Don't know where they got their info from. Really odd. As above claimed to be from the meter registration authority. Claimed to have been asked by my supplier but didn't know who that was

Called our work number saying they were from the 'national meter registration authority'. No such organisation exists. I told them we were not interested in switching energy supplier and ended the call. They immediately called back. Now blocked. Preying on small businesses trying to get them to switch energy supplier by conning them. Avoid.

claiming to be from utilities department trying to talk you to switching to "more cost effective" temporary utilities rates. Really pushy, rude and when said I need to consult it with someone, they hand up on me without letting me finish. AVOID!
