You don't need to wait for a meter reader nor to have a so-called 'smart' [but it's not] meter. w I do monthly readings myself and wont have a ?smart meter, I had been trying to send the reading online all morning when I got the text, which I was dubious about,but later on I found out that British Gas had sent text messages due to web site crashing it was the text being from a mobile number that made me take extra notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have a spreadsheet which I put my monthly readings in when I submit my meter readings to my supplier, so I have a record of all my readings.

spilldig Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 We registered a free gaurentee on a new television set last week. Two days later my wife had a call from what sounded like a man in India saying we were paying five pounds a week for insurance and that they could do it for four pounds. I am taking it that either someone at the insurance company passed our details on, or else they have been hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small print on your "free guarantee" probably gave them the right to share your details. Very few "guarantees" give you any more than you already have in your statutory rights.

Unless you paid (or signed a DD/SO mandate), how could you be paying five pounds a week for insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insurance is included. As I say, a scam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello1964 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I have recently needed to cancel my bank card after an odd experience. Trying to register with itvx, I did so, but received an email from mediacraze.net,thanking me for my subscription, we will take thirty quid off you every month. Nice of them. It is denounced as a USA based scam on Trust pilot , how on earth are they managing to invade itvx online and steal information? Please avoid this dreadful company.
