Phone number ☎️ 07488865168 👆 is reported as a suspicious mobile number sending texts claiming to be from British Gas about faulty or end-of-life gas and electricity meters, often asking recipients to reply "YES" to book appointments. Many users suspect scams, especially as messages come from non-official mobile numbers and sometimes reference smart meters recipients do not have. Some say they've confirmed with British Gas that the texts are fraudulent, targeting the elderly, while a few mention it could be from third-party services notifying about meter issues. Overall, people urge caution, noting these texts are persistent, can look quite legitimate with personal details, but are widely suspected of being scams or phishing attempts.

2 monthsJust like others, I was worried this message was a scam and ended up deleting it straight away.5 monthsGot a text on my phone saying it was from British Gas. They used my first name and asked me to reply with YES if I wanted to set up an appointment to replace my meter. Felt a bit dodgy so I checked here and turns out it was a scam.British GasYES7 monthsI answered the call first but ended up marking it as spam afterwards.7 monthsGot a call from British Gas about a new gas meter, they said mine’s old and needs replacing soon as it’s close to the end of its lifespan.British Gas7 monthsIt had some details and dates, so I’m a bit unsure if it’s legit. I decided to just delete it to be on the safe side though.8 monthsI got a message and rang BG to check, and they told me it was a total scam. Makes me curious what’d go down if someone actually booked a slot. Seems like they’re just targeting older folks.BG8 monthsGot a text off 07488865168, and somehow they knew my first name! They said the National Grid passed on my number and that my gas meter’s about to expire. They asked me to reply YES to set up a visit. Pretty sure it's a scam.8 monthsGot a dodgy text supposedly from British Gas about switching my meter. Don’t fall for it, it’s definitely a scam. Just ignore those messages!British Gas8 monthsGot calls saying I owed money to British Gas, but it’s just a scam. Don’t fall for it!British Gas8 monthsGot a dodgy text saying it’s British Gas asking me to reply with "Yes" just to fix up an appointment for changing my electricity meter. They said it was some kind of "regulatory requirement" but it felt off to me.British GasYes8 monthsGot a call about my meter needing to be changed because it was supposedly at the end of its life. The meter is pretty old, so I almost believed it, but the fact they called from a mobile number made me wary.8 monthsThis scam is still going about. They actually nailed my postcode in Glasgow correctly.Glasgow8 monthsJust got a message claiming to be from British Gas saying they need to swap out my electricity meter. Didn’t reply at all and ended up deleting it straight away. Same as others have mentioned here.British Gas8 monthsI keep messaging this elderly lady I know, warning her it's all a scam and to just ignore and delete the messages.8 monthsThey sent me a text saying to give them a ring about changing my gas meter. Claimed they were from British Gas.British Gas8 monthsGot a message saying my meter requires changing and it’s from “British Gas.” Totally a con, so I just blocked the number and wiped the message.British Gas9 monthsLoads of messages are coming through saying my smart meter's not working right and it’s not sending readings. They keep asking to book a time to come and fix it. The thing is, I don’t even have a smart meter installed!9 monthsThey've called me for the third time now, and I just told them my smart meter’s already been inspected.9 monthsGot a dodgy text about an issue with my smart meter, but I don’t even have one. Also, British Gas wouldn’t be texting me from a mobile number like that. Definitely a scam.British Gas10 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas asking for my meter readings again. I had already sent them last week without any issues. Took a look at my BG account and everything shows up fine there. Definitely a dodgy number trying to scam people.British GasBG10 monthsGot a message from this number earlier today.10 monthsGot a text saying it was from British Gas about an issue with my smart meter not sending readings properly, but it felt a bit dodgy to me?British Gas10 monthsGot a text claiming it's from British Gas saying my electric meter's broken and needs to be swapped out. Had the National Grid check it and they said everything's fine, so this has gotta be a scam.British GasNational Grid10 monthsTried to ask my mum about some smart meter thing, but she doesn't even have one. The caller started acting all dodgy and pretended to not hear us when we questioned them. Total scam for sure. Anyone defending this number is probably the scammer themselves.11 monthsGot a dodgy txt from someone claiming to be British Gas about a broken smart meter, probs a scam.British Gas11 monthstotal con job, be careful!11 monthsGot a text from 07488865168 saying it’s from zbritish gad, asking me to confirm an engineer visit with a Yes or to change the date. I’ve already confirmed the appointment through email, which is how I asked them to reach me. It’s prolly real but I don’t know the number, so I’m not replying to texts from unknown contacts.11 monthsReceived a text about an issue with my Smart Meter, but the thing is, I don’t even own one!!! Pretty obvious it’s a SCAM.12 monthsSent me mam a text sayin her smart meter from British Gas had stopped working and to reply yes. Felt a bit dodgy as the number didn’t look like it was from British Gas and her meter was working alright anyway. Told all me family and mates to watch out for this and that number.British Gas12 monthsTurns out this is a British Gas contact, and they actually sent the appointment info through email.British Gas12 monthsGot a message about issues with my smart meter... asked me to reply yes... defo a scam, no chance!1 yearsomeone just called saying my smart meter has an issue or something1 yearGot a text like that too, claiming to be from British Gas, saying there’s an issue with my smart meter readings not coming through. It asked me to reply YES to set up an engineer visit. Felt a bit off, so I’m really pleased I looked up the number here first.British GasYES1 yearJust wanted to add on from my last comment, I've contacted British Gas myself and apparently there's some issue with my meter readings. The person I spoke to mentioned that the number I got a message from is actually a third party that deals with alerts about smart meter problems. So, it might not be a scam like I first thought. I'd suggest ringing British Gas directly instead of replying to the text you get.British Gas1 yearThat number is definitely from BG. They also sent an email afterwards to confirm the appointment.BG1 yearI’m not really familiar with numbers that begin with +44. No idea who Ziron Ltd is. They say they’re from British Gas, but I’m not convinced. Definitely not replying.Ziron LtdBritish Gas1 yearGot a text saying it was from British Gas, but the number was just a normal mobile one, not like the official numbers you find on their site. Bit suspicious if you ask me.British Gas1 yearGot a text from them and I replied yes, but I don’t get why they’d wanna get in touch after that. I’m done talking to whoever this is. Honestly, I shouldn’t have even responded. If this is British Gas, they should let us know beforehand that they deal with third parties. Feels like British Gas is overstepping. They know loads of people get scammed, so they can’t be oblivious. So yeah, if this really is British Gas, come after me then.British Gas1 yearI got a third text telling me my smart meter needs an inspection and to arrange a time with them, but the message came from a private number with no mention of British Gas anywhere. I haven’t received any emails or messages from my actual British Gas account about this. Feels like a scam to me, so I’d just ignore it. Seems dodgy and not legit at all.British Gas1 yearGot a text claiming to be from British Gas telling me to reply ‘yes’. Bit suspicious since why would a proper company message you from a random mobile number? Real messages from British Gas always show up as BG Energy or something official. I’m not convinced this is genuine, even though some review says it’s alright - I reckon they might’ve just posted that themselves.British GasBG Energy1 yearGot a message sayin there’s a problem with my Smart Meter and to text YES to set up a visit. Checked through the British Gas app chat just to be sure it was genuine.YESBritish Gas1 yearGot a message supposedly from British Gas saying there’s an issue with our smart meter’s readings. Not sure if it’s for real or some kind of scam.British GasSubmit Your Own Report (07488 865168)
