Received two attempts; the callers claimed to be from Eon, reciting an account reference and our postcode. After I mentioned we ignore energy‑related calls because of rampant scams, they disconnected.
Energy Scam Alert: Fake Supplier Calls!
Summary — +441213680707
Expert Opinion
Reports indicate callers frequently impersonate energy suppliers such as Eon, British Gas, or SSE to discuss price increases or contract updates. They often know basic details like postcodes or meter numbers but falter under scrutiny, hanging up when challenged. This pattern screams energy scam, preying on business owners or households worried about bills. Never share personal info or agree to changes over unsolicited calls—legitimate firms won't pressure you like this. Block the number, report to your actual supplier and Action Fraud, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such nuisances. Stay vigilant; these pests multiply if ignored.

This turned out to be a scam after I’d just signed a fixed contract with Eon for my business; a caller pretended to be from EON, claimed they were doubling my standing charge and kilowatt price, asked for my broker’s name, and I told them to go away – if they were genuine they’d have known the details. Bloody pain in the arse.
