Expert Opinion
These calls from the number exhibit classic hallmarks of a scam operation, impersonating reputable energy firms to extract personal details. One caller posed as British Gas seeking meter access and supply numbers, while another falsely claimed affiliation with EDF, both red flags for phishing attempts. The initial wrong-name greeting and health query suggests probing for vulnerabilities. Hang up immediately on unsolicited energy-related inquiries; never share account info or allow visits. Report to Action Fraud and block the number to safeguard your details—better safe than sorry with dodgy callers.
