Claims to be from our energy supplier needing to check our meter information as it has be incorrectly entered on their system (wrong postcode). Ask for lots of information from our last bill (I.e have we received it on an email). Calling every 30 min. Spoke to our energy supplier - they said its a scam they change you to another company and extract your banking details. HANG UP!!!!
