Assuming it was a scam, they claimed to send a 'meter man' to inspect our meter and wanted me to retrieve my invoice – I declined because I didn't trust them. When I asked why a Scottish Power call came from a mobile, they said it was a direct line, but I remained sceptical.

Opinia expertului
Picture this: a persistent caller rings, claiming to be from a major energy firm like British Gas or Eon, insisting on sending a meter reader to your home. These unsolicited calls often probe for personal details such as account numbers or contract end dates, which genuine providers already hold. Victims report rudeness, repeated attempts, and evasion of basic verification questions. It's a classic scam tactic to phish for data or set up access for burglary. Hang up immediately and never share info. Contact your actual supplier directly via their official number to verify any issues—don't use call-back options provided. Report to Action Fraud to help curb these nuisances. Stay vigilant; if it feels off, it probably is.

Purportedly from Eon Next, they were very insistent, couldn't answer questions correctly, didn't know my account number, and kept asking for the contract end date. When I refused to provide details, they warned I'd be placed on a watch list – very suspicious.
A pretty rude, persistent lady from EDF called, trying to arrange a meter‑man visit. Cheers.
They claimed to be from British Gas, saying they'd send someone to read the meter and needed the serial number. Then an email arrived asking for a reference number, but it was actually a password reset request. I rang three times, told them the meter reader could provide the reference when he arrives. Checked my account – all meter readings are up to date, no smart‑meter issues. Definitely a scam, mate.
They've been calling our firm for days, claiming to be Stacey Harris from Eon and saying an engineer needs to inspect our meters. They then request details that a legitimate caller would already have; when we decline, they hang up. Very persistent and rude.
After a single call, I hung up. She called back asking why I ended the conversation, claimed to be from British Gas needing to send someone to check the meter because our readings had been applied to the wrong account. I told her I'd contact British Gas directly as this mobile number appears to be a scam, and she hung up.
The person claimed to be from British Gas and said a meter reader would visit on Friday because the smart meter wasn’t transmitting data. She recited our invoice details and meter number, but couldn’t tell us the contract’s end date or whether we have gas and electricity with the same supplier. It feels like a phishing attempt targeting energy customers near contract expiry; a legitimate company would disclose this immediately and we would already be in contact.
