02081786888 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02081786888 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving an offshore call centre, primarily from India, repeatedly targeting UK businesses and individuals with aggressive and rude tactics. Callers falsely claim to represent energy suppliers such as EON, Opus Energy, or Companies House, often demanding personal or business details, meter readings, or contract information. They use intimidation, swearing, and threats and frequently call multiple times daily from various numbers, causing significant distress especially to vulnerable recipients. Genuine companies do not use such methods, and it is advised not to share any information, avoid engagement, report the number, and block calls to protect oneself from harassment and potential fraud. Authorities and legitimate suppliers are reportedly unable to directly stop these calls due to unregulated operations.

I just told them to stop and ended the call straight away.Opus Energy7 years02081786888, 01274201996, 07873968517 kept calling my work phone nonstop within 10 minutes, using really rude and aggressive words. He barely spoke any English, and when I asked him to try another language, he spoke in Punjabi and said he’s from Faisalabad, Pakistan. I told him I’d report him to the police, but he just laughed and said nobody could do anything to him. Later, I tried ringing back all three numbers and none of them seem to exist.FaisalabadPakistan7 yearsI got a call from these scammers using 03450550066. Watch out. Some bloke said he was Aaron Bake, total nonsense.Aaron Bake7 yearsThey keep calling my elderly mum from loads of different numbers, it’s like they never run out. It’s so annoying and I can’t understand how they reckon they’ll make a sale doing this. Maybe they’re getting paid for every call or something? Whatever the reason, they seriously need to quit it.7 yearsThis number has rung me up 3 times now. Every time I pick up they just stay silent.7 yearsGot calls more than ten times this week, always rude and saying they’re from Eon electric. Total scammers. Blocked the number straight away.Eon Energy7 yearsOpus Energy, yeah right!! Asked to talk to the manager but when I said I’m the owner, they still insisted on the manager. Oh well, total fail!! Haha!!Opus Energy7 yearsThese people are really rude and said they were from company house. They called me like 10 times today.Companies House7 yearsGot calls from someone saying they were from company house, but they were really rude. They called me around 10 times just today.Companies House7 yearsNo need to share any specifics, it’s a call centre from India, just mess around with them and kill some time!India7 yearsProper awful people. No respectable business would let their workers swear at customers all the time like these lot do. Just blocked the number.7 yearsI received calls from an Indian gentleman attempting to peddle energy services. When I mentioned I’d get back to him, he bluntly claimed his number wasn’t real and then became quite offensive. Now, he’s bombarded me with incessant calls for the past couple of hours! I’m in the process of blocking him, but it’s proving tedious, and in the meantime, he’s wreaking havoc, tying up the line and stopping genuine customers from reaching me.7 yearsSomeone just rang me up and said they wanted to f### me?? What the heck haha7 yearsGot a call centre that just ignores when you ask them to delete your number from their list. Today alone they’ve called me like twenty times, never picked up any of them, and they haven’t left a single voicemail either. Earlier this week I actually answered once, but they keep ringing anyway.7 yearsAbsolutely dreadful manners from those individuals.7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Opus Energy asking for a meter reading. They couldn't give me any details about the account they were supposedly calling about. When I asked to speak to someone else, they put me through to a manager who said they worked for Eon Energy! After that, I just ended the call. They’re really persistent and keep ringing me nonstop.Opus EnergyEon Energy7 yearsI run a little café myself and I’ve received two calls from this number today. The second caller claimed to be unaware of the first conversation. They stated they were representing my electricity provider and hinted at an imminent shutdown of the main power supply in our vicinity, warning that it could lead to higher bills for me. They were essentially trying to persuade me to switch suppliers, likely to their own company - Opus Energy, if I recall correctly. I’ve decided to block this number immediately and I’d recommend that others do likewise to avoid any hassle!Opus Energy7 yearsSounds like an Indian call centre. The noise in the background was so loud I barely caught what the person was saying. Pretended I didn’t understand because of the racket and just ended the call.7 years02081786888 Caller was making threats about [###] and was really aggressive.7 yearsGot a call from some Indian guy twice today, told him I got nothing to do with my fuel meters, then just hung up. When he called the second