We recently received a phone call, informing us that we were going to be charged excessively on our account because of a defective meter. It is important to disregard and end the call from these individuals. Legitimate energy suppliers will not ask you any questions without first confirming your identity with the usual security questions, which only you and your genuine supplier would have knowledge of. Similarly, we also experienced a similar type of call from the number 0207 566 6777.

It's definitely a scam, so I wouldn't bother engaging with them.

I call phoned n power five times but accidentally hung up each time. I am skeptical about their claims, as I suspect it's a scam. They claimed to represent n power, but I requested evidence as I had doubts. However, the caller persistently insisted on obtaining my personal information.

This woman with a strong accent kept ringing me, insisting our meters had to be checked because the reading was around £6000. Everytime I asked for a contact number to double-check her claims or answers, she'd dodge giving one. She wanted the 'Supply Number' from our recent bill and tried to guess it, but she was wrong. I hadn't shared any details and eventually she stopped calling. Felt dodgy right from the start, especially when she got quite snappy and unfriendly.

After going through the comments on this webpage, it's quite apparent that there is a blatant scam going on. It caught my attention when they attempted to contact me earlier today, surprising yet suspicious as they had a Norwegian number (+47). I'm genuinely curious about how they think they can "read my meter"!

Got a call from an Asian woman saying she was with British Gas, saying they need to send someone out to check our electric meter because apparently we owe £6000. When we asked for the past meter readings, she gave some figures but they didn’t match up, especially since we have two meters and she couldn’t say which one she meant. We asked for a callback number and she gave 800 048 0202, but it turned out the real number was 02426227277. When we tried to get her name, she just ended the call. We've now reached out to British Gas and they're looking into this scam!

Received a phone call today informing me that my electric bill amounted to £3K. They insisted on having the details of my previous bill. Regrettably, I did not follow my initial intuition and proceeded with the conversation. In hindsight, it was undoubtedly a scam. Shortly after, they rang again, but I opted not to engage as I had searched for the number online and discovered reports from others who had encountered the same call. They attempted another call, but this time, I warned them that I would report them if they persisted. These individuals are incredibly shrewd, possessing access to all your personal information and employing highly persuasive techniques. Do not allow yourself to be deceived.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent saying he was with British Gas. He told me I owed a ridiculous bill of about four grand, which I knew wasn’t right. He said he’d sort it out and send someone to check my meter. Then he asked to verify some personal info. While chatting to him, I quickly looked up the number online, and it only showed my name. When I mentioned what I found, he insisted he was genuinely from British Gas. I told him I’d ring the company myself to be sure, and he just hung up on me. What a muppet!

Just before Christmas 2016, I received a call claiming that I owed Scottish Power £4,000. They asked for my last bill details, but I refused to provide them. The caller then mentioned that an engineer would visit me at midday. Sensing something fishy, I immediately contacted Scottish Power using a legitimate number from a previous electric bill. After checking my meters over the phone with their representative, I discovered that I actually had a credit balance on both of them. To address this scam, I proceeded to fill in a complaint form over the phone. However, the story didn't end there. On January 4th, 2017, an Asian lady called me again, reiterating that an engineer would come at the same time to inspect my meters. This time, I informed her that I had reported the matter to the police, prompting her to abruptly end the call.

I received a call from someone who insisted they were British Gas. They said they needed to send an engineer to inspect the electric meter as it was showing incorrect readings and required testing. They mentioned that I might be paying more than necessary. However, when I suggested getting it tested by our electrician, they abruptly ended the call.

Got a call from someone saying they were from British Gas. They said my electric meter was showing wrong readings and that an engineer would be coming to check it. They kept saying I was overpaying. When I said I’d have my own sparky test it, they just hung up on me!

I recently received a rather dubious call from someone claiming to represent an energy provider. They insisted on dispatching a meter reader to my address and requested specific information from my billing statements. Definitely had the vibe of a scammer, so I advise caution!

Got a call from 02426227277 saying I owed £4,000 for my gas and electric. Don’t give them any details! Just call the company you actually have an account with to check.

I got a call from 02426227277 saying my direct debit was going to be charged over £3,000 because of some problem with my electric meter. They asked for my bank details to “stop” the payment from going through. Smelt fishy straight away, and when I asked who my energy supplier was, they didn’t even know. Honestly, this feels like a big con, so be cautious if you get a call like this.

Received a phone call today from the given number, informing us about sending a meter reader to our place tomorrow for a reading. As we became wary, we asked him about the necessary security questions he should be asking us. However, he abruptly hung up. Interestingly, the same individuals had called the previous day from the number 07403 877369, inquiring about our last bill's amount and insisting on knowing the supply number. To ensure its authenticity, I contacted our energy provider, who clarified that this caller was not affiliated with them. They labeled it as fraudulent and advised informing the police.

We have been receiving phone calls from this number around 10-12 times every week. There is an unpleasant Asian woman on the other end who claims that we will be getting a hefty bill from a company that does not even provide our electricity service. She insists on sending an engineer to our place in order to read our meter. It is evident that this is a blatant scam! We should simply inform her to leave us alone. Dealing with individuals like her is a complete waste of time!

This number has been blowing up my phone like 10 or more times every week. A rude woman with an Asian accent keeps saying we owe money to some company that doesn’t even provide our electricity! She then says she’ll send someone to check our meter. It’s obviously a scam! Just be straightforward and tell her to piss off! These kinds of calls are a total nuisance!

I recently received a phone call from an Asian woman stating that she was scheduling an appointment for an engineer from SSE to come and read our electricity meter tomorrow. Strangely enough, we are not even customers of SSE. I informed her that I would need to gather some information before providing her with our supplier number, and I asked if she could give me a contact number to call her back on. However, she couldn't provide one. She promised to call me back later, but I told her not to bother as it seemed like a waste of time.

We received a call from someone representing EDF, but they were a foreigner with limited English proficiency. They claimed to be responsible for reading our meter, even though we have no contract with EDF. When we informed them of this, the caller abruptly ended the call in a disrespectful manner. This incident appears to be a clear attempt at deceiving or scamming us.

I received a call today from an unknown number and immediately disconnected as it was clearly a telesales pitch. It was quite frustrating because I was busy working underneath a washing machine at the time. It really bothers me how these individuals randomly call people without considering their activities or priorities. In my opinion, EON is an untrustworthy company, plain and simple.

Similarly, E.ON customers are also falling victim to this fraudulent scheme as they receive continuous harassment, utilizing the same deceptive language. It is crucial to be cautious as the scammers' ultimate goal is to gather sensitive information from customers, which they can later exploit for fraudulent activities. To protect yourself, promptly block the incoming number associated with these malicious actions.
