01132989000

Got a ring from this number and a few others close to it, pretending to be British Gas. They said something about changes in how I top up and wanted to confirm my supply was alright. I rang British Gas myself using the number from their official site, and they told me those numbers aren't theirs at all. They advised me to block them, so I'd probably do that too if I were you.

I've received numerous calls from this number and its close variations. Not recognising the number, I choose not to engage, opting instead to look it up online. I've already flagged this to British Gas, but annoyingly, they seem to have alternative numbers that they use to keep bothering me. My best advice? Just ignore and block them; hopefully, they’ll tire of trying eventually. It's frustrating, though-surely there should be some action taken against these relentless spam calls! I'd really like to know who's dishing out our personal details to these nuisances!

I've been plagued with numerous calls from this number, none of which I've picked up. Cheers to everyone for sharing your insights! I’d appreciate any tips to ward off these pesky calls. My mobile is on the TPS list, yet those annoying calls still find their way through. And whenever I've mistakenly answered one of those calls, it’s like they’ve never heard of TPS! It’s utterly infuriating! 😩

Beware, folks, this is an utter con! I've had a barrage of calls from 0113 298 9000 on my mobile, purporting to be from British Gas, claiming I owed them money. Given that I just received a refund for my gas account, I found their claims rather dubious. When I attempted to ring the number back, I was met with a pre-recorded message saying the number was invalid. I then decided to contact British Gas directly via the 0800 number on my statement. The lovely advisor there confirmed that my account is totally up to date, with a zero balance, and also checked my previous address - nothing outstanding there either. Moreover, the British Gas agent kindly searched their internal directory for the mysterious number, and guess what? It doesn’t exist! I can't help but think this scam might be hinging on some redirected post that’s been intercepted from an old address. My Royal Mail redirection service recently finished, and I haven't received any final statement from British Gas, which raises more red flags. If you're receiving similar calls, be cautious! The scammers might have your personal details like your name, address, and perhaps even your Customer Reference Number, which makes them sound reliable. A good trick to catch them out is to ask them for your gas meter number - they likely won’t have a clue, and you can verify it against the sticker on your meter. I hope this info assists you in safeguarding your hard-earned cash for a bit longer! Cheers, S.

It seems I've had a rather dodgy phone call claiming to be from British Gas regarding an outstanding payment. They insisted that my recent payment had failed and that I owed them money. It was quite intimidating, with them trying to pressure me with threats about bailiffs and the like. I highly recommend not divulging any personal details to these chaps. British Gas is already in the loop about this scam and the number in question. Stay safe and vigilant!

They called but didn't say anything or leave a message.

Just had a rather puzzling call just before 1 o'clock regarding a British Gas account that I oversee as treasurer. The caller appeared to be familiar with the location of the property, yet they didn’t seem to know my name at all. I mentioned that I had already had a chat with British Gas earlier this morning, which seemed to catch him off guard, and then abruptly, the call came to an end. Quite odd, really!

I keep getting relentless calls from some outfit purporting to be British Gas, but here's the thing - we don't even use their services! We rely entirely on electric power. It's utterly infuriating!

Received a call yesterday unexpectedly. Thankfully, I chose not to pick it up, and now I've decided I won’t answer it at all after reading the reviews on this site and others.

Got a missed call from a number I didn’t recognise, no idea who it could be.

I received a call that only rang once, and when I answered, it was silent on the other end. After the call, I used 1471, which revealed this number. A quick search online revealed quite the backstory. By the way, I'm a British Gas customer, but only for my service.

I've received a couple of calls from this number. The initial time I picked up, they claimed to be from British Gas regarding a boiler repair. I informed them I wasn’t interested in making any purchases, yet I was open to receiving some information by post for me to consider at my convenience. However, that information never materialised. Today, I noticed I had yet another missed call from the same number. I'm relieved I stumbled upon this discussion.

I’ve been getting calls from this bothersome number that just hangs up as soon as I pick up. It’s quite irritating!

This number has been ringing me incessantly each day. I've finally decided to block it.

Earlier today, I received a phone call from an individual purporting to be with British Gas, looking to set up a boiler service appointment. I mentioned that it wasn't time for a service yet, which caused me to raise an eyebrow. They even had my name, which added to my unease. After doing a quick search online for the number, I discovered numerous reports from others who’ve encountered this very same scam. I've gone ahead and notified British Gas, and they’ve taken the necessary steps to document the fraudulent activity.

Honestly, I just want them to bugger off!

I recently received a call from this number purporting to be from British Gas. The caller requested my name, even though my wife manages all our bills. When she challenged him about this, he promptly hung up. We've since confirmed with British Gas that they have no record of such a call. It appears we narrowly escaped a scam, as many others have fallen victim to these unscrupulous fraudsters. We've reported the incident to the police, as every additional report seems to press them to take a firmer stance against these antics.

I didn’t catch this call as I didn’t recognise the number, so I decided to investigate it. Since I’m a customer of British Gas, it’s probably a good thing I let it go to voicemail!

