I was cold today . They knew how much my bill was . I knew this was not a genuine scottish power number as scottish power have all their only used numbers listed on our account info . Anyway she called me a tramp and a B*tch . I reported it today and scottish power confirmed its not their company and as it seems our data is leaked now to South Africa
Claims to be Scottish power. Claims to be located in South Africa Cold calls to see if anyone picks up and marks that number. Expects a callback, but if it continues they ask for personal information to confirm the account holder. no respectable company conducts buisness that way over phone, a clear scam with surface level personal information bought from databrokers (could be other energy companies selling data/national registry of users)
Once every few days with the name Scottish Power, though I haven't given the actual company my number so I suspect scam or fraud but I ain't picking up to find out
