Users report receiving repeated messages requesting meter readings or personal details, sometimes with links directing to unofficial sites.

2 yearsI'm pretty sure it's dodgy. Got a message from this number with a link to some 'brunch menu' but no mention of the place. Total fishy move if you ask me.2 yearsI got a message from this number claiming to be Tenants Advice, but it’s obviously fake. They even put the real Tenants Advice phone number in the text to trick you. Total scam, best to ignore and not respond.Tenants Advice3 yearsJust got a call from "British Gas" saying, "Hello Mr W S Reid"... which isn't me at all. They've got the wrong person and there's no way they should have my mobile number. They want me to ring an 03332 number if I'm struggling to pay. Got texts from them on 14th Nov and another on 27th Dec. Bit odd, honestly.British GasW S Reid3 yearsGot loads of texts from someone saying they’re from British Gas asking for a meter reading. Not sure if it’s legit, but I’ve never been with British Gas at this address so I just ignored them. Didn’t feel right responding.British Gas3 yearsGot a dodgy text from someone pretending to be British Gas, asking me for money. Looks like a proper scam to me!British Gas3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be British Gas, then right after they mentioned G2499. I googled that code and found loads of posts saying it’s a scam. It’s really upsetting, especially for an elderly lady like me in my 80s.British Gas3 years+447786200698 Called claiming to be from British Gas, asking for my gas and electric meter readings. I actually got a text from “British Gas” earlier too, but I’m not a customer of theirs at all. Pretty sure this was just a scam.British Gas4 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number with a message like: “BOILER IQ ALERT: Your Boiler IQ appears disconnected so we're unable to track your boiler. To resolve, ring 0333 202 9621 or hang tight and we’ll contact you. Calls won’t exceed standard 01/02 rates.” After checking out some earlier posts, I reckon it’s dodgy. I’ve blocked the number and chucked the message after dropping a note here.4 yearsGot a text saying British Gas couldn’t get hold of me, and apparently their letter got sent back. Weird timing since I was actually expecting to hear from them. I always look into new numbers that pop up and, wouldn’t you know it, this one’s already been marked suspicious.British Gas4 yearsI've received a couple of messages claiming to be from the British Gas Returned Mail Team, informing me that they've attempted to send letters about my account. Apparently, Royal Mail has bounced them back. They've now requested that I respond via message with an address I prefer for future correspondence. Quite curious, isn't it?British Gas Returned Mail TeamRoyal Mail4 yearsGot a message saying it's from British Gas, but since they don't have my mobile number registered, I reckon it's a scam. Also, I already gave my meter readings a couple of days ago. I'm based down here in Cornwall.British GasCornwall4 yearsMy mum got a phone call from BG on 07786200698 telling her that I'd be sent another number to send meter readings to. She ended up texting them the readings as requested. After looking into it, we realised it was a scam, so we told her to block the number and just not answer if they ring back. We’ve now put the actual readings in through the official BG website ourselves.BG4 yearsGot a message out of the blue asking for my gas and electric meter readings, which struck me as odd since British Gas usually don't text me, plus the account's under my wife's name. Then I got another text also claiming to be from British Gas saying I'd be contacted from a different number to give my readings and to "keep calm, it’s us". But why would they not just send the original request from the same number? Seems fishy to me, both messages might be part of some scam.British Gas4 yearsReceived a call claiming to be from British Gas, requesting a meter reading ahead of the 1st of October. Honestly, it was so poorly executed, it was laughable. Just brushed it off.British Gas4 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from Oxford City Council inquiring about the housing register. I reached out to the council directly, but they had no record of such a call.Oxford City Council4 yearsGot a text saying it was from British Gas asking for my meter reading, but I’m not sure if it’s legit or just a scam.British Gas4 yearsGot a call from 07786200698 saying they were from British Gas and needed my electric meter reading because their system was supposedly down. They didn’t ask for my gas reading though, which seemed odd. After checking this site, I figured it was a scam. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for any more calls or texts from this number!British Gas4 yearsToday I got texts from "British Gas" as well, but after checking this site, it looks like that number has popped up before in scams linked to different businesses. Seems like it's been used for various dodgy calls over time.British Gas4 yearsGot a text pretending to be from British Gas, but it’s a total scam. I’ve never seen a genuine message that isn’t clearly tagged from British Gas themselves. Plus, the wording was a bit off, not how they usually write. The message said something like: “From British Gas. To make sure your usage is billed correctly before any tariff changes, please send a meter reading for gas and electric like this: G1234 or G12345 E12345. Cheers, the British Gas team.” Felt dodgy right away.British Gas4 yearsBritish Gas themselves have confirmed this is for real, so it’s definitely legit.British Gas4 yearsReceived a text that looked really legit, saying I needed to click a link to put in my gas meter readings before some price changes kick in. Honestly, it's worrying to think how many folks might get caught out by this trick. I'm actually sending my reading through the official website since this number doesn’t match the one I have for British Gas. Definitely don’t reply or click anything if you get this - it seems dodgy to me.British Gas4 yearsGot a call from British Gas today, they wanted me to give them my meter readings. Seems like they’re doing the usual check-in. Bit annoying but it’s to be expected, I suppose.British Gas4 yearsGot a dodgy text claiming to be from British Gas, definitely a scam.British Gas4 yearsGot a message claiming to be from British Gas, asking me to send in a gas meter reading in a format like G1234 or G12345 to ensure correct billing before prices go up. Sounded dodgy from the start, so I ignored it. Pretty sure it’s just another scam going around.British Gas4 yearsJust got told by someone senior in the complaints team that this number is legit. They're asking customers to send in their readings because the website isn’t working properly at the moment.4 