This number is National Grid warning of power cuts. It is sent out to customers on the priority list and has a way of calling for extra help if it should be needed. Perfectly safe and helpful.

My mother had an early morning call was very disturbing for her being 85

User reported 0800 917 7953 as Harassing

They rang twice last night around 9 pm. Both times as the phone is downstairs by the time I got to the phone they terminated the call. Obviously this seems to be some sort of scam.

This number called our landline twice early hours of the morning. Causing stress. We didn't answer as phone downstairs and we were in bed trying to sleep

Woken @03.15am by this number that called 2x within minutes. Automated message stated from National Grid, a power outage in the area may be affecting my house. No such power cut & like others middle of the night phone calls distressing in case concern re health of elderly relative…

User reported 0800 917 7953 as Dangerous

Late at night. Called mobile then landline. But then just no response from caller. Worried what they called for & why late at night. Are they on a different time zone?

User reported 0800 917 7953 as Harassing

This number called 3 times during the night & woke up elderly people saying there was a power cut. There was no power cut! Is this a scam?

User reported 0800 917 7953 as Harassing

Eight phone calls from this number starting at 2220 last night till 0900 all through the night. Enough to give someone a heart attack thinking it’s a family emergency or an injury falling down stairs trying to get to phone. Bloody ridiculous.
