Reports on phone number 01482293886
4 years01482 29388 is definitely a scam number. Genuine British Gas calls always come from 033 or 0333 prefixes. Never share your personal details. If anyone’s marking this as safe, be very wary of them too. If you get a call like this, report it to this email: [email protected] This kinda scam is known as 'vishing' or voice phishing.British Gas4 yearsGot a call from a woman telling me my Vodafone contract was about to expire and they had a new offer with better perks. I told her I’d just get in touch with Vodafone myself when it gets closer to the date.Vodafone5 yearsHas anyone got any information on whether this number, 01482293886, is linked to British Gas? I’ve been attempting to get in touch with them for ages, but their inquiry line seems perpetually occupied due to all the disruption with repairs, and then suddenly the line just cuts off. It’s rather frustrating! Is there a way to verify if this contact is legitimate before I go ahead and sort out a direct debit? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!British Gas5 yearsI just got a rather dodgy phone call from 01482293886. They claimed to be from British Gas and wanted to verify some details. Anyone else had a similar experience with this number?British Gas5 yearsOn 24/01/2022 at around 6:02 pm, someone rang us from 01482293886 claiming to be from British Gas. They said they were updating records due to us recently switching from a supplier that had gone out of business. They asked for our name, address and phone number to verify details. I requested they confirm the meter readings I’d already given earlier that day. The lady said she’d look into it and promised to ring back, but of course, never did.British Gas5 yearsI had a bloke on the line saying he was from British Gas. I told him a couple of times I couldn’t understand what he was saying at all. After a bit, the call just went dead.British Gas5 yearsAbsolutely a fraudulent call! It had quite a convincing tone, but I verified with British Gas directly, and this number is definitely not theirs. The woman on the line appeared quite believable, which is why one must be cautious. They seem to have your email and will request you confirm both your address and postcode-steer clear of sharing that info! Their main objective appears to be persuading you into setting up a direct debit over the phone-DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO DOING SO! Make sure to report the number and add it to your blocked contacts right away.British Gas5 yearsIt’s such a pain that Ofgem switched me back to British Gas after my previous provider shut down - felt like a proper kick in the teeth! Looking through the comments here, I’m not shocked it’s linked to British Gas. I actually left them because their calls were driving me mad. Funny thing is, as soon as I left, the calls just stopped. Honestly, if I got a call from a number claiming to be British Gas but wasn’t from their usual lines, I’d be pretty wary too. No wonder they cut off straight away when I let it go to voicemail and didn’t say anything.OfgemBritish Gas5 yearsThey said they were from British Gas but the number wasn’t actually one I recognised from them. Seemed like they were trying to get my bank details to set up a direct debit or something. Definitely felt fishy.British Gas5 yearsThey called saying they were from British Gas, trying to arrange a brand new account for me.British Gas5 yearsSounds like you might be one of those scammers just trying to keep the con going.5 yearsGot a call early this morning from a woman saying she was with British Gas. She wanted to set me up with a direct debit after I switched suppliers and asked me for my bank info. At first, I was suspicious and asked for more proof to be sure it was legit. Once she gave me some details about my recent meter readings, I felt a bit more comfortable and gave her the details. But later, I freaked out, worrying I might have been conned, so I googled the number. Then I rang British Gas myself - they told me the time they called, the agent’s name, and confirmed my account had been updated just like the caller said. So even though I was worried, it turns out it really was a proper call, not a scam.British Gas5 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with British Gas, saying they needed my bank details to switch my energy from my previous supplier who’d apparently gone under. It all sounded a bit too clever to be true. I ended the call straight away and contacted British Gas myself. They told me nothing had happened on my account for weeks and advised me to report the number to my phone company. Definitely a scam to watch out for.British GasBG5 yearsGot a call off someone saying they were from British Gas. I didn’t tell them anything and just ended the call straight away. Then I phoned British Gas on their official number to check. They told me this number (01482293886) isn’t theirs at all and it’s actually a scam. Real British Gas calls always come from numbers beginning with 08 or 03, apparently.British Gas5 yearsToday I got a call from someone saying they were from British Gas. I wasn't too sure about it, so I just hung up. After that, I rang British Gas myself and they told me the call was actually legit.British Gas5 yearsI just got a call from British Gas. They told me my account info and the balance without me having to share any details first. Felt a bit off, to be honest.