Got calls from someone saying they were from Scottish Power, but it was clearly a scam from India. They rang me loads of times, had a really thick accent, and kept pushing me to share my personal info. When I said no, they turned quite sharp with me. I'd steer well clear of these lot!

When I first got a ring from this number, they just cut off straight away. Then the next time, I picked up and it was a woman speaking with a strong Indian accent, asking for a name but never said who she was. Seemed dodgy to me, probably a scam. Only told me it was SP after I asked who was calling. I’ve blocked them now, but they keep ringing and texting me to call back. I’ve never even been with Scottish Power, so no idea what they want.

This number keeps ringing me non stop. They keep messaging saying they’re from Scottish Power and it’s urgent about my bill, telling me to ring them back on that number. I just block them and don’t answer.

I'm pretty sure this was a Scottish Power con but how are they getting all these details? They mentioned a monthly payment I had when I stopped a direct debit. What’s weird is they didn’t seem to know I had set the direct debit back up straight away (I just wanted to switch the date) and kept saying I still owed money and the DD wasn’t active. If this is indeed a scam, they've clearly got hold of Scottish Power info since they knew the exact figure! Seriously, watch out for these people.

I've received multiple calls from this number, predominantly whilst I've been at work, hence I've not picked up. Recently, they sent me a text, and I eventually managed to have a chat with someone who claimed to be from Scottish Power, insisting that I owed in excess of £500. Just to clarify, I suspect it's a scam, so I'll be reaching out to Scottish Power myself to verify.

Someone rang me saying they were from Scottish Power about an unpaid bill. They seemed to want my private and bank details to steal money. I didn’t answer them but rang Scottish Power direct on their official number instead. They told me that number isn’t theirs, they’d never call asking for personal or financial info, and they’ve reported it to their fraud team. If you get calls from this number, just don’t pick up and block it, and make sure you tell Scottish Power.

Someone said they were from Scottish Power and sent me a text asking me to call a certain number. I rang up the official Scottish Power line and they told me it wasn’t them and they hadn’t contacted me by email since March. If Scottish Power wanted to get in touch, it would be via email or a phone number starting with 0345, not 0800. The person on the other end was quite rude as well.

They said they were from Scottish Power. I couldn’t really talk when they called, so I told them I’d call back later. The number they gave me seemed off, so I searched for a proper one instead.

Absolutely NOT Scottish Power. I've been getting bothered twice daily for the whole week, plus they keep leaving automated messages with a South African accent, demanding I phone back straight away. I contacted SP, and they said it’s nothing to do with them and that’s not their number. I was nearly tricked since my bill was late, but SP have reassured me it’s a scam and told me to just ignore it.

This number, along with loads of other mobiles, keeps ringing us pretending to be the Scottish Power payment progress team. They put us through to what sounds like the Scottish Power customer service menu. We’ve complained to both Scottish Power and the TPS, but the calls have started up again. It’s hard to know if it’s legit, even though Scottish Power say it’s not their number. They don’t seem eager to do anything about it though?

Got a missed call from this number earlier. Didn’t catch the ring as I was eating out. Would be comedy gold if it’s Scottish Power. Been going back and forth with them for weeks now, trying to tell them the debt they’re after isn’t mine at all, it’s not linked to my place, and definitely not a property I’m in charge of!

This is driving me mad, I’m waiting on a really important call from the hospital, so I answered. It turned out to be someone claiming to be from Scottish Power, and these lot have been calling me every single day for the past 10 days, changing the last two digits each time. I’m done with answering any 08000 numbers now, they all feel like scams to me.

Got calls from Scottish Power saying I owe them cash. I’ve not used them since 2016, had a pay-as-you-go meter back then. They ring me up nearly every day. Mostly, I get someone from China with messy English. Could this be a scam from overseas? They’re always rude and pushy, never ask for my details or even bother with my name, just want the money. This all started after I stupidly gave my phone number to an estate agent a few weeks ago. Feeling really harassed. Is it worth reporting this to the police?

Getting calls every day from 'Scottish Power' saying I owe them cash. I left their service back in 2016 and was always using a pay-as-you-go system. Oddly, most calls are from someone who sounds like they’re in China, speaking broken English. Feels like it could be a scam? They’re always pushy and rude, never have any of my real details or even my name - just demanding money. This all started after I gave my number to an estate agent finder a few weeks ago, which maybe was stupid. Really unsettling. Not sure if I should bother reporting this to the police?

Got calls supposedly from Scottish Power saying my payment is overdue! My bill's not actually due till the month finishes, but I've been getting loads of calls and texts from loads of different numbers all through the month. Every time i block one, they just ring from another number - it's so frustrating! I wouldn’t hand over any personal info and they wouldn't verify any of mine either.
