Some lady calling with an Asian accent kept asking to speak to the owner of a business. When I asked which business, she said she isn’t a business herself and claimed to be calling from London. This happened around five times before she just abruptly ended the call.

Got a call from some overseas call centre trying to push business offers, asked if I was the business owner - wasn’t interested at all.

I've been getting calls from slightly different numbers but all pretty much the same, at least ten times daily. It's always some recorded voice saying my service is about to be cut off today. It's really annoying!

Got a phone message saying our internet would be cut off unless I pressed 1 to chat with someone. They claimed some nasty files were downloaded onto our router and asked for loads of info to fix the problem. Seemed fishy to me.

This number keeps ringing me twice every day for about a week now, but I just ignore it. They've never left a message on my voicemail either - they just hang up. Really annoying!

This morning I called wanting to speak to the owner about a complaint. When I asked for a direct number to have them call me back, the person on the other end just cut me off. I looked up the number online afterwards and, wouldn’t you know, it’s listed here. What a surprise!

Someone pretending to be from BT rang me, saying my internet had an issue.

Got a call from a few Asian lads, sounded like they were Bengali and Bangladeshi, maybe doing some kind of weird ritual or something with a Pakistani woman. Proper odd and shouted all over the line.

Scammers pretending to be asian babes keep calling me! Honestly, how long is BT going to keep handing out London numbers to these fraudsters? It's so annoying!

Got a call from some random number but no voicemail was left, so it's like they didn't want me to find out who they were.

Keeps ringing our office number non stop. Proper rude and pushy too. Keeps talking rubbish about some Energy Meters or something. Totally annoying and messin with our work.

I didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar. Pretty sure it was one of those scam calls.

Was getting nonstop calls from this duo, real pushy types bothering our shop. I tried ending the call, but they rang back, saying it was about a gas complaint. When they asked who supplied my gas, I told them they’d know if this was really about the national grid. Hung up again, then boom - they ring back and hand me over to some manager! Told her to email me if it was legit. Well, the message I got next was something else... total con artists. That number’s blocked now. Here’s the email I received: Hi, MS.JENNE Business Details Cocoa Black 1-3 Cuddy Bridge Peebles EH45 8JB As discussed, there’s been an issue with overcharging by your current supplier British Gas. They’ve apparently been sending you estimated bills that are too high for the last couple of months. We want to help fix this so future bills are accurate, possibly lowering costs by up to 40%. About the Line Loss Factor: The UK is split into 23 regions with specific energy suppliers. Normally, a single KWH meter is 98% efficient, dropping one unit at 98% usage. At the moment, British Gas is supplying you with only 61% capacity because they’re from a different region than your business. Due to distance, energy is lost, so your meter hits one unit drop at 61%, but when it reaches 98%, it drops a second unit too. This means you’re paying for more units than you actually use, so your bills are inflated. This is the Line Loss Factor (LLF). We will claim a refund for the extra charges on your behalf. No fees, no hassle - this is our responsibility. Bring your bills tomorrow and I'll explain everything in detail. Waiting for your positive reply. Best regards, Ms Minsa Call back number: 0207 097 9235 - caller: Uk Energy Services Ltd - which doesn’t actually exist.

They rang but went straight to my voicemail, and then just hung up without saying anything!

Some bloke with an accent rang up claiming National Grid said I was getting charged 30% extra on my energy bill. I said I'd be surprised, especially with the funny unit figures he was throwing about! When I asked where he was calling from, he reckoned Manchester, saying he was with the Direct Energy team. Bit dodgy though, considering the number started with 0208. Honestly, these scammers need to be caught and penalised for playing people like this. I’m sure the phone companies can trace where these calls really come from. - caller: 02082494145

This person keeps ringing me non-stop and they won’t stop even when I say no. Their English is all over the place, and now they’re telling me there’s something wrong with my electric supply. Proper annoying and won’t leave me alone!

Got a call from some bloke with an Asian accent saying he was from National Grid, talking about a complaint I supposedly made. Couldn't help but hear another guy in the background, also with an Asian accent, telling someone the exact same story. Definitely felt like a scam to me!

got a call from a bloke speaking Asian language, didnt catch a single word he said.

I got a call from this number but they just ended it right away. Total spam!

They kept calling over and over, despite me telling them I wasn’t interested. After I hung up, they rang straight back and started shouting at me for ending the call. Just one of those annoying nuisance calls.

Called me about five times in just six minutes.

No idea who this could be. They didn’t leave any message, so I’m not bothering to return the call.

i picked up and it was super loud in the back, like a busy call centre or somethin'. for a bit, all i could hear was hello being repeated lots of times before someone finally spoke, asking really odd questions about my personal info. if you weren’t waiting for a call from them, honestly, the best move is probably just to let it go and not answer.

I’m with Utility Warehouse and still get harassed by these folks nonstop, even tho I told them I'd be reporting them! - caller: 02082494145

They rang me three times in a row. The first two I politely said I wasn’t interested and thanked them for the call. On the third, the bloke gave his name as "Maxi" and said he was from the "Energy Department." He kept asking who I was but refused to say who his manager was. His English was a bit off, made me think it was some overseas call centre. Why are these cold calls even allowed? Feels like a scam for sure. Don’t get caught up in it, never share your info or even confirm your name - just hang up straight away. Caller number was 02082494145.

about six mins ago this number rang me, i quickly hit the block button and it cut off right away.

Got a call from an unknown number, and honestly, the person was really pushy and quite rude.

The caller had a bit of a strange accent and claimed I’d complained about my meter not working right - which I hadn’t said at all. He kept pressing me about who supplied my electricity, and I just told him if he was legit, he’d already know. He kept asking if I was the account holder but had no clue who I was by name. He started sounding quite annoyed, even a bit pushy. I’m definitely blocking the number now. The guy said he was with some “UK meter sorter” or something nonsense, lol.

I've been getting calls non stop from this number 02082494145. The person on the other end speaks really bad English and claims there's some issue with my electricity grid, but I reckon it's all just nonsense. So annoying!

So this guy rings up, asks how I’m doing and I say I’m just trying to get some shuteye. Then he says something about the network operator complaining about a 40% overcharge on our electric meter. I told him that if there’s a problem, it’s the distributor that would sort it with a new meter. He insists it’s nothing to do with the meter, so I just told him he’s both stupid and lying. Caller was from 02082494145.
