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.
Difficulty understanding the strong male foreign accent was compounded by background noise
A call was received from this number, but it was abruptly disconnected; meanwhile, emails about smart meter installations have been flooding my inbox, despite my property's metal power cupboard making it impossible to fit one
This morning, I had two calls from this number... there was a lot of background noise, but that’s all I could make out... said hello twice before they hung up.
This number is part of a British Gas SMART meter scam. It’s outrageous and they should be fined a billion pounds.

British Gas is installing smart meters
Fake British Gas representative
Caution advised
The caller claimed to have access to a British Gas database and was able to provide details about my account, including the meter, account holders' names, and address, without me disclosing any information.
Even if the caller claims to be from British Gas, their accent is difficult to understand and they are calling from a busy call center, asking me to install a new meter and referencing issues with my current smart meter, which I do not have, and they seem to have access to my name and postcode, which is publicly available, so I would prefer it if they contacted me via email.
Within 24 hours, I received three calls from this number on my landline
Scam alert
Suspicion arose when I received two calls on my mobile from a person claiming to be from British Gas, who knew my wife's name and her status as the account holder, but the poor connection quality raised my doubts, and when I asked for verification, the caller abruptly ended the call.
I recieve multiple call about smart meter or british gas issue, they try to get my bank detail
