Right when I answered, they just cut the call straight away.

Got a call from someone claiming they needed to update my life insurance details, but when I told them I don’t have any life insurance, they just cut the call straight away.

This number belongs to some dodgy energy sales person who really has no idea what they’re on about when you ask them proper technical stuff. I ended up chatting with them for almost 15 minutes just for a laugh, trying to waste their time so they couldn’t scam anyone else. Honestly, if you get a ring from this number, best thing to do is just put the phone down straight away.

Don’t get caught out by them. I got asked if I was in a certain age bracket, so I just told the woman, “Sorry, could you tell me where you’re calling from?” And as soon as I said that, she just ended the call straight away.

They didn’t leave any voicemail - looks like just another sales call for stuff I’m not interested in!

My call blocker caught a ring from this number. I've been getting quite a few calls not just from this one, but others that look alike. I reckon these are dodgy scam calls and best avoided. I always make sure to report them both to Action Fraud and the phone preference service to keep others safe too.

It's just the usual thing for me, I act clueless and string them along for a bit, giving them a taste of their own game. Then, right when they reckon they've got me, I hit them with the fact I don’t even own the place. That really seems to put a spanner in their works!

The number was unfamiliar so I let it ring out. They didn't leave any voicemail, so I just figured it was probably some kind of scam.

This number keeps popping up on my phone. Whenever I ask them which company they're calling from, all they say is 'are you the homeowner?' then just hang up when I ask again. Really annoying!

This number, 01146972889, has been ringing my home phone loads of times. Whenever I pick up, I hear a message about having new voicemails but then there's just silence before it hangs up. It's really annoying! I've ended up blocking it now.

I got a call from 01146972889 today. Some woman started talking about energy checks and asked if I’d had one done lately. I didn’t really say anything and just hung up on her after she kept going on. Surely one of those dodgy scam calls. The number was unfamiliar, so if she rings back, I’m not picking up.

Got a call from an older lady claiming it was a free survey about adding loft insulation and solar panels. When I asked more questions, she admitted it was actually a sales pitch and said she was based in the UK. Feels like a scam to me. Oddly, I’m on the TPS list for ages, but still got the call.

The person on the phone wanted to know if we'd done an energy assessment and if I owned the home. I told them I get loads of calls like this and wasn't bothered, then I just ended the call.

The call just dropped out on me. I tried ringing back since I was waiting for an important business call from a Yorkshire area code. A lady called Helen picked up and kept interrupting me, going on about some energy survey stuff without even saying which company she was from. When I told her my number’s on the TPS and that unsolicited sales calls are against the rules, she just ended the call straight away.

I got a call about an energy survey for my home, and after they went on and on, I told them I just take a big pinch of salt. Guess what? They ended up hanging up on me, bit funny really!

Got a call again today from a woman saying I qualified for some free survey thing. The minute I told her we already talked she just cut me off - what a rude woman. It baffles me how these callers never seem to get caught or face any consequences.

Got a call from a woman who said she worked for a nearby energy provider. Right away, I felt something was off because she was pretty unclear about details. She said they were conducting surveys in homes to check on energy savings, mentioning they'd look at lofts and see if solar panels could be an option. When I asked who exactly would come to do the inspection, she couldn’t give me a straight answer. I don't think it’s a straight-up scam, more like a dodgy solar panel outfit trying to sneak in. Just watch out for this kind of thing.

I didn’t answer cause I didn’t recognise the number, and they didn’t leave any voicemail, so I just thought it might be a scam.

Got a weird call recently. There was a long pause before a lady finally said she was my local energy advisor. When I mentioned I’m on the TPS list, she just ended the call right away. I keep getting these sorts of calls popping up. Honestly, they really ought to be outlawed.

A lady called me claiming to be my "Local Energy Consultant," her name was Helen. She mentioned something about a free service for homeowners like me, including checking my energy usage with a visit and inspecting my roof. I asked her several times which company she worked for, but she only kept saying she was my local energy adviser. That was where the call finished. I guess some folks might fall for these chats, but judging by Helen's approach, she's probably not cut out for this line of work. It was actually more amusing than the usual scam calls I get since it was ridiculously obvious!

I let the answer machine pick up and the person just hung up, didn’t leave anything. Our phone number isn’t in any directory, so I’m not sure how these scam calls even get through. We just don’t pick up the landline anymore, let the answer machine handle it instead.

Got a call from a lady claiming to be with the local energy firm, offering a free check-up for my roof and loft to see if I could save money. Said it was no charge and no pressure. I told her it sounded dodgy and I wasn’t interested in anyone visiting. She still kept asking loads of questions so I just ended the call. The line kept breaking up so we kept losing bits of the chat.

Got a call claiming they're doing a survey in my neighbourhood, saying it’s been ages since my energy efficiency was last reviewed. I cut in and asked how many times I’d have to say I’m not interested, do you get that? They said “no.” I repeated, telling them I don’t want any more calls, understand? Again, “no.” I said I was hanging up now, you get that? “No.” Then they just put the phone down. If it wasn’t so annoying, it’d be quite funny.

Then out of nowhere she started chatting about checking roofs and putting in solar panels. The moment I mentioned I'm down in the basement, so none of that applies, she just ended the call. Pretty sure it was just a pushy sales tactic for solar stuff.
