An Indian man claimed to be from Birmingham’s Go Compare, offering cheaper energy rates. He knew my full name and current supplier, yet I hadn't authorised any data sharing. When I questioned him, he stumbled and kept urging me to switch, sounding oddly convincing – a worrying scam for vulnerable relatives.

Expert Opinion
Calls from this number scream scam alert – persistent energy deal pitches with personal details like names and suppliers, but often faltering under questions. Callers pose as reps from Go Compare, yet that firm doesn't cold-call like this. Block immediately and report to Ofcom or Action Fraud to curb the hassle. Elderly folks are prime targets, so chat with family about screening unknowns. If they knew your info, check energy account privacy settings pronto – tighten those sharing options. Stay sharp; no legit outfit needs to push unsolicited savings this way.
