03330164779 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03330164779 👆 is reported as a phone number primarily used by Providor, a legitimate subcontractor handling smart meter installations for Scottish Power and other energy suppliers like Octopus Energy. While many calls are genuine appointment confirmations or service-related, numerous users report frequent, persistent, and sometimes unsolicited calls, leading to accusations of harassment, especially when recipients have declined smart meters or are not Scottish Power customers. Some calls appear suspicious or potentially spoofed by scammers exploiting the number, with aggressive tactics or unclear identification prompting caution. It is advisable to verify any unexpected calls directly with your energy provider, avoid sharing personal details unless pre-arranged, and consider blocking the number if calls become excessive or unwanted.

He called up trying to sell me a smart meter even though I mentioned my energy company already said I can't have one since I share my line. But he kept saying it’s doable and said he'd ring back to have another go.

Scam from this number 0333 016 4779. Scammers can spoof this number so it looks like it comes from Scottish Power. This number can no longer be kept as safe. This is now a scam telephone number.

Got a call about setting up a smart meter installation. I was expecting one to be fitted soon, so I figured it might be genuine and gave them my address. But then, I felt a bit iffy about it all, so I rang up Scottish Power to check. Turns out, it was a con - they said they hadn’t asked anyone to come out and install a meter for me. Definitely some kind of scam going on.

Got a call from an unfamiliar number but didn't pick up. After seeing the other comments here, I'm pretty sure it was some firm linked to Scottish Power since I recently got a smart meter fitted. Not long after, the same number rang my landline and showed up as "Sureseve | Scot" on my caller ID. They were checking in to ask if the smart meter installation went alright.

This number has never rung through to me cause my phone flags it as likely spam, so I just block those automatically. But after seeing some of these replies, it seems like it might be about smart meters? I'm not interested in getting one but they've been calling me relentlessly. For the last couple of weeks, they've been ringing every single day, and before that it was about once a week for the last year or so. It's really getting on my nerves. Does anyone know who I should complain to about this?

These folks from some energy company called Cloak & Dagger keep ringing me up about installing a Smart Meter. I've told them flat out that I’m not interested, and honestly, it’s not like I’m forced to get one. Yet they keep bugging me with calls day after day. This kind of persistent nagging should be stopped by trading standards or the ombudsman. It’s proper harassment at this point.

The moment they said "We're calling from Provider," I knew something was off - like, which provider exactly? When I asked, they said Scottish Power, and then started trying to schedule a smart meter installation, but I declined nicely. This is the third time in three days they've called with the same spiel. I'm just gonna block the number now.

I don’t even have Scottish Power as my energy company but they ring me every couple of months asking if I’m interested in a smart meter. I’ve told them loads of times and also the “provider” they mention but they just keep phoning me. Plus, I moved out of that place ages ago. It’s getting a bit much now!

Scottish Power keeps calling saying the government made it mandatory to fit a smart meter. But it’s not compulsory, and I’m refusing one because they hike up your energy bills to cover the £400 cost of the meter! Everyone I know is paying way more now, so I just send them my meter readings myself. They ring constantly, but I’ve blocked their number!

On the 28th of June 2024, I received a phone call purporting to be from Scottish Power. However, I suspected it was a scam right away, as I'd recently had a conversation with them regarding suspicious messages I’d received. These texts claimed that I needed my smart meter inspected by an auditor, and included the installation date of the meter installed by Scottish Power. Strangely, there was no mention of who had sent the message or any reference to my account number. To get to the bottom of it, I decided to reach out to Scottish Power directly, only to be informed that the communication was indeed fraudulent. Quite alarming, really!

I’ve had about half a dozen calls from Scottish Power in a single day, each one trying to set up a smart meter installation. It feels like they won’t take no for an answer and it’s honestly getting a bit much. I’ve ended up blocking their number now because it’s just constant pestering. Seriously, how many times do you have to say no before they back off?

They've rung me once more, around three weeks since the previous call. I didn’t pick up again though. Whether it’s a scam or legit, I’m definitely not interested in getting a smart meter - heard quite a few negative stories about them. Since these calls only happen every so often, I won’t classify it as harassment yet, so I’m leaving it as unknown for now. But if they start calling more often, I might have to change my rating to something worse.

Received a call from 03330164779 but didn’t pick up as I didn’t know the number. Later I rang back and found out it was a firm called "Providor" or maybe "Provider", trying to arrange a smart meter installation. I’ve had similar calls before from another company saying they were working for Scottish Power about smart meters. When I checked with Scottish Power directly, they said they only arrange installs via their own booking system. This is not just dodgy, it’s downright annoying and feels like harassment.

Got a call about a problem with my smart gas meter installation application. The guy had the right meter number from my gas bill and was aware of my situation regarding the smart meter application. He didn’t ask for any new details or access to my property. The male caller knew my actual meter number differed from the registered one and said Scottish Power hadn’t updated it properly, so the upgrade couldn’t proceed. No appointments were set up or even asked for. He mentioned he’d return the request to Scottish Power. Nothing about the call made me think he wasn’t legitimate.

This is "Provider", a company that installs smart meters, gas and electric, often working with energy suppliers (like Octopus in my situation) to fit your smart meter. If you’ve booked an install, it’s probably them calling. But it seems they might also ring for other, unexpected reasons...
