02081330221 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02081330221 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from individuals falsely claiming to represent National Grid, various energy suppliers, or meter companies. Callers often allege faulty or overcharged electricity meters, promising refunds or forced meter replacements, while demanding personal and bank details. Numerous recipients report aggressive, rude, and harassing behaviour, with threats of disconnection if demands are not met. The callers use convincing tactics, including providing supposed reference numbers and impersonating legitimate companies, but verification through official suppliers consistently reveals these to be fraudulent. The scam appears linked to a call centre operating offshore, and victims are strongly advised against sharing any information or agreeing to appointments. Reporting to official fraud authorities is recommended to help prevent further victimisation.

They rang me saying they needed a meter reading to sort out a refund for an overcharge, but I got a bit wary when they asked for photos of my bills via WhatsApp or email. They emailed me a request that looked like it was from British Gas but used a strange "mail[###]" domain. I just made up an excuse and ended the call. Now, they’ve sent another email pretending to be from directenergyservices/ofgem, threatening to cut off my supply if I don’t send the bill pics. The number on the email is the same one they called from.

They claimed to be from E-on energy and said I needed to switch to a different provider, but I didn't pay any attention to them. Today I got another call from the same number saying they'd visit my house and cut off my electricity. When I contacted Eon directly, they said there's no issue like that. So watch out for this number, it's suspicious.

This guy 'Shaun' rings us loads during the day at our hectic shop, saying he's from the electricity company switching over to 'Maxem Power' and wants to shut our old account to open a new one. He’s really abrupt, pushes hard, and just won’t accept no. Definitely feels like a scam to me.

There’s a lad calling himself Azan who’s working with Opus Energy, and he’s apparently from Pak*stan. He sold me a contract that wasn’t right, then asked for £300, promising a better deal with EDF Energy. If anyone wants his real name or needs to get in touch with Opus Energy's support, I can share the details. I’m also up for helping out if anyone wants to make sure this scammer gets caught.

Cant belive this was really a London number calling me. How do these scammers abroad manage to use UK landline numbers to hide their true location and trick people? Already reported this to 'Action Fraud'. Heard a few folks have contacted their MPs about these scams, asking why there's no action to stop them. I’m thinking of doing the same. Something’s gotta give to put an end to these #@!! scammers.

I got loads of calls from two Indian men called Shawn and Logan, kept ringing me saying I had to switch my meter or they'd cut off my power. I rang my electricity company myself, they told me no one by those names worked there. Can't believe how often people must get caught out by this! Just watch out for these calls!

I just got a phone call from a man named 'Logan' with a strong Indian accent. He said he was from the National Grid Station and insisted our meter needed replacing. When I told him I organise such things through my energy supplier, he snapped back saying it had nothing to do with them and was his company's job. He tried to set up a time to come out. I said I'd reach out to my provider myself, and he offered to email them for me. No chance I was handing over any info to this bloke. He gave me the number above and said I could contact them to arrange a visit. Not happening!

Watch out, this is a total scam. These people claim they're from National Grid and want your meter info to pull a con on you. I rang up my energy supplier and they told me they’d contact me if a meter swap was needed. Since mine's only about 4 years old and working fine, they had no plans to change it. Also, just to mention, these callers were Asian. Stay safe!

Got a call from Amid Malik on 02081330221. He claimed we needed a meter swap and that we were owed £596.87. He asked for property info which I gave since it’s easy to find in the phone book. Then he wanted bank details. I told him I wasn’t the owner, and used the name Angela Davies - just made it up. He said he already had my info and just needed bank details to send the money. I insisted it should go to the owner, but he said it could be paid to me. Honestly, the guy was daft if he thought I bought it. Seriously, mate, maybe pick a different gig. Be careful, this is a scam!

Got a call from someone called Alan, claiming to be from National Grid. Said they needed to swap our gas meter and promised a refund. Then they asked for our bank info. We "arranged" an appointment for the swap and even asked for a confirmation as proof. After that, they kept ringing every 10 minutes non-stop. They threatened to cut off our gas if we didn’t give them bank details. Watch out for this one.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming he was from Eon, saying our electricity meter had issues and we were due a refund of £576.47. He mentioned someone would be coming next Monday to install a new smart meter. I got suspicious when he said we were on a business tariff, when it's clearly a private home, and that the account was under my husband's company name rather than his personal one. He asked for bank details and sort codes, which I absolutely declined to give. I then phoned Eon directly and they told me it was definitely a scam. Watch out for this!

He seemed to know loads about us, but honestly, it was stuff anyone could find on Companies House! I contacted our energy provider and they had no record of this, so they’ve now put a password on our account just in case.

I told him I’m not the one allowed to give readings, and that the authorised person would be in tomorrow at 10am. He then asked if I could get them to ring him back on that number.

On 6th March 2018, someone called from Allee Farhad claiming they’d be fitting a new smart meter because we were apparently being overcharged. They asked for personal info like our name and bank details for direct debit! They wanted us to read the meter immediately but said the actual installation wouldn’t happen for a few weeks. When I mentioned that we’d use more electricity in the meantime, the caller said they’d just read the meter at the time they replaced it.

He gave me 07438896928 - I just ended the call. Can’t be legit, they'd have to go through security checks before talking to me. Felt really sus.
