Claims to be from British Gas requesting details from invoices and meters. Becomes very argumentative when you refuse this or ask that they put it in writing.
called claiming to be from octopus energy, saying there was an issue with my last bill. I said it sounded suspicious when he was asking for certain information. I said I was going to end the call. He called back and asked me why did I hang up. He sounded more genuine so i started to give him further information about my account. Then it started to sound suspicious again. I said that it was weird and I will call Octopus myself. He got a bit aggressive on the phone and wouldn't give me his name
Claimed to be from YU Energy and that there was a problem with billing. Received bills from YU Energy, they never call us. Wanted to confirm meter numbers, addresses, account numbers etc. Hung up. Phishing for information to sell your details to brokers

Again, same as the majority of messages here, pestered me to provide invoice details. Supposed to be from Pozitive Energy, but when challenged could not confirm simple details. Bad line so requested them to email which she said she would do, but they tried calling again instead . We just hung up.
They claimed they were from EDF my energy supplier and needed to check my invoicing information. They call every month. Each time I ask them not to call our number any more.
Asian man claiming to be from British Gas, asking for meter numbers etc. We are not supplied by British Gas for the property reported. I was suspicious of the call, so looked up the number to find a number of other reports of the same nature.
Often call saying they are from Octopus metering dept. Overseas Asian call centre scammers.
Claimed to be from British Gas calling about a problem with our recent bill from their meter reader due to an error with the postcode. Despite us having smart meters...

Saying they're from British Gas and then get angry when you tell them they're not.
The caller claimed to be from EDF, asking about “accounts”, but I do not have any EDF contract at my address. The caller had a heavy Indian accent and the conversation was clearly suspicious, so I ended the call immediately.
