Numerous users report being called despite no existing account or meter with the company, and several express concerns about harassment, rude conduct, or attempts to obtain personal and bank details. While some claim to have legitimate contact and meter installations from Boost, the overall sentiment is wary, urging caution, blocking the number, and avoiding engagement to prevent potential scams or unwanted marketing.

Got a call from 0800 048 9789 on 4/8/22. The person said they had spoken to me earlier about my private health insurance. I asked which company it was since I’m expecting a call from my work’s healthcare provider. The caller just went quiet and then hung up. Definitely spam. Can’t believe I even picked up! Have blocked the number now.

I’ve been getting calls from this number every single day for close to two weeks now. Never had the chance to answer so I looked it up and ended up here, which is exactly what I suspected. Today they left me a voicemail but it was just silence before the call ended.

They tried to register an elderly person even though that person isn’t accountable for any payments. I tried ringing the number back but just got an answerphone saying the office is shut and to call between 9am and 6.30pm, even though it was 2.07pm in the afternoon. In the end, I managed to cancel it by contacting Boost straight away.

This number started ringing me last year claiming I’d been in an accident, which I definitely haven’t. So I blocked it as spam. Since the start of this year, they’ve called three times again but now they say they’re from an energy firm named Boost. I wouldn’t trust them at all. I asked to be removed from their call list both last year and recently, but they keep ringing me. Be careful with this one.

They said they were ringing about my interest in getting a smart meter, but I told them I don’t have a house, which is true, and they just went quiet and ended the call. Pretty much just guessing and hoping for the best, and then chucking the phone down like that was rude. C####

Got a call from Boost Energy about smart meters for gas and electric. As soon as they started introducing themselves, I just ended the call straight away.

Got two calls, on the second I answered with 'Johnny’s pizzeria and the option clinic, where yesterday’s mistakes become today’s sauces,' and I was proper pissed off.

They called me a couple times today but I never picked up. I'm guessing they were after my card details or something. Good luck to them tho, got barely £1.75 left on my card anyway!

Bloody annoying cold callers, never stop ringing!

They gave me a ring but didn't bother to call back. If it was really urgent, you'd think they'd try again.

So, I got a ring today from this number. When I asked where they had got my digits, the woman said she couldn’t share that info. I told her to get lost, and then she just cut me off. Funny how that went down!

Got a call from this number but no one spoke or left any voicemail. Looks like one of those random cold calls. Just blocked it now.

They called me but didn’t bother to leave any voicemail. I’m not calling back unless they say who they are and what they want. Sounds like pure spam to me!

They've rung me a couple of times but never dropped a message. I usually don’t pick up calls from unknown numbers anyway - if they want to say something, they should leave a voicemail. Saw some reviews here and decided to block the number.