time, I picked up for a sec but then just put the phone down.7 yearsMy old parents keep getting pestered by this firm that says they're from the gas or electric provider. It's been happening for nearly 2 years now and they call about 20 times every day. It's always the same person ringing us. They seem to get a kick out of bothering us and there's nothing we can do to stop it. They often swear and use rude language.7 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady asking for meter readings, then she handed me over to a bloke called 'Raj'. He started going on about my usage being too high and said I was paying way too much. Our setup is a bit odd, so there’s no way he could have any clue. I played along for a bit before telling him straight that I knew it was a scam and I was reporting him. Weirdly, he stayed quite calm and polite right up to when I ended the call.Raj7 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy saying he was from the gas and electricity company asking to confirm my meter reading. Told him the meters get checked monthly by a worker. Asked him to take my number off their list and not ring me again.7 yearsThis same number keeps calling non stop. I answer on the work line, hear an Indian accent and just hang up straight away. The guy even laughs sometimes. It’s been happening for ages now.7 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming she was from the Registration Department and that she’d connect me to her manager. I asked which company’s Registration Dept she was from, and she said EON. When the manager came on, I asked again and he said he was with Opus Energy! Clearly just a sales pitch for their energy plans. Told them to take me off their calling list and then blocked the number on my phone.Registration DepartmentEONOpus Energy7 yearshe really should find something better to do and stop bothering everybody else7 yearsGot a call from this number, some rude bloke who said he wanted my meter reading. I just said “No thanks” and ended the call straight away.7 yearsProper fed up with these muppets ringing up asking all about our company, is there no way to shut these lot down?7 years02081786888 What a load of rubbish, I saved this number ages ago and they called again today. I answered, said hello, and the moment they started talking I just told them they’re nothing but scammers and told them to piss off.7 yearsHow do these idiots keep doing this? Loads of folks have looked up this number, around 50 comments already and probably gonna get more. I'm sick of these scam calls, seriously something should be done about it.7 yearsThis is total rubbish, don’t be calling me again mate.7 yearsThis bloke from India keeps ringing up asking for some guy we've never heard of. Don’t they ever get tired of calling?India7 yearsGets calls all the time from this number, always giving different reasons - one minute it’s about gas and electric, next it’s insurance or some other firm. Told them to stop calling but they just ignore it. This number really needs to be blocked for good. They even threatened me, saying it won’t end well if I don’t comply. Must be some Indian scammer.7 yearsThis number has called me about 100 times today, it's insane. And each call is about some new product or service.7 yearsScam for sure. Keeps ringing me and using loads of different numbers. Proper harassment. They say they're from British Gas and are pushing cheap energy deals with first 3 months free or something. Always calling outside working hours as well! So moody and really rude when I answer!British Gas7 yearsGot a call from some dodgy lot in India trying to trick companies into changing their energy deals. Total pain in the arse.7 yearsGot loads of calls tonight, maybe 5 or more, all trying to get us to switch to some budget utilities deal, really annoying and messing up our phone. They kept going even after I said no nicely, hung up a few times, mentioned we’re on the TPS list, even dropped a swear or two but nothing stopped them. Spent about 8 minutes just telling them firmly we’re not interested and won’t give any info or switch, not even for free. Such a waste of time.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsTypical scam stuff. They say they're Opus Energy but it’s definitely not them. We probably get about 20 to 30 calls every day from these lot. The real name behind it is Utility Energy Services. They started in VICTORIA but now they’ve got places everywhere. Honestly, they should be stopped asap.Opus EnergyUtility Energy ServicesVictoria7 yearsFraudsters in the energy sector!7 yearsSome bloke from India kept trying to get me to give info and was chuckling the whole time, so I just ended the call. He rang me like 7 times after that, so in the end I had to block his number.India7 yearsGot a call saying they were from EON, claiming to be our business gas and electricity provider - asked for our account info. We don’t have any business utilities since we run a carpet cleaning service and just use our clients' power. Ended the call and checked with EON directly.EON7 yearsI checked this number on here and decided not to answer. They call all the time but never leave