They claimed to represent EDF yet never requested verification details; after confirming with EDF that it wasn't them, I blocked the persistent calls.

Expertenmeinung
In the Midlands one afternoon, these persistent calls from a Nottingham-based number raise red flags for utility impersonation. Reports highlight fraudsters posing as firms like EON Next or EDF, probing for invoice details without genuine verification—energy providers confirm they avoid such unsolicited contacts. Callers often dodge security checks and ring repeatedly, prompting swift blocks. Double-check any callback numbers, as discrepancies like the 077 mobile variant suggest spoofing tactics. Stay vigilant: hang up immediately, report to Action Fraud, and enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns. Forward suspicious activity to Ofcom for broader tracking.

A call came from this number; I didn’t answer. The person on the other end claimed I’d dialled 1471 to obtain the number. I looked it up and, aside from being linked to a utilities scam, there’s no indication it’s legitimate or harmful. I considered blocking it, but the number read back (07792815846) differed, so I double‑checked the details.

The bloke started with “It’s about your call blocking…”, I replied “Now I’m blocking you”, and promptly blocked him – classic, cheers.
A fraudulent call pretended to be from E.ON Next, requesting invoice details; E.ON has confirmed they never make such calls.
