10 yearsReceived a third call earlier on but there was no message left. Quite perplexing, especially since we’re already existing customers of BG, are we not?!BG10 yearsIt's British Gas again, this is the third time they've called me in just a week! When I try to return the call, they claim it's nothing urgent. I reckon they're trying to persuade me to switch my supplier to them. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!British Gas10 yearsIt's British Gas on the line. What a right nuisance they are! They just seem to be hell-bent on trying to convince you to switch your energy supplier. We made it crystal clear that we weren't interested and told them to "leave us be" in rather strong terms. They haven't bothered us since!British Gas10 yearsWe’ve been bombarded with calls on our mobile - probably around fifteen in the last month alone! Since stumbling upon these discussions, we've decided to simply disregard any calls from this number as soon as it pops up. It was quite irritating at first, but interestingly enough, they never seem to contact our landline, so clearly, they haven’t got hold of that number yet.10 yearsOur workplace provides each employee with a mobile phone that solely allows outgoing calls to numbers related to our sector (nationwide in the UK). We can receive text messages from our headquarters, but we aren’t able to send any texts ourselves, and we can receive calls from any number. These phones were issued through our Vodafone contract, which covers around 60 devices scattered across the country. It stands to reason that Vodafone has possibly shared our number with British Gas, given that the call was supposedly from them. However, could it be that these individuals are merely calling random mobile numbers starting with 07?UKVodafoneBritish Gas11 yearsBritish Gas can be quite the nuisance and frequently utilise those 0800 numbers that seem to ring forever. The smartest move is to block that number on your device. Reach out to your phone company for assistance. If those calls keep coming, take it up with Ofcom, the regulator for telecommunications. You can easily file a complaint via email. If enough people raise their voices, those fines can really pile up for BG!British GasOfcom11 yearsIs there anyone who can identify this caller? It’s the usual scenario where they never leave a message and just keep ringing incessantly. Quite the nuisance, really!11 yearsIt seems that British Gas is at it again, pushing you to switch providers. We received yet another call from them the other day. Honestly, they’re becoming a right nuisance with their relentless pestering!British Gas11 yearsIf you pick up the phone, they just cut off the call!11 yearsI shouted “go away” down the phone with all my might!11 yearsAbout a year ago, I moved on from BG, but it seems I've become a target for relentless calls from 0800 9806929, ringing me nearly every single day. Initially, I answered the phone a few times, only to be met with silence before they abruptly hung up. I quickly wised up and now just ignore the calls, even going so far as to label them ‘Telepest’ in my contacts and block the number. Strangely enough, I've also started receiving letters from BG which don’t mention any outstanding payments, but rather ask me about my payment method. It’s baffling, as I don’t owe them a penny - in fact, they should be grateful to me after refunding my credit last year. I’ve decided it's high time to lodge an official complaint about this situation.BG11 yearsCalled and then promptly hung up.11 yearsIndeed, I received a trio of calls today. Quite often, they're searching for someone named Mrs... On two occasions, my partner and I answered the phone only to be met with silence. It lingered for about a minute, then they repeated their quest for Mrs... Honestly, British Gas, sort yourselves out! It's peculiar considering I'm on an X list...British Gas11 yearsI keep getting messages from this number, and it's becoming rather bothersome. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can put a stop to this?11 yearsAfter doing some sleuthing online, we’ve discovered that this number belongs to British Gas. We’re currently grappling with the same issue.British Gas12 yearsI received a query from some individuals inquiring about me, David Cooper. Just to clarify, I'm still with TalkTalk and won’t be transitioning to British Gas until April 2011. Our current employers have been rather heavily scrutinised by the regulators due to their dreadful billing practices, which often lead to a multitude of mistakes on invoices.David CooperTalkTalkBritish Gas12 yearsI rang British Gas to check on this number after receiving a call. They assured me that it isn’t one of theirs and advised against sharing any details with the caller. It certainly feels like a scam! I frequently encounter all sorts of dubious callers throughout the day, all trying to fish for my personal info or sell me something. They receive the same firm reply from me every time. Cold callers? Don’t trust them an inch!British Gas12 yearsIs anyone else being inundated with calls from British Gas on 08009806929? I seem to be receiving a minimum of three calls a day from them... I’m seriously considering sending a formal complaint to the Chairman!British Gas12 yearsI just received a call from this number, and the callers were asking for someone named Mrs. Cooper. I informed them that they had the wrong number. Then they went on to inquire whether I’m the one responsible for the bills at this address. I explained to them that it really didn’t matter who pays the bills, as they were clearly in search of Mrs. Cooper and not me!Cooper12 yearsDealing with British Gas can be a right nuisance, couldn’t agree more! They have a habit of using those 0800 toll-free numbers, which adds to the frustration. I’d recommend simply blocking the number on your phone to avoid the hassle. If they’re still bothering you, reach out to your phone provider for assistance. Should those calls persist, it’s worth reporting the issue to Ofcom, the telecommunications regulator. You can easily do so via email online. If they receive enough complaints, British Gas could find themselves facing a substantial fine!British GasOfcom12 yearsWe've been getting calls from this number non-stop, but as soon as we pick up, all we catch is some chatter in the distance before the line goes silent. It’s become quite the bother, to be honest!12 yearsWhy on earth is British Gas contacting us about something that’s clearly not urgent? I'm baffled as to how they've even obtained our work number! They really shouldn't be sharing that kind of info. Quite puzzling, if you ask me!British Gas12 yearsI heard back from British Gas yet again about my concerns over the persistent calls from this number. They've reiterated that this is definitely NOT one of their contact numbers and have escalated the matter to their fraud department for further investigation.British Gas12 yearsHaha! Just had a ring from these clowns on my mobile. They wanted to know when we’d be switching providers. I responded with a cheeky, “Of course! I’m currently in Spain. Is that something you can handle?”HahaSpain12 yearsWe keep getting calls from this number, but they never leave a message. Does anyone have a clue who it might be?14 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number, and it turns out it's linked to British Gas. They seem to be rather elusive with their responses. I've gone ahead and made a formal complaint to British Gas about it.British Gas14 yearsDear Sir or Madam, I received a rather concerning phone call from this number at precisely 5:15 pm on the 6th of August 2012, and there have been previous calls too. The caller was inquiring about Mr. A, who happens to be my ex-husband, yet I have no ongoing association with him whatsoever. It appears that he may be using my name and phone number for fraudulent purposes. I’d like to clarify that I haven’t resided in Birmingham since 2007. Could you please inform me if there are any issues linked to my name or elaborate on the purpose of the calls to my number? I am keen to put an end to this and take appropriate measures to prevent any further contact. I would appreciate it if you could direct this message to the relevant department. Additionally, I would be grateful for any guidance on how to proceed in this situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
