They kept ringing me back over and over again. Definitely a scam.

Checked this number here after seeing it pop up, and after reading what others said about it being a scam, I just went ahead and blocked it straight away.

My electric bill shot up so I checked one of those price comparison sites. Weirdly, a bloke claiming he was with 'British Gas' rang me pretty quick, offering a much better deal. I asked for an email with details and he sent one over. The email looked proper, had the logo, the usual British Gas info at the bottom and all that. But something felt off because the number was an 01482 code, which seemed odd. Turns out, it was a scam!

A few days back, I looked up cheaper energy providers online. Since then, this number has been ringing me non-stop, but I never picked up. Seeing what others have said here, I’m gonna block them now.

Got a call from someone pretending to be British Gas, really pushy bloke trying to get me to share details about my current energy supplier, plus personal stuff and my address. He kept insisting he had a better deal for me. I kept asking if he was legit, and after about 4 minutes of me grilling him, he just cut off the call. Quite suspicious if you ask me.

Claimed it was some kind of utility scam, so I wasn’t interested at all.

I keep getting calls from the same fraudsters but they just hang up as soon as I pick up. I’m gonna block the number, though they’ll likely just ring from some other one. It all kicked off after I put my info on that Sitcharoo comparison website, so watch out before sharing your details. I’m thinking of reporting Sitcharoo too now.

This number has rung me up quite a few times but never leaves a voicemail. Seems dodgy, probably one of those cold calling sorts.

Checked out an energy site and right after, my phone went crazy with calls. Could be a scam or maybe it's genuine, but either way, I wouldn’t really trust it.

About two hours passed and then the same number phoned me again. I told the person I'd looked up the number and it was marked as a scam. They kept saying it wasn’t, but I’m convinced it is, so I said I’d report it and ended the call.

I was looking online for the cheapest electric supplier and gave them my number thinking I might save around £300. They said I'd get a ring from Scottish Energy or British Gas. Then British Gas rang, but something felt off, so I just ended the call. After checking this website, I realised it was a scam. Now I’m guessing I’ll probably get loads more calls since they have my info.

This number keeps ringing me while I’m trying to sort out a new energy deal. I can't tell if it’s really from an energy company, so I decided to check online. Turns out, there’s loads of bad reviews about this number. Really suspicious!

This wasn’t British Gas, it’s a scam for sure. Had a call from them and it just didn’t seem right at all. Definitely watch out, it’s not the real company.

Since I used an energy comparison website, they've been ringing me every day. I picked up today, and they claimed to be from British Gas, trying to do a tariff comparison with my current supplier. They gave me a quote on the spot and I said I was keen, but then they asked for my bank details, like my sort code and account number, which I wouldn’t give. I told them to email me all the info instead. Haven't heard back yet...!

Got a call four times from someone saying they were British Gas, but luckily I thought twice and checked with this site. Definitely wasn’t going to trust it without knowing more. Seems like one of those offers that’s just too good to be real!

I picked up the phone today and a bloke claiming to be from British Gas said they’re the cheapest energy provider. I asked him how I could be sure he was genuine, but all he said was “I’m from British Gas”. Thing is, they rang me just a few minutes after I’d looked at a price comparison site, so I’m really not convinced it was actually them. Like I’ve said before, that’s no good way to do business. Watch out, people.

I guess it’s a classic bait and switch. I was just checking some websites to compare utility prices and popped in my phone number, then bam! The calls started pouring in right away. Nope, that’s not gonna make me sign up with them.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with British Gas after I used a site to compare bills. Turned out, they were actually from Newbridge, not British Gas at all. Bit misleading if you ask me.

Had a bloke ring up saying he was from British Gas, asking if I wanted to sort out a new energy deal. Sounded pretty genuine to me, especially as I’d been browsing around for some new gas and electric tariffs recently. Didnt sound like one of those dodgy overseas call centres either.

Got a call from someone claiming they worked for British Gas and said they saw me checking utility comparison websites. They kept asking who I switched my service to and how much I was paying. Ended up just hanging up on them. Feels like these comparison sites might be leaking or selling personal info. If you’ve just moved, watch out - they’ll keep calling, trying to scam you. They’ve been ringing me twice a day every day for the last week!

I didn’t pick up initially, but then got a call back from a different number. The person said they were either from British Gas or some kind of British Gas alternative and started trying to sell me something. I told them I thought the number must be wrong and apologised for bothering them, but he said he’d probably try me again anyway and carried on with his sales spiel. What felt a bit strange was that it’s a landline, yet the man who answered sounded like he was outside. This has been going on with daily calls for about a week now.
