.............supposedly from British Gas:
Hello, we're going to send you another message asking for your meter readings. It'll come from our other mobile number - but rest assured it's us. Thanks.
Well, I've just got the other message, as follows:
Hello.
To make sure your bills are as accurate as possible ahead of the price changes on 1st July.
Please reply to this message with a gas meter reading in the following format:
G1234 or G12345.
Thanks, you British Gas Team.
A scam if ever I saw one.

their little scam (official) Hi Karen McClntock! is to say your are late and there's a surcharge( £10 or £20)
which they add on..... when you arent late ! ho ho ho what a good joke.
THEN
whilst you are whining about whether it is £490 or £500 - you are marked as a late payer on your credit score
THEN
you get a letter with honeyed words, how they work their socks off for a splendido service and they are so so sorry for screwing your credit rating but there is nothing they can do. It is all done in the best parsible taste. Thieves and crooks

read your meters today folks !
and send them in electronically ( for BG)
you will need also your acct number - begins 85 00 (pers no) (identifier for G / E)
and of course the readings
to do with caps -
not that horrific ( sending in the readings) compared to the above
helping BG to help you? no helping BG charge the customer the right amount
