Number overview
0120-983-429 is reported as a scam call impersonating Tokyo Gas and using a gas-appliance inspection as a pretext to push a home visit. It is not a legitimate Tokyo Gas phone number.
Reported tactics
- The caller claims, "This is Tokyo Gas. We're coming to inspect your gas appliances"
- The caller uses an 0120 number to imitate a legitimate Free Dial
- During the visit, the caller pushes high-cost gas-appliance replacements or installation work
- The caller may falsely claim "this is a legally required inspection"
Tokyo Gas's legitimate gas-equipment inspections are notified by postcard in advance. They do not call to schedule an inspection from an 0120 number.
