It's a legitimate number calling from Octopus Energy. They confirmed their actions via email as well.

Missed call showing from Octopus, but phone didn't ring. Just a voicemail. I am with them, but pre-arranged callendered calls don't happen, & erroneous take over was processed without checks when phone had been hacked (& I have criminal neighbours - 1 of whom was the erroneous takeover culprit). So, due to the issues, I've marked this as dangerous.

It IS 0ctopus, although that doesn't necessarily negate previous comments!

A young female voice left a message on my answerphone saying ‘Hi mum’ and something about it doesn’t cost much and exchanging a meeting. Message was slightly garbled, did not make sense.

This is NOT Octopus but likely to be one of the people who are deliberately trying to gain control of your landline, computer and mobile phone. Do not give any information at all.

Number may be used by scammers so be aware, but had a genuine call from Octopus for an install I had chased up

User reported 0203 095 8286 as Dangerous

the caller was a young foreign girl who could no speak or understand English trying to make an appointment for the installation of a smart meter for Octopus. I told her NO but I received an email from hello@octoes.com confirming an appointment - I have emailed Octopus 4 times but no reply- was it a scam call?
