Posed as Peter (highly doubtful) from BG Lite, our supplier, mentioning fresh rates for gas and power, even though BG Lite won't quote anything sooner than 60 days prior to renewal (ours is 10 months away).
Scam call masquerading as Octopus Energy – what to do!
Summary — +441685256496
Expert Opinion
These calls look like classic energy‑price scams. The caller pretends to be from well‑known suppliers such as Octopus Energy or a fictitious BG Lite, then pressures you with ‘new rates’ that don’t line up with your contract. They often use rude tones or even play music to annoy you into hanging up. If you receive a call like this, never share personal details and hang up immediately. Block the number on your phone and report it to the national spam‑watch service. Keep an eye on any legitimate correspondence from your actual utility provider to verify any price changes.
