Phone number ☎️ 001268743608 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number frequently calling multiple times daily, often delivering silent calls or disconnecting abruptly when answered. Callers claim to represent energy-saving or government grant organisations, but fail to provide legitimate identification, sometimes becoming rude or argumentative when challenged. Attempts to gather personal property or financial information are common, raising suspicion of scams. Many recipients are registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), yet calls persist, causing frustration and distress, particularly among vulnerable individuals. Blocking the number or reporting it to relevant authorities is advised, as the number appears linked to aggressive cold-calling and potential phishing activities. Caution and refusal to share personal details are strongly recommended.

My work phone keeps ringing from this number and when I pick up, there's total silence. It's really annoying and feels like such a waste of my time!

I received a call with no one on the other end-it’s baffling why they’d bother leaving a number at all. Surely, there are still some folks out there who pick up without verifying who’s on the line first! Oh, and whilst we're on the subject, I’m quite weary of those incessant messages targeting people on benefits. Honestly, if they've tried to reach this number time and again, why on earth not remove it from their list? It’s frustrating!

I received a rather peculiar call about a supposed government grant, and the voice on the other end was rather whimsical, almost like a character out of a fairy tale. Upon realising it was some sort of scam, I took matters into my own hands and let out a loud whistle into the phone. That did the trick and sent them packing in no time! I've since added the number to my block list.

Some bloke rang me claiming he was from a firm sorting out government grants for energy-saving, without even checking if I owned the house or anything. When I asked who he was or the company’s name, he just refused to tell me. I mentioned it was a harassing cold call and that I’d be making a complaint, so he just threw some OFGEM number at me and said to take it up with them about the grants. Honestly, this guy was a proper rude tosser and even started swearing at me. I’ve reported him and the whole shebang, no doubt.

Got a random call earlier about some Government Grants for changing boilers. I told the bloke I’m on the TPS list so he shouldn’t be ringing me. He got pretty rude and started arguing, saying something like, “You can’t stop me, what are you gonna do about it?” I’ve reported him to the TPS and would say others should too. They actually take action when enough folks make complaints.

Picked up the phone and was met with a prolonged silence, before a female voice chimed in with a curt "Goodbye". Definitely seems like a bother or perhaps a phishing attempt to verify whether our number is active. Whatever the case, if you’ve got caller ID, it’s best not to engage and simply block the number.

Received a call claiming to be from British Gas, stating they required a change of our meter and that I should ring 08009755555. However, it's definitely not British Gas!

An overseas gentleman attempted to sell us a heating boiler, claiming to represent a heating firm. However, as soon as my husband hung up, he called back immediately. Personally, I prefer to let them dangle on the line, often placing the phone next to a blaring radio or blowing a whistle into the receiver, choosing whichever is most accessible at the moment!

They’ve been at it, ringing three times consecutively. Each time, I've made it abundantly clear to them to stop calling!

I've experienced the same thing! The phone rings multiple times a week, and all I hear is them saying goodbye before they simply cut the line. It's rather daft of them to not withhold their number, isn't it?

I keep getting calls from this annoying person multiple times each day. He even left his number on my phone, so I’m thinking of reporting him to Which. Every time I pick up, they just hang up straight away - what’s the use of that?

This nuisance calls me multiple times each day, and now that the fool has kindly left a number, I plan to report them to Which. It’s absurd; they just hang up as soon as I pick up. What on earth is the purpose of that?

This number calls me a bunch of times daily. When I pick up, they just go quiet and hang up straight away. Today was different though, I said hello and they responded with some silly voice like they was mocking me. Then they asked if I was the homeowner, I told them I’m just renting, and they ended the call. Honestly, I’m fed up with these constant calls from them every single day.

They just ended the call without a word.

Been getting calls from this number all day, like 12 times or something. It's seriously starting to drive me mad! Has anyone else been getting this too?

I really wish these calls would come to an end. Being elderly, I find it quite challenging to reach the phone, and my mobility isn’t what it used to be. Honestly, it's such a nuisance!

I just had a curious experience with this number. When I picked up and greeted with a couple of "Hello"s, I was met with nothing but a voice that simply uttered "Goodbye" before abruptly hanging up! How odd!

