Called telling me that our gas reading was incorrect, a new employee had put the wrong address details in resulting in high meter reading, said he was working on behalf of British Gas (not our provider), then trying to get contract info, directors info, question why requesting this as you told me incorrect reading, you should know my contract info as its in your system, wouldn't take no for an answer, hung up in the end, had three call back immediately from same number

Today 15/02/2022 at 12.50.
Received call from this number 16.33 today. Man in heavy Indian accent said he was calling from Royal Mail and asked me to give him my e-mail address. I was very suspicious and told him that if he was from Royal Mail, he would presumably have my postal address, so I advised him to post me a letter with whatever he wanted to tell me. I then hung up.
Indian or Bangladeshi male. don't know anyone in Barrow so just hung up.
