A noisy call‑centre claimed to be the National Grid and wanted to schedule an electricity‑meter swap. The operator already knew the number on the front of our current meter and then put me on hold to “register” me, probing for personal details they should already have. I told them I’d call the National Grid back and hung up. A quick check showed our area is served by UK Power Networks, not the National Grid – a dangerously convincing scam.

Ever received a call from someone claiming to fix your meter, only to leave you suspicious? These reports highlight a convincing scam impersonating electricity providers like National Grid or Western Power, armed with personal details to build trust. They push for appointments or personal info, but slip up on basics like your actual supplier. Hang up immediately if anything feels off—genuine companies won't cold-call for such details. Verify independently by contacting your real provider using details from your bill, and report to Action Fraud. Block the number and enable spam filters on your phone to stay safe. Scammers prey on confusion, so trust your instincts.
