Just answered call from a male with a strong Asian accent used my surname and said he was calling with regard to my boiler. Stated he was from British Gas. I said not with British Gas and I terminated then blocked the number.

Called today 15.54. Lots of bad background noise. make with strong Asian accent. Called me by my husband's name. When I asked why he was calling he said he was ringing about our boiler. He added if our boiler is working properly. I then said that I do not respond to cold calls and ended The call. As we don't have a boiler, this was clearly a scam.
Claimed to be from British Gas about my boiler service, I do not use BG for my boiler!
Caller with strong Asian accent said he was ringing from British Gas about my boiler, when I said I don’t have anything with British Gas he cut me off! Rude!
Someone gave a large sigh and rang off
Unknown caller, not answered as probable scam. Caller hung up as soon as phone went to answer service. This is the usual pattern of behaviour from the endless barage of unsolicited calls that we recieve despite being registered with TPS. Number blocked.
Thick accent saying it was a survey but had living details but not my age. Wanted my age. I put the phone down thinking this call was a scam.

number is for my household savings and is a telephony survey
Someone from “UK Savings” who ever they are. Very strong Asian accent… very hard to understand. I asked her where she was calling from but did not get an answer. I asked her several times if she was calling from India. Didn’t get an answer but she hung up.
