08457023461 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08457023461 👆 is reported as a company contacting people to collect meter readings, often claiming to act on behalf of various electricity or gas suppliers. Recipients frequently express suspicion due to unsolicited calls, requests for postcode and meter details, lack of clear identification, and discrepancies with established supplier procedures. Many users report these calls as intrusive, persistent, and sometimes associated with premium rate charges, leading to warnings about potential scams. While some confirm the firm is a legitimate meter reading agent working for multiple suppliers, the communication is often viewed as poorly managed and raises concerns about data security and authenticity. It is generally advised to submit meter readings directly through your supplier’s official channels and to avoid sharing personal information with unknown callers.

Got a voicemail telling me to ring back and give meter readings plus my postcode. No chance! I’m already with a decent provider and just sent my readings in. Not handing over my details to some unknown number. If it’s about smart meters, I’m definitely not interested - they’re not good for public health, in my opinion.

Got a call from someone saying they were with my electric company askin for meter readings. Total nonsense since I’m on a mobile home site and pay the landlord direct. Don’t trust that sort of call!

Heads up, someone rang me asking for meter readings, claiming they were from my energy provider but turns out they weren’t legit at all. I looked into it and they had no connection to my supplier. Also, this 0845 number isn’t free and usually not covered by phone plans, so if you get stuck on the phone with them it might run up a big bill. Be careful!

Beware, this is a rip-off. They make you pay £3 per minute just to listen to your readings.

Like a few others here, I found a voicemail on our answerphone requesting a meter reading along with our house number and postcode. The company they claimed to represent wasn’t one I recognised, and they never mentioned the energy provider they supposedly worked for. They also gave a website: [#]myreading{###]. Honestly, I didn’t bother checking it out because if this is genuine, it’s really badly explained and quite unclear. I’m pretty sure it’s dodgy though.

Got a call from 03300162167 asking for my meter reading and postcode, but it wasn’t from my energy provider at all. Seems dodgy to me, so I’ve blocked the number and added it to my reject list. Suspicious behaviour for sure.

I missed the call so my answerphone took it. The person asked for a meter reading but never said who they were working for. They left a number and a website to submit the reading, but neither matched our actual energy provider. They also asked for our postcode and house number. Since I just sent our meter reading in online recently, it feels a bit dodgy to me.

Got a call from 01942614100 claiming they were from my gas and electric provider, asking me to text them back and give my postcode and other details. My energy company has this handy app where I just send my readings each month, and obviously they’ve already got my postcode. So, I’m not about to reply or bother with myreading.net at all!

They rang me at 8:25 this morning, claiming to be doing a survey on smart meters for Scottish Power - who I'm sure sold them my number. I wasn't impressed and made it clear they’re not to ring back. Been awake for ages, but at that time, I’d expect a call only if there was a family emergency. Honestly, can’t they wait till after 9am?

I got a voicemail from them asking about readings, but they’re definitely not my supplier and I’ve no idea who they are. I actually provide readings straight to my provider online, so I’ll just ignore their message.

We received a card shoved through our letterbox urging us to either ring this number or visit their website, myreading.net. Out of curiosity, we decided to have a look online first and discovered that it’s a scam. Oddly enough, the card didn't even reference the energy company we use!

My mum got a call from 08457023461 and because she struggles to hear, she asked the woman on the other end to speak up. Instead of helping, the lady started yelling, which upset my mum so much she accidentally dropped the phone. This was really upsetting and felt like harassment from a number we didn’t recognise.

A card came through my letterbox requesting that I ring a specific number to submit my electricity meter readings. The company is named 'Lowri Beck', and they claim to gather readings for Extra Energy and a few others. I’m rather baffled, as I already submit my readings straight to the Extra website. When I mentioned this to them, they insisted they still required the information. I couldn’t help but ask, “Why on earth do you need it?” The answer remains elusive! Additionally, be cautious-calling them costs about 12p per minute, which is what I found out when I rang from my landline. It turns out these calls aren’t included in my free minutes.

Got a voicemail from a woman claiming to be with Lowri Beck Services, wanting my electric meter reading. She asked me to call her back with the reading, plus my postcode and house number, or to visit www.myreading.net. But since she never said which supplier she was with and didn’t have my details, I’m pretty certain it’s dodgy and won’t be replying.

We received a message on our answering machine that had an unexpected twist. It sounded like a young lady conversing with someone-presumably on his mobile. We suspect he didn't realise his call to us had actually gone through. Consequently, we ended up catching a snippet of about four seconds of his private chat with a mate!

