone called Sheerat Fatima. When I asked for a callback number, she gave me 02081330093, ext 501, but then said she had no idea who Sheerat was. I work at a large charity, and anything like meter replacements are sorted out by our facilities team, not random calls. Not sure what the scam was exactly, I said I’d ring them back but never did.MarriyNational GridSheerat FatimaSheerat11 monthsThese lot called saying my electric meter was due for an upgrade, but it's all a load of rubbish. Just trying to get your personal info, watch out for them! I’ve blocked the number now.12 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be National Grid, said they needed to swap out my electric meter. They just wouldn’t take no for an answer!National Grid1 yearGot a call from someone claiming my electricity meter was broken and had to be changed!2 yearsGot a call today from someone saying they were from EDF, the energy firm I use. They wanted me to send a photo of my meter reading over WhatsApp. They called me three separate times today and also tried ringing yesterday. I wasn’t sure if it was legit, so I just hung up. Cheers, John. John Bird Studio-Art Gallery, Bawtry, Doncaster.EDFWhatsAppJohn. John Bird StudioArt GalleryBawtryDoncaster2 yearsSome bloke called 'Sean' saying he was from the national grid and needed to swap our meter, even telling us exactly when he'd turn up. He just rushed through it all without a pause. Thing is, the national grid never does meter changes - it's always the utility providers that handle that. I told him this and hung up straight away. Honestly, sounds like a classic scam to me, just full of lies.National Grid2 yearsSo some dude called saying that someone has to come over to my shop to switch my Electricity Board, and that my power’s gonna be cut for about 40 minutes.2 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from National Grid. They asked for all our account info supposedly to switch our gas and electric meters. Felt a bit dodgy to me.2 yearsSomeone rang up saying they were from National Grid and said they needed to swap our meter. They kept asking loads of pointless questions. I’d say don’t give out any details at all.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from National Grid, but it felt totally like a scam. Pretty annoying how they try to pull this trick. Would definitely say watch out and don’t believe everything you hear!National Grid2 yearsDefinitely a scam. Someone called saying my meter needed replacing, so I chatted with a supposed staff member and arranged a date for it. But then I got an email and reached out to my energy company, who confirmed everything was fine on their end. When I tried to reply to that email to cancel, it bounced back saying the address doesn’t exist. The email also asked for stuff like a photo of my meter and who my provider is. I didn’t share any of that info, obviously.3 yearsJust got a call from someone pretending to be from the National Grid. Total scam, don’t fall for it!3 yearsI got a call claiming to be from National Grid, but when I phoned National Grid myself, they told me they don’t handle meter changes - it's the energy supplier who does that. Definitely a scam.National Grid3 yearsI reckon it was that National Grid scam everyone’s talking about. No idea how they wanted to get money from me, cause I just ended the call straight away.3 yearsI reckon this is that National Grid scam call that’s been going around to loads of people. Not sure what they wanted from me, but I cut the call off straight away so didn’t get a chance to find out.3 yearsI suspected straight away it was one of those spam calls, especially when he refused to share his number. I just messed about with him, pretending I didn’t understand English and feeding him nonsense. Total waste of time!3 yearsTheir main office is actually located at wc2n5eh!3 yearsGot one of those scam calls again today.3 yearsSame old trick. They said they needed to swap my meter too, back on the 5th of Feb.3 yearsTotal scam! Once I started questioning him more, he lost his temper and ended up calling me stupid.3 yearsThey rang up saying they were gonna switch out my meter... seemed a bit dodgy to me.3 yearsToday I got a call from someone claiming to be with the National Grid saying my electricity meter needed replacing and said they'd be round on 5th February, then asked for the new meter number. I said I was tied up and asked for a callback number. After looking it up, I realised it was a scam. I rang "Harry" back to cancel the appointment but he got really pushy, so I just hung up. He called me about 20 times after that, and each time I ended the call. Eventually he stopped bothering me!National GridHarry3 yearsHe was definitely trying to con me.3 yearsHe began cursing once I kept pushing him. Total scam.3 yearsI just got a call from someone saying they were from National Grid, saying our electric meter needs changing because it’s faulty and that I might get some money back. They tried to connect me to a ‘secure line’ to get more info, but I told them I’m not the business partner and that I’d need to speak with the owner first. They kept asking for my date of birth, which I didn’t give. They gave me a different number to ring back, which wasn’t the same as the one they called from. I looked up both numbers online, and neither had any links to National Grid - turns out they’re listed as scam calls. I’ve blocked them now, can’t wait to see the email they promised! 