Smart meter calls

"This company claimed they were from a metering company stating my smart metre is broken which it isn't. I struggled to understand the gentleman that called as he was talking too fast and over me. I had to ask what company he was call from numerous times and again I couldn't make out where he was calling from. He then said they were a third party company representing the gas and electric suppliers. He kept talking I told him I was ending the call. I know that my meter is not faulty as I only spoke to my supplier the day before who said it was supplying the correct readings."

Finally answered call & was told I need my smart meter updating & they'd like to visit my house. I said I don't have a smart meter, please remove my number from their call list. They ignored my requests & call me twice a day."

"Same thing happened here. The number was flagged as possible spam so I didn't pick up. I went on here to find out what it was. I'm an Eon Next customer. They're probably trying to get me to have a new smart meter fitted. They have been bothering me with texts and emails about it."

"Called and said they were EDF, pushing me to get a smart meter. The number didn't look like an official EDF one. Think it's a scam."

"Said they were from British Gas about meter registration for business."

"When I answered, they said I needed a Gas Meter replacing. It seemed dodgy as I would think my utility provider would email me formally if it was real. They called again another day, I didn't answer - and they didn't leave a voicemail, which confirmed my suspicions."

"Said he was calling from utilita wanting to change my meter. Really loud call centre. Because I'm a utilita customer, they should have all my details, but they didn't, so I hung up without saying anything."

"I have been getting phone calls from this number for a week or so. Blocked them and then got the voicemails. Then yesterday I got a phone call off different number but same thing (we are calling from Utilita your meter needs up dating etc) 02382011259. So I did the normal no thank you not interested. Then decided to phone Utilita myself to report them. After talking to Utilita it seems that I did need my meter changed as its over 10 years old and I have now booked an appointment. They did phone again this morning same thing. HI is this *name* and you are with Utilita, but then he stopped and said aw I see you already have your appointment booked. Thank you for your time and good bye. Now I am not saying all these numbers are real and not scams but if your not sure. Just phone your energy company and check it"

"not British Gas but acting like they are and saying we can get a smart metre! somehow they knew our name! how unless British Gas gave these scammers our details! really scary!"
