The caller sounded suspicious right away, a man with an accent talking about my meter. I told him to stop bothering me.

Expert Opinion
Like a fox in sheep's clothing, this caller masquerades as a trusted energy firm to pilfer personal details. Comments reveal a pattern of fake utility reps pushing meter issues or engineer visits, often with foreign accents, to extract account numbers or prompt callbacks. It's a classic scam ploy—don't engage, especially if they dodge verification. Hang up immediately and report to Action Fraud or your phone provider. Block the number to curb repeats, and never share info without confirming via official channels. Keep an eye on your statements for odd activity too. Stay sharp; these nuisances thrive on confusion.

Recent Reports for 01209 859875
A caller claiming to be from British Gas said there was an issue with my meter reading, asked for my latest bill, then transferred me to an Indian woman who requested my account number. I told her she'd know if she were truly British Gas, she admitted they weren’t, and I hung up after calling the number a scam.
Someone named Danny said he was with British Gas, but he seemed clueless.
Someone asserting they worked for EON became rude when I gave directions; ending the call felt satisfying.
An Indian woman said they'd send an engineer to replace my meter because of a high reading, but when I mentioned contacting my supplier she insisted it was the meter reading department, so I hung up as it seemed a scam.
He claimed to represent EDF Energy, yet the number isn’t associated with EDF, so it appears to be spam.
