This number showed up on my mobile saying they were from British Gas and the call was in reference to the key or card used to pay for gas at the property where I am living I know for a fact we don't have a key or a card, house mate pays online. He wouldn't take no for an answer when I said I don't pay utilities my house mate does. The caller then tried to get info on my house mate. I just hung up in the end.

Usual stupid refund I’m entitled to (rubbish)

Person on the phone was very pushy for who they were talking to when they were told it was the wrong number. They did not give any details of where they were calling from asked they claimed to be from some PCP refund. Felt like they were fishing for details based off of outdated information.

Dude probed on moisture spots indoors then dug for full identity birth year stuff. Clocked the off vibe and cut loose. These info grabs can lead to identity theft if you bite so always verify first and report suspicious pushes to authorities for better protection across the board.
