Picture this: your phone rings relentlessly from an unknown number, promising a free smart meter upgrade, but something feels off. Reports flood in about calls from this Glasgow-based line, mostly linked to Scottish Power pushing smart meter installations. While a handful swear it's legitimate, the overwhelming majority describe aggressive tactics—daily harassment, foreign accents despite the Scottish caller ID, and dodgy requests for personal details like addresses or security questions. This screams potential scam, where fraudsters impersonate the energy giant to phish for info. To stay safe, never share details over unsolicited calls; hang up and contact Scottish Power directly via their official website or number on your bill. Block the line, register with the Telephone Preference Service, and report to Action Fraud if it persists. Better to verify than regret.
My phone rang at 11:55 am today, displaying as Suspected Spam, so I blocked and reported the number, unsure of its origin but certain it's spam
Scottish Power has been harrasing me for years about a smart meter, they call my mobile and then my house phone, its very anoying
Kept getting calls about smart meters, very annoying.
Apparently, this is a legitimate call from Scottish Power regarding smart meter installation, which is part of the energy meter switch; it's a necessary process, so people should be prepared
The number 0141 3103245 called me three times today. I answered the third time and spoke to an Indian gentleman who claimed to represent Scottish Power. He mentioned my old meter and offered to arrange a smart meter, but I politely declined and ended the call. That number is now blocked.
Pretended to represent a smart meter firm but failed to provide verification. I questioned why they needed my information when they should already have it.
Legitimate call from Scottish Power. They've been calling repeatedly about replacing my meter. I've declined, but they continue to contact me through calls, messages, and emails. Their persistence is frustrating.
The phone rings repeatedly, only to be met with silence
I keep getting calls from this number, Scottish Power want to fit a smart meter, i rang them yesterday and told them i dont want it, and to stop calling, but they just rang again, thats alot of hassle!
I've been gettin calls from this number all week, on both my mobile and home phone, but i've been ignorin them, finaly answered it yesterday, and they claimed to be from Scottish Power, i told them to stop callin me, but they called again today, and asked for my address, i said no
I'm reciving 3-4 calls a day on my landline, very anoying, I dont answeer but they keep calling, I've told them I dont want a smart meter, they say my meter is old and needs replacing, but I've checked and its not obsolete.
Confirmation of a meter replacement appointment was made by Scottish Power
I get many calls from this number every day, when I answer its a very foriegn sounding voice, I dont trust it to be legit, so I hung up and am ignoring the calls
The caller rang my mobile, then promptly hung up, and subsequently called my landline, only to hang up again, thankfully I've now blocked the number after checking 'who called me'.
Throughout the day, I've been recieving repeated calls from this number, which I've chosen to ignore, yet they persist in ringing.
A legitimate caller would likely leave a message. Clearly, this is a scammer of the lowest kind.
Since last week, I've been recieving numerous calls from this number, and I only answered the first one, which was a person with a Scottish accent asking for me by name, but I hung up straight away and havent answered since, I think it's the old smart meter pressure call again.
Both my mobile and landline indicated a suspected scam call, which I did not answer due to missing the initial call.
The call from Scottish Power about smart meters seemed genuin, but I'm not intrested in getting one.
Called regarding a survey, but it turned into a sales pitch. Wasted my time.
Mystery call, hung up when I answered. Avoid.
persistent ringing