yearsGot a text looking like it was from British Gas asking for my gas and electric meter readings. Usually, they text from a short 5-digit number starting with 8**** though, which made me suspicious. So, instead of replying to the message, I went and put my readings in through their website. The site was quite slow, probably because loads of people are doing it today after Martin Lewis mentioned it!British GasMartin LewisMartin4 yearsIn the past five minutes, I got a couple of dodgy texts claiming to be from British Gas. Weirdly enough, they actually jogged my memory to submit my meter readings the proper way today. Cheers to those scammers for the unexpected reminder!British Gas4 yearsJust got a text claiming to be British Gas asking me to send over my electric and gas meter readings before some price update. The number looked like a normal mobile, but after checking here and seeing other people's comments, I'm pretty sure this isn’t a legit message from British Gas at all!British Gas4 yearsI got a message asking for meter readings but the number wasn’t the one British Gas usually uses to get in touch with me (that one’s legit).British Gas4 yearsThis has to be a scam, for sure. I got a text saying to send over my gas and electric meter readings, but British Gas never actually asked me for anything like that. Definitely don’t trust it!British Gas4 yearsGot a text from British Gas asking for my meter reading, thought it was legit so I replied. Glad to have the number now to double-check next time!British Gas4 yearsGot a call today at 12.15pm from 07786200698 claiming to be British Gas asking for my meter readings. They wanted me to send them like G1234 or G12345 for gas and E12345 for electricity before some price update. Reading the other comments, I’m not convinced it’s legit - looks like a bit of a scam to me. Better be careful, folks!British Gas4 yearsGot a message claiming to be from British Gas, but I’m pretty sure it was a scam.British Gas4 yearsOn 31st March 2022 I got a message from 07786 200698 asking me to send back my electricity meter reading like €12345 or d12345 if I have a two-rate meter. The message said it was from British Gas and they needed the info to bill me correctly before prices change. After checking out some reviews for this number, I reckon it's a scam, so best to just ignore it.British Gas4 yearsI received a voicemail on my mobile from this number, claiming to be British Gas. They urged me to submit a meter reading to avoid being hit with additional charges due to the impending gas price hike on 1 April. Quite amusing, really! I have a fixed rate until the end of April, which makes me quite dubious about the legitimacy of their message.British Gas4 yearsGot a message claiming to be British Gas, but the number was different from the one I got last time. Pretty sure it’s a #Scam.British Gas4 yearsAfter I said no to some life insurance people from Freedom to Insure, this number messaged me out of the blue. They wanted me to share my bank details like sort code and account number, which I obviously didn’t do. Then they sent another text that had a link, maybe asking for a Trustpilot review or something, but I just got rid of the whole message without clicking on anything.Freedom to Insure5 yearsGot a call from this number on my phone and I didn’t have a clue who it was. Might be British Gas since I’ve been dealing with them lately, but it seemed odd for them to ring me in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. The call didn’t last at all, and no voicemail or explanation was left. Because of that, I’m thinking this was just one of those text scams people warn about.British Gas5 yearsI got a message from this number from freedom to insure after I’d already had a chat with them over the phone.FreedomInsure5 yearsI got a message just like the one someone posted on 19/02/21, supposedly from British Gas’s returned mail department. It said they tried sending a letter about my account but Royal Mail sent it back to them. They wanted me to reply with my correct address. They also said if I’d already contacted them in the last 24 hours, I could ignore it. I’d actually been chatting with them on my personal phone about something work-related, so thought about checking it out. But after reading what’s on this site, I’m just gonna ignore it!British GasRoyal Mail5 yearsI've had contact with British Gas before, but never through my mobile phone. This week alone, my mobile's been hit by two scam messages. I'd never gotten any unexpected calls or texts on this number until now. I've reported both incidents to my energy supplier. One of the messages said something like: "from british gas returned mail team. we tried to send you a letter about your account but royal mail sent it back to us. please reply with the correct address. if you've already contacted us in the past day about this, just ignore this message."British GasRoyal Mail6 yearsGot a text about cancelling my British Gas boiler service for £65 cause they’re supposed to be super busy. My mum nearly fell for it but luckily I double checked the number first.6 yearsJust received a message promoting next-day delivery for personal protective equipment along with complimentary face masks. However, given that PPE is in such limited supply, I can’t help but wonder how they intend to fulfil this promise so swiftly. Best to steer clear, if you ask me!7 yearsJust got a message from this number saying something about “see clearly in 2020 without specs! Book a free consultation with Optegra and learn how laser eye surgery might help you”. They told me to reply with ‘eyes’ to book or ‘stop’ to unsubscribe. Bit annoying, so i blocked it straightaway!Optegra7 yearsJust got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from TalkTalk. Didn’t sound right, so I’ve blocked the number now!TalkTalk8 yearsGot a text saying I owe 494 for some think2claim fee. They want me to pay it by BACS to sort code 16-16-23, account number 14884701. Told me to reply ‘paid it’ once done. Also said if I wanna talk to the payments team I can call, or if I haven’t got my refund yet, they’ll sort it out for me. Bit confusing but that’s the message.BACS8 yearsGot a message saying I needed to log in to watch a video. Seemed a bit dodgy to me, so I didn’t click on anything. Sounds like one of those scams to me.8 yearsThis particular number belongs to the text notification service employed by Futureworks Training Ltd, based in Salford, Manchester.Futureworks Training LtdSalfordManchester8 yearsThey told me they worked for Futureworks, but when I looked up the number online, it was listed in a bunch of scam reports. Definitely seemed dodgy to me.Futureworks8 yearsI keep receiving messages from this number promoting some gym membership.

Makes me quite anxious about what it could possibly be!12 yearsHas anyone got a clue about this number?
