Darth Florist reported number +441317771101 as British Gas, so he said
This sod rang me at about 7.30 to night. I live in Edinburgh, and I thought it was a taxi company (there is a taxi company in Edinburgh, whose number starts 0131-777), but the bloke, with a very pronounced Asian/Indian accent said that he wanted to talk to my wife to discuss her account with them. As I am the account holder, he was clearly talking bollocks. I toyed with the idea of being racially offensive, but I couldn't think of anything (which annoyed me!), so I kidded on I was a Detective Sergeant with Police Scotland and thanked him for leaving his number. He hung up PDQ after that!

Emma reported number 01317771101 as 0131 7771101
Getting about 5 calls every day for the past two weeks with person at the other end hangs up so a scam for sure. Some companies are hired just to make sure the number belongs to someone/ or a company then they sell the "list" to sales companies. If you pick up be sure you'll soon receive sales calls from various places...

Investigator dave reported Scottish Gas with the number +441317771101 as Debt collection company
Asian sounding man asked for half my postcode and then said he was working for collections and I was in arrears for £75. I almost paid him but had no credit card to hand luckily.
Total scammer as I later found out. -
Annoyed reported number +441317771101 as Claimed to be GiffGag
Missed a call from this number to my mobile, and just received a second one which I answered.
I live in Edinburgh so the 0131 made me think it was probably someone I know. But it wasn't.
South Asian sounding man answered the call saying it was a call from GiffGaff regarding one of my accounts and asked me to confirm the second half of my post code. I refused and asked him to give me the reason for calling as I do not and have never had an account with GiffGaff. Said he couldn't give me any more details until I confirmed my postcode or some other details.
I refused to do so reiterating again that I do not have, and have never had, an account with GiffGaff, he thanked me and I hung up.
Probably a scam - I don't see why GiffGaff would be using a regional number. Even more bizarre that it is the regional number for my area.

Littleboylost reported number 01317771101 as Alleged To Be Scottish Gas
A spate of calls from this number over the course of three weeks, ""arrears with my energy bill"? Oh really? £237 in credit so I visited Scottish Gas HQ in Granton Edinburgh to attempt to get to the bottom of these baffling calls and was told to ignore these ""telephone con artists", that says it all.

customerxyz reported unknown with the number +441317771101 as Harassment calls
My record will show that I have been alert through two telephone contacts from my sheltered housing flat in ensuring that my bills are timeously paid with appropriate assurances. I, no-one I know, and no-one in their right mind would answer an unknown number. After searching through hospital numbers for fear it might be a dear friend trying to get in touch I found tonight the 10 or more calls came from my energy supplier with whom prior arrangements were amicably in place. Quantitatively this is harassment: qualitatively it is administrative ineptitude. I'll be paying my bill today at the Post Office having duly received my requested bank giro credit form. The implicit threats and vilification in the written correspondence are shameful and significantly at variance with the telephoning experience. You will understand however that through whatever beastliness, at my time of life I simply cannot afford to fall out with any provider of basic utilities.

Jastin reported number 01317771101 as British Gas
purported to be BG and the number was from Edinburgh where i live. Asian accent and this is the second time over the past few months a scam call purporting to be from BG has followed up a genuine call from BG. Seems someone is perhaps giving out customer info to scammers. i've mentioned it to BG but they seem unconcerned.
