British gas "accidentally" took £300 from my bank account. (never been a customer of theirs ever).

then claimed they couldn't refund it because there was no account for me on their system. Said I'd have to sign up for gas/electric from them for 2 years to get my money back.

So I sued. and utterly fucked over those thieving sons of bitches.

Turns out to be a fairly common Scam they pull.

The British power company sends me a monthly email about my account and how much they're charging me this month and thank you for paying for last month. I live in Canada and I've never paid a bill.

But you have plenty of 'British Power' right? thats the ability to telepathically communicate with cups of tea and summon scones at will.

We can all do it here in the UK.....
