03450729298 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03450729298 👆 is reported as a phone number linked to SSE (now part of OVO Energy) customer service that elicits mixed reactions. While confirmed by some as legitimate, users frequently describe poor service, foreign call centre accents, and unprofessional behaviour. Numerous comments warn the number is often exploited by scammers impersonating SSE, attempting to extract personal or financial information under false pretences, especially demanding security details or immediate payments. Many recommend never sharing sensitive data and to verify any calls by contacting SSE directly via numbers on official bills or websites. Due to widespread spoofing and scam activity, caution is strongly advised; ignoring unsolicited calls and blocking the number is recommended unless previously expecting contact from SSE, in which case verifying the caller’s identity remains essential.

Definitely a scam, don’t trust it.

This is Ovo SSE. They're chasing me over £414 which I don’t believe I owe, but it’s tough to figure it out since, like others have mentioned, you can’t seem to log in properly online. I use their app which I *can* access, but their customer service is awful - honestly, they come off as rude and unhelpful, and I don’t trust them one bit.

This number isn’t a scam, it’s properly connected to SSE/OVO. You should ALWAYS ring back using the number listed on your own account details because scammers might be faking this number to try and get your bank info or other personal stuff they could sell to criminals. I’ve seen some comments here saying that’s already happening. So be careful! But don’t just block calls saying you owe money - do your due diligence and check your payments with your bank records. I know OVO’s having some trouble merging with the SSE business at the moment.

How is anyone supposed to figure this out? SSE’s pay-as-you-go site doesn’t work anymore, so I set up an OVO account, and now both of them say my email’s no good. Absolutely rubbish.

I reckon it was SSE that I was dealing with, judging by the thick accent on the line, which was about as clear as mud. The call cut out after just a few minutes, reminiscent of my previous attempts to get through to them. It struck me as rather peculiar when they asked for Mr. Andrew - that's me, by the way - especially coming from your typical, bewildered call centre agent based who-knows-where. Honestly, SSE’s customer service is hands down the most disappointing experience I've had this century.

SSE, which I guess is now under OVO or something, used to be pretty chill but now they’re suddenly emailing me about paying this ridiculous bill straight away. Some folks say those calls I keep getting (that I haven’t picked up) are actually from them. Obviously, I’ll sort the payment online, not over the phone, but the whole thing feels kinda off.

I can confirm that this number genuinely belongs to SSE, which has now been acquired by OVO Energy. The call centre responsible for this number is located in South Africa. While it is indeed the customer service line, I must say my encounters with them have been terribly frustrating. It's not a scam by any means, but their level of service leaves a lot to be desired. Truly baffling how inept they can be at times!

SSE wouldn't ring up asking to verify your security info if they already knew who they were talking to! I'm getting emails trying to squeeze £102 from me for a bill I haven't paid, but my online account is actually showing a credit! Steer clear of this number. Strange how that sum is nearly the same as two months of government support we've had in our accounts!!! Seems like a GOVERNMENT SCAM right from the start. Poor people falling for it as well!!!

They keep ringing me non stop every single day, I never pick up numbers I don't recognise... learnt my lesson the hard way.

She claimed to be from SSE and kept asking loads of personal info to ‘verify me’ even though she was doing a cold call. After a lot of rambling, I asked what the call was about. She said she was from Collections and demanded I pay straight away over the phone. I didn’t go along with it and just settled my bills online like I usually do. I’ve reported the whole thing to SSE’s Complaints Department.

I received a similar call just about twenty minutes ago. The caller never mentioned SSE directly, but as a current customer of theirs, I can't help but notice the comments from others. It really makes you think-could there have been a breach of data at SSE? Honestly, in this day and age, it wouldn’t shock me at all. I've not come across any reports indicating that, but it certainly seems like quite the coincidence that we’re all either current or former customers who are experiencing this.

I'm receiving daily phone calls and texts from this number, and it's really starting to get on my nerves! I finally picked up, thinking I’d confront them since I’ve always used a pay-as-you-go service for my gas and electricity. But as soon as I mentioned that to the foreign woman on the other end, she just hung up! Despite that, the calls haven’t ceased. I’m on the verge of downloading the CALLBLOCKER app, fingers crossed it does the trick!

ABSOLUTELY A SCAM. They said they were collecting a debt and that I owed money to my energy supplier, but I’m fully paid, so it was obviously a con. They had my name, but when I asked them to tell me which company, my account details and how much I supposedly owed, they just ended the call. This is the third time they’ve called in two days. Blocked for good now.

Got a call from someone claiming to be SSE debt collectors! They wanted me to settle my bill over the phone with a card payment. Total scam, watch out!

I received a call from someone claiming to be with SSE, but I’ve got a strong feeling it's a dodgy scam. I usually ask them to send me a letter or mention that I'll check my account at my own pace. Interestingly, they hang up the moment I say that!

Got a call from this number and it was a really unpleasant lady on the line. Said she was representing SSE and told me I owed money that had to be paid. She wanted me to answer some security questions first though. When I said no, she started acting all pushy and rude, so I just ended the call. I do have an SSE account but there’s nothing owing on it.

Got a call from this number earlier today (18th July 2022), with someone saying something about my account and that I owed money. Since I'd already sorted all my bills on 8th July 2022, it felt off. Told them I wasn’t paying anything else or giving out any info, and they started getting a bit threatening, so I just ended the call.

Got a call earlier today saying there was a problem with my electricity bill. They wouldn’t explain more unless I gave them my info first. Rang SSE straight away and they told me no one from their side had rung me today.

somebody rang saying they was from Southern Electric, knew my name and address, then wanted me to confirm my dob. I asked why they needed it, they just kept repeating their script and said they couldn't say anything else unless I gave it. I said no way. I've got an SSE account but I can’t see why they’d need my dob, so why would they be askin’ for it?

