Energy UK

I've been cold called 4 times very recently by someone from Energy UK asking me if I'd received the £500 voucher they'd sent me. It sounded like the same person each time.
I usually tell these cold callers to go away, but yesterday I asked the guy about Energy Uk, and he said it was a comparison site like Go Compare.
Does anyone know anything about them?

Cold call smells like a scam / just a cold call .

Anybody who says they have sent you £500 has to be a scammer surely. Bet they are not from legit Energy UK!

Thanks for your responses. I've just gone onto Energy UK's website, where they say they never cold call and are aware that cold calls are being made in their name.
