SSE Impersonator Scam Alert!

Expert Opinion
Be wary of unsolicited calls claiming to be from energy suppliers like SSE—scammers often impersonate them to extract personal details. Reports consistently highlight a persistent caller posing as 'Matthew' from SSE, pushing false promises of bill reductions to lure you into sharing payment info or provider details. This is a classic energy scam tactic, especially since legitimate SSE stopped cold calling years ago. Hang up immediately if challenged, and never disclose sensitive information. Block the number and report to Action Fraud for investigation. Use call screening apps to filter unknowns, reducing exposure to these nuisances.

My secondary handset, which is flooded with scam calls, got this one, so I let it go unanswered.
A gentleman introduced himself as Matthew from SSE, claiming upcoming 7% reductions in gas and electricity bills and offering a follow‑up call. He inquired about my payment method and the name on the bill, then evaded my question about how he obtained my number before ending the call. A quick search revealed the number is linked to a scam despite his polished tone.
I never answer unfamiliar numbers. Since others flagged it as an energy scam, I blocked it straight away.
Missed a bothersome call.
A call purporting to be from “Matthew” at SSE should be ignored and the number blocked; SSE discontinued cold‑calling years ago, making this very likely a scam.
