3 monthsI asked to talk to a manager about energy scam stuff. They left me on hold to check or something, but ended up just hanging up on me while I waited.9 monthsReally helped me sort out a long-standing problem with my utilities, definitely a genuine business.9 monthsSome bloke said he was ringing from the government about some sort of energy investigation that’s going on.11 monthsGot a dodgy call about overpaying my utilities, sounded like a scam to me.1 yearGot a call from some company called INDEPENDENT UTILITY ADVICE LTD. They’re on the TPS register but still cold call you. Definite scam, I reckon. The boss must be doing pretty well for themselves with this scheme!Independent Utility Advice Ltd1 yearGot a call from INDEPENDENT UTILITY ADVICE LTD saying they were conducting a government probe into standing charges and that answering was a legal must. Seems like a total scam to me.Independent Utility Advice Ltd1 yearAvoid Independent Utility Advice Ltd - total scam! They rang me even though I’m registered with TPS. I looked up reviews and they all say the same. They tried saying it’s a legal requirement to hand over your energy info, which is rubbish. Don’t fall for it!Independent Utility Advice Ltd1 yearSome bloke called from 'R U Advice?' claiming there was an urgent financial query for our accounts department about unpaid electricity bills. When I tried to get more info, he said it was linked to a big investigation over unpaid electric invoices. I had a laugh and told him we don't handle paying those bills, our landlord sorts it, then I just ended the call. He sounded pretty annoyed. Total scam, just dodgy. Best stay clear of these chancers.JoshR U Advice1 yearJust some desperate bloke having a go with his usual dodgy scams.1 yearHad a call from Josh at Im Advice about some financial check on our energy bills. I told him I wasn’t interested, but he kept going on about having important info and needing to talk to the accounts department. When he asked for the accounts name, I said no. That’s when he started sounding a bit grumpy. I suggested he just email ‘accounts’ and we’d pass it on, to which he sarcastically asked if the name was Mr Accounts. I replied yes, and then he just hung up on me.JoshIm AdviceAccounts2 yearsI got a random call from IUA (IU Advice) today, they straight up said they just look up numbers on Google and ring people without warning. When I called them out for cold calling, they just hung up on me. Didn't come across very trustworthy, honestly.IUAIU AdviceGoogle2 yearsThey rang up asking about when our energy contract was due for renewal. I told them we had just sorted it and to get in touch again in a couple of years. Pretty sure it was just another dodgy call!2 yearsHad a bloke on the line who was proper rude, wanted to speak to our finance department. I asked who exactly and he said the finance director. When I asked why, he just told me he already said, that he wanted to talk to finance. I told him I couldn’t connect him without a better reason - then I blocked him.2 yearsI U Advice is still bothering folks, from what I can tell. Seems like they haven't stopped.4 yearsThis person was really annoying and aggressive, ended up hanging up when I called them out!!4 yearsGot a call from Ben Mathews at I.U.Advise about some financial probe. They said to shoot an email instead cause they’re not answering phone calls.Ben Mathews4 yearsI got a call from someone called Ben claiming to be from IU Advice - total rip-off. Best just to ignore and hang up straight away.BenIU4 yearsSome bloke called Ben Matthews claiming to be a financial investigator or summat. I didn’t even let him say much 'cause he offered no real info and just wanted to chat about finances. Total scam, avoid!Ben Matthews4 yearsGot a call from some rude guy with a strong Northerner accent, claiming he’s in finance for energy companies or something. Told him I wasn’t bothered and he weirdly said I ought to be worried enough to lose sleep over it. Just ended the call - what a complete waste of time.North East4 yearsAlways ready with a reply, but comes off as really pushy.4 yearsSome bloke called Ben rang me, said he was doing some serious financial enquiry and wanted to talk to someone important. When I asked for details, he called me rude ‘cos I was just admin and said he couldn’t speak to Mel. Proper rude and disrespectful bloke. I looked up the number and loads of others had the same experience. Turns out it’s already been reported as spam!Ben4 yearsI received a rather pushy call from something called IU Advice. They were quite insistent on obtaining my personal details and when I pushed back, they began to raise their voice. Quite alarming, to say the least!IU Advice4 yearsSome bloke called asking for the finance team. I just replied with a straight-up “no” and didn’t say any more. Then he started shouting that I was being daft and claimed I was under some kind of serious money probe. He threw a couple more insults about me acting like a kid and then abruptly ended the call. I’m registered on the TPS, by the way.Telephone Preference Service4 yearsSo this bloke rings me up saying my energy deal was somehow missold to me. He was proper rude and pushy, not at all professional. Kept calling me "dear," and when I questioned him about it, he got all defensive and started asking what my problem was. Then, to top it off, he just dropped the call on me. Utterly frustrating!4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming there was an urgent issue with my account in the UK. Told them to stop wasting my time and to get a proper job instead. What a joke!UK4 yearsI got a call from Ben at IU Advice and he was seriously disrespectful. When I told him that we never asked for a callback, he got really loud and started shouting, insisting he wasn’t lying. Feels like a complete scam to me.BenIU Advice4 yearsI rang Ben back and he was really rude when I told him I'd checked the number and knew it was dodgy. He kept pushing and insisted he wasn't lying or risking his job. I don’t reckon this will be the last time he contacts me, but next time I’m just going to hang up straight away.Ben4 yearsSo this guy named Ben, claiming to be from IU Advice, rang up asking to talk with the finance department. I instantly knew it was one of those scams, so I told him to ring back later in the week. Then he asked for any day, and I said sure, any day’s fine. What made me chuckle was when he forgot to put the phone down and I overheard him grumbling, “I hate when people say call back later and then when you ask when, they say any day”. Honestly, I’m the one who hates scammers like him. Next time he calls, I won’t be nearly as patient!BenIU Advice4 yearsI got a call from some guy named Ben at IU Advice. He talked way too fast and said he needed to chat with finance. I left him on hold for a bit, but then he just ended the call. He mentioned they’re looking into a third party to check if we’ve worked with them before and said they’d decide what to do next after that.BenIU4 yearsGot a call from someone supposedly from IU advice, and they were pretty nasty. Said they were looking into a supplier we’ve dealt with, but wouldn’t tell me any details due to ‘data protection’. When I mentioned that data protection rules don't really cover companies, just people, they said I was wrong and then just disconnected the call! What a muppet!5 yearsthis guy called ben was really persistent, said he was from iu advice and wanted to talk to our finance team about some payment we’d made to a third party before. he wouldn’t give me any more details though, so i didn’t let him through. i even told him i’m one of the company directors but he still wouldn’t explain anything and just kept insisting to be put through to finance. eventually i just ended the call.BenIU Advice5 yearsGot a call from this really pushy guy who wouldn't share any details and just kept getting ruder the more I asked.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're from a firm looking into energy suppliers and why prices are going up.Submit Your Own Report (0800 029 1942)
