British Gas wanting to review your bill and make promotional offers to switch providers. They are calling my work place so this is not possible. Giant waste of time with this call.

Claimed to be from British Gas, but I am not with British gas and my number is with the EX directory. Are these crank callers or some sort of phishing scam for identity theft? Sounded like a call centre.

British Gas calling to get me to return to them after I left years ago with the price hikes. Just an attempt to get you switch suppliers. They make these kinds of calls a lot. Often they do it to lock you into price contracts before prices drop so you are stuck paying a higher rate.

"British Gas" calling to inform me that am being called because I filled out an online survey form. I don't recall doing that at all. Wrong number perhaps??

This is "British Gas" calling to get me to switch suppliers by offering rates I can refuse. The gimmick these use is to tell you that you won a competition prize contest with them that they automatically entered your name into. Don't believe a word I heard. Funny part is I don't even have gas in the region I am in so I had to laugh the guy. I hung up.

2 calls from this number. Both times no one spoke and call eventually terminated. British Gas should be ashamed.

The caller claimed to be from "British Gas" and was informing me that I had won a competition from filling out an online form. I don't remember filling out any forms so I think this call is suspicious and should be ignore by all. Unless someone is filling out forms in my name of which I have no control over.

This is British gas calling for promotional or sales purposes. Whether or not they lie to you about having gotten you number from an online form you can just just opt-out of the calls if you wish by calling 0800 072 4150. Done. You're welcome. Go back to bed or dinner.

Just called by this number, a lady with a Birminghamish accent asked 'Is this Mr....?) and when I said it was, hung up. Could hear noise in background as if in call centre. Very suspicious.

After missing these calls for about 2 weeks, I picked up today and sure enough it was British Gas. They claim I filled in an Emma's Diary (pregnancy-related marketing) survey and wanted a comparison.

I did join ED but definitely didn't fill in a survey. When I said I wasn't interested they tried to do the comparison anyway until I put the phone down!

Be aware when joining schemes like ED (and Bounty) - the freebies are nice but they don't care who gets your details!

I think I may have been called as I entered a competition and was asked on-line which energy supplier I use. I guess I've opened myself up to competitors!!! Note to self.... DO NOT ENTER COMPETITIONS!!!!

Never answer calls from unrecognised numbers. If someone wants to speak to me legitimately they will leave me a voicemail. No message left from thus number so googled the number to see who was calling. Cannot confirm if it was British Gas but number matches

Got a call from these guys today. Claims to be British gas. I am with another supplier so I said I am not with them and put the phone down. What's interesting is, they knew my first and my last name%u2026 And of course my phone number.
I will not answer calls from withheld numbers or numbers I do not know from here on. British gashgg

Answered call on business line, and a recorded voice said 'this is British Gas please press any key'. I accidentally press a key whilst putting the phone down, and it started ringing - but nobody answered it. So I checked I had not been charged for the call and put a block on the number.
