4 yearsGot a pop-up on my PC claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer might be hacked or something. It asked me to call 020 8187 1315. Sounded dodgy to me.Microsoft4 yearsSomeone called me claiming they were from Microsoft, saying my ID and bank info were at risk from hackers. They wouldn’t provide any genuine Microsoft case number and the way they spoke didn’t seem very professional at all. I’m pretty sure it was just a scam.Microsoft4 yearsESB Energy keeps sending those pesky cold callers my way.ESB Energy4 yearsReceived a call from an unrecognised number, but no one uttered a word.5 yearsThis morning, I received a phone call from a lady with an Asian accent, but the line was filled with a lot of background clatter, which made it sound like a call centre. She mentioned she was representing Magnum Utilities on behalf of ESB Energy. I was all tied up at the time, whipping up some breakfast, so I couldn't really determine if it was a legitimate call or just one of those pesky marketing attempts.Magnum UtilitiesESB Energy5 yearsHonestly, I don’t think it’s a scam at all. These folks are legit contractors hired by ESB Energy. They’ve got to fit a certain number of smart meters every year because of government targets.ESB Energy5 yearsSome people keep ringing me, saying they're from the national energy suppliers association or something like that. I told 'em straight away on the first call that I wasn't interested, but they still keep calling me up to a couple times every day. I just don't pick up now. Anyone know how to make them stop for good? It's so annoying.National Association of Energy Suppliers5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they worked for the energy firm about installing smart meters. I told them I wasn’t interested at all.5 yearsTotal con artists, absolute rubbish!5 yearsThis number kept ringing me loads of times but no answer from me. After a while, they left a voicemail. Apparently it’s Magnum Utilities calling for ESB Energy (I got a text from ESB earlier saying they’d call me). They were talking about putting in new smart meters. I wasn’t interested so I just said thanks but no thanks.ESB EnergyESB5 yearsBeen getting constant annoying calls from this number between 8th and 11th November 2021, a total of 9 times. One day, they even rang me three times back to back. Honestly, it's so tiring having to report these numbers over and over!5 yearsGot a call from some overseas call centre claiming to represent energy firms, pushing me to get a smart meter installed. They didn’t even ask if I wanted one, just told me when they’d come round to fit it! Honestly, you don’t have to agree to having one fitted at all. Your current meter works just as well and won’t waste any more energy than a fancy ‘smart’ one. They already knew my details, like my name and that my energy provider was ESB Energy (now So Energy). They insisted a smart meter would save me money. That’s rubbish! The only way you lower your bills is by using less electricity and switching off devices when you don’t need them, the meter itself doesn’t cut costs. The whole saving money thing is just a sales pitch. Smart meters mainly benefit the energy companies since they get a clear view of your usage patterns and can even control your electricity supply remotely. To me, smart meters are way overhyped and not really necessary. If you want one, that’s your choice - but don’t let anyone pressure you into it.ESBSo Energy5 yearsHeard coughing in the background, sounded like they were calling from some dodgy place! The American accent was kinda faint and hard to hear. They claimed to be from ESG Energy and were talking about some update to the second generation smart meter. Honestly, I’d be wary of this one - feels fishy and might be a scam! Best to just hang up.ESG Energy5 yearsI’ve checked that number more than 60 times now, and it’s gotta be a scam. The call ended before I could even pick up.5 yearsThe person on the other end refused to say who they actually were.5 yearsI called and could hear noises like people working in an office, but when I said hello, no one replied so I just ended the call.5 yearsSomebody called claiming to be from ESB energy, but then just ended the call right away.ESB Energy5 yearsI just ignored the call.Submit Your Own Report (020 8187 1315)
