Rang on a mobile claiming to be Drax, told them not with Drax, she hung up..... called back on a landline, asked why she called back on a different number, then she decided she was the meter reading company.... all very dodgy as both meters on WIFI. Presume the scam is you give a meter reading and the meter number and they try to take over your account by informing your current supplier that they have the info needed

Calling from a Peterborough number claiming to be from my energy supplier who is based nowhere near there. Confirmed as a scam by my energy supplier but to be honest I knew this anyway.
Indian call center sounding lady, calling from Total Gas and power apparently, wanting to recite supply numbers to us so we can corroborate from our invoices? Sounds dodgy

Calling from Eon... Asking for supply number as there is a problem with our billing. Very pushy..I hung up.. Rung Eon very helpful they have not called me.
Calling from “British Gas” claiming to be an issue with my account. They had my business email and sent me a “reset your password” link and asked me for the numbers on it. The woman on the phone argued with me for 4 minutes about how she needed me to comply and read me meter numbers from my last bill. Told her to F off!!
