"Said they were EDF. Called a few times, which was harassment. Someone said they weren't with EDF and it was a scam, she put the phone down. The man kept saying it was real. I told him I owe an IT firm and I knew it was a scam. I ended the call and blocked the number on my mobile."
"Not British gas... it's a scam. Number has been blocked now."
"Call from this number on 29th January at 14.40, it's a Bolton area code and the message was from a woman with a local accent. She didn't seem to know that she'd got the answerphone and went straight into her talk about being the energy advisor for my local area (which is not Bolton) and she thought I was the homeowner, was that right, then she ended the call."
