Share Fraudsters

Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any suspicious or unsolicited mail or telephone calls in relation to their Centrica plc (Centrica) shares.

These may offer to buy shares at a discount, sell your shares at a premium or offer a free company report. These communications imply a connection with Centrica and are often from overseas based ‘brokers’ who are very persuasive and extremely persistent, with professional websites to support their activities.

Such communications are not endorsed by Centrica as Centrica does not participate in such unsolicited communication programmes. The calls should be treated as scams and should be reported to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) so that they can investigate. You are able to do this either online at fca.org.uk/consumers/report-scam-us or by calling Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or +44 (0)207 386 3620 from outside the UK.

If you do receive telephone calls, emails, letters from Centrica or from companies endorsed by Centrica and you are unsure if they are legitimate, please contact our shareholder helpline for clarification on 0371 384 2985 or +44 (0)121 415 7061 from outside the UK*.

* Shareholder helpline opens 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday (UK time), excluding public holidays in England and Wales. Calls to an 03 number cost no more than a national rate call to an 01 or 02 number, unless you are dialling from overseas where call charges will vary.
