⚠️ UNWANTED CALL CLAIMING TO BE SKY SERVICE BUT NO PROPER VERIFICATION PROVIDED AND SOUNDING LIKE A SCAM ATTEMPT.

Claimed to be from British Gas Lite (and insisted they are our energy supplier even though they aren't), saying there was a mix up with recent meter readings and fishing for information, very pushy and only way was to just hang up the phone. Within an hour received an email from our actual supplier regarding a recent call to them, when I rang them and questioned this it appears that the same people had called them, pretending to be one of our directors and asking for information about our account. Our supplier has now escalated this to their fraud investigation team.

Claims to be from the meter department of an energy provider, but the intent is clearly to gather personal details fraudulently.
