Legitimate contact. Con artists seldom leave callbacks with their own number. It's Utilita (or similar spelling). A mate of mine worked there years back in that area code.

Expert Opinion
Verify caller identity before engaging. Reports on this number show mixed experiences: some describe legitimate energy efficiency checks or housing inspections, while others flag it as suspicious with premium rate callbacks and dodgy energy company pretexts. Hang up if unsure and contact your provider directly. Block the number to avoid repeats, and report to Action Fraud if it feels off. For genuine services like utility inspections, expect written confirmation first. Stay cautious with personal details—scammers exploit trust. Check your call log and enable spam filters on your phone for peace of mind.

Caller contacted me claiming annual housing check for the association; knew my address and last three mobile digits. Scheduled a visit with the rep's name—matches the 2023 inspector's, so appears legit to me
The call ended before it could be answered
Our household was contacted under the guise of an Energy Efficiency visit.
These folks pose a threat, preying on victims through scams
These folks ring me, but I ignore it. Feels like they're baiting a callback. Turns out the number hits you with hefty charges. Total spam—they voicemail as Echo energy, offering to inspect my home's energy setup. If repairs needed, a local council letter with appointment follows. This Friday post-4pm call screams dodgy. They're clearly desperate for a quick buck. First vibe: proper shady.
Ignored the call completely.
