A call claiming to be from British Gas ended abruptly when I informed them I wasn't a customer. This behavior is uncharacteristic of how a reputable company like British Gas should conduct itself.

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.

Silent calls were made for two consecutive days, accompanied by background noise, suggesting these were scam calls.
Unknown caller turned out to be a scammer – they asked for personal details straight away.
This number is reportedly associated with British gas smart meter services.
When British Gas asked if I wanted a smart meter as part of an area upgrade, I mentioned the Telephone Preference Service and hung up.
Several calls this week have urged a smart‑meter installation even after I made it clear I don’t want one. I’ve lodged a complaint with British Gas; such persistent, harassing calls are unacceptable.

Although my phone did not ring, I received a voicemail notification, and upon listening, I only heard background noise. Since the call was made to a number registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I will be blocking this number to prevent further disturbances.

The call was initially silent, then a female voice came on with loud music in the background, addressing me by name and referencing my street, attempting to persuade me to install a smart meter; the unprofessional approach suggested a scam.

Negative experience with number
Having recieved my 10th call from this number, i've noticed that most of them are completly silent, however, this last one was from someone claiming to be from British Gas, insisting that i must instal a smart meter.
British Gas cold call was surprisingly pushy, felt more like a hard sell than help.
