I received a call from someone purporting to be from the National Grid, claiming they needed to replace our faulty meter. What's more, they mentioned we were entitled to a refund of £212.25! They requested a meter reading but then shifted to asking for our name and address. When we pointed out that they should already have that information, they insisted it was merely for verification purposes. It all felt rather fishy, so I decided to cut the conversation short and hang up.

This call about swapping out our meter next week is definitely a scam. Our current meter works just fine, showing all accurate readings, no problems at all. Don't fall for it, these tricksters are up to no good. Nicola Preece, Pembroke, Pembs, Wales.

So this guy with a heavy accent called me up sayin I need a new meter. I told him I already got one just last year. Then he snaps at me, “Mate, listen here, you’re gonna need a new meter by next Monday.” I told him to put that in writin and just quit the call. But no, they rang back again. Proper dodgy scammers, be careful folks.

Got a call from an Asian chap who said they’d be fitting a new electric meter here on Monday. Seemed legit since I’ve had problems with the one already there. He gave me a new meter number and then wanted the old number plus the current reading. Things got fishy when he started asking about my last bill and suddenly said I’d be due a refund! That’s when I put two and two together and called him out. Definitely a dodgy trick to persuade you to switch your energy provider! I just ended the call.

Someone rang claiming to be from National Grid, saying they needed to swap out my meter because it was faulty. I told them no way, since my analogue meter can't be monitored remotely, so it couldn’t be judged faulty like that.

Some bloke called me saying he needed to change my electric meter and asked for a meter reading, claiming I’d get some money back. It all felt a bit dodgy to me, so I told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call. My energy company hasn’t given me any heads up about this, so I’m treating that number as if it’s a con until I hear otherwise.

They rang me claiming it was about a complaint with my electricity provider. I told them that was the first I’d heard of it but go ahead. Then they started asking how much I pay each month. I said that was none of their business and asked who told them I had a monthly payment plan. I told them to basically piss off, and then the line suddenly went dead.

Funny how yet another scammer rang our landline today. Little do they know, we barely ever pick it up since it only handles our internet and card machine. Haha, bit pointless for them. Hopefully they get shut down sooner rather than later. Ha!

I've been receiving calls from 02086 386377 quite often. Each time, they don't leave a message on my voicemail, which is rather irritating. It sounds like they're in a busy office environment, with plenty of chatter in the background. It's quite puzzling, especially considering the current need for social distancing.

I got two calls from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from the national grid, telling us at our small business that we needed to replace our electricity meter. He even asked for the number on our current meter! I told him to email me the details since I was tied up and couldn't chat. When I tried ringing him back, the line stayed silent and eventually hung up.

Got a call from a couple of blokes speaking with Indian accents, saying they were arranging a swap for my electricity meter on behalf of National Grid. They gave me a date and a new meter number, but something about it just didn’t sit right compared to when my meters were changed before. When they asked for the meter reading, the number, and my name, I got the feeling it was dodgy. I decided not to share any details. Suddenly, the guy started swearing like mad for no reason and then just hung up. Definitely not someone from the official National Grid, that’s for sure.

What a cheeky bloke! He said he was calling from the main meters section at National Grid, telling me a new meter would be fitted on the 25th. When I asked if I could speak to someone in Welsh, he fumbled about with his keyboard for a while, then came back on with some fake woman’s voice going "hellooooo". Proper muppet.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from Utility Warehouse. He sounded like he had a lot of info about me and wanted me to verify it. He set up an appointment to swap out a supposedly faulty meter, so I’m keen to see if someone actually shows. If they do, I’m planning to film the visit and note down any vehicle details to give to the police - no way I’m letting them in the house.

They keep ringing non stop, this bloke says he’s from the government or the National Grid or sumthing like that. The number showing up is 02086386377. They’re trying to get me to change the meter and set up a time for them to come. Think about older folks, they might just let them in without checking who they really are. Seems dodgy to me.

Got a call from a guy with a Southeast Asian accent saying he was from National Grid, telling me our meter needed replacing. He gave me some reference number, then started asking for my mobile number and business info. I refused to give any details, and he went on asking how he'd sort the meter then. I mentioned there’s loads of dodgy calls trying to scam folks, so asked for his name and number. He mumbled something like “Sean” and gave me a fake phone number. Definitely a scammer.

This guy called saying he was from my electricity company. At first, when I asked which company he was with, he just said "your electricity provider," but when I kept asking, he actually named the right one. He then asked to talk to whoever handles the bills, and when I said they should know the name, he surprised me by knowing mine too. I ended up hanging up and blocked the number, but it’s worrying that they already have some of my details that could easily be used for scams.

They started off claiming to be from our electric company, saying the meter had to be swapped. After I lost my temper a bit, I tried to talk to the supervisor. Then some other guy with an Asian accent chimed in, saying Ofgem had complained and the meter must be replaced. I requested their company info, which they were reluctant to give at first, but then mentioned two names - Maxen Power and Uenergy. Eventually, the bloke let it slip saying something like “I can give you a great discount” - total scam if you ask me.
