They rang, claiming to be EE and saying I'm eligible for a mobile contract upgrade, but I have no EE contract – pure scam.
Persistent Utility Nuisance Ringing
Summary — +442080449624
Expert Opinion
Multiple reports highlight persistent unsolicited calls from this number, often impersonating major UK providers like EE, British Gas, Scottish Power, and SSE to push utility or contract discussions. Callers adopt different personas, such as 'Steven' or 'Steve', and resort to harassment when details are withheld, including threats of repeated contact. This pattern strongly suggests scam tactics aimed at extracting personal information. Treat such calls with suspicion; never disclose provider details or personal data. Block the number immediately and register with the Telephone Preference Service to curb nuisances. If harassment persists, log details and report to Action Fraud for investigation.

An aggressive caller tried to discuss an EE contract even though I’m not a customer; when I refused to share my provider, he threatened to keep ringing.
Got a call, then a voicemail that played only music – looks like a scam.
Despite being called 5 Star Utilities, they never reveal that name when calling – they claim to be an energy provider instead. We emailed them to request removal from their list, yet the calls keep coming 😡
Again it was Steve, this time claiming to be from SSE!
Another bloke called “Steven”, this time saying he worked for British Gas (previously he claimed Scottish Power). He was slightly more polite when I told him we weren’t interested in any utility contract calls.
He claimed to represent Scottish Power to talk about renewing our electricity deal; after I told him the intended contact was unavailable and not taking calls, he responded curtly and hung up.
