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.

This number keeps harassing us at work! The caller is quite rude and rather confrontational. They keep babbling on about Energy Meters or some such thing. It’s absolutely dreadful and a real nuisance for our operations.

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

An alarming situation has unfolded; an excessively persistent couple kept ringing our establishment incessantly. I eventually hung up on them, only for them to ring back, claiming to be addressing a grievance about our gas supply. When they inquired about our gas provider, I made it clear they should already have that information if they were genuinely representing the National Grid. I hung up once more, but they persisted and forwarded my call to their manager! I insisted she contact me via email if their intentions were legitimate. Below is the baffling email I received! Just complete fraudsters; I've now blocked their number. --- Subject: Urgent: Overcharge Issue Dear Ms. Jenne, Business Information: Cocoa Black 1-3 Cuddy Bridge, Peebles EH45 8JB Following our recent discussion about the supposed overcharges from your current supplier, British Gas, who has been sending inflated estimated bills for some time, we require your cooperation to resolve this matter and ensure that your future billing reflects your actual usage, potentially reducing your costs by up to 40%. Let me clarify the issue related to the Line Loss Factor: The entirety of the UK is divided into 23 regions, each with its own designated suppliers. A single kilowatt-hour (KWH) is meant to deliver 98% efficiency. However, due to your supplier being out of your operational region, you're currently receiving a mere 61% efficiency. This discrepancy arises because the electricity travels over considerable distances, resulting in delivery losses. Effectively, while your meter registers a consumption of 98% capacity, you’re paying as if you consumed double, leading to inflated readings at month’s end. This phenomenon is referred to as the Line Loss Factor (LLF). We'll handle the process of claiming any excess charges they’ve taken from you at no cost to you, ensuring a hassle-free experience on your end; this is entirely our responsibility. Please bring your bills with you tomorrow, so I can elucidate everything further. I'm eager to hear back from you positively. Best regards, Ms. Minsa Call back number: 0207 097 9235 - Caution: caller represents UK Energy Services Ltd - which appears to be a fictitious entity!

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

I received a rather peculiar call from a chap who claimed that the National Grid lodged a complaint regarding my energy charges, suggesting I was being overcharged by 30%. I had to chuckle, as the figures he mentioned were completely off the mark if they were indeed accurate! I swiftly dismissed his claims as nonsense. When I inquired about his location, he mentioned Manchester and affiliated himself with the Direct Energy Department. Quite amusing considering the number began with 0208! It’s high time we held such tricksters accountable and imposed penalties for their deceitful tactics. One would think the telecommunications companies could pin down these callers easily enough. - caller: 02082494145

This caller is incredibly impolite and keeps ringing me back, which is really jamming up my phone line. They just won’t accept a refusal. They struggle with their English and keep insisting that there’s an issue with my electricity supply.

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 just wouldn't stop calling, despite my clear disinterest. I ended the call, and wouldn’t you know it, they rang back, having a right old go at me for hanging up. It’s definitely one of those bothersome calls that just won't take a hint.

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 employed at Utility Warehouse, but it's quite maddening how these individuals keep bothering me despite my clear warning that I intend to lodge a formal complaint against them! - Caller: 02082494145

I received three consecutive calls from this number, and after the first two, I kindly explained that I wasn't interested and thanked them for the outreach. However, during the third call, the individual identified himself as "Maxi" claiming to represent something called the "Energy Department". He kept pressing for my identity but was rather evasive about his own superior. The English was quite broken, leading me to suspect it might be an overseas call centre. It's quite astonishing how these sorts of unsolicited calls can persist, practically harassing individuals. I'm almost certain it's a scam, so I urge everyone to steer clear of getting involved. Do not divulge any personal information, and definitely don't confirm your name. If you receive a call like this, the best course of action is to simply hang up - the number was 02082494145.

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

I received a rather unpleasant and confrontational phone call from an unknown number.

Had a rather baffling conversation earlier with a chap who clearly struggled with the language. He claimed I’d lodged a complaint about my meter malfunctioning, but I assured him I hadn’t. He pressed me for my energy supplier, to which I replied that he should be aware of that if he truly was calling on their behalf. He continued to pry, asking if I owned the property, all while being completely clueless about my identity. His tone became increasingly terse and almost confrontational as the exchange went on. I've decided to add this number to my block list - the caller mentioned something about being from UK Meter Solutions or some such nonsense, quite amusing really!

I keep receiving incessant calls from these individuals who attempt to converse in a rather poor version of English, claiming there's an issue reported from the grid. It's all utter nonsense! The number is 02082494145.

The caller enquired after my wellbeing, to which I mentioned I was attempting to get some shut-eye. They then made a false claim that our network provider had lodged a complaint regarding a 40% overcharge on our meter. I pointed out that any necessary meter replacement should be handled by our distributor. In response, they insisted it wasn't an issue with the meter at all, leading me to suggest that they were both a fool and dishonest. - Caller: 02082494145
