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.
Reports on phone number 60023
3 yearsI 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.British Gas3 yearsI've flagged this scam repeatedly, yet it seems to persist with the same number resurfacing. What action is being taken regarding this? I sent the message on to 7726, but despite my efforts, folks are still getting hit by this scam text. Honestly, Gov.UK is proving to be quite ineffective in tackling this issue.UK4 yearsI’m currently in the midst of switching my energy provider to British Gas, but I've hit a bit of a snag with the transition. I almost ended up responding to a text message, thinking it was legitimate. However, when I went online to submit my meter reading, it appears that British Gas is experiencing some technical issues at the moment. Just a heads up, this number is definitely a scam, so it’s best to steer clear of replying to it!British Gas5 yearsReceived it this morning. It's still in use.5 yearsGot 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.5 yearsI’ve just made the transition to British Gas, so it came as no shock when I received a text saying, "Greetings from BRITISH GAS! We're all set for your initial gas meter reading. Kindly head to http://britishgas.co.uk/omr or respond with this format: G1234/G12345." Had me second-guessing for a moment!British Gas6 yearsI've just received a message, and seeing as I'm gearing up to relocate to Bulgaria next month, it's rather premature for me to be verifying meter readings. I've got a smart meter installed, which they are fully aware of. The text kicks off with, 'Welcome to BRITISH GAS. We're all set for your initial gas meter reading.' To be honest, I won't be responding to that!BulgariaBRITISH GAS6 yearsI'm quite curious as to how these individuals manage to obtain your information when it's time for you to switch over. I received a message this morning that left me pondering.7 yearsReceived a text that claimed to be from British Gas, starting off with a "Hi," which did raise my eyebrows a bit. Since I'm in the process of leaving BG, I wasn't entirely shocked they requested my meter readings, so I dutifully entered my gas and electricity figures as they asked. However, when I attempted to send my response multiple times, it just wouldn’t go through! Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to Google the number “60 023,” only to discover it’s likely a scam! The reason my reply wouldn’t send is that I’m on a pay-as-you-go plan, so I couldn't incur any charges. You learn something new each day-I should’ve realised that a message starting with “Hi” wasn’t the norm for BG communications!British GasBGGoogle7 yearsIt's the 17th of January, 2020, and I'm still experiencing this issue. I'm currently in the midst of transferring my services to British Gas. I reckon it would have been quite useful if they had included a cautionary note in their Welcome Letter!British Gas7 yearsI got this message earlier today and nearly wrote back. Just a heads up-don’t do it! They’ll hit you with a £4.50 fee!7 yearsI got a couple of messages today claiming to be from British Gas, asking me for my meter readings. My mobile provider cautioned me that responding could lead to extra charges, so I decided against it. They included a website link in the message, which looked rather suspicious. I tried searching for it online, but it seems it doesn’t actually exist. Once more, my phone company flagged that the link was not secure. Just a heads up for everyone!British Gas7 yearsI attempted to get my meter readings sorted out.7 yearsI’ve just had a call from this number, and it’s definitely a con! Avoid responding at all costs!7 yearsReceived a dodgy text that definitely isn't from British Gas - it charges a hefty £4.50 to my mobile account!British Gas7 yearsReceived a similar message today. I was on the verge of responding since I’m transitioning to BG and had anticipated such a thing. Luckily, my phone notified me that it would come with a fee, which prompted me to investigate further. Thank goodness I did!BG7 yearsHello there! Kindly respond to this text from BRITISH GAS by providing your gas meter reading, formatted as follows: G1234 or G12345. For any assistance, feel free to visit britishgas.co.uk/meterhelp.BRITISHGAS8 yearsI received a text that says, "Hello, could you please respond with your electricity meter reading? For assistance, visit britishgas.co.uk/meterhelp." The thing is, I don’t use British Gas as my provider. Is it usual for them to greet individuals with "Hello" when they’re not even customers?. coBritish GasSubmit Your Own Report (60023)
