If you see a repeated spelling mistake, it’s definitely a scammer. If they say “ Screanshot when you send money” it’s definitely a scam. If you’ve just been scammed, contact your bank immediately to prevent any more money from leaving your bank. Never ever trust anyone, even real companies with reading out “one off passcode” to them. It’s always a scam.
This is a real british gas number. But scammers can fake a number to show on your phone as if they are calling from british gas. I always call the numbers that i know and do not answers calls from them because i do not know if the call is genuine or not
I got a call from that number, the person say I am calling from British gas, then I matched the number with British gas bill then i trust them they give me better deals, and they also resolve my meter issue thanks

Indian Scammer who knew the name of our electricity provider and tried to get our meter reading, meter serial number, full names and details to secretly poach us and sign us up to contracts with them without us knowing. If we believed them we could have been in trouble! When I did 1471 and called the number it was british gas but don't know if it's really them.
I just received a call from it. We had customers at that moment so I was not able to talk to the Indian scammer too much. He called me back immediately when I handed off the telephone. He was very angry and rude to complain to me but we were so busy even I felt sorry to hand over his call, I just apologized and had to cut off the phone. When I am free now I try to call British gas back and search the telephone number on my phone, just seeing all the comments from here. I am not guilty now for
This is definitely scammers. Just eat had their number hacked so I got a call supposedly from them (I have a cafe listed with just eat) I was scammed into sending a utility bill via whatsApp and 10 min later I had a call from this number claiming to be from british gas. He quoted my account number but when I queried it he got defensive and hung up
The frustration is that the person from India call centre do read off scripts and have no idea how to deal with unique situations - they are purely script readers. The number is valid as British Gas as it apears on their bills that are sent out as well as their website - they are just woeful at dealing with individual situations that are not on their script
Someone supposedly from British Gas stating the tenancy address from another division of our company is still active. That address was closed around 5 years ago. He asked us to call the Change of Tenancy Team with a reference of 03301000222. His English was not great and sounded like he was checking a script!
