Calls multiple times. Very aggressive and persistent. Calls from many different numbers. Has claimed to be 3 or 4 different energy suppliers. blocking each number as they come but keep calling on others.
We've had the same experience except he's saying hes from EON, very frustrating
Now he is phoning from this number, saying he is from pozitive energy, very rude and very aggressive, I have finally got him to put the phone down on me! Hopefully that is a sign he will not phone back
This guy is still operating. In our case he said he was from British Gas. He will use multiple numbers if you hang up on him.
Indian man named John wanted us to renew our energy contract with Eon. As one of my colleagues suggested, this man must be unable to hold down a job as, looking at other comments, he has worked for all the energy companies! We are no longer at the premises that he was calling about and he hung up when I asked where he was really calling from
the caller is rude aggressive and will not stop calling and threatening do not take his calls he claims to be fro brisiths gas saying his name is peter, an he also calls from a mobile number 07766967895 he is a scammer
Rude gentleman claiming to call from EDF in regards to contract expiring. when advised that we would be moving before that expires just hanged up
Called saying our Electricity contract is due for renewal in 3 months. Said he was from DRAX Energy (they are our Energy provider) I doubt if hes calling from DRAX Energy though as he would have known when our contract ends. I would suspect this is some sort of SCAM call. I'll wait and see if he calls back.
Called around 15 times within half an hour. Claiming to be from Opus Energy. Told the man we wasnt interested, but would call back immediately upon putting the phone down. Very rude, very persistant, and very annoying. Block the number, its a scam.
Tel number 01254 789652 claiming to work for OPUS Energy very rude and aggressive when I told him that I did not want to talk to him. As at now he has called 15 times this morning and I have told our switchboard to put the phone down. Then he calls back relentlessly and we just keep putting the phone down. They most certainly do not work for OPUS. We are a Security Company and ALL of our calls are Potentially alarms/fires etc that need prompt response therefore we cannot block calls or Police them all the time. This needs to be stopped; but how?
Said they were from British Gas and that they were our current energy provider (they are not!) as soon as I corrected him, he hung up.
I was called many times from this number, by Peter, saying they were from my Energy Supplier and that I needed to renew my energy from January 2023. I was given some prices from them and then another person phoned me from allegedly Utility Savers who offered me better rates. Finally I was called again saying I only had half an hour to renew or I would be disconnected. He did not stop talking and was very persistent which really annoyed me. I said this was ridiculous and put the phone down and he rang continuously, about 8 times whereby I would pick up and put down in the end I said I would contact my provider direct. I have had no more phone calls yet, but am trying to advise CAB scam line
Asian man rings us every day for at least a week says he's from British Gas, asks to speak to the owners of the business. I tell him they are working from home for the week, but he rings again the next day. He says that the tariff is up for review and he urgently needs to speak to the directors. Our contract rates are fixed with British Gas until January 2024.
Called claiming he was from my energy supplier. Very rude and confrontational. From the call I had it became apparent he was fishing for the details of my current contract.
