Unsolicited call. No message left.
It's Scottish Power, they were calling about a Smart Meter appointment I'd arranged previously. It was definitely them, they knew all the appointment details.
Had this number ring us this morning 1030am , suposed from Scotiosh power , on about meters , nothing to do with company only after information about smart meters and when they are coming to fit hem , Put the phone down , we get one a wweek on about smart meters SCAMMERS
I got a call in which one asked when it is possible to come to check my meters. Proposed was 5 May 4 hours starting before the noon or 4 hour latter. When I asked can they call to me by phone when they are at the house front door the anwer was yes and one promised to put this up in the computer. Then I was asked my postcode and address. Sorry, I broke the call so as it is very dubtful if one wants come to my place and calls me having my name and phone number but don't have my adress and postcode. I have given my meters data to Scottish power on the 1 April and they have also my adress and postcode. I am afried it maybe just a scam.
