60023 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 60023 👆 is reported as a scam involving fraudulent text messages impersonating British Gas, requesting meter readings with links or reply formats that lead to charges on your mobile account, typically around £4.50. Many recipients, often in the process of switching suppliers or expecting genuine communications, have nearly fallen victim but were alerted by unusual greetings, suspicious links, or their phone provider’s warnings. These messages persist despite reports and forwarding to official anti-scam services. Genuine British Gas communications are unlikely to begin informally or request sensitive information by text without prior verification. Users are advised not to reply or click any links and to verify directly with British Gas through official channels if unsure.

I got a text from British Gas on Friday just like they said they would. They told me this over the phone beforehand, so I don’t reckon this is a scam. The message came from the number 60023.

I've flagged this number loads of times already. It's the same one popping up over and over, so why isn't anything being done? I sent their message over to 7726, but people still keep getting these scam texts. Feels like the Gov.UK folks aren't doing a thing about it.

I’m trying to switch over to British Gas right now, but there’s a hiccup with the switch. I almost responded to a text from this number, but thankfully I checked online to put in my gas meter reading and saw British Gas is having some technical issues currently. This phone number is definitely a SCAM, so don’t message back if you get something from it.

Answered it earlier today, and it’s definitely still ringing.

Got a text saying 'Welcome to British Gas. We're ready to get your first electricity meter reading. Please visit [#]britishgasi###V/omr or reply with: e12345'. It's definitely a scam. I ignored it and just sent it straight away to 7726 instead.

Since I'm in the middle of changing over to British Gas, getting a text like this didn’t really catch me off guard:

"Welcome to BRITISH GAS. We are ready for your first gas meter reading. Please visit http://britishgas.co.uk/omr or reply in this format: G1234/G12345"

Was this close to falling for it though!

Just got a message saying they're ready to take my first gas meter reading from British Gas. The thing is, I'm not even moving to BG until next month, so it's way too soon for that. Plus, I've already got a smart meter, so they should be aware of that. Definitely not replying to that text.

This morning I received a message, and honestly, I’m baffled about how they got my info right before my switch-over day. How do they even manage to get these details exactly when it’s happening?

Got a text claiming to be from British Gas and it kicked off with just “Hi,” which made me a bit suspicious. Since I’m actually in the middle of leaving BG, I wasn’t shocked when they asked for my meter readings, so I sent them my gas and electric numbers like they requested.
But when I tried to send the reply it kept failing to go through.
I decided to Google the number, something like “60 023” and turns out, it’s probably a scam!
I found out the reason my message wasn’t sending is because my phone’s pay-as-you-go, so it wouldn’t charge me anyway - a bit of a learning curve! Should’ve cottoned on that British Gas wouldn’t start a text with just “Hi”.

Even now, on 17th Jan 2020, I'm still getting this. I'm currently trying to switch over to British Gas myself. It would be really useful if they included a warning about this in their Welcome Letter!

They rang me earlier and I nearly replied... don’t do it though, they slap a £4.50 fee on you!

Got a couple of messages earlier claiming to be from British Gas asking for meter readings. My mobile network actually flagged it as likely to cost money, so I didn’t reply. They included a website in the texts, but when I looked it up, it wasn’t a real site. On top of that, my phone company said the link looked unsafe. Just a heads up to be careful with these kinds of texts!

I just got this call and it’s definitely a SCAM, best not to answer back.

Beware, this text isn’t from British Gas at all - they’ll take £4.50 right off your phone bill!

I received that exact text earlier today. Almost responded since I’m just about to switch to BG and was kind of waiting for something like that. Luckily, my phone gave me a heads up that replying might cost me, so I decided to double-check first. Glad I did, honestly...

Hey there. Got this text from British Gas asking for my gas meter reading, and they want it in the style of G1234 or G12345. If you need a hand, looks like they’ve got some info at britishgas.co.uk/meterhelp.

I got a text telling me to send back my electricity reading to British Gas, and it started with just "Hi." Thing is, I don’t even use British Gas for my energy. Would they really just open with "Hi" like that? Seems a bit off to me.
