Gas unpaid bill scam?

Recently got an odd letter claiming that £100 is owed for a gas bill requesting payment within 7 days. It offered a meter check and claims to be from a Debt collector. Has anyone else recieved any strange posts like this lately?

Update:

I'm not worried just suspicious. No gas provider is mentioned.It was almost demanding bank transaction payment only. Plus something about them coming to check the meter. I suspect it's a scam but just wanted to know if anybody else has had something similar that can back up my suspicions

    My mom fell for a similar scam once.

    You know you have paid all your bills?

    Then, tell them to stuff it.

    Check your credit reports by googling:

    No. If you're worried you could try contacting your gas supplier and ask if its real.
