Reports on phone number 02871140045
1 yearI got a call from someone saying they were with EDF energy and needed to check my info against another customer because of an issue with a bill. When I asked questions, the person suddenly got quite rude and passed me to their so-called ‘supervisor’. I asked more questions and then they started being really hostile. I ended the call and blocked the number straight away. For starters, their English wasn’t great, which was a huge warning sign. Definitely felt like a scam to me.EDF Energy1 yearGot a call at work from a woman saying she was with British Gas, asking for details off our latest bill and meter number, saying she needed it to sort out a new bill. I gave her a bit of info but the whole thing felt dodgy. So I told her I was tied up and she could ring back later - then she called two more times right after! Ended up blocking the number.British Gas1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas, said there was some problem with our payment not going through. They tried to get me to give account info from our recent bill. Felt fishy right off the bat, so I just muted the phone and let them keep talking till they finally gave up and hung up. Tried ringing them back a few times over the next quarter of an hour but no luck getting through.British Gas1 yearThey’ve been ringing me a few times this week, all wanting account details. I’ve said a bunch of times we’re not office-based and asked for a mobile number, but all they did was hang up when I said to email instead!1 yearSomebody rang up pretending to be from British Gas, said there’s a technical problem and that our info isn’t valid anymore, so they need us to give our details again. Absolutely no way I’m falling for that!British Gas1 yearThis number rang me up thrice today. They already had a lot of my details - my bill info, serial point number, address and postcode, and even knew we were still tied into a contract. The only thing they got wrong was the contract end date, but I didn't notice much since we just renewed our electricity plan. Honestly, the caller was super pushy and quite disrespectful. I had to be quite blunt with them before they finally backed off. Safe to say, I’m blocking this one for good!1 yearI picked up and they just cut me off straight away, then rang back almost immediately. The caller had a strong accent and said he was from British Gas, asking for our church administrator. When I told him she wasn’t there, he ended the call pretty quickly.British Gas1 yearSome bloke rang me, claimed to be from British Gas Lite, asking for our meter number, address and the reading. He was really pushy, kept going even when I told him no. Proper dodgy if you ask me.British Gas Lite1 yearI got called again by someone claiming to be from EDF, saying they needed some details about my meter. I told them the number showed up as a scam and made it clear I’d only deal with them through my online EDF account.EDF1 yearGot a call from 02871140045 saying they were Eon Next, but the accent sounded overseas, and they didn’t have the right info about me. Pretty obvious it was a scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.Eon Next1 yearYesterday, our work phone got a call from 0287 1140045, with someone saying they were from British Gas. I asked for our account number but she wanted me to give it first so she could "verify". I hung up, but then she rang about 15 times. I just let them go to voicemail. Finally, I answered one more call, and she asked me if I was "crazy"???? I told her not to bother calling again and said I'd report the number. Haven't heard from them since.British Gas1 yearGot a call from 02781140045, some call centre saying there’s an issue with the meter’s serial number and that they were from Octopus Energy. She insisted she wasn’t selling anything or after my personal details. When I asked what the call was about then, she just went quiet. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Octopus Energy1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas Lite, but they couldn't tell me any of our supply info. Felt a bit dodgy to me.British Gas Lite1 yearGot a call from an Indian call centre claiming to be from Octopus Energy or something. They wanted me to verify my meter number but I wasn’t having any of it. When I didn’t play along, they got a bit annoyed. I ended up hanging up, but they rang straight back. So I just hung up once more. Total nuisance.Octopus1 yearGot a call where they acted like they were from EDF but kept saying they needed meter serial numbers and some details were off. Seems dodgy to me, pretty sure it's a scam. Just be careful and don’t give out your info.EDF1 yearSomeone called me pretending they were from EDF Energy, said they were from EDS or something like that. Felt like a total scam to me. Be careful if you get a call like that!EDSEDF Energy1 yeari think this was a total scam - the caller claimed to be from Scottish Power and even knew our address. they mentioned a “supplier number” too, but luckily i didn’t have any bills nearby to confirm, and they just ended the call right there.Scottish Power1 yearGot a few calls from some dodgy people claiming my meter number was wrong, total rubbish. They ended up hanging up on me. Luckily, I had some spare time while travelling, so I tried to keep them on the line as long as possible to stop them from bothering anyone else who might be more gullible.1 yearThey rang my work a few times even after I’d ended the call. Proper rude, especially when I told them I wasn’t falling for their scam and wouldn’t share any details. If they were really from my energy provider, they’d have my account number already, so why ask?1 yearToday, we had about 4 calls at work from someone claiming to be with SSE, asking for MPAN details from our invoices. We told them we