AI Summary
Based on 2 community reports
This London number, operated by Six Degrees Technology Group, is reportedly being used to impersonate British Gas. Multiple reports describe callers claiming to be from British Gas, which is a classic impersonation tactic used by scammers. The reports, while limited in volume, have been flagged as suspicious by users who've blocked the number.
Impersonating well-known utility companies is a common scam strategy designed to build trust quickly and pressure you into providing personal information or making payments. Legitimate British Gas will never cold-call you demanding immediate action or payment details. If you receive a call from this number, hang up and contact British Gas directly using the number on your bill or their official website to verify any claims about your account.

It does not prove that the registered owner of the number made the call or text. Community reports describe individual experiences and are not official confirmation of a scam.

Safety score
2 reportsHow this score was worked out
Each report rates the number as safe, unknown, suspicious or spam. The score blends those ratings and weighs what each report describes, so a clear scam counts for more than a missed call. Each person counts once, a few negative reports are held closer to neutral until more arrive, and a number only reaches high risk once several people independently agree. Feedback votes on reports can also influence it slightly. Scores of 70% and above count as high risk, 40% to 69% as medium, and below 40% as low; a low-risk number reads Maybe Safe once someone reports it as safe, and Safe once three people have.
