I received a missed call from this number yesterday, and they only tried ringing once. Curiosity got the better of us, so we decided to investigate online, hoping to uncover the identity of the caller since we don’t know anyone from the Swindon area. It appears this number could be linked to some sort of nuisance caller. Rest assured, we have no intention of answering if they try to reach us again! We’ve recently switched to British Gas, but whenever they contact us, it’s always from an 0800 number.

I keep getting calls from this number, but I can’t seem to place who on earth it is.

We've been receiving calls from an unknown number, and we're completely baffled as to who is on the other end of the line. It's rather perplexing!

I received a call from this number, and the callers claimed to be from British Gas. They explained they wanted to schedule an appointment in line with our home care agreement to check the boiler. They didn't request any personal details from me and seemed quite genuine.

Honestly, we are absolutely at our wit’s end with these persistent nuisances ringing our mobile five times a day, without fail. Initially, we thought we’d engage and pick up, but there was absolute silence on the other end; not a soul in sight, nor any message left-couldn’t even be bothered to claim we’d won a grand prize! It's beyond irritating. After some digging, we discovered that these callers are based in Swindon, and lo and behold, the number is untraceable when you try to call back. I reckon Ofcom ought to step in and put a stop to this nonsense forthwith.

I received a call earlier today from 01793 479985, inquiring about someone named Margaret McQuwean. I’m baffled as to how they manage to obtain numbers that should be unlisted! Who on earth is she? When I tried to return the call, it just came up with an error. Come on, BT, can you shed some light on who these callers are?

Received a call but found nobody on the line. When I dialled 1471 to trace the number and attempted a return call, it was deemed unobtainable. We've added this number to our zap directory to block any future calls, yet lo and behold, another one from Swindon popped up (01793479099). I've zapped that one too and now I’m just curious to see what happens next.

I've been inundated with calls from this number lately, but we rely on TrueCall to filter them out. These callers never bother to leave a message, and given that we're currently in the throes of changing our gas supplier to British Gas, we suspect it might be them trying to get in touch.

I received a call from this number earlier today, and the caller claimed to be from British Gas. She was inquiring about why we'd switched our energy supplier, but she seemed rather evasive. When she asked us a question, we chose not to answer, and she simply wished us a lovely day before hanging up. Quite an odd conversation, to say the least!

This afternoon, we received a call from 01793 479985, but they didn’t bother to stick around for a chat. Since we're in the process of parting ways with British Gas, I can't help but think this number might belong to them, especially after seeing similar messages from others on here.

We received a call from this number, but we chose not to answer and definitely won't be returning the call. Interestingly, much like what someone else mentioned, we are also in the midst of parting ways with British Gas. Could possibly be them, perhaps?

We received a missed call from this number, but when we tried to return the call, it went straight to voicemail! We're actually anticipating a call from British Gas, but the missed call came from an 08000 number, which has left us a bit confused. Not quite sure what's going on now!

Received a call earlier today from the number 01793 479985, supposedly linked to a Margaret McQuwean. It's baffling how these individuals manage to have ex-directory numbers. Does anyone have any idea who she might be? The call just seemed like a mishap. Seriously, BT, do enlighten us about who’s behind this?

Earlier today, I received a call from this number. The caller claimed to be Matthew from British Gas and seemed rather elusive when asking about our change of energy provider. When we hesitated to respond to her inquiry, she abruptly wished us a pleasant day and hung up. Quite the odd interaction!

If someone could kindly uncover the whereabouts of these numpties in Swindon, I'd appreciate it if you could share that information here. It's become utterly tiresome dealing with their incessant calls to our number. Honestly, it makes me want to pay them a visit and set their establishment ablaze! To all those annoying scammers out there, just know we hold you in absolute disdain. Here's hoping karma catches up with you in the most excruciating way possible!

I received a call from what turned out to be a fraudulent number. The young lady on the line claimed to be associated with British Gas, saying she was simply following up to confirm some information. She asked for our email address and post code. As a new customer who has already settled my bill with them, I was quite perplexed as to why she needed such details. We expressed our concerns and told her we would return her call, but when I dialled the number back, it was perpetually engaged. This prompted me to reach out directly to British Gas for clarification, and they confirmed that they had no record of this number. So, heed my advice-stay vigilant!

Earlier today, we received a missed call from 01793 479985, and just the other day, another from 01793 479099. I'm in the process of parting ways with British Gas, so it's quite likely these calls are linked to them.

I recently received a dodgy call from this number, where a young lady claimed to represent British Gas. She mentioned it was just a courtesy call to verify some information, and then asked for my email and postcode. Having just signed up and settled my bill with BG, I found it rather suspicious and questioned her motives for requiring that information. We told her we would ring back, only to find the number was constantly engaged. Concerned, we decided to reach out to British Gas directly, and to our surprise, they didn't know anything about the call. This definitely wasn't legitimate, so take heed!