were tied up and ended the call. They didn’t give up though and rang back three more times, even tried a different line. Quite persistent!SSE1 yearThey said they were from British Gas but as soon as I said I knew they were lying, they just dropped the call. Pretty obvious it was a scam.British Gas1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas, saying they couldn't confirm my meter reading. It felt a bit dodgy to me, especially since the number they used was from Londonderry - not sure British Gas would phone from there. Definitely didn't trust it.British Gas1 yearSomebody rang saying they were from my energy company. They read out my meter numbers and then asked me when my contract finishes. I told them if they were really my supplier, they should already know that. They went on about having a billing glitch and needing to verify every customer's details!1 yearGot a call about some dodgy meter reading ID, but when I asked which company they were from, they couldn’t give me an exact name. Told them to remove the company from whatever list they’re on, and suddenly they turned all rude. Totally felt like a scam to me!1 yearGot several calls from someone saying they were British Gas and needed to talk to whoever handles our energy bills. When I asked for details, they said there was some "technical issue" and they had to verify our customer info. I wasn’t having any of it. Told them straight up I’m not interested, but they kept ringing back. Ended up blocking the number now!British Gas1 yearGot a call earlier from someone claiming to be with Smartest Energy, asking me to verify some info. When I requested an email for confirmation, they insisted they couldn't send one. I told them to call me again after 5 minutes so I could check the number they were calling from. By the end, their attitude changed and they sounded quite rude. After that, no return call from them at all!Smartest Energy1 yearGot calls at our workplace loads of times from someone saying they're with EON, saying their system got our info wrong and they needed to double-check some details. Then they put us through to a 'Supervisor' who went through our full account number and address, but messed up the expiry date. While still on the line, I did a quick search on the number and found loads of warnings about it being a scam, so I blocked it straight away.EON1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be with EON about issues with my smart meter. I rang Eon myself afterwards and they told me it was definitely a scam.Eon1 yearClaimed to be British Gas, but I very much doubt it.British Gas1 yearSomebody called saying they were with Smartest Energy, which actually provides our business electricity, and asked me to confirm our account number - which I did. Then they started asking for gas info, even tho we dont have any gas supply here. Next thing, they sent me a code they said was from British Gas to change the password. I told them I felt uneasy about the whole thing and ended the call. Watch out, this seems dodgy!Smartest EnergyBritish Gas1 yearSome smart tricksters pretending to be from the meter company, watch out!1 yearI got a call from some bloke who said he was Patrick from BT, wanting to chat about our recent utility bill. Told him we couldn't talk right then and just ended the call with a quick goodbye.PatrickBT1 yearGot a call claiming to be from British Gas metering dept, but I knew straight away it was a scam. They kept asking for my meter readings, but I told them I’m not with British Gas and to stop ringing me. Hopefully they get the message and remove me from their list!British Gas1 yearGot two calls from someone saying they were with British Gas, telling me our meter readings don’t match the postcode so our bills are off. What creeped me out was how much detail he knew from our last bill! I rang the number back to check and it just said “welcome to Digital Solutions” on the answering machine. Definitely not British Gas!British GasDigital Solutions1 yearSome bloke rang me saying he was from Scottish Power, went on about how other local firms had messed up their meter readings. But when I asked for my company’s account details, he couldn’t get them right at all. Pretty obvious this was a scam attempt.Scottish Power2 yearsTried to scam me by pretending to be from Octopus Energy, saying they were my provider. Wanted to talk to the account owner about a bill. They stopped replying after I said I'd email them. Suspicious behaviour, definitely a scam.Octopus Energy2 yearsAbsolutely a scam, no doubt about it! Got a call from a woman with a foreign accent claiming she was from EON’s meter reading team, asking for MPAN details from a bill. I told her we don’t use EON. Then she called back from a different number than the one she initially gave me for their customer service. When I asked for proof of who she really was, she just ended the call. The number she gave wasn’t even for EON; it belonged to some other firm entirely.EON2 yearsGot a call saying they were from meter reading, seemed really dodgy and definitely a scam.2 yearsGot a call earlier from someone claiming to be with my energy company - they even got the name right. Said I was up for renewal soon. Pretty obvious it was a scam though!!2 yearsSomebody rang up pretending to be from British Gas and wanted my email address, felt a bit dodgy so I reckon it was a hacker.British Gas2 yearsI keep getting calls from this guy with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from what he says is Scottish Power, our energy supplier. Even after telling him over and over that we’re not interested, he still rings every couple of days about some "renewal quote." I've asked him multiple times to quit calling, but he just won’t stop. It’s really getting annoying now!Scottish PowerSubmit Your Own Report (028 7114 0045)