I wasn’t really sure that was SSE calling. I could hear background noise that sounded like an Asian call centre. They asked to talk to the householder about the account but didn’t say much else before ending the call. It felt a bit odd and didn’t really make me trust they were genuine.

Got a call from someone claiming to be SSE saying I owed money and needed to pay upfront to avoid extra fees. But my SSE account is actually on hold right now because they sent me a wrong bill which they're checking out, so this caller definitely wasn’t SSE.

Although I don’t hold an SSE account, I still get hounded every couple of months by them claiming that I have an account with them. It’s quite baffling, really!

I received a call earlier that left me feeling a bit down. The person on the other end said it was SSE, and when they asked for my name, I replied that they should share it since they were the ones calling me. Strangely, just like that, they hung up! Seems rather dodgy to me, so I've concluded it was a scam.

She claimed to be from SSE and asked if I was the account holder. Well, you called me so surely you'd know? I told her yes, I have your details but if you want to talk about it, you need to give me your full name, address and bank info. I said no way and she just said fine that’s your choice, then hung up on me. Proper rude that.

Just got a call from this number, picked up and they hung up right away. We’re with SSE or whatever they're called now, OVO. We’ve been having some problems with them that they never sort out. I’ve marked it as unknown since they didn't say a word and ended the call as soon as I picked up.

I received a rather peculiar phone call from someone claiming to be from SSE around half three this afternoon. When I answered, the woman didn’t introduce herself; she simply mentioned she was representing SSE. There was a rather awkward pause before she asked for my name, to which I responded in the affirmative. Then, she proceeded to state that the call was for training and monitoring purposes, but her next request was quite concerning-she sought my bank details. Naturally, I questioned why she needed that information, to which she abruptly disconnected the call. Quite bizarre, I must say!

They claimed to be from SSE but it was hard to follow. Then they started asking for my name, address and date of birth, which I didn’t give. I asked what the call was about and they said it was regarding my electricity bill, the paper bill they send me monthly. I told them I don’t get any statements and ended the call.

In my view, this isn’t legit since the real SSE/OVO customer service numbers are 03450779710 and 03450262658, not the one that called me. If it was a proper utility call, they’d have your full name for sure.

Not sure who tried ringing me from this number. It rang, but I didn’t answer since the number they dialled is private and I never share it with anyone. I’m with SSE/OVO, but I’ve never given them my phone number, so this has to be just some random spam or sales call.

Im pretty sure this is really SSE calling, but I’m not a fan of them asking tons of questions that surely they already have answers for. Also, and I hope this doesn’t sound rude, but why do they have people working there who seem to struggle with English, especially when the issue isn’t straightforward? My partner can barely make out what they’re saying half the time, and I find it tricky myself sometimes.

They ring claiming to be from SSE yet ask for all your private info like they have no clue who you are, just trying to fish it out. The number might be from SSE but their ‘customer service’ method honestly feels a bit off.

It really is SSE. They rang me back after I emailed them. I asked them to prove who they were by giving me info about my account first, and they knew the name of another person on the account plus the amount of my electricity DD. So this number is definitely legit.

NO ISSUES WITH THIS NUMBER. IT BELONGS TO SSE/OVO, A MAJOR SCOTTISH POWER COMPANY PROVIDING GAS AND ELECTRICITY ACROSS THE UK. THEIR CALL CENTRES ARE BASED IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHICH EXPLAINS THE SOMEWHAT RUDE AND BLUNT ATTITUDE YOU MIGHT GET ON THE PHONE. BUT OVERALL, THEY’RE LEGITIMATE, JUST A BIT TACTLESS WITH THEIR SUPERIOR TONE. IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH THE RUDE BIT, EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE OK. NOT A SCAM, NOT DANGEROUS, AND THEY WON’T BOTHER YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS!

I got a voicemail from sse / ovo, but the lady on the message spoke such bad English I couldn’t really understand what she was saying. The only word that stuck out was ‘priority’. I even sent a letter to their Scottish head office asking to join their priority service scheme, but I’ve not had any reply even after weeks. So ovo, I never called back, but honestly, you need to improve your customer service quickly. The staff speak way too fast and almost no English, which makes things really difficult.

Hearing some bloke with a strong foreign accent, I couldn't understand a word he said. He asked me to ring back sometime else. There was loads of chatter going on in the background. If this was meant to be SSE, they seriously need to improve because the call just felt like a scam!

A chap named Moohamud from "SSE" rang me up, asking me to verify my personal information. I’ve got a pay-as-you-go electricity setup, and I just settled my gas bill yesterday. Honestly, I’ve never received a call from SSE in the four years I've been a customer. It seems like the influx of new arrivals in the country has led to an uptick in scam calls-cheers to Boris and Sturgeon for that!

SSE has been phoning me for months, insisting I'm the one liable for the bills at my workplace (which I definitely am not). Whenever I say they should contact our Finance Department instead, they get annoyed and start pushing me to pay up. I'm proper fed up of repeating myself.

I always get wary of calls where they barely give you any info but start asking who you are and say they need to verify your identity. Usually means the convo goes nowhere and they never tell you what they want. The caller just hung up after that pointless chat. Honestly, good riddance. Plus, if they truly had my details, why not just send a letter instead? Remember this rule folks: "DON'T EVER GIVE OUT INFO TO SOMEONE WHO SAYS THEY NEED TO 'CHECK' YOUR DETAILS."

They said they were from SSE and told me I owed them money. I ended up giving them my details, but when I mentioned that my benefits covered the debt, they just hung up straight away. I had a feeling it was dodgy after the call ended like that, and after seeing other comments here, it looks like I was spot on. If you’re on benefits like me, they seem to lose interest pretty quick since they probably assume you can’t pay.
