6 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 Grid9 monthsReceived a call from someone pretending to be with National Grid, total scam.National Grid9 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 FatimaSheerat9 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.10 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 Grid12 monthsGot a call from someone claiming my electricity meter was broken and had to be changed!2 yearsToday, I received a call from someone claiming to be from EDF, which I currently use as my energy provider. They requested a photo of my meter reading to be sent via WhatsApp. Oddly enough, this isn't the first time they've called me-I've had three calls from them, including one yesterday. I had a nagging feeling that it might be a scam, so I decided to hang up. Just thought I should share it. Cheers, John. John Bird Studio-Art Gallery, Bawtry, Doncaster.EDFWhatsAppJohn. John Bird StudioArt GalleryBawtryDoncaster2 yearsI recently received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the National Grid, saying they needed to replace the meter at my home. They rattled off a date and time without pausing for breath, which set off alarm bells for me. It's worth noting that the National Grid doesn't handle meter changes; that's the responsibility of utility companies. I pointed this out to the caller, but they just hung up. Clearly, this is a dodgy operation that lies through its teeth.National Grid2 yearsIt was mentioned that a particular individual ought to visit my establishment to sort out my electricity provider, and as a result, my power supply will be cut off for about 40 minutes.2 yearsI received a call from this number, and the individual on the other end claimed to be representing the national grid. They were keen to obtain our account information under the pretext of updating our gas and electricity meters. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!2 yearsThey rang up, pretending to be from the national grid, saying they needed to come round and swap out our meter. However, they kept bombarding us with pointless questions that had nothing to do with the task at hand. Just a heads-up: don’t divulge any personal details to them.2 yearsFraudsters posing as representatives from the National Grid have been reaching out.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.2 yearsJust got a call from someone pretending to be from the National Grid. Total scam, don’t fall for it!2 yearsI've had a similar experience! Someone pretending to be from the National Grid called me, so I decided to reach out to them directly. Turns out, they confirmed that they're not responsible for changing meters-that's actually the job of your energy supplier. Definitely a scam!National Grid2 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.2 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.2 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!2 yearsTheir main office is actually located at wc2n5eh!2 yearsGot one of those scam calls again today.2 yearsAnother dodgy scheme, I must say. They were keen on swapping out the meter as well, and oddly enough, that happened on 5th February too.2 yearsTotal scam! Once I started questioning him more, he lost his temper and ended up calling me stupid.2 yearsThey rang up saying they were gonna switch out my meter... seemed a bit dodgy to me.2 yearsI received a call earlier today from someone claiming to be with the National Grid, telling me that my meter needed replacing and I had to jot down my new meter number for their visit on the 5th of February. When I mentioned I was occupied and requested his number to call him back, I did a bit of digging and realised it was a con. I called “Harry” back and told him to cancel the appointment, but he became rather pushy. I ended up hanging up on him. He tried ringing me back a staggering 20 times, and each time, I simply disconnected. In the end, he seemed to relent!National GridHarry3 yearsHe was definitely trying to con me.3 yearsHe began cursing once I kept pushing him. Total scam.3 yearsJust received a call purporting to be from the National Grid, insisting that my electric meter needs replacing as they allege it’s faulty. They even mentioned I might be eligible for a refund! However, they then transfered me to what they said was a secure line for further details. I told them I’m not involved in the business and stated clearly that I want to consult with the owner before I continue this conversation. They were quite persistent about me providing my date of birth, which I outright declined. They did offer me a different number to ring back, completely distinct from the one they rang me on. A quick search revealed both numbers to be unlinked to National Grid, and they’re flagged as potential scams. I've blocked the number and now I’m just waiting for the email they promised to send! 😂National Grid3 yearsExtremely impolite, and they seem to be misrepresenting themselves completely. They’re rather uncooperative when it comes to sharing truthful details.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 yearsHello there, I recently got a rather dodgy call from 02820539011. A chap claiming to be Mr Azan Ali stated he was ringing on behalf of the National Grid. He insisted they’d received an email about my electric meter supposedly leaking units and offered to replace it with a smart meter. I must admit, I was quite taken aback and promptly told him I had no interest in a smart meter at all. When I inquired how he came by the information regarding the alleged leak, he urged me to jot down the number of the new meter and read it out to his supervisor for registration. Before being passed on to his manager, I insisted on getting his contact details, which he provided as 02081330093. However, when I was switched to the so-called manager and confronted him, the line went completely dead. Feeling suspicious, I did a quick search online, and it turned out to be a total scam. I can't stress enough how important it is to question any unsolicited calls like that!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 yearsClaimed to be from the National Grid, saying they needed to swing by to replace the electric meter. I decided to give the genuine National Grid a bell, and they confirmed that this number is indeed a fraudulent operation.National Grid3 yearsI got a call from 01363815225 claiming they were from BG’s Meter Services and needed to swap out the electricity meter. They mentioned an account number, but it turned out to be for our gas, not electric. They even left a callback number: 02081330093. Felt really dodgy to me.Meter Services Department of British Gas3 yearsGot a call from 01616690598 about changing a meter, but then they told me to ring 02081330093. Total scam artists, really disgusting.3 yearsGot a call from someone named Rihan at the National Grid Servicing Centre about swapping out a dodgy meter. He actually phoned me from a 0203 number just last week. I've passed it on to the National Grid’s legal department just to be safe.RihanNational Grid Service CentreNational GridSubmit Your Own Report (020 8133 0093)
