Expert Opinion
Like a relentless door‑to‑door salesman, these calls keep popping up at your doorstep, insisting on a smart‑meter appointment you never asked for. The pattern across reports points to a utility‑focused telemarketing operation, often masquerading as a legitimate fitter on behalf of Outfox the Market. If you receive such a call, verify the request directly with your energy supplier before sharing any details. Block the number on your handset and report persistent harassment to your regulator. Consider registering with the national do‑not‑call list and using call‑screening apps to filter out future nuisance calls. Staying sceptical and confirming through official channels is the safest route.

Harassment Call
The callers are absolute nuisances; they'll keep pestering you until you install a SMART meter. Blocking one just leads to another number.

Harassment Call
I have no idea why these thugs are contacting me; I don’t have a smart meter and don’t want one. If my electricity provider had arranged this, they'd have emailed me and introduced an agent. Avoid at all costs – block and do not return the call.

Harassment Call
The person disconnected as soon as I answered; I have reported the abandoned call to Ofcom.
Called by smart‑meter fitters from SMS plc acting for various utilities to arrange appointments for replacing old meters.
Multiple calls from this number on behalf of Outfox the Market wanted to install a smart meter. They left a message asking me to call back – I have no interest and never requested one.
Previously this line warned me not to call again; the caller claimed to be from SMS on behalf of Outfox the Market. I hung up.
It isn’t a fraudulent call, just a bothersome one – a firm trying to fit a smart meter for Outfox the Market. I have no interest in a smart meter, and my current meter placement makes it impossible anyway. Since moving to OFTM they’ve been dialing me at least twice weekly for months. I simply don’t pick up, but the constant ringing is irritating!
Got an SMS about arranging a smart‑meter appointment supposedly from ‘outfox the market’. I never asked for a smart meter and will never. Number blocked.

Harassment Call
I received a call today from someone claiming to arrange a smart‑meter fitting for Outfox the Market. Though I repeatedly told them I don’t want a smart meter, they kept pressing and touting the benefits, insisting I’d get the latest model and could still read my meters monthly. I’m now blocking them and hope they don’t ring again.
Was told the caller used 'outfox', which appeared as a scam.

A persistent cold‑caller – best to steer clear!
The gentleman called, saying he worked for SMS on behalf of Outfox the Market and that the call was being recorded. He requested to speak with a specific person. I was skeptical, told him the person wasn’t there, and mentioned that I rarely answer on that line because of hearing issues. He said an email had been sent but not replied to, and wanted to discuss “upgrading” the meter. I said I knew nothing about any such matter. When I asked which Outfox contact he needed, he replied he was with SMS and not to speak to Outfox. I told him he shouldn’t have received my number due to data protection and ended the call.
Beware of the SMS meter rip‑off – don't fall for it!

Harassment Call
Even after blocking this number, calls still get through and no voicemail is ever left.
A text on behalf of Outfox the Market tried to schedule a smart‑meter installation – I’ve already told OFM not to call. They called daily except Sundays, so I blocked the landline and then the mobile. Hopefully that’s the end of it.
Calls almost every day connect to silence or background noise, as if a dodgy call centre is waiting to route someone who answers – it’s extremely irritating. I wish there were a way to block this number.