😂National Grid3 yearsThey seemed really impolite and wouldn't give any real details about themselves. I don’t think they were who they claimed to be at all.3 yearsGot a call from a guy named Sam about changing my meter, left a message and then I called him back on 0208 1330093 ext 7012. His English was really hard to understand and he wouldn't clearly say why the meter had to be changed, just kept saying it was faulty. Felt a bit iffy about the whole thing and told him to email me details before I agreed to anything. Later, I checked with my supplier and they said they never asked for a new meter and that I should just ignore calls from that number.Sam3 yearsHey, I got a random call from 02820539011 the other day. The bloke said his name was Mr Azan Ali and claimed he was ringing from the National Grid. He said there was some email about my electric meter leaking units and that they wanted to swap it for a smart meter. I told him straight up I didn’t want any smart meter and asked how he even knew the meter was leaking. He then asked me to write down a new meter number and tell it to his manager for registration. Before he put me through, I asked for a contact number and he gave me 02081330093. When the manager came on and I questioned him, the call just dropped. I looked up the number online and found out it’s a scam. My advice - always question these unexpected calls, they can’t be trusted.Azan AliNational Grid3 yearsThis number rang me up, with a bloke claiming an engineer was scheduled to replace our meter on a certain day. When I questioned who he was and which company he represented, he got all dodgy and sounded quite pushy. I asked him multiple times to spell out the company’s name, but he just couldn’t manage it. Felt really fishy to me. Then he started probing for details about the manager, like their name and gender, and got annoyed when I told him we’d contact them if it was relevant.Ryan3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with the national grid and needed to swap our electricity meter. It just so happened we’d had a smart meter installed the week before, so he already had my mobile number before I even thought it was dodgy. Total scam if you ask me.National Grid3 yearsThis number called me, claiming they had to swap out my meter and set a day to come round. When the day came, no one showed. I called them back, but the English was awful, even though they gave names like Alan and butchered the name of my town. They couldn’t even get the NATO alphabet right. Then suddenly they started talking about payments. Told them where to go. Totally a scam, no doubt about it.AlanNATO3 yearsGot a call from someone named Ibrahim, said he was ringing from National Grid about our electricity meter needing replacement, mentioned the power might be off for a whole day. I’m in Birmingham, and he was eager to schedule it. Didn’t want to send any proof or email confirmation though. Left a return number as 02081330093, but the call came from 02080891785. He told me to reference his work ID, which was 7008. Felt a bit dodgy to me.IbrahimNational GridBirmingham3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Josh at National Grid saying our electricity meter had to be replaced and power would be shut off for about an hour. He asked for a contact number for our department to sort it out. When I said I wasn’t the right person, he gave me 02081330093 to ring back and to use his name as a reference. He also mentioned I’d need to provide ID and details. The call came through on our business line. Feels like a total scam to me.JoshNational Grid3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming our meter was broken and needed to be replaced - total scam, don’t fall for it!3 yearsGot a call on the business landline from a bloke called Ryan claiming to be from National Grid. He mentioned they needed to swap out our meter on a certain date and time but said we could reschedule if necessary. I told him I wasn't the one who could sort that and that I'd have to check with the owner. He gave me some reference numbers and a contact to pass on. His English wasn't the clearest. The call came from 020 81330093.RyanNational Grid3 yearsSomebody called saying they were from National Grid and needed to replace our electric meter.