a voice message. So annoying how they keep calling!7 yearsGot two calls back to back right after I ended the first, said he was from EON. Kinda freaky how much he knew about us, so I kept listening a bit. In the end, felt like a total scam just tryin to collect more personal details, so I shut it down again. Stay clear of these!EON7 yearsThey said they were calling from EON and rang me from three separate numbers 0345 052 0000, 0208 1786 888 & 084322723777. When I asked for a password, they said there wasnt one on the account. Bit strange cos I definitely set a password when I switched providers 2 years ago.EON7 yearsI run a little café, and for the past six weeks, I've been inundated with calls from this company-literally six times each day! Just today, it's been 14 calls from them since 9 in the morning, and it’s only 2 in the afternoon. It feels like nothing short of harassment. They keep trying to persuade me to switch my energy provider. Every time I pick up, it’s always the same chap with a very pronounced Indian accent. I’m absolutely fed up with these incessant interruptions!7 yearsGot a call today from someone saying they were from the registration office. Told them I'm not interested and to remove my number from their list. Ended the call after that.7 yearsThis number harasses me relentlessly, ringing incessantly, sometimes even ten times within a single day! It's becoming rather vexing.7 yearsSomeone rang sayin they were from EON, but they were proper rude and pushy, tryin to get my details to sort out a contract. They even told me I’m too old and should get a business to sign up with them. I’ve blocked their number and reported the calls to EON, giving them the phone number as well.Eon7 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady saying she was with Eon. She wanted to take my meter reading, but I just ended the call.Eon7 yearsThis bloke kept ringing our shop over and over, hassling us about energy deals. I’m gonna track you down, you’ll regret bothering our business when we’re open. I’ll trace your number and you’ll get what’s coming to you, you daft bloke.7 yearsGot a call last week from someone saying they were from the “registration office,” mentioned a business I closed down ages ago, bout 3 years back. They were super pushy tryin to get names and job titles. When I said I wasn’t the right person to talk to, the bloke wouldn’t believe me and kept going on about how that couldn’t be true. Eventually I had to just end the call. Then this morning, the same person with an Indian accent called again, insisting on speaking to my manager. When I said I didn’t have her phone number, he got quite nasty too.7 yearsGot a call from this utterly daft bloke from India claiming he was with Eon. He got all irritated when I started messing about and laughing, like when I told him, "Are you a limited company?" and I said, "Yes, very limited." Then he passed me on to another guy just as clueless. I was having a laugh and confusing him while everyone else in the room was cracking up. Eventually, he twigged when I said I lived at 666 Erewhon Street and just hung up on me. Proper rude, honestly - in these prank calls, I put in effort and deserve a bit more respect!EonErewhon Street7 yearsProper rude, said they were from Companies House about some business we supposedly signed up. Wanted me to confirm stuff and got really cheeky when I said no - called me a 'daft woman who knows nothing about business'! Then they hung up and phoned back straight away pushing for those details. Absolutely horrible lot.Companies House7 yearsExtremely impolite and then they just dropped the call.7 yearsJust got a call from someone saying they were with EON today, but yesterday it was British Gas. They got really annoyed when I wouldn't share my details. Watch out for these lot!EonBritish Gas7 yearsEnergy firm called me, i just hung up and they rang again two times. Would avoid them for sure.7 yearsGot a call and immediately felt something was off. The details from the caller didn’t add up, so I just ended it. After that, they kept ringing non-stop. Luckily, I’ve got call blocking set up, so I just slapped their number on my never-answer list.7 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent saying they were from EoN offering cheaper energy rates. Told them I wasn't interested and ended the call straight away.EoN7 yearsPhoned asking for the manager, told them they weren’t in. Ended the call after that.7 yearsI've had quite a few calls from this supposed energy provider-four in the span of just one hour! They simply refuse to accept my refusal. It’s rather relentless, to say the least.7 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from my energy company but didn’t actually know my details and wanted me to confirm them. They never asked any normal questions you’d expect from my supplier. They even tried to scare me by saying they’d end my contract if I didn’t give info. Totally a scam for sure.7 yearsGot two calls from this number on 6th March around 11am. I was actually waiting for a call from my energy provider, so the timing threw me off at first. But when I listened closely, the info he