They said they was from the Meter updating service for EDF and they had a problem with our invoice as they had added another companies electricity to our bill. He asked me to confirm our meter references, which he read out to me for both our Gas and Electricity. Also wanted to know our end of contract date.
Pretending to be from an energy company about faulty billing and meter confusion. When I asked them what number they were calling from they hung up.
Claimed to be British Gas "Your current energy supplier" Scam caller, avoid and block
Claimed to be EDF Energy about an overdue invoice! Avoid!!
claimed to be from out existing provider wanting to look at overcharging, unable to provide any evidence that was the case - assumed to be fraudulant.
Wanted to check meter numbers for electric. They were delayed until another day.
