Like an unsolicited knock at the door from a pushy salesman, these calls can feel intrusive and untrustworthy. Comments suggest persistent attempts to switch energy providers, raising red flags about legitimacy. The mention of Octopus Energy and Scottish Power points to potential phishing or impersonation tactics to extract personal details. How the caller obtained the mobile number remains unclear, but data breaches or bought lists are common culprits. Advise hanging up immediately, never sharing info, and reporting to Action Fraud or your provider. Block the number and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer nuisance calls. Stay vigilant to protect your data privacy.
It feels shady, yet I wonder how they obtained my mobile number. I told the caller I wasn’t interested, hung up, and will report the number as a scam.
A person pretended to represent Octopus Energy and attempted to transfer my account to Scottish Power.