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from British Gas, saying she wanted to help me set up a direct debit. Thing is, I already have one sorted! She kept saying she couldn't find it on her end. I told her I could easily show proof that my direct debit is active. She said she’d look into it and call me back the next day. Feels fishy to me. Bet she’ll soon ask for my bank info - not happening!British GasDD5 yearsWhile I was speaking to someone on this number, I looked it up here. Turned out it was a company calling for British Gas. They already knew my details like name, email, phone and direct debit info, which was all already set up, so I didn’t give out any bank info. I asked the guy to confirm he was really with British Gas, and he emailed me from an @britishgas.co.uk address which seemed genuine. It was a bit odd since I’d already sorted everything before their call.British Gas5 yearsGot a ring earlier from a woman claiming to be with British Gas. She rattled off my postcode, name and the last four digits of my account number straight away. When I asked her a few questions, she got all defensive, just kept insisting she worked for BG. Said she was calling to welcome me and wanted to go over my account and sort out a direct debit. Something felt off about the caller and the number, so I just ended the call.British Gas5 yearsThis bloke said he was from British Gas and asked for my bank details to sort out a direct debit. Seemed fishy to me!British Gas5 yearsSounds like a total con to me.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas, asking to verify my name and address. They didn’t ask for any payment info, which was a relief. I did mention that I’d just switched over from my old supplier recently.British Gas5 yearsAt first, I was a bit suspicious about a call from British Gas, but then they followed it up with an email from an address ending with ...britishgas.co.uk. They even gave me the last four digits of my account number, which made me feel it was legit. They sorted out a problem I had with my meter readings and helped me set up a direct debit. They only asked for my account number and sort code, which seemed safe enough since they can’t use those to buy stuff or take random payments online. They mentioned a fixed tariff deal they had, so I jotted down the info and had a look around for better offers. In the end, nothing beat their deal, so I went ahead with it. The update appeared on my account in just a few hours. Definitely not some scam, and it’s actually helping me save some cash over time.Gas5 yearsI had a call from a number I didnt recognise so I just BLOCKED it right away. Checked online and turns out it's a scammer for sure!!!5 yearsGot a call from 01482 293886, some bloke claiming to be from British Gas trying to sort out my energy account. Already got my gas and electric sorted, so no thanks. What a load of rubbish!British Gas5 yearsThat one was dodgy! The bloke sounded quite convincing and knew loads about British Gas. Honestly, with all the info he had, it feels like British Gas might have leaked some of our details somewhere.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were BG and needed to do a DPA check. I told them I wouldn't do it and said they were the ones who rang me! It felt dodgy because they asked for my account number - so I just laughed and asked for theirs instead. Needless to say, I hung up straight away. Merry Christmas!BGDPA5 yearsYeah, totally a scam for sure. The number’s got a Hull area code, but the website they showed is from a groundwork firm based in Bridport. That Bridport company just uses a mobile number and their website looks pretty professional, but if you check street view it’s just a quiet road with loads of bungalows. Absolutely not the British Gas they say it is.HullBridportStreet ViewBritish Gas5 yearsGot a call from 01482293886 claiming to be British Gas. I looked up the number and found it’s actually linked to a local company called JPR, which does building work here in Bridport. I called back and the person insisted they were from British Gas, said a colleague would call me again. Decided to block the number just in case.British GasJPRBridport5 yearsSo I got a call today from 01482293886. The person on the line had such a heavy accent that the only thing I could make out was “British Gas.” Everything else went right over my head. Ended up just hanging up.