Said they were Scottish Power and there were meter reading problems. I said I would call back customer services and not happy, 'supervisor' came on and got bit irate, so hung up.

was told i was going to hell and i was stupid customer as i refused to give him what he wanted
Another one, yet again, calling from EDF. They do have a lot of our information which makes you think they're real. They clearly aren't. The 'supervisor' was very annoyed when I told him I'd Googled the number and the results came up as 'scam'.
They said there was an issue with my energy account and asked for meter information.
Claimed to be from EON saying it was a very important phone call and they should be put through to our accounts department
Said they were British Gas and there was a problem with our meter that we were going to be charged another companies electric as well knew quite a bit of information but wanted to know the end date of our contract I told them nothing and said I would ring British Gas which I did and there was no problem at all.
Pretended he was from Valda. Thankfully I could see on here it was a likely spam call so I told him I would call my electricity supplier directly.
just called and pretended to be british gas trying to get the company info
Called repeatedly and said they were from the meter company and there was an issue with our meter number being muddled with another. Knew a lot of information, but not all and I, in hindsight, stupidly helped them fill in the gaps. Don't tell them anything!
Claim to be from EON
Said they were from Scottish Power. I told them to email our accounts department and put the phone down.
They have called repeatedly for weeks claiming to be britsh gas. Called me illiterate on the phone and threatend to issue a warrant for my arrest due not allowing them access to our meters. Clear scammers and very rude.
Said they were from an energy company looking to speak to our account department
Pretended to be our energy supplier. Phoned yesterday and multiple times today.
Claimed to be from British Gas regarding an issue with our meter. Called our neighbouring business too. Definitely a scam - very persistent and aggressive. Even called back to pursue the scam attempt. Reported to Action Fraud
