this was genuinely Eon next and not a scam. I had sent an email to get them to fit a smart meter. They phoned me on from this nubmer to arrange the date and time for the fitting, the could clearly see my details and my previous corresponsdance with eon and sorted it all out for me. I am sure they sometimes call about direct debits etc whch are unwanted calls but the number is genuine.
They are calling me daily. It is a recorded message when you answer saying they are 'Eon Next'(???) and I have to press 1 to speak to them. I am not pressing 1. XXX
Glad read these statements,,Thanks everyone for heads up ,,,never answered, And wont be .
This is eon phone number 0808 501 5200 very similar but definitely a scam as its same person who keeps ringing me a lady with a thick south African accent and also had the cheek to leave a voicemail too.
Have rung a number if times and I haven't answered as don't recognize number. They don't leave message so obviously not important. Blocked!
This is not eon, this is a scam
Received another call from this number today - this time they left a message. Very strong accent and ringing from a call centre so it was difficult to make out. Caller stated they were calling from somewhere which sounded like Yonny (EON something) regarding our energy account. Caller did not specify which type of energy. Caller gave this number to ‘ring back as soon as you receive this message’. Ignored and deleted.
The caller claimed to be from EonNext. The background noise indicated it was a call centre. The lady caller had a South African accent and confirmed she was in South Africa. She asked me for security details and I refused to give any. She said she could not proceed with the call. I explained that I did not give personal details to unknown callers.
Bloody annoying..... When will there be a system to search these people out and take them 1) off air for good 2) take them for every penny they have?
This is E.ON Next bloody scammers. They have been spamming my mailbox for over a month now and even blocking them doesn't help. They are so annoying. (London)
Scammer(?) claiming to be Eon. Would not relate our account number for verification purposes He was told to go forth and multiply!
Called me several times! It's EON wanting to increase DD payments ( I believe). Just a quick note DD payments are one of the most exspensive ways to pay as the tarriff they put you on apparently costs upto £1500 a year more. This was on BBC News last week did not see the whole interview but it was from a money Guru. DD also EON took £1295 out of my account, dont like the fact that companies can do that so cancelled them and got my cashback via the bank, unauthorized payments. Don't need to be watching my finances every day!!
Didn't answer but it rang for bloody ages.
Received 2 calls from them. I think it’s a scam as they said it’s from eon but on the eon website it doesn’t really say anything about this number. A bit unsure in wether it’s eon or not. They called twice and at first, I didn’t pick up then the second time I picked up and said Hello and this man spoke very fast and said he’s from eon and wanted to speak to me about my bills or something. Very dodgy as I have paid?!
Said from Eon but no way must be a scam
