Is this a scam? They have no conceivable need for a card number, as I
pay by direct debit, and isn't a utility bill a common means of
identification?

halving bills with a plugin box is impossible. If it were doable we'd
all have one.

A clear scam.

illegal but who knows?

EDF, however, are unlikely to be pushing this.
