Expert Opinion
A foreign-sounding caller claiming to be from British Gas prompted a quick hang-up, highlighting the instinct to distrust unsolicited calls. Reports also mention ties to Domestic & General and a local council, but these raise red flags with poor name pronunciation, background noise, and odd timing like Saturday calls—classic hallmarks of deception. No legitimate organisation cold-calls for personal details without prior notice. Block the number immediately and report it to Action Fraud to curb wider harm. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and never share info over unsolicited lines. If in doubt, hang up and contact the supposed entity directly via official channels. Staying vigilant protects privacy without paranoia.

My call‑blocking app stopped it – go on, scammers, have at it!
It appeared to be a call from Domestic & General, but I'm not sure, mate.
A few minutes ago, my husband picked up a call from this number; a foreign‑accented woman claimed to be from British Gas, so he hung up and we blocked it.
A call came with heavy background noise; the Asian‑accented lady struggled with my first name and mispronounced my surname, then claimed to be from the local council needing answers to three questions. After 43 years in the area, I know the council never does that, especially on a Saturday, so I declined and blocked the number – a clear scam.
My phone flagged the call as a suspected scam, so I let it go unanswered.
