Scam Alerts for Daily Nuisance Rings

A spammer pretended to be from an energy company and phoned my workplace asking for the owner. After insisting I wasn’t interested, the conversation escalated into a verbal spat, with the caller threatening to show up at my house.

Avoid picking up; a relentless bloke kept rambling about energy, demanded my name and kept shouting his love – classic shady employee, mate.

A caller offered a 35% discount on my gas and electricity compared with my current supplier. I told him I don’t have gas, so he continued with electricity only. When I asked if he knew my existing supplier – a prerequisite to quote a price – he hung up. He rang again a minute later to query my provider; I laughed and hung up.

We pointed out that their calls breached the law since our number is on the Telephone Preference Service. After we hung up, they dialled back to persist with the harassment.

These relentless calls are getting on my nerves. I have energy to spare and if I want a different vibe I’ll go out and find it myself. I’ve blocked the number for now, but I’m sure they’ll return.

I didn’t answer because the number was unfamiliar, yet I receive daily calls from the same source using various numbers.

The caller’s speech was unintelligible, so I hung up. When they called back, I chose not to answer.

Someone using the name Aseed rang, claiming to need the business owner; when I requested the firm’s name he mentioned British Gas Light, EON and another, so I supplied the head office line 0300 123 2040 and flagged it as a scam.

A bloke rang claiming to be an energy supplier; I told him I’m not into cold calls and hung up. He called back straight away, shouting about massive discounts and low rates. I reminded him I’m busy, don’t deal with cold callers and told him not to ring again, then ended the call, mate.

The number was unknown, so I let it go to voicemail, cheers.

Got two calls from this number on Good Friday – just a nuisance, cheers.
