1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were with the Meter Services Reading team, asking for my gas and electric readings, claiming I'd been paying too much. I just chuckled and they immediately ended the call!Meter Services Reading1 yearGot a call earlier from this number. The first thing they said was “how are you?” which I always find suspicious. The person on the phone claimed there was a problem with my meter and asked for the reading. They spoke with an Indian or Asian accent, and after a bit of swearing, I just ended the call. My meter is perfectly fine, nothing wrong with it at all.1 yearI tried to find out what her company actually offered or what services they did, but as soon as I asked she just got quiet and then ended the call.1 yearGot call from someone claiming to be with BT, but their voice had a really thick Indian accent. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.1 yearJust like loads of people have said, I got a call on my work number from an Asian lady who kicked off with "how are you?", which immediately made me suspicious. She claimed to be from the Media Service Department and needed an electricity meter reading. I cut her off mid-sentence and blocked the number. Moments later, I had another call from 02008882174, and when I picked up they just hung up - seems like the same scam trying again.Media Service Department1 yearGot a call from some lot that sounded like a scam from India. Didn't trust it one bit.India1 yearGot a call from some bloke in an Indian call centre trying that old meter reading trick. They say your usage is way above average and offer a refund, but it's just a ploy to grab your personal info. Don’t be fooled if they mention your energy provider and where you live - that stuff’s pretty easy to find online. I wasted his time for a bit and he kept ringing back, guess it was my little way of stopping him scamming someone else for a while.1 yearGot a call from someone pretending to be from the utility company.

They just won’t stop botherin’ us.2 yearsI got loads of calls, must have been about 10 in total. The person said her name was Mary and that she was ringing from Scottish Power.MaryScottish Power2 yearsGot a call from a guy sounding Asian, claiming to be from some 'electricity and gas company'.

I cut the call short since we’re not even with EDF for electricity.EDF2 yearsGot a call about a meter reading, then the bloke said my meter was broken and I needed a new one.

I said no way I’m giving that info over the phone. She kept asking why I wouldn’t. I called her out saying she was just trying to scam me. Then she told me to shut up and hung up on me.Michelle2 yearsSo, got a call from a woman with an Indian accent who wanted our meter reading, mentioned she knew our energy provider. I asked her why she was ringing since we’ve got one of those smart meters, and she said there might be some issue.

Tried to keep her talking for a bit so she wouldn’t bother anyone else, but after a while she gave up when I kept asking how long British Gas had been supplying my meter and if she could explain how to read it myself since ‘my husband passed away this summer’. It didn’t help her story either when I overheard her mates chatting in Bengali in the background like they were all in on it.EDFBritish Gas2 yearsGot a dodgy call about a meter reading, they claimed I'd been charged too much.
