[QUOTE="Ink, post: 894629, member: 3"] I tried looking online, but the search results only threw up How a Smart Meter works, not the telephone scam version. Received a call claiming to be an UK energy provider, and they immediately and [B]persistently[/B] kept asking for personal information such as postal code and address, and that it would only take a few minutes for security checks. Ended the call and blocked the number. Here is the Scam number: [URL]https://who-called.co.uk/Number/01914265602[/URL] It's the first one of this I've come across, so I'm curious to find out how the scam works? [/QUOTE]
