Seems they're fishing for info they should already have. After something, they never gave a reason for calling and kept demanding personal details even though the meter install was already set. I’d steer clear of these callers – negative vibes, mate.

Opinione dell’esperto
It looks like the caller from +443301359961 might be connected to a call centre, likely using aggressive tactics to push products or services. The user described them as “nasty bastards,” indicating frustration with their persistence or intrusive nature. These types of calls can be a real nuisance, especially if they involve pressure or unsolicited offers. For those receiving similar calls, be cautious and never share personal details over the phone. It's always a good idea to block the number or register with the TPS (Telephone Preference Service) to reduce such interruptions. Stay vigilant!

This is a confirmation for a smart‑meter installation, not spam.
Seems linked to the smart meter install, but like the others, I’ve been pinged far too often to confirm my booked slot, mate.
A text message about a smart‑meter installation, apparently from E Energy.
A text claimed to be from Virgin Money, notifying me of a Direct Debit set up on a Virgin Money account for an insurance provider.

Got a legit message about an appointment to replace our smart gas meter – no spam here, cheers.
My provider arranged a smart‑meter call, which turned out to be extremely repetitive!
From January 2025 onward, this number (and its siblings with a different final digit) has bombarded me 81 times and over a hundred texts about SSE Business smart‑meter installs. As our firm is exiting SSE, I’ve repeatedly asked them to stop and to erase us from their list. Each promise to update records turns out to be a lie – calls keep coming multiple times a day on my work mobile. I’ve blocked two numbers, only for them to switch to another. It feels like harassment. Thank goodness I’m not a domestic customer, otherwise it’d be a real stressor, mate.
A legitimate SMS from Smart Meter installations verified that my appointment date remains acceptable and can proceed smoothly.

The call rang a few times before cutting out, so I checked here and found it might be legitimate as I'm due a replacement smart meter. Yet the SMS in the appointment email ends with 941 rather than 961, so I’ll dial the correct number and let them know they're causing concern for some people!

A text confirming my smart‑meter installation appointment and providing the day's access details.
Just got an SMS about the smart meter install – confirming the appointment, all good, cheers.
Message confirming a scheduled smart‑meter installation.
An SMS was sent merely to confirm a smart‑meter installation appointment.
Message appears to be from SMS Energy representing an energy provider; the number seems legitimate.
They pretended to be from Total Energies and attempted to extract my personal details – a clear identity‑theft scam.
A person claiming to represent Octopus Energy called to discuss my forthcoming smart‑meter installation. Since I already have the appointment set, I declined to answer further questions and avoided additional conversation.
These SMSes come from smart‑meter replacement agents for various energy suppliers. To verify a number, search for "sms smart meter replacement" and check the official website, which lists the relevant providers and contact numbers. Initially I suspected a scam because they flooded me with emails and texts, but they turned out to be legitimate, so I hope this guidance helps others!
A supposed smart‑meter installer cold‑called me, then demanded identity verification. That’s typical of identity theft, yet when I didn’t initiate the call, the caller should prove their credentials instead. Moreover, the number is TPS‑registered, so unsolicited calls are prohibited.
Call centre staff were rude
