7 yearsI received a rather suspicious call from a chap named James, or at least he claimed to be, inquiring about a supposed issue with our meter. He mentioned that he was representing Opus, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. His questions were rather odd, especially for someone who was supposedly from the company. Although I did share some details, none of it felt particularly sensitive. I asked him for a contact number, which he provided as 0800 3246809. However, when I tried ringing that number after our chat, it wouldn’t connect - very curious indeed!JamesOpus8 yearsI received a call from a chap named James Patel, who claimed there was some sort of technical glitch with their systems and wanted to verify our MPAN number. He shared a partial supplier number with me, so I inquired about which MPAN he was referring to and asked him to confirm our address. He managed to get the address spot on, which made me a tad suspicious-just to be safe, I noted down his phone number to double-check the MPAN later. Upon looking into it, I discovered it didn’t match at all. I attempted to ring him back, but alas, got a message indicating it was an incorrect number. It's clear to me this was a scam!James PatelMPAN9 yearsI received a phone call from a chap named James who claimed to be representing Opus. When I asked for confirmation of his identity, he provided a Supply Reference. At first, I thought it was acceptable to continue the conversation and ended up sharing some details. However, my manager quickly intervened and advised me to halt any further information sharing, pointing out that if he were genuinely from Opus, he would already have that info. I requested his name and contact number to ring him back, which raised my suspicions. After reaching out to Opus directly, it turns out they never reached out to me. They've also confirmed that there will be no alterations made to our account. Always remember to look up any unfamiliar numbers before engaging!JamesOpus9 yearsI just had an unexpected call from this number, claiming to be a chap named James, although he spoke with a rather strong Indian accent! He was querying about our Gazprom meter details and account number, and then inquired about when our contract was set to expire, which he asserted was incorrect. Then, he mentioned our direct debit payments and started indicating he needed to verify some information. That’s when my instincts kicked in. I requested his name and contact number, stating I’d like to refer this to our utility brokers. He promptly replied that they don’t liaise with brokers, which really raised a red flag for me, as our brokers always have dealings with Gazprom. I highly advise against sharing any personal details and suggest you ask for their contact number first (be sure to look it up online!).JamesGazprom9 yearsDeceitful brokers are attempting to pry into my affairs.9 yearsI received a rather curious phone call from this number at my business, inquiring about my electricity account details. They claimed they needed to verify some information and stated they were calling on behalf of my supplier. They had some specifics at hand, which made it somewhat credible at first; however, the level of detail they sought regarding my payments raised my alarm bells. It all felt rather dodgy, so I refrained from sharing any information. After a quick chat with my actual supplier, I discovered they had nothing to do with this call. It seems like this might be a data collection outfit aiming to sell something under the guise of legitimacy. When I confronted them about it, they flat-out denied any ulterior motive. To safeguard myself, I’ve now arranged a password with my energy provider to ensure I can authenticate any future calls!Submit Your Own Report (0800 324 6809)
