10 yearsLike many others here, we got a phone call warning us about a huge overcharge because of some faulty meter. Don’t waste your time - just hang up on these scammers! Real energy companies always run through proper security checks first, asking stuff only you and them would know. I also got a similar call from the number 0207 5666777. Stay cautious!10 yearsHonestly, it's a total scam, I'd say just steer clear of them.10 yearsThey dialled me about five times ‘cos I kept ending the call. Don’t trust what they say, it’s a total scam. They said they were from N Power, but I told them I needed proof ‘cause I wasn’t convinced. After that, she kept pushing for my info.10 yearsThis 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.10 yearsJust had a call from these lot today, even though my number starts with +47 (Norwegian). After seeing the comments here, it's clear they're up to no good. Really curious how they planned to "read my meter" from here! Definitely sounds like a scam to me.10 yearsGot 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!British Gas10 yearsGot a call earlier saying my electricity bill was £3000 and they needed info about my last statement. At first, I ignored my gut feeling and kept talking, but it’s 100% a scam. They rang me again about five minutes later, but this time I didn't answer because I’d checked the number online and found loads of others had received the same call. They phoned once more after that, and I told them I’d report them if they tried again. These scammers are really smart and have loads of your info, so don’t fall for it.10 yearsGot 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!British Gas10 yearsJust before Christmas in 2016, I got a phone call claiming I owed £4000 to Scottish Power. They wanted me to confirm details from my last bill, but I wouldn't give anything. Then they said an engineer would show up around noon. I quickly rang Scottish Power using the number from one of my actual bills to check things out. After they checked my meters, they told me I actually had credit on both. I ended up lodging a complaint the same day. It's definitely a scam. Then, on 4th January 2017, I got another call from a woman with an Asian accent repeating the same story about an engineer visiting at midday. I told her the police were already involved and she hung up straight away.Scottish Power10 yearsi got a call from someone saying they were with british gas, telling me that an engineer was heading to check my electric meter because it was showing wrong readings and i was paying more than i should. when i said i'd have my own electrician take a look, they just hung up on me.British Gas10 yearsGot 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!British Gas10 yearsNo words, just silence before hanging up.10 yearsI 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!10 yearsGot 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.10 yearsI 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.10 yearsToday I got a call from this number telling me they'd send a meter reader over tomorrow. When I asked about their security checks, like how they verify our details, the caller just hung up on me. Actually, folks from this same number 07403 877369 called yesterday too, asking about our last bill amount and the supply number. I contacted my energy provider, and they said it wasn’t them at all. They told me it’s a scam and suggested I report it to the police.10 yearsthey just stayed quiet for a bit then some robot voice said goodbye! Honestly, way better than having to listen to all that annoying stuff!10 yearsBeware, got a call from Scottish Power, who aren’t even my energy provider, wanting to send an engineer over to my shop for a meter read! Total scam if you ask me!Scottish Power10 yearsWhenever I pick up, there's just silence at the other end - it's really frustrating.10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me about 10-12 times every week. It's this rude lady with an Asian accent, saying we'd get a massive bill from some company that doesn't even provide our power! Then she keeps talking about sending an engineer over to check our meter. Total con, no doubt! I just tell her to get lost! Folks like this are just a big waste of everyone's time!10 yearsAnother scam call got me, they claimed to be from Western Power and said they needed to send someone over to check our meter. When I asked who our supplier was, they couldn't give me an answer and just ended the call. Very suspicious!Western Power10 yearsThis 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!10 yearsToday I got a call from an Asian woman asking about who supplies our energy. We said it was British Gas and that we weren’t looking to switch. Then she claimed she was from British Gas and told us there was an error with their system, saying we’d get a massive electricity bill - first she said £3,500 and wanted our supplier number, saying an engineer would come by the next day to check our meter. Foolishly, we gave her some info from our most recent bill like she asked. Afterwards, feeling uneasy, we ended the call, but she rang back on a different number, 0207 5666 777, and told us the new bill figure was now £7,500. We hung up again and decided to call British Gas ourselves. They said they’d never contacted us. While I was speaking to them, the woman called three more times before stopping. Seriously, don’t talk to this caller - it’s definitely a scam!British Gas10 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, some asian lady saying she was setting up a time for an SSE engineer to come and check our electric meter tomorrow. Asked for our supplier number but we don't even use SSE! I said I'd check and get back to her if she could give me a number to call, but she couldn’t! She said she’d ring me back later, I told her not to bother. What a waste of time!SSE10 yearsGot a call from someone with a strong foreign accent pretending to be from EDF about checking our meter. Thing is, we never even signed up with EDF. When I told them that, the rude woman just slammed the phone down on me. Complete rip-off, pure scam.EDF10 yearsEvery time I pick up, there’s just silence on the other end - so frustrating!10 yearsThis number just dropped a robotic "bye" and hung up.10 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, and it was clear they were trying to flog something with all that scripted talk. Proper frustrating, especially since I was busy fixing a washing machine then! Honestly, it winds me up how telemarketers ring folks out of the blue without a care for what’s going on. EON? Absolute ripoff, no doubt about it.EON10 yearsThis number keep calling E.ON customers, using the exact same lines over and over. Pretty sure it’s a scam tryin to get personal info so they can do fraud with accounts. Best to just block them right away.E. ON10 yearsIt’s so frustrating, every time I pick up there’s just silence and then some robot voice saying “goodbye”. No one ever actually talks!10 yearsGot a call from a rude woman claiming she’s with British Gas. She said she needs to check our bill and that someone would come round to read the meter. Felt like a total scam to me.British Gas10 yearsI picked up the phone and there was nothing but silence at first, then suddenly an automated voice came on saying "goodbye." Really irritating.10 yearsThere was a long pause and then out of nowhere a robotic voice just said "bye". What’s the deal with that and why would someone do that?Submit Your Own Report (024 2622 7277)