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas, asked me for my info right on the phone. They didn’t want to let me check or confirm anything on the official British Gas site, which seemed really dodgy to me.British Gas5 yearsAbsolutely, it appears to be a scammer posing as British Gas once again.British Gas5 yearsI picked up, said "Hi", and they just cut the call straight away.5 yearsI got a call the other day from a number saying they were from British Gas about switching my energy supplier. Something didn’t feel right though, so I cut the call short. Later, I rang up British Gas myself to double-check and it turned out the call was a scam. The number that called me was 01482293886.British Gas5 yearsGot a call saying they were from British Gas, wanting to "welcome me as a new customer" since I’d recently switched after my old energy supplier folded. (Which is true, I did move over from PfP to British Gas.) But something about the call felt off, so I told them a better time to ring again, but of course, they never bothered. Pretty sure it was some sort of scam, so I just blocked the number and moved on.British GasPfP5 yearsGot a call from this number just yesterday. Heads up, it’s definitely not British Gas calling. I checked with British Gas through their website’s live chat today, and they told me it’s not one of their official numbers.British GasLive Chat5 yearsI received a call from someone professing to represent British Gas, and they were after information regarding our newly set-up account.British Gas5 yearsJust like everyone else, I got a call from someone claiming to be British Gas. They said they needed to check my details since my old provider had stopped. Honestly, can British Gas please get their act together?British Gas5 yearsGot a ring from someone claiming to be British Gas, saying they needed to verify my account and tariff info. They asked me to confirm my full name and address, but I wasn’t keen on giving out details they should already have. Something about it just seemed off to me.British Gas5 yearsToday I got a call from a woman claiming to be with British Gas. She already had my new BG account number and the sales order number ready. She asked me to arrange my Direct Debit over the phone, but I told her I’d prefer to do it online once I knew the amount I needed to pay. I read out my meter reading so she could work it out, and she even mentioned that my last reading was submitted on 4th October. If this is a con, it’s pretty convincing because they definitely have some of our details!British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be British Gas. They wanted my bank info to set up a direct debit. Seemed fishy to me.British Gas5 yearsI have been transferred to British Gas, but I've learned to never give out my info on the phone. If it really was British Gas, they should be looking after their customers' data instead of passing it on to some call centre. I've blocked the number now.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're from British Gas trying to verify my info. I didn't give any info and hung up. After that, I checked with British Gas and they said they had no record of the call. They told me to just ignore it. So, I've blocked the number just in case.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from British Gas trying to verify my info. I didn’t go along with it. After that, I contacted British Gas myself and they told me there's no record of such calls and to just ignore it. I’ve since blocked the number.British Gas5 yearsAs soon as I picked up, some weird hold music started playing - I’d already sorted my gas account a few weeks back! Seriously, don’t share your info with random callers - if you need to, ring BRITISH GAS yourself straight away.British Gas5 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, claiming to be from British Gas. They were asking me to sort out a direct debit. I told them to post the direct debit form to the address they showed, then they just dropped the call.British Gas5 yearsGot a call saying it was British Gas but wanted my personal info. Didn’t share a thing and just blocked them straight away.British Gas5 yearsGot a call but they didn’t say anything or leave a message.5 yearsToday this number rang me up with an offer for a fixed price deal until 2024, sounded good so I took it. Just looked at my British Gas app and saw everything’s been changed over. Much better than last week when I rang them and they were asking for way more. Pretty chuffed with how it worked out on a Saturday morning!British Gas5 yearsYeah, it’s for sure British Gas. I checked my account and it’s got the new tariff on there now. Honestly, it’s a way better deal than what I got offered a few weeks back when I phoned them.British Gas5 yearsDefinitely a scam, it’s nothing to do with British Gas.British Gas5 yearsGot a call on my landline but I didn’t answer it. Seems dodgy since I’m up here in Scotland, and Scottish Gas always rings me if there’s anything up.ScotlandScottish Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas. They already knew my name and that BG had taken over my energy account. Then they wanted me to verify some security info, but I didn’t give anything since they called me first. The caller didn’t seem to realise this is exactly how scammers operate. When he started debating with me, I just ended the call.British Gas5 yearsI got a phone call claiming to be from British Gas, but before they’d say why they were ringing, they wanted me to verify loads of personal info first, like my full name, address and birthday. No way was I giving that out. I bet if I’d gone on, they’d have asked for my mum’s maiden name, the name of my childhood pet or which school I first went to. I’ve reported it to the ICO since my number is registered with the TPS.British GasICOTelephone Preference Service5 yearsThis number rang me claiming to be from British Gas, trying to verify my information. When I asked if I could ring them back