This number pretended to be British Gas, asking for payment. Do not trust it!

Have received a text from this number. Fairly obvious it's a scam. But now checking Credit Karma a debt to Britis Gas has appeared on my account. Can a scammer do this? Clearly it could seriously affect my credit score.

This is a real British Gas number I spoke to an agent on live chat via the app and online on British Gas website who both confirmed it is truly a BG number as I was worried after seeing these comments

Got a text from this number claiming to be British Gas. They asked for my card details, definitely a scam.

Got a weird text from this number saying I owe British Gas. I don't even use British Gas! Must be a scam.

LOL, these guys can't be for real. British Gas demanding money through a dodgy text? Yeah, right.

This number texted me for a supposed unpaid British Gas bill. Called BG and was informed it isn't their number. Be on alert!

It's not British gas but they have stolen customers information from British gas or British gas has sold customers information

They sent a message insisting I owed money to British Gas. I contacted BG directly, and they confirmed it was a scam.

It's concerning that this number comes up as British Gas. After checking, I found out it's a scam caller.

I received a call saying I had an overdue bill with British Gas but when I called the official BG number, they had no record of it.

Be careful they got me and I stupidly followed the link and paid. They obviously think "great we got a mug on the line" as I'm now getting even more demands for unpaid gas, really annoyed with myself as normally so careful :-(
