Pretty obvious it was a scam since I don’t even have a smart meter installed!British Gas3 yearsI received a recorded message saying, "This is British Gas concerning your smart meter upgrade; please press 1 to proceed." I ended the call right then and there. We haven't expressed any desire for a smart meter, nor have we ever asked for one. Honestly, I'm rather sceptical that this call genuinely came from British Gas.British Gas3 yearsGot a voicemail from someone claiming to be British Gas about setting up a smart meter. I never arranged anything like that and really don’t want one installed either. Very suspicious.British Gas3 yearsGot a call supposedly from British Gas saying they wanted to upgrade my smart meter, but I don’t even have one.

When I entered the number on your site, it identified itself as Dilaps UK, which apparently offers assessments and claims for property owners.

Quite confusing, to say the least!Dilaps UKBritish Gas4 yearsGot a call from British Gas, sounded like an automated voice telling me to press 1 for some sort of message. Number showed up as BLOCKED.

Feels dodgy to me.British Gas6 yearsGot a call early Sunday, 8:51am, from what sounded like Scottish Gas with a recorded message about a smart meter fitting next week, asking me to press one. I did, but as soon as I did, the call just dropped. Why would they even ring on a Sunday? Tried calling their installation line later, but it was closed. I even looked over my phone account just to see if any strange charges had popped up. Feels like maybe they were testing something or getting ready for future scams?
