1 yearGot a text from Severn Trent thanking me for reporting a problem I never even mentioned. Bit strange, really.SevernTrent2 yearsTotal rip-off, watch out!2 yearsGot a message on my phone saying my daughter’s smart meter was out of credit, and it had a number to ring back. I’ve got her gas and electric details linked up on my phone through the app, so I thought it might be legit. She’s a single mum and sometimes her credit runs out, so this seemed like a helpful alert. But after I looked into it more, I’m convinced it’s a con - definitely don’t call that number. I’m from Leicester myself.Leicester2 yearsGot a text from someone claiming to be British Gas, asking about my top-up details. Suspicious if you ask me.British Gas2 yearsGot a text from someone pretending to be British Gas. It included a link, but there were spelling errors, especially with my last name being wrong.

Best to just delete it straight away.British Gas4 yearsI got a call from Rapidcare Medical Supplies, not a scam or anything, but it sounded like a number put through by a computer system.4 yearsBeware of a scam pretending to be from British Gas calling themselves the "Returned Mail Team".

It needs a massive group effort.4 years“Received a message supposedly from British Gas.
