It was a text message, purportedly from Scottish Power. However, their text messages are headed ScotPower but this one was just a number so immediately suspicious. I did call because I have only just paid my bill, but was worried it was a scam and hung up as soon as the music started.

Scam - called me about scottish power bills. I'm not with scottish power so defo a scam. Avoid like the plague. Block it immediately.

Has tried to get me on my mobile and home land line, purporting to talk about the company I work for. Don't know how they got my personal phone details. Very dangerous.

I believe a scam Glaswegian caller said he was from Scottish power wanting information on address details but would not say why.

It may be Scottish Power. I am in dispute with them over a totally inaccurate estimated bill, despite the fact I have repeatedly advised them of the correct readings and emailed photos of the meters. They billed me for a meter I haven’t even got which apparently is pretty well par for the course for them. Having said that their genuine phone calls are usually more up front, although can be a bit threatening, talking about litigation and installation of pre paid meter, bearing in mind this is their error, I settled the account in full when I closed the account! The last calls I received after dialling their published help line were from South Africa but were genuine Scottish Power. I think this number is some sort of scam and I suspect that perhaps someone has knowledge of Scottish Power disputed accounts, they have plenty, they are a shambles despite the very polite and affable people on the customer service or complaints help-desk. Inside job? This morning the 0141 number called me on both my mobile and land line with a very garbled and poor quality call asking me to press buttons 1 or 2 to discuss, classic scam.

Call from Glasgow Said name was James from Scottish power Asked a lot of questions which made me suspicious as they have never called before Told me I owe over 400 and wanted to take payment or pass to debt collection I am in debt with then but not that amount I told him to post full details and not email them Hopefully this is a scam or I’m buggered

Said they were Scottish Power, with whom we have an account, and wanted to talk the account holder. Asked him to confirm name as well as first line of address & post code. Then asks for date of birth which he refused to give, and phone number. Again refused to give that as they called him to start with. Said the details were so that they could access our account. They wouldn’t even give a general description eg tariff or smart meters. The number they gave for us return the call was that for Scottish Power. We haven’t bothered. Asian accent.

Scottish Power

Called my mobile, didn't recognise, so didn't answer. Scottish Power does sound about right, plagued with dept threatening calls and texts from them for 2 years now. Never been with them.

I call back nobody answer....for 3 minutes.

Did not recognise number so didn’t answer. Others say it’s Scottish Power, it makes sense as I have been bombarded with threatening dept texts from them for 2 years now, I have never been with them. Oh well I guess it gives them something to do.

no answer on the other end....?
