They knew my name and claimed to be from a comparison site trying to lower my energy bills; they were pushy and argued with every objection – definitely a scam.
Court Warrant Scam Call?

Expert Opinion
Callers from this number often pose as reps from comparison sites like Go Compare, pushing dodgy energy deals or even wild tales of arrest warrants to scare folk into paying up. One lot knew the recipient's name, another bungled the pronunciation, while some just hang up or say nothing. Spot the red flags: unsolicited calls about bills you don't have, aggressive arguments, or threats of legal trouble. Hang up straight away, never share details, and block the number. Report to Action Fraud if it feels off—better safe than sorry with these scam tactics. Keep your info locked down to dodge the hassle.

She was an overseas woman who struggled to say my name, claimed she was from Go Compare, and I told her I was incarcerated, asking if she could compare and find a better deal before she hung up.
A courteous English‑speaking bloke called my mobile, claiming to be from Go Compare and wanted to chat about Octopus Energy billing. I don’t use Octopus, so I hung up and blocked the number, mate.
The call ended as soon as I answered; I’ll wait for a return before blocking.
Earlier today the number rang me, speaking my language, but the caller pretended to be an old friend collaborating with an energy firm and offered a deal. I ended the call and blocked the number! 😅
Picked up, yet nobody spoke.
A caller posing as a court official claimed a warrant had been issued for my arrest and demanded £250,000 to cancel it – pure spam.
Supposedly they were offering cheaper energy deals.
