Wangiri calls are typically missed calls from an overseas number, with the caller hanging up after one ring or less, before the receiver can answer. The intention of the scammer is to entice you to call back the number upon seeing a missed call. If you were to call back the number, once connected you could be charged…

Energia call you from this number after you move to a new electricity provider.

I answered the call but I got no response. I wonder what the purpose of making this kind of call is?

It's Energia (I rang the number back and got a recorded answer saying that a member of the Energia team was trying to contact me). Same as others, when you answer the call, you get silence. Someone on the retentions team is building up a quota of calls I would say. I signed up for a switch to another provider on Monday, so presumably they are trying to "make me an offer"! Going about it the wrong way, though!

Energia trying to lure me back with rubbish offer I asked for it to be emailed to me and they weren't happy, never heard from again.

Energia. Left them a few days ago. Rang few times. No message, just hung up. Very annoying

Same story moved from Energia a few days ago I've received 6 calls from this number this morning, barely gives you time to answer and when you do, no response or message. Seems to be an automated nuisance call from Energia

Enegria number, they call you after switching to different provider hoping to stay with them.
