I've been getting loads of calls from this number, like 10 missed ones already. Some times they say they’re selling electricity and gas deals, but other times they claim there’s been an overcharge on my electric bill and ask for a meter reading. I put the number on block, but they still ring me up!

A bloke called me again, he also phoned a couple months back. This time he said he loves me and wants to bring me happiness. He’s been blowing up my phone - about 4 calls in a day. I’ve gone and told the police about it.

Got a call from someone wanting my electric meter reading. I asked what it was for and they claimed to be my energy supplier. When I asked them who my supplier actually was, they just guessed and got it wrong. I ended the call straight away, sounded like a total scam to me.

Got a call the other day from someone saying my meter was broken and needed changing, plus I had to get a new account. When I asked why, all they said was it’d be cheaper, but never said how much cheaper. I decided to check with my supplier today through chat, and they confirmed my meter’s fine and working properly. Pretty sure it was a scam.

This number 02081445053 kept blowing up my business line - like 22 times in just a quarter of an hour! Each time I cut the call, the phone would ring again immediately and there was no way to block it at first. I might have lost my cool and told them off pretty harshly before hanging up again, and then they called me an F B! Eventually, I managed to block the number for good. What a hassle!

This guy called asking for our meter reading, but when we kept refusing to give it, we suspected something wasn't right. Then out of nowhere, he started asking if I’d do some dodgy stuff and wanted my personal number to chat on WhatsApp. He also asked for my name, so I told him I was Alan and male, even though that’s not true. Definitely felt like a total scam.

Don’t waste your time chatting with scammers. Make sure you add your number to the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) at https://www.tpsonline.org.uk to cut down on those annoying illegal cold calls. Once your number’s on the TPS, it’s against the law for them to ring you up out of the blue. It’s simple to sign up and if you do get calls, you can report the scammers to the TPS straight away. This way you’re protecting yourself and helping stop these dodgy callers.

Someone called saying they were from Octopus Energy, asking for a meter reading. They didn’t know the serial number on our meter, just the MPAN. I gave them the reading, and they said it was way too high so the meter must be faulty. They then booked a date to install a new meter, but wanted me to verbally confirm it over the phone, presumably recording it. That’s when I realised it was a scam.

Got a call from someone claiming to be National Grid, asking for my meter reading. I told them to get in touch with my energy provider instead. They insisted the readings were just estimates and needed verification. I explained I send my readings in every month and always snap a photo for proof. Then, out of nowhere, he just hung up on me...

Got a call saying they were from Scottish Power, saying my meter was showing unusually high numbers and they needed a reading. I told the person that I actually don’t have a smart meter, but they kept insisting I did and that it must be faulty. Then, I mentioned I send my readings online myself, but he said those readings looked too high and wanted to confirm with a meter check. Honestly, I’m not sure what they want because I definitely don’t have a smart meter! They keep ringing me at least twice a day which is getting really annoying.

Got a call about switching my gas meter to a smart one, supposedly from British Gas. Figured it was suspicious since they only ring during the weekend when no one can verify stuff - typical British weekend downtime, right? They act like everyone’s clocking out till Monday. Not the best strategy for a legit business, but I guess it works wonders for con artists!

Got a call from this number saying they were British Gas and asking me to send details through WhatsApp. Sounds dodgy to me, probably a scam.

This phone number is most certainly a scam! They masquerade as the electricity provider BES, asking you to provide your meter reading. They then claim that the electricity number you're using is wrong, promising a refund. Ultimately, they gather your details to get you set up for some dodgy scheme involving the sale of mobile phones on finance. It all sounds too fishy to be true!
