This for sure is a scam. They try to say they're from the DWP and that your national insurance number is frozen cause of some fraud. I rang the DWP myself to double check and they told me it’s not them, it's just a con.

Got a call from 08000489979 at around 15:32 today, picked up and they just hung up, sounds like one of those call centres. Also noticed they called me back on 29/04/20 and 04/05/20. Really annoying.

Woman called, knew my name and claimed she was from Boost. Asked if I was using my new pay-as-you-go smart meter. I said yeah. Then asked if I was doing it online, I said yes again. After that she just said thanks and hung up! I feel a bit daft for even replying, she never asked for any personal info. Should I be worried about this?

If folks just ignored cold callers, they’d probably give up pretty quick. But since some do answer, it keeps going. I personally don’t bother with them, and for any firm that rings or sends stuff out uninvited often, I make sure to avoid them completely - and I’ve done that quite a few times now.
6 years
Definitely a spammer - probably one of those cold callers or a scam attempt.

Got a call from someone called Gary at Boost, wanting to chat about upgrading my gas and electric. He asked if I’m “still” topping up at the shop, which I’ve never done. He knew my name though, so it’s clear some other firm is just handing out info to these cold callers.

Someone called me asking for Stacey something (not me), I said I wasn’t, then they just said oh sorry, wrong number and hung up.

I've received some disturbing calls recently, and it’s been quite unsettling. Someone's been ringing me and my mates, urging us to end our lives. In fact, one of my pals got a particularly chilling message that went along the lines of, "If you don’t take that step, I’ll do it for you." It’s honestly very concerning and we’re trying to make sense of it all.

Ive seen these 'energy boost' calls popping up loads on this site, each time from a new number. They seem to use one number for a bit then switch to another. I reckon its dodgy and probably a scam. If youre getting these calls, I’d say report them to the police scam database. Just google 'action fraud', find the 'police.uk' website, then head over to the reporting page to flag it as a possible phishing scam.

‭0800 048 9979‬ So, this bloke called me about some kind of meter that lets you top up gas and electricity from home. I hadn’t handed over any bank info or anything, and he never asked for it. Weird thing is, he already had my name, date of birth, address, and email. He said he’d email me the details after I said I was interested. Do you reckon I’ve done something daft here? 😬

For about a week now I've been getting calls every single day at the same time. I always pick up, but no one is there - just some faint background noise like someone's in the room but not talking. Honestly, it's a pointless call so I stopped bothering with it.
6 years
They’ve been ringing me non-stop since I picked up once. When I said hello, it was dead silent then they just cut the call. Next day, same thing happened - I answered and they dropped the call immediately. Now they’re phoning me around twice daily, hanging up as soon as I pick up. Even when I reject the call, they ring back almost straight away. Had to block the number cos it feels like pure harassment and honestly, it all sounds pretty dodgy to me.

I picked up but there was no answer, so I just blocked the number and removed it from my contacts.

About 0800 Numbers
