Energy scammers

I had a phone call from an Indian sounding chap that said he was calling from a company called EnergySavers. And because I was Scottish (I am not Scotish nor live in Scotland) I asked where he was calling from and he said in South London, I hung up. Anyone who lives in the UK would know where Scotland is and would also recognise the difference with a Scottish and a Southern accent.

I think they are scamming in that they ask 2 questions which they then edit to switch your energy supplier for some commision

    Interesting, Energy Saver asked whether I was with Scottish Power (NO) and British Gas (NO) and then HUNG UP up on me. I presume if I had said yes then they would say SP and BG are increasing their prices, etc. and recommend a switch.

    Probably a new script then.