This afternoon, we received a recorded message on our phone asking us to provide a reading either by calling the number or visiting the myreading.net website. We're a bit wary about it since they failed to mention which supplier required this information. After glancing through the comments here, it seems we’re leaning towards bypassing Lowri Beck and instead reaching out directly to our actual supplier.

Got a voicemail asking for my gas and electric meter numbers. They then wanted my postcode and house number along with the readings. Seemed a bit fishy to me. I usually submit my meter readings online every four months, and once a year someone actually comes round to check the meters in person.

We received a call on our mobile from this number, and the caller left a message claiming to represent our electricity provider. However, they mentioned the wrong supplier’s name, which raised our suspicions, so we hung up before they could continue. It felt rather dodgy to us, but who can say for certain? Even if it were a genuine inquiry, we’re not keen on receiving calls from outside firms on our personal phones. This has occurred before, and we’ve had experiences where individuals obtained our details and used them to change our supplier without our approval.

When npower mentions that these individuals "use Lowribeck for meter readings," I reckon it would make far more sense if Lowribeck actually carried out their duties instead of incessantly ringing me up, expecting me to do their work for them or fork out for pointless calls. To top it all off, the last time these folks came around to read the electricity meter after I neglected to pick up the phone, they left the cupboard door wide open, flapping about and exposed to the elements! Thank goodness I was home at the time. Wouldn’t it be lovely if people just did their jobs properly for once?

We received a call from this number regarding our NPower meter reading. Interestingly, we found a card left at our doorstep instructing us to contact that very same number. This leads us to believe that it was indeed legitimate.

I've recently been in contact with Lowri Beck, who appear to be liaising with my energy provider regarding meter readings. It baffles me that my energy supplier hasn't taken the initiative to communicate effectively with them, as I regularly submit my readings via their online portal. Just the other day, I was at home when a card was shoved through my letterbox from Lowri Beck, stating they’d visited while I was out! Honestly, I reckon the chap didn’t even bother to knock or ring the bell-such a palaver!

We received a rather peculiar message on our answering machine the other day (07/11/08) from someone asking for meter readings.

I got a call from someone saying they were from NPower, asking for meter readings for our business. When I called back, it turned out they didn’t have the right info about us.

I've been contacted by a firm I'm not familiar with at all, asking for my meter readings. The curious thing is, they’re not specifying which meters they're referring to. So, I've decided to hold back and not provide any details.

Lowri Beck operates as a legitimate company for meter readings, and I can vouch for that as I’ve been in their employ. My role entails taking readings not just for Npower, but also for Southern Electric, Utility Warehouse, OPUS, E4B, and, more recently, EDF. There's no necessity to ring up a number to report your readings; instead, you can conveniently submit them on your energy supplier's website. I trust this information helps to alleviate any worries you may have had.

I received a message requesting that we contact ‘em, which I ended up hearing on our answering machine. It struck me as rather suspicious, especially when it said "on behalf of your supplier". There’s absolutely no chance I’ll be returning the call or engaging with their website-this reeks of something quite dubious, and I can't shake the feeling it's a scam.

We've received two calls from this number over the past month or so on our mobile, claiming to be calling on behalf of npower, which is our energy provider. They were insisting on getting our electricity and gas readings. I let them know that we had already submitted our readings to npower just a few days prior, but they still insisted they needed them regardless. I haven't shared any information with them since they keep ringing while I'm at work. It all feels a bit suspicious to us, to be honest.

I received a call earlier today and they left a voicemail. The message suggested that they were representing our electricity provider, asking us to either call 08467 023461 or visit myreading.net to input our information. However, I contacted our actual electricity supplier to verify this, and they confirmed that these individuals are not affiliated with them. Apparently, they don’t request meter readings in this manner. It all seems rather dodgy, if you ask me.

I’ve been conducting all my readings online and had just finished one. If this is a legitimate company, entering the phone number should lead you straight to their official website. But instead, it only directs me to this site. Furthermore, they failed to provide either their name or company name, which I find quite odd.

I had a similar experience recently. I conduct all my consultations online, and had just completed one. If it's a legitimate company, entering the phone number should lead to their website, but instead, I only found this page. Furthermore, they didn’t provide any name or company details at all. Quite odd, if you ask me!

In the past, when this wasn't an 0845 number, I’d have no qualms about ringing them back to report our readings. However, as I’m currently on a plan that allows for free calls to landlines, I end up getting an automated message informing me that my call will go through a chargeable service, meaning I’ll have to fork out for the call. Quite frustrating, really!
