3 yearsToday, while I was at my mother-in-law's place, she got a call from someone named Alex Williams. I ended up answering the phone. The number shown was 01273977849. This bloke claimed he was with Nationwide Heating Services working for British Gas and said she could get a discount on her monthly payment for her British Gas service plan. He asked for the bank details like sort code and account number, but I didn’t give anything. After a bit, he gave up and ended the call when he wasn’t getting the info he wanted. Definitely a dodgy call, so watch out!Alex WilliamsNationwide Heating ServicesBritish Gas3 yearsI had a similar experience; it made me aware of the excessive amounts I was shelling out. They really assisted in lowering those costs and even took care of my boiler maintenance too.3 yearsIt seems that prior remarks have indeed been left by individuals running a scam via this number. The calls appear to be traced back to a call centre located in Morocco. This is clearly a boiler room scam.Morocco4 yearsI missed the call at first, so I called back straightaway. A man picked up and I asked if he had just tried to reach me. He replied, "I think so," then asked for my name. When I gave him my surname, he suddenly asked if I was Edward Woodward. Seriously? I’m a woman, and neither my first name nor my last is anything like Edward or Woodward. I was getting pretty frustrated, especially since I have a close relative seriously unwell in hospital. In the end, I just hung up on him.Edward WoodwardEdwardWoodward4 yearsIt was quite good, really. They informed me about my existing policy and helped me schedule my yearly boiler maintenance.4 yearsA bit of a bother timing-wise, but at least it’s secure.4 yearsI told Alex to quit messing around and get a real job instead of scamming poor elderly folks, after he'd already wasted enough of my time.Alex4 yearsThey called about some gas heating we don't even have and somehow already knew our names. I've put them on the block list now.4 yearsReally frustrating how they kept guessing my name, so in the end I just put the phone down.4 yearsGot a call sayin I could get a discount and they asked for my bank info. I just ended the call straight away. This is actually the fourth time I’ve gotten calls like this today, all from different firms saying I qualify for a reduction. I’ve just been hangin up on all of them cos I’m really sick of it now.4 yearsMy mum and dad, who are really old now, keep getting calls from this number. They keep trying to chat with my dad, hoping he’ll hand over bank info or something. Luckily, my mum’s stepped in each time and stopped anything from going wrong. I’m planning to just block this number to hopefully stop all the bother. They say it’s about some insurance refund, but my parents don’t even have insurance with them. This seems like a proper dodgy scam, and it’s hard to understand why the police haven’t done anything about it yet.5 yearsSo, I got a rather dodgy call the other day, where the chap claimed that since I hadn't needed any boiler repairs over the past year, he could lower my direct debit. He insisted I was linked to British Gas Homecare, but I had to inform him that I’ve got no dealings with them whatsoever. Then he had the nerve to suggest I dig out my bank statement to check for this mysterious direct debit. Clearly a scam, if you ask me!British Gas Homecare5 yearsTotal nuisance, best to avoid them altogether.5 yearsGot a call from this number today, 3rd Nov 2021. The guy kept pushing that my boiler required a service and insisted I should arrange it straight away to dodge expensive repairs. He was pretty pushy and a bit intimidating. When he mentioned unexpected breakdowns would be charged at £80 an hour on top of the £8 monthly fee I supposedly pay, I told him I don’t have any monthly contract with anyone and asked why he was bothering me. Then he just hung up. Honestly, felt quite unnerving and a bit dodgy.5 yearsGot a call from 01273977849 saying I qualified for a no call-out charge on my boiler insurance. They asked for my bank sort code to 'process' it. I said there’s no way I’m giving out bank info over the phone. They tried to reassure me they didn’t want my card number or security code, but I wasn’t having it and told them I’d hang up. They cut the call off instead.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Alex Williams and claiming to be from British Gas or HomeServe, trying to pitch a better deal. We’re not signed up with them anyway, so this just smelt like a dodgy scam to me.Home ServeBritish GasAlex Williams5 yearsI've just received an overly aggressive phone call trying to sell me insurance for my washing machine. Quite the nuisance, really!5 yearsThey rang me up saying because we hadn’t had to use our boiler cover properly, they’d lower the monthly fee. I asked them to send something in writing first, but then the bloke started asking for my bank details. I couldn’t believe they expected me to just give that over, so I just ended the call.5 yearsMy mum, who’s currently switching her boiler insurance from British Gas to a different known company, got a call from someone claiming her rates would go down since she hadn’t made a claim in ages. The bloke even mentioned the exact price she was expecting. She hung up and phoned her new provider, who said they’d never heard of that number. How on earth did that person get hold of my mum’s info?British Gas5 yearsI got a call from someone named Alex Williams saying our three star gas cover would be cheaper, but it just didn't seem right. Watch out for this one!!!Alex Williams5 yearsI just got a call from 01273877849, sounded like someone from Hastings.Hastings5 yearsWilliams AlexAlex Williams5 yearsI got a call about some kind of boiler or central heating cover, something to do with a direct debit. When I asked for more info, they got pretty annoyed and didn’t want to explain much. Just a heads up - watch out for this, seems like a scam!5 yearsGot called about some boiler insurance cover, sounded like a total scam to me.
