"Call showed a possible spam on my mobile screen also showed call was from British Gas. Called me everyday for a week. Finally answered call & was told I need my smart meter updating & they'd like to visit my house. I said I don't have a smart meter, please remove my number from their call list. They ignored my requests & call me twice a day."

"Said they were from British Gas calling about unpaid bills. Gave an incorrect address. I said that the fact they were calling from a mobile number worried me so I would call British Gas directly myself. He got very angry, called me names and threatened to send people out to settle the 'debt'"

"Offered fake energy deal Realistic AI voice selling energy renewal saying it was from British Gas. It said it was AI because I asked it. It had fooled mum who took the call on her phone and believed it was real and passed the phone onto me. It was trying to sell an energy deal and said it could put me in touch with a real person. The only give away was that I could still hear it speaking as mum passed the phone to me. It wasn’t aware of the nuances of conversation after being told to ‘hang on a tick while I pass you over’."
