An Indian man keeps ringing, saying he’s from Eon; when I ask him to stop he becomes rude, yet he continues to call.
Scam Calls Posing as Power Firms
Summary — +441460517648
Expert Opinion
Under the grey skies of a typical British autumn evening, reports flood in about persistent nuisance calls masquerading as energy firm reps. These scammers pose as providers like EDF or British Gas, spinning tales of billing mix-ups or lost account details to extract personal info such as meter readings or MPAN numbers. Don't engage—they're after your data for fraud. Hang up immediately and report to Action Fraud or by texting details to 7726, as urged in one account. Verify any real supplier contact via official channels, never callbacks they suggest. Block the number to curb harassment, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer cold calls. Stay vigilant; these tactics prey on confusion.

Someone claimed to represent our electricity provider, even reciting our MPAN. They alleged our account details and meter link were "lost" and warned of possible over‑charging, then asked for our contract end date. I gave no answer and hung up.
Someone called, posing as Octopus, saying our account had an incorrect MPAN number. A very persistent Indian woman tried to pressure me into immediate action, claiming urgency, and wouldn't let me call back.
An Indian call centre claimed to be EDF, saying we were being billed for a neighbour's electricity and urging us to ignore the bill; when I asked for a supervisor to verify our gas meter, I googled this site and confirmed it was a scam.
Received a billing enquiry, the caller said they were from British Gas, yet we have no account with them.
He claimed to be from NPower and said another party's electricity had been added to our bill.
Our firm got three calls in three hours after I posted a comment; I told them we’d spoken before and aren’t with British Gas, and they hung up immediately.
