After about 5 seconds of silence a voice said "hello" twice, I replied "hello", then the call ended. The same number had called twice four days earlier, first was blocked and second was missed although I was carrying my phone during that day and it didn't ring.

flashed up on my phone as british gas calling. did not pick up and they did not leave a message. scam.
Said they were British Gas calling to make an appointment for installing new meters. When I refused, they hung up.
My mobile flashed up that this number was reported as spam. Woman claimed to be from "British Gas -home of the smart meter". Asked if I was Mrs X, and I'm not, so I hung up. Checked on here, yeah, scam.
This was a call from British Gas, probably a response for a recent boiler quotation I asked for. When I called the number I listened to a polite message from BG, saying that the call was not urgent.
Did have time to answer this it rang off so quickly - blocked number.
Called twice today took one of the calls mentioned a smart meter definitely a scam as British Gas installed nine a few years ago
Stated it was British Gas calling to change a non communicating meter to a new one. Knew my name and street. Didn’t know postcode or account number. I told the person that I was concerned about scam calls so would need to check with British Gas direct to confirm. They gave me a number that they wanted me to call and to tell them it was about changing a meter from type 1 to type 2 (obviously I didn’t) that number was 0333 200 4455.
Distorted, foreign, woman's voice. Said she was calling to arrange for installation of smart meter , which I haven't discussed or agreed to. Started saying that and she rung off. First call was this morning. Second call from this number early evening, but I was unable to reach phone before it stopped ringing.
Lady - foreign Left nonsensical message Presumably trying to get me to call back Keeps ringing, now blocked
Missed call, blocked as SPAM by my phone. When I phoned the number (with 141 prefix) get voice mail with message claiming it is from british gas but was not urgent - - no need to call back. Blocked & reported to BG, Vodafone & OffCom as nuisance caller
I answered. Lady saying my meter is out of date and I should think about getting an upgrade......presumably a smart meter. No thank you.
Claimed to be from British Gas offering to install smart meters. Told them I had smart meters so they then changed to mine are out of date. Told them the meters were only fitted recently and rung off. Had a second call from this number but when I answered no one said anything. Ended call, pretty sure it is a scam.
Called me from outside the UK Asian accent claiming to be from British Gas wanting to install a new smart meter I asked them if they could confirm an account number and they didn't answer me, but they did know my name, I told them that I didn't have any accounts with British Gas and they hung up. A few minutes later they phoned again and the call went on to my answer phone there call lasted over six minutes, when I checked the call there was just six minutes were silence. I phoned British Gas direct and they confirmed they didn't call me, they said they don't have the number on there data base Beware
Said she was from British Gas, that my meter was installed a long time ago and could be changed to a smart meter for no charge. Said no didn't want one, then she said £25 would be credited to my account if I did change. Said answer still no and she hung up.
