Scam - pretending to be from Octopus Energy, claiming that my smart meter is not working, out of warranty and they need to send engineer to investigate, etc. Presumably, they would have asked for money or something, but I cut them off. They were using incorrect personal details (likely listed from Company House listing) and called on the wrong phone number (not associated with Octopus account). The caller was speaking good educated British English. Called Octopus Energy - they confirmed they did not contact me.
