Calling business line repeatedly over the last few days saying they were from EDF and they needed our meter readings as there's a problem with them. Very insistent that they had to have them straight away and anyone can take them. Told them repeatedly that we knew this was a scam call and they just kept going and calling!

It was an automated weird robotic voice and said ‘press 9 to stop receiving calls from us.’ So I pressed 9 and it said in an automated voice great we will call you back… like what? Scammers block it
Has phoned us several times. When answered, no one talks back. Guess it's a long distance call from a telesales person routed through a local number.
Asian women claiming to be from Three offering a new SIM with better service! I let her ramble on then I said you are wasting your time as I am not with Three YOU SCAMMER!! They also rang from 248228