gave didn’t really add up. When I asked for more details, he sounded way too pushy to be legit. I called him out on it being a scam and ended the call. He rang back and even tried from a mobile number afterwards, but I just didn’t pick up. Stay clear of this one, folks.7 yearsGot another call from these lot today, second one in just two days. Yesterday some bloke claiming to be from EON was really rude, and when I questioned him, he just yelled "You listen to me!" Then today the same number rang, but it was someone saying they were from Opus Energy trying to talk about our new contract, and once again, he shouted "You listen to me!" Honestly, best to just block these morons.EONOpus Energy7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from EON. They said they’d found my details from some website tracking new limited companies. Since I just started mine, they had some of my info and tried to convince me to set up an energy contract with them. I’m not even with Eon, so I knew it was a scam and told them off before hanging up. They rang me back on a mobile 07873 968517, said he was the manager and insisted he needed my info to stop my account going out of contract. I told him straight up to stop calling me again.EONEon7 yearsWatch out!! Got a call from someone claiming to be from Eon.7 yearsSuper sketchy call centre overseas. They havent got a clue about the business or the account theyre ringing about. Best to just end the call straight away.7 yearsThey've rung me more than 30 times, honestly so rude and full of themselves.7 yearsGot a call earlier said his name was Ady Suny from Eon energy, wanting meter readings. When I started asking him questions back, he didn’t seem too happy about it! He started getting a bit rude, so I just put the phone down for a bit. Unsurprisingly he ended the call then!Ady SunyEon Energy7 yearsAll of this is spot on. I’m going through the exact same thing atm. Had to just turn my phone off to get some peace.7 yearsCalled me more than 50 times and was talking in some foreign language.7 yearsTotal scam, watch out!7 yearsI thought Nationwide Energy went bust ages ago, so no clue how some dodgy bloke is still using that name. Really irritating guy with an Indian accent, was really rude and just kept ringing back, tying up the line. Proper pain!7 yearsA woman with an Indian accent called asking to speak with the owner.India7 yearsThey keep ringing me nonstop, like 50 times, it’s driving me mad!7 yearsThey've rung me nearly 30 times today, keep asking for info. Started calling me rude names when I refused to share anything.7 yearsEnergy agents calling for Nationwide Energy here.Nationwide Energy8 yearsThey've rung me like 30 times, seriously annoying.8 yearsThey've called me loads of times, really disrespectful and definitely seemed like a scam, kept asking for tons of personal details.8 yearsThere’s this suspicious firm from India claiming to be from your electricity provider, they call every day nonstop, it’s really annoying.8 yearsThis number has driven me mad, ringing me at least ten times every single day. I've just stopped answering altogether now. I even tried explaining to the caller, but they threatened to cut off our supply, which is clearly a scam. I attempted to play it off as a wrong number, but no luck. They say something about us being ripped off on electricity because our meter supposedly isn’t recording the full kilowatt hour or whatever. Honestly, it’s such an irritation.8 yearsSome bloke rang our salon loads of times, saying he's from EON and wanted to chat with the owner about our account. It was mad, he kept calling back as soon as we'd hang up or the call dropped - at least twenty calls in total. Eventually, fed up, we picked up and warned him if he didn’t stop, we’d get the police involved. He just told us to shut up and demanded the owner’s number. We weren't having any of it, told him he’s not our provider, so he’d already have the info if he was legit. After that he swore at us, so we just ended the call. Proper nasty bloke.EON8 yearsGot a call today from a number showing 02081786888, sounded like someone with an Indian accent. I just knew it was dodgy, so I didn’t even bother answering their questions. The person quickly got really rude and started swearing at me. I ended the call, but they rang me back three more times, and I just kept hanging up on them. Seriously, why isn’t the government doing anything about these annoying calls?8 yearsGot a call today from someone wanting my meter reading but they couldn't even say which company they were from! I just ended the call straight away.8 yearsComplete scam, these lot claim they work for Eon Energy and are trying to open a fresh account because they say we registered a new business. They've been ringing our office over and over again, switching numbers each time. Such a nuisance!Eon Energy8 yearsThey just called me asking for meter readings, no messing about. Been getting these calls for like two weeks now. I told the bloke to just send me a letter instead.8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Eon Energy. They said they needed to verify my meter reading to update the contract.
