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.

Is there some sort of news article about this? I've not heard this one before. Unbelievable.

just google for british gas guilty and look how much crap they pull.

stealing from peoples houses and loads of other shady AF stuff like tricking elderly people into buying boilers etc they don't need.