001268743608 rang me up asking to speak with the homeowner. I told them she wasn’t in. These calls keep coming non-stop, it’s getting worse every day with more scammy numbers. How do we put an end to this mess?

Today I picked up a call from this number and all I heard was silence. After saying hello a couple of times, suddenly someone just said goodbye and then they ended the call!

Today, at about 3:15pm on 21st September, I received a call from 001268743608. The person on the other end was a lady speaking with a foreign accent. She asked to speak with the homeowner and mentioned something about energy savings before I cut her off with a firm no thanks. Just as I was about to hang up, she begged me not to put the phone down. I've since blocked this number using TalkTalk’s free call barring feature, so luckily I shouldn’t get any more calls from them.

Got a silent call from 001268743608, which showed up as ‘internationat’. Didn’t answer after noone spoke, just put the phone down and later looked up the number. Now it’s saved as ‘scam international’ in my contacts so I know to ignore it next time.

So this number, 001268743608, rang me on the 9th of September around 2:40 pm. I just let it ring out like I usually do, then I dialled 1471 after a brief wait to see who it was. Some of my mates and family give me grief for not answering, but honestly, it helps me keep calm and avoid stressing too much!

I got a call from this number earlier today, on the 9th of September, around 2:40 PM. Like I usually do, I chose not to pick up the phone and instead checked who it was via 1471 after a brief interval.

Honestly, this number should be blocked already. They keep ringing up about boilers and insulation stuff. It’s really getting on my nerves.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent trying to sell me some kind of energy-saving steam for my boiler. When he realised we don’t have gas in our village, just oil, he started asking about the boiler brand and whether the pipes were brass, copper, or plastic. I said copper, and then the call just dropped. Definitely not picking up if he rings again from that number.

This number keeps ringing my phone but when I answer, there’s just dead silence. Seriously hope someone puts a stop to this.

Had a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming they were from the Dept of Energy about grants for boilers. They weren’t trying to sell anything, but wanted to know the age of our boiler. I just hung up after that.

Got a call from someone asking about when I last changed my central heating boiler. I asked for his name, the company's name, and their address, and told him to remove me from their calling list. He claimed he couldn't take me off and when I wouldn't say when the boiler was replaced, he threatened to ring back between 5 and 6 in the morning. The details he gave about the company seemed dodgy to me. In the end, he never bothered calling back at that early hour.

I've been getting calls from this number non stop. Whenever I pick up, there's this awkward silence followed by a robotic voice saying "goodbye." Honestly, it's so irritating, words can't even explain how annoying it is.

Got loads of calls from this number, maybe 5 or 6 every day. The last time they rang was at 8:45pm on the 20th of August. Some guy asked if I could tell the time and then just hung up. Honestly, this has got to stop.

This number has called me a bunch today - about six times! I already told them I’m on the preference list but they just don’t seem to get it. They keep saying it’s something to do with energy saving or a grant for boilers. Proper annoying!

This number has rung me loads of times, saying they’re from some energy saving group or something. I keep telling them I’m not interested but they just keep pestering me. What’s weird is I’ve noticed it’s the same number that’s called me around six other times, and when I answer, a woman’s voice that sounds like it’s on a loop just says ‘goodbye’ in a sort of mocking way and then cuts off. It’s definitely the same prerecorded voice every time.

Like the first person said, i told them i wasnt interested but they just wouldn’t give up, kept pestering me. I ended up hanging up, but they rang me like 6 times after that. Eventually, i just made stuff up and said my boiler was brand new to get them off my back.

This number has called me a few times now. Whenever I pick up, there's just silence for a bit, and then the person on the other end just disconnects. Quite strange really.

I got a call this morning from someone claiming it was about a government grant for heating my house. They wanted to know how old my boiler was and then started asking about my benefits to see if I was eligible. I told them I don't share any financial details over the phone with people I don't know and reminded them I'm registered with TPS, so they really shouldn't be calling me. They insisted it wasn't a sales call, but I told them clearly not to bother ringing me again.

Received a call from this number earlier, and the caller insisted on speaking to the property owner. Found the tone rather frosty, so we decided it was best to hang up. Just felt a bit off, you know?
