Claimed to be from Ecotricity wanting meter readings, although asked if I was someone who hasn't lived here for 5 years..... threatened me with sending a meter reader out when I said I was too busy, as though I'd be worried by a meter reader!

A chap called Gary called claiming to be speaking on behalf of Ecotricity, but he was only interested in getting information that he had no right to know, and his requests made no sense. He terminated the call when I told him so.
