calling pretending to be british gas - had our email on file and sent a password reset request! - just tell them you have a direct contact for BG and they hang up
Pretending to be from British Gas stating our post code was wrong on the invoice as their meter reader had submitted it wrong & our read was mixed up with another business. LIES!! Easiest to disprove we've had no meter reader on site in the last year.
Supposedly from British Gas, apparently we have a leak lol as we are using too much!
Rang pretending to be from our supplier British Gas, only we aren't with British Gas. If they were in deed from British Gas, they would know that.
Claimed they were from EDF and that there was a problem with the readings on my meter trying to obtain information about my usage etc
Claimed to be from Octopus Energy and our business postcode was wrong. Asked if I'd received the latest bill/invoice. I asked if she was actually calling from Octopus - she hung up
3 calls in 3 minutes from the same number, claiming to be from British Gas. started listening but they got our company name muddled up so the third time they were told not to call back.
Pretended to be our company supplier. Total lie
Called claiming to be from British Gas, when questioned they couldn't provide any details and ended up putting the phone down on me.
Absolute scammers - do not engage and do not give them any details. Remember you have the right NOT to respond, put your natural politeness aside or they will hound you forever. If you can, block the number once you have hung up.
Phoned many times pretending to be from Octopus, hassling our staff saying there was an error on the postcode on our invoice. Had to speak to him myself to stop them calling, when I told them their number was listed online as a scam call center he realised the game was over and hung up.
THEY ARE NOT SCAMMERS THEY HELP FOR UPDATION OF YOUR ACCOUNTS THEY DONT ASK FOR ANY DETAILS SHE WAS VERY COOPERATIVE
Pretended to be Octopus - they knew my mpan number, but wanted a lot more detail which I wouldn't give. I asked them to send an email or letter, which she said she couldn't do. Said that she wouldn't be responsible for incorrect billing, I said, ok, and she hung up. Prior to this call, they had been pestering the receptionist everyday for the last few weeks. Blocked from calling.
saying from Eon, problems with the account - advised I would call Eon myself. he got very stroppy and said any incorrect bills would be our responsibility if I didn't do as asked. SCAM
Claimed they were from EDF, the business's utility provider and advised that there was a technical issue and they needed to confirm our meter readings and details. I was suspicious when they started asking about contract dates and asked if I could call him back and he said he could place me on hold. I hung up the call and googled the number and found all these negative reports.
