2 yearsI’d say it’s best just to ignore this number altogether.2 yearsTotal scam, just ignore and don’t bother leaving a message.2 yearsI let this one ring out, didn't pick up.3 yearsI got a call about some energy-saving offer, felt like a total scam to me. They kept pushing some scheme that sounded dodgy, so I just hung up. Watch out, I wouldn’t trust those types trying to save you money!3 yearsGot a call from a woman, I think she was from India, asking if my gas boiler was functioning properly. I told her she should probably find out first if the person she’s calling even has a gas boiler… since there’s no gas supply at all where I live. She just ended the call right after that.India3 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy who said he was from Domestic and General, knew my name and wanted me to confirm my address. Then he started going on about Direct Debit, so I just ended the call right there.Direct Debit3 yearsI was still on the phone, but after I hung up the line stayed open, just no words came through.3 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from "Green Home Assist" about some gas boiler insurance. Seemed a bit dodgy. Not long after, someone else rang pretending to be a detective from Scotland Yard. Definitely felt like a scam.Green Home AssistScotland Yard3 yearsReceived a call from this number claiming to be British Gas Homecare, talking about boiler cover. I didn’t say my name but they kept asking for my mum by name (she’s been gone for 10 years now) or anyone from the family. As soon as I told them she passed away a decade ago, they just hung up.British Gas Homecare3 yearsJust got a call about boilers again, so I've gone ahead and blocked the number.3 yearsGot a call from a woman with a strong Asian accent pretending to be from British Gas about some boiler service contract. I'm renting through a housing association, so all that stuff is already sorted for me. Plus, I don't even use British Gas! I nicely told her to buzz off. Seems like a total scam to me.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas about our boiler. Told them we don't even use British Gas, so it was pretty clear it was a scam.British Gas3 yearsThe person on the phone wanted to talk to my wife and even knew what her name was. But when I asked who it was and why they wanted to speak to her, they just hung up. Felt like something dodgy was going on.3 yearsGot a call a moment ago claiming to be from British Gas about a boiler check-up... but we don’t even have a boiler here!British Gas3 yearsI got a call from 01970629940, the guy said he was from Domestic and General. I do have some appliances covered with them, but what he talked about didn’t match anything I’ve got insured. At first, I didn’t suspect a thing, sounded pretty legit to me.3 yearsTotal scam, without a doubt. Got a call with a lot of background noise, and the line was really rubbish. Some woman said she was from British Gas and wanted me to verify my info (didn't give anything away but she oddly seemed to know my details). She said it was for sending out new papers about an upgraded boiler service. As soon as I told her I wasn't convinced she was genuine, she just cut the call.British Gas3 yearsSeems like that dodgy boiler scam is back in town. After seeing those two dodgy blokes, Galloway and Farage, pulling their tricks, it was a bit of a laugh calling out another low-grade con artist trying to blag details for their own benefit. Pretty much the same sort of grubby behaviour as those two, if you ask me.GallowayFarage3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas. When I asked to be transferred to a specific department, they couldn’t provide that info, so I just hung up.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from them yesterday about a new cheaper 3 year deal for my washing machine. Strange part was he asked me for the model number like they didn’t already have it. He was full of technical terms, saying if the washer can’t be fixed blah blah. I told him I had a renewal quote that was way pricier than what he was saying. Then he wanted to know how old the machine was, saying it must be under five years. I said it wasn’t, then he just abruptly ended the call. Seems like a dodgy scam trying to catch people out for sure.3 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from British Gas, saying they wanted to schedule a boiler check. We’re not even with BG, so I just blocked the number.British Gas3 yearsGot a call early this morning that woke me up. I didn’t pick up, but I looked the number up and it turned out to be a definite scam. I blocked it straight away.3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be British Gas about our boiler. They seemed to know loads about us already. My missus answered, but as soon as she said the name on the account wasn’t hers, they just cut off. Bit suspicious if you ask me.British Gas3 yearsSomeone called me earlier looking for a Mr Michael Fish, which was a bit odd! The caller said her name was Sandra something, but she had a strong foreign accent that made it hard to catch everything. When I asked which company she was from, her answer was totally unclear. After a bit of back and forth, the line just went dead. Feels like one of those call centre scam calls to me.Michael FishSandra3 yearsGot a quiet call today. Just so you know, we’re registered with TPS.TPS3 yearsI really don't get call centres, honestly. I reckon the people who work there are just a bunch of pond creatures. Why do they even bother?3 yearsThey called me a couple of times but didn’t say anything, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number.3 yearsDefinitely not from British Gas. Got a call out of the blue trying to push boiler insurance on me - total scam.British Gas3 yearsDefinitely not British Gas calling here. They wanted to check my ‘service contract’ that I never signed up for. When I said I didn’t have one, they accused me of messing around with them. Then they dropped the line they know my name and address - felt more like a threat than just a bluff to me.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from a bloke saying he was with British Gas about a boiler check. He had quite a strong Indian accent and kept trying to squeeze my bank info out of me. In the end, he just hung up.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with British Gas Boiler Services, trying to tell me about some free parts or whatever. When I told her I handle everything through my online account, she just ended the call on me. Bit weird.British GasBoiler Services3 yearsThis number, 01970629940, is a right pain and seems to be some sort of risky scam call. Stay clear!3 yearsI got a phone call from someone saying they were with British Gas, but it felt a bit dodgy from the start, so I just hung up.British Gas3 yearsThey didn’t say a word, just cut the call straight away.3 yearsThis number called me a couple of times, so I’ve just blocked it now.3 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but they didn’t bother leaving a message on my voicemail.3 yearsGot a call from someone who said they were from an appliance insurance company. I told them straight away that I don’t have any cover and I’m not interested in getting any. Then I just said goodbye and ended the call.3 yearsLooks like a phishing scam, best to just block and delete without picking up.3 yearsGot a couple of calls from this number, so I finally picked up. The lady on the other end wanted to talk to someone with a certain surname, but I didn’t confirm anything and told her it would depend who was asking. She then gave me a bit of a lecture about being polite before hanging up. A couple of hours later, she rang back but I ignored it. She spoke with a strong Indian accent - seemed like a classic scam trying to get personal details.3 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming she was from some company named UK Now. She spoke with an Indian accent and even knew my name, which was a bit suspicious. She said she was checking to confirm my address and then mentioned an old address of mine. I told her that was no longer where I live but didn't feel comfortable sharing my current details. She cut the call right away after that. Looks like they were probably fishing for info to pass on or sell to others updating their records. I’d steer clear of them.UK Now3 yearsThese people keep ringing me, obviously a call centre scam, it's so annoying!!Dodgy3 yearsGot a call about 8.15 in the mornin, sounded like it was from some sort of call centre - you could hear loads of chatter in the background. The person had a really thick accent and I couldn’t make out a word they were sayin. Asked them to say it again and they just hung up. Tried looking up the number but no business details showed up, so my guess is its one of those calls where they’re just checking if people pick up unknown numbers, not really a scam or phishing thing. Still, it didn’t feel proper or anything.Submit Your Own Report (01970 629940)
