HeHasRisen Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) If you posted the details as I asked days ago we could have resolved it rather quickly. What phone number is on the email? Edited September 30, 2023 by HeHasRisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florence kat Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 The only phone numbers I can find on the email are 0330 054 5340 and 0330 818 0004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that second number doesn't inspire much confidence https://who-called.co.uk/Number/03308180004 In any case it all depends what the email is actually asking you to do, if anything.

florence kat Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 This is what the email is telling me: "Good news! We’ve moved your gas account onto our new system. You're now one of over 3 million customers who have access to our new-look online account. We’re really excited about the updates we’ve made so far. We’re still making improvements and we’ll continue to work hard so we can make managing your energy easier." I have now had another email looking rather similar to the first, but this time it wants a recent meter reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 In which case ring them up on the number listed on their website, and provide one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyno Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 You can send British Gas any emails you're suspicious of, and they will investigate. Email: phishing@britishgas.co.uk For more see: https://www.britishgas.co.uk/help-and-support/my-account/accessing-your-account#suspicious-email, which also lists the internal email addresses they use.

swarfendor437 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I got an email about the transfer on 14th August about being transferred to the new system. British Gas don't usually provide their numbers in an e-mail, the only information they provided were web links to other sites, "... customer help hub", "Live Chat" and "financial assistance". If you are dubious about any email, select the option to 'show headers' - this will show where the message originated from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