It's high time that all these mobile and internet providers joined forces to put an end to these pesky unsolicited calls once and for all!

I received a call from 0113 298 9000, and it turned out to be a fraudulent attempt posing as British Gas. Definitely advise blocking this number! - caller: scam artist pretending to be British Gas.

I've got this number labelled in my contacts as 'avoid at all costs'... It’s always the same scenario, they tend to ring me and hang up after a few rings. Initially, I tried having a word with them, but now I just ignore the calls entirely! I really wish someone would look into this number! People like that can be quite alarming!

I've received half a dozen calls from this number in recent days on my mobile. Each time, they claim to represent British Gas. The truth is, I'm not even a customer of theirs, and I've already asked them to cease contacting me. Whatever you do, don’t divulge any personal information or hand over any cash - they're nothing but fraudsters. One can’t help but wonder why British Gas, with their ample resources, isn’t tackling this persistent nuisance more vigorously!

I just received a rather dubious call from this number, claiming to be from British Gas, supposedly to sort out a boiler service. Given that I have service contracts for two different properties, I naturally inquired which one he was referring to. To my surprise, he mentioned my postcode! However, when pressed for the specific address, he stumbled, stating it was “an automated call” and that he could only ask me questions because of data protection regulations. What a load of nonsense! I told him I didn’t believe he needed to interrogate me about anything, considering he was the one calling. He suggested I could either wait for a letter from British Gas to confirm the legitimacy of his call or ring him back. I opted to wait for the letter, as I harboured serious doubts about his authenticity. He seemed unfazed and ended the conversation quickly! Definitely seemed like someone trying to fish for personal details… and I rather doubt he was British!

This number really ought to be looked into by the authorities. There's a chance that an elderly individual might be responding and divulging sensitive information. I strongly encourage anyone who has encountered this to report it.

I recently received a call from this number, and the caller stated they were from British Gas. They kept referring to me as Mrs. Debbie, which is indeed my name, but she never mentioned my last name. Curious, I requested her name and extension so that I could return the call at a more convenient moment. However, just as I asked, the line went dead-she ended the call abruptly.

This number keeps ringing but never bothers to leave a voicemail. Honestly, I have no debts with anyone so it's just really annoying. Can't figure out who they are.

I received a call from someone claiming I had an outstanding balance on my British Gas account. They offered to arrange a payment plan and requested my bank details. When I declined to share that information over the phone and stated I would prefer to handle it through my online account, the caller became rather irate. He accused me of wasting his time and insisted I needed to learn to trust others. I responded that it was wiser to exercise caution. Then, he abruptly hung up on me.

Called by someone from the debt recovery team.

I receive calls from this number every single day, yet I never pick up. Curiously, the timing seems to align perfectly with West Croft Debt Collections and various other associated names. I find it hard to dismiss this as mere coincidence; it feels like there's a more significant connection at play here.

Received a call from this number earlier today. A bloke claimed to be from British Gas. When I informed him that British Gas had no link to his number, he suddenly went quiet. I then cheekily mentioned I was looking into a murder case and inquired how he had the number of the unfortunate victim. He promptly disconnected. It’s a classic move, isn’t it? Haha!

I received a call from this number, claiming to be associated with British Gas’s debt collection department. However, when I reached out to British Gas directly, they had no knowledge of it at all. I've decided to add this number to my blocked list to avoid any more hassle.

This morning I received a call from a number I didn’t recognise, so I decided to ignore it. Just the other day, I had another call from a Bolton area code, and when I returned the call to find out who it was, it turned out to be British Gas. I ended that conversation quite quickly. I’ve been with British Gas for far too long now, but I'm starting to think it's high time to look for a new supplier!

Today, I received an unexpected phone call from this number purporting to be from British Gas, claiming they wanted to arrange my yearly boiler maintenance. They offered me a time slot today between 12 and 6, but by then, it was already past 1 o’clock. When I politely declined, the caller abruptly ended the conversation! It all felt rather suspicious, so naturally, I contacted British Gas to verify. As I’d suspected, it wasn't them at all! In fact, I’m not due for a service, they had no availability for today, and apparently, they hadn’t even attempted to reach me! What could possibly be their motive? Why did the caller hang up so quickly when I said it wasn’t convenient? I can’t help but wonder if they got all the details they were after. How on earth did they acquire my phone number? And how did they know I have British Gas boiler cover? It's unsettling to think they might have breached British Gas's records! I’m feeling quite anxious about this whole situation! 😟

I am absolutely fed up with this number incessantly ringing me. It's nearly a daily occurrence at this point! I've even marked it as spam on my phone, yet I'm still bombarded with notifications saying they've attempted to call. Clearly, action is required. I contacted British Gas directly, and they assured me that this number is not linked to them, but despite that, there's been no resolution!

I've been receiving unwanted calls on my mobile from this number, and it's becoming quite bothersome!

