They phoned, posing as British Gas, insisting an engineer needed to inspect our meter for faulty readings – a 30‑minute job. It's a scam; they already have most of our details and may claim a recorded voice gives consent to cancel the contract. Hang up and keep hanging up if they persist.

Expert Opinion
Late evenings in Cambridge often bring unexpected calls like this one from +441223790917, posing as energy firms but turning out to be dodgy scams. These callers impersonate providers such as British Gas or Engie, claiming meter faults or billing errors to fish for personal details. Hang up straight away—never share info, even if they know bits like your MPAN. Block the number immediately and report to Action Fraud if they persist with abuse or threats. For genuine concerns, contact your actual supplier directly using verified numbers from your bill. Staying vigilant keeps these nuisances at bay without hassle.

The call turned out to be a phishing stunt; the bloke rattled off everything about gas meters and pretended to be my energy provider, then tried to yank my account number. I said I’d ring EON and he hung up – proper dodgy, mate.
I received multiple calls from a person claiming to represent Total Energy, saying there was a problem with our meter and that invoicing was on hold. He gave basic details like the MPAN before trying to extract further information, which I refused to provide. I told him I'd contact our Total account manager myself, and he then hung up.
Someone pretended to be Engie, alleging a billing mistake – right, complete nonsense.
Looks like a scam; I told the caller the person they were after won't return until Thursday, and they snapped back, “Are you f*cking stupid, I was told to call today.” I hung up, then endured four more abusive calls. We run a funeral home and have no need for this nonsense.

Harassment Call
I blocked this unexpected call.
The person who answered introduced herself as Gabby, claiming to be the local energy adviser – I suspect the previous contact, James, has moved on. Put the phone down on her, cheers, I doubt this will be her last call and she's probably rang before from a different number.

Survey
They tried to push a roof‑insulation survey on me; I said I wasn’t interested, they thanked me and hung up, mate.
Got a ring from a bloke trying to flog insulation; I mentioned I’d just renewed it, yet he kept on pushing, so I kept saying no and he finally hung up – absolute scam, mate.
Got a call back from the original insulation survey request I’d declined – scam and a right nuisance, mate.
