Please see previous emails. Claiming to be from British Gas - David - regarding the meter. Yesterday rang from a different number 0163 498 248. Rude and persistent. This has been reported to British Gas, as predicted they advised not to give any information as both numbers are not related to BG.

scammer asking for invoice details

User reported 0131 618 8226 as Harassing

These people keep calling us. They saying from British Gas and want me to say what is on my most recent invoice. Like why and like no ways. Block them if you can. I told them that they are a spam call and funny enough they put the phone down. British Gas would not do that would they?

Same as many of the other comments. They claimed to be from British Gas and seemed to know all our details but when I contacted BG afterwards they had no note on file of any calls having been recently made to us. Clearly scam but for what purpose I have no idea?
