Two calls today 25/06/26. Claimed to be from BG, (kind of or at first) we do not use BG, I asked him do you who we use? I said I cannot recall. They said we got a bill from our provider in June and what is the latest meter read on the bill. I was not planning to tell him anything else besides that, (I don't even know if the meter read is on our bills though), like who we use and our account number as they should already know this. The caller said our postcode was mixed up with someone else. It does seem weird, maybe this is a scam but to what end?
Claiming to be from my electric supplier and saying that my meter reading is getting mixed up with another business. So I rang my supplier, they confirmed that there was no issue whatsover with my meter or readings. This is a scam.
Claiming to be from British Gas firstly stating that our post code was wrong on their records and then asking for our British Gas account number.

I get these calls at my business intermittently. Very insistent that they have the wrong details for our BG accounts and wanting me to clarify.

Claiming to be our energy supplier, won't email me over proof of who they are.
