2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas about a problem with my electricity meter. Told them I wasn’t actually a British Gas customer and they kept switching up their story. Just sounded fishy all the way through. Best to steer clear and definitely don’t share any details.British Gas2 yearsReceived a call earlier from someone saying they were with EDF Energy and that there was an issue with our meter.EDF Energy3 yearsSomebody called saying they were from British Gas and that there was an issue with my electricity bill being incorrect.British Gas8 yearsGot two calls from this number too, and I reckon it’s the same HMRC scam, also seen it from +20 800 287 67.HMRC8 yearsI got a call from 02392160245, a bloke who said he was Dennis Gray from HMRC. Left a voicemail saying there’s some urgent matter I need to sort out, and if neither me nor my lawyer get back to him within 24 hours, I’d be in serious trouble. Weirdly, he finished the message with “take care of yourself,” which was a bit odd given the whole threatening tone!Dennis GrayHMRC8 yearsToday I received a couple of automated calls from this number, both with identical messages like the ones mentioned here.
