1 yearI got a call from them but they just dropped it straight away. When I tried ringing back, they started rambling about some kind of "discount" deal.2 yearsI picked up and there was this guy with a foreign accent asking if I was (my name). When I asked him who he was, he just hung up on me! Totally felt like a scam.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from a boiler servicing firm. Barely two minutes in, she wanted my bank info. It was clearly a con. I just blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI managed to block the number just in time before they even got a chance to ring me.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying there’s an issue with my boiler. How on earth could they know that? I told them straight up they sounded like a scammer and maybe they should find a proper, honest job instead. Unsurprisingly, they ended the call right away. Then, I blocked the number to be safe.2 yearsThis number called me the other day, some bloke with an Indian accent saying he was just making sure our boiler was okay and then asked for bank info to renew some kind of contract on it. What freaked me out was that he actually knew our postcode and address. Even more fishy, he rang me straight back after I hung up on him to have another go. Watch out for this one!2 yearsDefinetly sounds like a scam to me.2 yearsWasn’t sure who it was so I ignored the call. As soon as my voicemail kicked in, the line got cut off. They didn’t leave any message, so I’m guessing it was one of those scam calls.2 yearsNo idea where he was calling from. I asked him to spell out the company name and he just ended the call. Definitely a scam!!!2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from British Gas, offering boiler cover. They asked for my bank details straight away. When I said it sounded dodgy and asked for proof, the woman insisted “this isn’t a scam call”. I told her I’d call British Gas myself to confirm, then she just hung up. This makes three scam calls I've had in just two days now.British Gas2 yearsI received a call from a number that claimed to represent British Gas, but it seemed quite dodgy. I'm starting to wonder if it was a spoofed call. Anyone else encountered something similar?British Gas2 yearsGot a call earlier saying they were from British Gas. Thing is, I don't even have a gas boiler, plus I thought I was on their no call list. Definitely looks like a scam to me.British Gas2 yearsI picked up the call and they just hung up immediately.2 yearsIf only these scammers could talk in proper English, then maybe when I tell them to bugger off, they'd actually get it. They deserve a proper jail sentence with some tough hard graft.2 yearsThis bloke called claiming to be from British Gas, he even mentioned our address, but then asked me for my bank details and sort code. Felt pretty dodgy to me.British Gas2 yearsReceived a call a minute ago from 01261838638. A lady claimed to be from British Gas asking about my boiler cover.

Seems like a total scam to me.British Gas2 years01261838638 showed up on my phone but I just ignored it and let it ring out because I didn’t know who it was. No voicemail was left or anything. After reading through other comments, it’s clear this is just another scam call. I’m on the TPS anyway so legit calls shouldn’t be coming through. It’s really frustrating dealing with all these bogus calls every day. I can’t imagine how these scammers live with themselves, and I often think about how it’d feel if someone close to them got caught out by one of these tricks.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from someone about my boiler service, total spam. Don't trust these lot!Junk2 yearsBeware of a scam where someone calls claiming to be from British Gas about your boiler service. I got a call from them and it really seemed legit at first, but it felt off when they started asking for card details. Don’t fall for it - always double-check by calling the official number yourself before giving out any info. These fraudsters are getting sneaky!2 yearsGot a call around 4:15pm today from a number that didn’t even say who they were to my call blocker. Pretty sure it was some dodgy robocall trying to scam me!2 yearsGot a call from some Indian bloke claiming to be from British Gas.

I told him I wasn’t interested and just hung up straight away.British Gas2 yearsGot a call from a woman with a strong Indian accent claiming she was Jo from UK Now. She wanted me to verify my address but the moment I didn’t, she just ended the call.Jo2 yearsThe caller mentioned they were calling from British Gas, checking if our boiler is working alright. I was about to tell her that I’d been trying to get hold of British Gas for ages with no luck. Then she asked if I own the house, and when I asked why that mattered for my boiler, she just hung up on me.British Gas2 yearsI just ignored it, figured it was some sort of scam call, so blocked the number straight away!2 yearsI reckon this call was fishy, might be one of those scam attempts.2 yearsI ignored the call ‘cos the number was unknown. No voicemail or anything, just a load of noise in the background. Sounded like one of those call centres. We’re on the TPS anyway.2 yearsThey didn't really give me any details, just said it was about my gas boiler, which I found quite funny since there’s actually no gas connected in this estate.2 yearsI saw the call but didn’t pick up since the number wasn’t familiar to me.2 yearsJust had someone call me about upgrading my boiler maintenance. Sounded like they were trying to sell some sort of service deal. Not sure if it’s legit or just another sales pitch!2 yearsThey somehow knew my full name and where I live. The guy said he was calling from BG, offering me a 'better' central heating cover with extra benefits, claiming it would save me money. Then he started asking what brand my boiler was. If this was all legit, surely they’d have that info already? Then he wanted my bank sort code. I told him I wasn’t comfortable giving that out on a call. He suddenly sounded really flustered. Definitely felt like a scam to me.BG2 yearsThere was a lot of shouting and music like someone was having a big bash, but the phone said the call came from Banff, Scotland - sounded nowhere near that, more like somewhere far away, maybe outside Europe. They started asking about our boiler cover, but when we both answered together with “which one?” he kept pushing, so my husband replied, “Bob, which boiler exactly are you referring to?” Then the caller just cut us off. No doubt it was a scam, so we’ve blocked the number and told BT about it.BanffScotlandEuropeBobBT2 yearsMy wife kept saying hello about six times but it took ages for some bloke to pick up. She just gave up and left the phone.2 yearsSomeone said they were from British Gas and wanted info about my boiler.

Honestly, don’t give these scammers anything!2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with British Gas, asking if my boiler was alright. When I asked them to prove they were legit, they just ended the call straight away. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.British Gas2 yearsI answered the phone, but the caller just ended the call straight away.2 yearsMy 85 year old gran got a call from this number claiming to be from British Gas about her boiler. They somehow had some of her personal info and then asked for her bank details, like her sort code and account number. Just a heads up, this is definitely a scam. I rang the number back, but it turned out to be some kind of phone survey company. I couldn’t speak to anyone because no one answered, and their voicemail was full so I couldn’t leave a message. I’m still trying to find another way to contact them to report what their worker was up to, but no luck so far.British Gas2 yearsGot a call from 01261838638 but they didn’t leave any voicemail.

Each time all I could hear was some weird, jumbled noises for a few seconds before they just hung up.2 yearsFor two days straight we've told them the person they want has passed away, asked them not to ring again and to remove our number from their list.

Someone should check this out.2 yearsGot a missed call from that number, but honestly, I’m not even gonna bother ringing back!2 yearsI just got a call from 0126 1838638 on my home phone and I didn’t pick up.

Total scam attempts.2 yearsI saw 01261838638 pop up but didn’t pick up since it wasn’t saved. They didn’t bother to leave a voicemail either, so I’m pretty sure it’s just another scam call, just like what others have mentioned here before.2 yearsI missed the call and it went straight to voicemail, but since there was no message left, I figured it was probably a scam and decided to block the number.2 yearsThey kept insisting on questions, all of which I answered with yes.
