Called five times in succession claiming to be EON. I tould the gentleman (who seemed to from eastern parts) to Foxtrot Oscar all five times but he persisted. I get these calls around half a dozen times a day. Not good when your mental health is a bit fragile.

Heavily accented man called on a very poor quality line pretending to be from our energy provider. We've had similar scam calls in the past which I suspect is from the same group just with a new number. Same request as always for meter numbers and account details. Obviously our real provider will have these and would be able to name the account holder when asked, but even then watch out, as they will trawl companies house for names and call back trying their luck. I told him a bunch of nonsense about being with a new supplier and he pretended the call was actual following up on that to make sure our last invoice is correct. Didn't like it when I said I was feeding him bull**** back.

Caller claimed to be from our Scottish Power, speaking from an Indian call centre stating that he needed to confirm what our meter reading and post code are as apparently there is a typo on their end and demanded I get a bill to cross check details. I said I couldn't do that right now and that if there were any issues the person who normally deals with the bills will call them back if necessary. He states *insert company directors name* will be very mad with me if i don't resolve this now! Very insistent and almost aggressive, won't accept no for an answer. I repeatedly tell him I don't deal with bills directly and can't go searching for bill and the person who does is unavailable, won't take no so had to hang up in the end.

Claiming to be from British Gas, trying to get our British Gas password to enter the account. Total scam

Caller claimed to be from our energy provider EDF Energy UK, speaking from an Indian call centre stating that he needed to confirm what our meter point number was so that they could send out correct invoices as it appears we were being overcharged. Then asks for owner of account and account number (which I will not give out) he then turns aggressive demanding info.

Caller claimed to be from our energy provider Octopus, spoke in very broken English stating that he needed to confirm what our meter point number was so that they could send out correct invoices as it appears we were being overcharged. I asked for him to email me his request but he said that this was not possible and the information needed to be given over the phone. Told him that was not happening and put the phone down.

This engagement bore all the hallmarks of a coordinated phishing exploit. A barely articulate operator, speaking over distinct call-centre interference, attempted to extract our personal credentials under the pretext of an official Scottish Power inquiry. To ascertain authenticity, I requested formal documentation via email or a secure transmission through our verified customer account portal. The operative's absolute refusal to utilize these standard verification channels conclusively demonstrated their fraudulent intent.

Pretend to be from our energy provider, and state that their is a mix up. It is just for them to get hold of you meter number and with that they have all the relevant info to your gas/elect bills. Once they have got that, then they will spam you! do not provide any info
