01142190110

Got a missed call from 01142190110

Called it back and just got a recorded message to say that all the reps are busy. Doesnt state what company.

Anyone know anything about this number please?

I keep getting calls from this number but they never leave a msg. I won't call it back just in case it is a scam line

Its British Gas, i too keep getting calls but no messages left.

Rang them back from work (in case it was a dodgy number) and it was an automated message from British Gas saying they tried to call me.

In my opinion, It cant be that important if no-one ever leaves a message! I have 2-3 calls per day from this number - you'd think they would leave a message!

Hope this helps.

Claire.

They keep calling me every 30 - 45 mins from about 12pm Mon - Fri.
I now answer the call and leave it on mute until they get fed up and hang up.
Yes it is British Gas !!!!!!

Fed up with these calls. Often no message is left, when a message is left we can't hear what they are saying.

Don't answer these calls, but they never leave a message.

If it's British Gas then they're wasting their time (I'm in an electric-only household!).

We are registered with TPS, and have never been customers of British Gas, so they should NOT be calling.

This is a customer service number from the division of British Gas that handles changes in supplier. They telephone people who are customers of other suppliers to offer them a cheaper rate and bonuses. This is why you get calls from them without being a British Gas customer. They are not wasting their money as it comes out of their marketing budget. If you object to receiving promotional calls from them or other companies you need to contact the Telephone Preference Service to ask about your name being removed from the list of people who agree to receive these calls. You have in effect agreed to receive promotional calls because you have not opted out. Here is the link to OfCom for more information on how to do this.

British Gas have been pestering my 93 year old Aunty even though her number is registered with OfCom.
I have contacted British Gas direct who have promised to stop it so we will see what happens now.

Just because the money comes from their marketing budget doesn't mean it is not being wasted. If the budget was reduced perhaps they could reduce their prices! I have been registered with the TPS for over 5 years but have received 3 calls from this number in the last week, and I shall be reporting them again. Does Zoe think this will stop them?

Like John, I have been registered with the TPS for over 3 years but have received 6 calls from this number in the last 2 weeks.

Cheers you lot. Was getting these messages too and decided to use t'interweb to find the number and this forum came up. Will keep ignoring them. My partner and I changed from BG to Atlantic Energy two weeks ago and BG are obviously wanting to get us to change our mind.

Good to hear that it's not just me. I have been getting calls from this number since Oct last year. All went quiet over xmas and new year but since the end of Feb they've started calling a few times a day again and they never leave a message. I have them programmed in my phone as "DO NOT ANSWER" and am hoping they'll eventually give up!

These calls are british gas alright, its an out sourced call centre based in sheffield city centre company name ventura.They handle most of BG calls.

The second evening call from someone claiming to represent British Gas (the first one didn't show a number).
Both callers asked me (Miss H, on my own mobile number) for my father (Mr H). It's about a discount, they said.
I had informed British Gas of my father's death two months previously, and made arrangements to take over the household gas account.
Presumably they consider dying amounts to defecting to an alternative energy supplier?
Bit damned insensitive, though.

No idea who this number belongs to - but I tend to get this number calling me in bursts.  They'll call for a few weeks at a time and then it stops for a while.  As soon as I pick the phone up, the line goes dead. Have never bothered to ring them back.

Just received a call from 01142190110 for the umpteenth time this week. Google led me here.

Is there a phone on the market with a built-in blacklist? It would be similar to an address book, which my phone already has, but would block calls on the list rather than display the name. It's such an obvious feature.

I just got a call from this number which sounded like a machine gone wrong - I could not tell what it (don't believe it was human) was trying to say.  Google led me here.  I am in TPS and ex-directory.

I've no idea who these people are but they keep phoning, I run to the phone and the phone line goes dead.  It is soooo annoying.

Yesterday and today - phone rings, shows 01142 191110 then just a click when you answer, and silence. I run a repair shop and have to put down what I'm doing to do them the courtesy of answering, only to get hung up on by a machine. Still I guess it's better than talking to one of the poor unfortunates who has to do it for a living & trying not to take it out on them.

Thanks to whoever put this resource online - least I know it's not a weirdo.

Oops typo meant 01142 190110, ie same as everyone else.
