Steer clear of anyone using this line; a bloke named Jason from a distant call centre tried to sell me an electric refund, even knowing my current supplier – I definitely won't hand over my bank details, definatly.
Utility Scam Alert: Fake EDF Calls? - +44 1548 600073 (01548 600073)
Résumé — +441548600073
Avis d’expert
Under the grey skies of a typical British autumn evening, reports of persistent calls from this number reveal a pattern of aggressive tactics aimed at extracting personal or business details. These unsolicited contacts often masquerade as utility representatives from firms like EDF or National Grid, pushing for meter readings, refunds, or meter changes to phish for sensitive information. Harassment is evident in the frequency—up to ten times weekly—and defensive responses when challenged. No legitimate entity operates this way; always verify through official channels. Hang up immediately, block the number, and report to Action Fraud if details are shared. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and never disclose bank info or readings over cold calls.

My workplace was phoned roughly ten times weekly, each time asking for the owner who never happened to be available. I suggested a callback, but the caller grew angry, shouted about the frequency, and became defensive when I offered to note his number for a later call. Eventually I looked up the number and discovered it was listed as a harassment/scam line.
Appears to be a charitable call.
Received roughly ten weekly calls purporting to be EDF’s head office, requesting the individual listed on Companies House.
They attempted to coax me into providing my meter readings.
He claimed to represent the National Grid and wanted to replace my meter, yet he couldn't answer simple queries and obviously sourced my business number from my website.
It turned out to be an answering machine with no message left, just call centre background noise. Similar calls came from nine other numbers such as 01522246299, 01522444672, 01524411178, 01526342184, 01526347489, 01535658414, 01543427563, 01551702047 and 01562742275.
