4 yearsBeen getting loads of messages from this number pretending to be from energy companies. I wonder how these scammers even get hold of phone numbers in the first place.4 yearsI got a message from this number saying it was from SSE, telling me they are making it simpler to pay my bill. The text asked me to click on a link or call the number, saying all I needed was my card details. What's strange is I've actually got a bill coming up. If this isn’t really from SSE, then someone must have got their hands on customer info.4 yearsJust got another pointless text message, total waste of time again.4 yearsBeware of SSE scams - don’t ever pay any suspicious bills from them!4 yearsI got three different texts, all saying they were from SSE. First one said they wanted to help with rising costs, then another advised me to check if my bill was right, and the last one used my name, telling me to call or email to pay. When I phoned the number, it just said "You owe £223" with no way to talk to a person. But since I pay by direct debit, I don’t owe a thing. Honestly, it seems like a tricky and smart scam to me.Debit4 yearsIt was definitely a scam pretending to be about an SSE bill payment.4 yearsGot a text claiming to be from SSE with a link in it, but I’m not about to tap on that. Definitely looks dodgy to me.4 yearsBeware of frauds pretending to be from SSE about payments!5 yearssomeone pretending to be from sse kept ringing me up like 110 times. it was proper annoying.5 yearsI got in touch with SSE’s support and was waiting for a reply from them. I settled the bill, but then SSE told me it wasn’t them contacting me. Turns out their customer service is run out of South Africa, and I reckon they’re leaking our info to scammers. Honestly, switching your electricity provider to a better, more trustworthy company might be the best way to avoid this mess. Never hand over money to anyone who sounds like they’re calling from abroad - it’s pretty much a scam every time.SSESouth Africa5 yearsDont trust this number at all, got a message saying i didn’t pay my SSE phone and internet bill which i actually have. When i ring them back, they start askin for my bank info and other personal stuff. Total scam, be careful, its just a fraud!5 yearsGot two texts supposedly from SSE about reactivating an OVO account and a link to settle a gas bill. The first one even mentioned my name, which freaked me out at first, but the messages were badly written and the links looked dodgy. The freephone number matches other scams I’ve seen reported. No way am I calling or clicking anything! I've reported it to 7726.SSE5 yearsGot a text supposedly from SSE so I rang the number they sent me. The automated voice had all my details and I went ahead and paid my bill through it. Later, the payment didn’t show up on my account. When I checked with SSE, they told me the number wasn’t real at all. Total scam!SSE5 yearsI got a message from a number saying it was SSE asking me to get in touch with them. Not too sure if it’s legit or some kind of scam.5 yearsI got a text from what was said to be an SSE contact number, but I’m a bit worried it could be some kind of scam.5 yearsCan someone tell me why I'm supposed to ring this number?Submit Your Own Report (0800 047 2816)