I've recently moved into my own home and registered with British Gas roughly two months back, when I noticed a missed call from the number 01132989000. I'm rather perturbed-if this is a case of British Gas improperly sharing my information with outside parties, then I’m absolutely fuming. It breaches the data protection regulations, and I certainly haven't consented to my details being shared. Can anyone advise which authorities I should contact to file a complaint?

A chap called me earlier looking for a member of my family. I informed him that he had the wrong number, but didn't disclose anything else. He promptly hung up. I couldn't find any details about him on the British Gas website. Sounds a bit dodgy, doesn’t it?

It's baffling that all the mobile networks aren’t in the loop about this number and taking action to block it. Surely, someone’s got to be footing the bill for that account, so why isn't there a thorough investigation across all the major carriers? This situation is simply unacceptable and ought to be addressed.

I’ve just received a call at 7 PM regarding a gas bill, and the person on the other end had a foreign accent. When I inquired about their extension number, they promptly hung up. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

After returning home from a long day at work, I found that my answering machine had recorded five missed calls. Oddly enough, none of the callers had the decency to leave a message, yet the machine diligently noted all the numbers that rang through. Around half past seven, I picked up the phone to a peculiar call. A voice with a strong accent, claiming to be from British Gas, asked for me by name and mentioned they were inquiring about an unpaid gas bill. They requested some personal information, but I firmly declined to provide any. I pointed out that if they were legitimate, they ought to introduce themselves and specify their department. In light of all this, I can’t stress enough how suspicious this caller seemed. It had all the hallmarks of a scam - I mean, we don’t even have a gas supply connected to our home, and I’ve never had any dealings with British Gas whatsoever! Please be cautious and never share any of your details in such situations!

Just received a rather unwelcome call at the crack of dawn-around 4am, to be precise. An individual with an accent was on the other end, inquiring if I was interested in adult services. I've since added this number to my blocked list, that's for sure! How very bizarre!

They disconnected as soon as my voicemail started playing. I'm on the no-call list and have taken steps to prevent unsolicited calls.

Who on earth is calling me from this number?

I recently looked up this number on a website after receiving a rather peculiar call on my mobile. I'm quite relieved that I did! Interestingly, I also had a call yesterday from someone claiming to be a representative of British Gas. It makes me wonder if someone's out there peddling the information of BG customers.

I received a call from this number just now, and the chap sounded as if he was driving. I mentioned that the connection was poor and asked him to ring me back. However, I’m still waiting for that callback, and it hasn’t come through yet.

I just tried calling this number from my mobile, but it keeps saying I've entered it wrong!

Had a rather peculiar phone call earlier, supposedly from British Gas. The accent was so thick I could barely make out what she was saying. When she probed for my address, I firmly replied, “Sorry, I can’t verify that without knowing who you are,” and before I knew it, the line went dead. It’s baffling how this suspicious number continues to operate after all this time! Surely someone ought to be dealing with these dodgy calls?

I received a telephone call from this number yesterday. The person on the line had an accent that sounded foreign and claimed to be calling on behalf of British Gas, wanting to schedule an annual service for my boiler. However, having browsed through some comments from others, I can't help but feel a tad suspicious about the authenticity of the call.

Gave us a bell at the office.

I keep receiving calls from this number, yet I refuse to pick up for anyone not saved in my contacts. Could anyone kindly advise me on how to block it?

This number seems to bother me on a daily basis, claiming to be a firm offering complimentary boilers with no limits based on age or income. Whenever I’m not available, they leave an irritating recorded message on my voicemail. Frankly, it’s becoming quite tiresome. Despite being retirees, we don’t meet the criteria for a free boiler since we don’t receive any benefits, yet these callers assert that we do - absolute nonsense!

I received a rather unprofessional call from someone with a foreign accent claiming to be from British Gas, insisting I pay my bill. I asked them to provide a written invoice, and then they abruptly hung up on me.

I've been receiving calls from this number all day long. Once I finally had a moment to spare when I got back home, I decided to give it a ring. To my surprise, it turned out to be British Gas on the other end. However, I just settled my bill recently, so it didn’t quite add up. I did a quick search online and stumbled upon several comments which were very enlightening. In light of this, I’m definitely going to block the number from now on.

I keep receiving phone calls pestering me about purchasing insurance and asking for my bank information.

I've been receiving some rather bothersome prank calls lately where the other party hangs up as soon as I pick up. Quite irritating, really! I'm thinking of getting in touch with my phone provider to see if there's a way to put a stop to these calls altogether.

I received a call on my mobile from someone wanting to chat with my former spouse regarding an unpaid bill from August linked to my previous address, which she still occupies. She confidently states that all her payments are current!

This dodgy outfit claims to be acting for GoCompare, but I've never given them permission to ring me. I've clearly stated that I don't want any communication from them whatsoever, yet they persist in bombarding me with calls. Quite infuriating, to say the least!

I noticed a missed call from this number and when I tried to ring back, I realised I didn't recognise it at all.