to confirm, they just ended the call straight away. Felt a bit dodgy to me.British Gas5 yearsI got a call earlier from some woman claiming she was with British Gas. She wanted me to arrange a direct debit but I wasn't convinced.British Gas5 yearsThey said it was British Gas on the line, but I wasn’t convinced. I didn’t share anything except told them my name to be polite.British Gas5 yearsThis seemed like a pretty clever scam to me. The caller claimed to be from British Gas and mentioned something about switching accounts, which I know has been a common trick lately. They wanted me to confirm my personal info, and strangely, they already knew part of my address. At first, I naively handed over my name and house number before I got a nagging feeling that things weren’t adding up. They insisted I verify my details but couldn’t provide my account number or help me with anything online. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust them at all!British Gas5 yearsJust got a call from British Gas - they said they’re taking over my supply from the old provider that went bust. They also mentioned some new 12-month fixed deal called Home Serve, starting November 2021. Sounds like they’re trying to sort everything out smoothly.British Gas5 yearsThey just called saying they were from British Gas.British Gas5 yearsNot a scam or anything like that. Got a call this morning from the same number about setting up a direct debit with British Gas. I was actually waiting for them to get in touch since BG took over PfP on 24th September. Spoke to a woman called Vanessa, told her I’d prefer to sort it online. However, when I tried online, I couldn’t set up the DD because it asked for my meter readings, then it wanted me to change the frequency of my smart meter (which is 7 years old), but for some reason that option wasn’t working. I rang BG directly, but they couldn’t really help. They did note something on my account and passed me on to billing, but I hung up after waiting around 30 minutes. So I phoned back 01482293886, asked Vanessa to check the last comment left on my account by a BG rep. She did and it matched what I was told earlier. She set up the DD after just asking for my sort code and account number - didn’t ask for any extra info like card details or anything. She then asked how much I wanted to pay (I said about £146 a month) and which date I preferred. Checked my online account after and it showed the DD was all set. Still got to sort out the meter readings with billing though, as their hours are 9 to 5.British GasPfPVanessaBG5 yearsSounds like one of them scam calls where they want your bank info.5 yearsThis number, 01482293886, rang me twice over the past couple of days but never dropped a voicemail or anything. Pretty odd really.5 yearsI didn’t know the number so just let it ring out. Like a lot of fraudsters, they never bothered to leave any message. Usually, genuine people leave one.5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise so I just let it ring out. I only recently changed to British Gas after my old provider went under, so this probably one of those scams like others have mentioned here.British Gas5 yearsI got a phone call from someone claiming to be British Gas, trying to push some special deal and wanted me to arrange a direct debit right then and there. So I rang British Gas myself and found out it was a scam because they never ask you to set up direct debits on the phone.British Gas5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from BG, asked me to verify my info. I told them no way I’m sharing any details unless they tell me who they are. Then they dropped a name that definitely wasn’t mine, and when I said I had no idea who that was, they just hung up on me. Weird!BG5 yearsJust got a call from this exact same number. They wanted my address to sort out a payment for my British Gas bill. I asked if I could make the payment via their app, and they said no, not for the initial payment. I told them I was busy and asked if they could ring me later. I’m planning to check with British Gas through their live chat to see if this call was legit.British Gas5 yearsI’ve had a few sketchy calls too, really makes you wonder. I’ll definitely ring up British Gas to confirm what’s going on.British Gas5 yearsHad the same experience. My provider went under and I got switched over to BG. The person on the phone kept trying to get me to spill all my private info, but I asked them to first tell me what info they already had, so I could verify it. They refused to share anything. Then they said I was on a variable tariff which may rise soon, but I actually have an email from BG that locks in my rate till at least April 2022. Felt like a dodgy scam to me.British Gas5 yearsSo, I got a call from British Gas recently because my energy supplier went under and they took over my account. They wanted to get everything sorted, double-check my info, and see if I’m on the right tariff. It was just them making sure everything’s in order with my new setup.British Gas5 yearsCalled me twice the past two days but didn’t bother to leave a voicemail.5 yearsI didn’t answer the phone cause I didn’t know the number.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from British Gas, offering some special tariff.
