Expert Opinion
Last Tuesday, dozens of residents flagged calls from +443332029470 that claimed to be from British Gas, often mentioning smart‑meter upgrades or account details. The callers usually know your name and address, yet provide no verification and many remain silent or background‑noisy. Treat any unsolicited request for personal info or payment as suspicious. Hang up, then call British Gas on the number listed on your bill or their official website to confirm. Use your phone’s block feature and report the number to the communications regulator. Consider registering with a call‑screening service to reduce future spam exposure and keep a record of any suspicious interactions.

Looks like the 'urgent smart meter upgrade' crew is back. My meter works fine and I never asked for an upgrade, yet they offered a £50 incentive. Sure, and I'm the Queen – definitely a scam targeting the gullible.
The number is a real pain, calling constantly with no message or any useful voicemail. If it's not important, why bother me so much? Absolutely annoying.
Couldn't make out the caller’s heavy foreign accent.
Attempted fraud involving a smart meter.

My security system identified this number as potentially fraudulent, and I've taken the precaution of blocking it, anticipating they may try again with a different number

I answer the call but nobody was ther, no call back or nothing
I missed the call, but they left a message claiming to be from British Gas, it was automatically generated
As soon as I picked up, the caller hung up. I found it quite impolite. When I called back, the voicemail was from British Gas. I had recently requested a boiler quote from them, so it might be legitimate. However, if this is their standard approach, I won't be doing business with them.
Given that I had requested boiler quotes from British Gas recently, it's likely that this call was legitimate.

There have been two calls from this number, and on both occassions they hung up on me.
A man with poor diction mentioned something about installing a smart meter. He wanted me to schedule a fitting with British Gas. I know that’s not possible in my old house. I’ve had issues with British Gas before, including estimated bills and a meter reader who never showed up. I’m not sure if this was related to the meter reader appointment I’ve been waiting for over two weeks. The previous one never came. I’m also unsure if this call was legitimate or if my computer or their system was hacked.

The purpose of the call is uncertain
Clearly, it must be cold calling from British Gas; they ought to leave a message or know better. I won't pick up numbers that I am not expecting or familiar with.
Scam identified
The purpose of the call is unknown to me as I wasn't available, but it seems like an obvious scam
