Received a call from this number earlier today. I tried calling back to find out what it was about, but as soon as we answered, it went silent, only to be interrupted by a constant engaged signal. It’s reassuring to see someone has identified the number belonging to a business in Leicester. I seem to recall this company being featured on Watchdog for similar issues. Just a thought: why doesn't everyone who has also been contacted by them flood their inbox with emails insisting that they cease all communications?

We recently received a call from them regarding grants for loft and cavity wall insulation. The chap mentioned a company called Malume (with an accent on the 'e', if I recall correctly). We attempted to transfer the call to someone else, but it literally took us just thirty seconds to do so, and we got cut off.

We've been receiving calls from this number quite regularly. It's the same problem as mentioned earlier, although not as frequent.

This number has been ringing me incessantly-eight times today alone! What's particularly frustrating is that they never leave a message. When I attempt to call back, it’s constantly busy. Quite annoying, to say the least!

I've found myself in a similar predicament. For the past month, I've been getting these peculiar calls. So far, all I've managed to uncover is that the number traces back to a Leicester area code. The search is still on...

Fascinating turn of events! Earlier today, we dropped a message on their website, and these folks insisted they had no idea about any calls being made. I urged them to investigate this immediately, especially since this site and others are clearly out there. I'm curious to see if the calls suddenly stop now!

I've lost count of the times this number has called me! Does anyone know who it is? I've been scouring the internet for what feels like an eternity but can't seem to unearth any information about them. If they're harassing so many of us, then surely someone out there must have a clue about their identity. If you have any information on these callers, please share it! Much appreciated!

This morning, we received a phone call and answered it. As soon as I said hello, the chap on the other end quickly apologised, saying it was the wrong number, and then abruptly hung up.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I receive a ring or two each day, and when I pick up, the caller hangs up. If I try to call back, the line is constantly busy, accompanied by a bizarre tone.

I've received countless calls from this company. Earlier today, a woman rang up, confirmed her name, and then abruptly hung up. I can't help but question the motives of a telemarketing outfit engaging in such behaviour. It leads me to believe either they're trying to dupe potential customers into thinking they've had conversations about their offerings-which, in reality, never happened-or perhaps they're merely verifying if this number is still suitable for their unsolicited calls. Quite curious, isn't it?

Every day, we return home to find a missed call from this number. When we try to ring them back, all we hear is a peculiar engaged tone. It seems like they might have disabled incoming calls. Surely, someone must have answered a call from them and could shed some light on who this belongs to?

Absolutely, I've had a call from these chaps too! They answered with "Hello Mrs *******," which made it clear they knew our name already. Apparently, they were keen to discuss when we’d had our loft insulation done. I made it quite clear that I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list, so they really have no business ringing us. I told him firmly to refrain from calling in future. He tried to act as if he was completely oblivious to the many complaints like ours. Honestly, it was like he thought he could get away with it-like spotting a pig flying by! When I pointed this out, he abruptly hung up on me.

I've received countless calls from this number and I'm absolutely baffled! Who on earth could they be? I've scoured the internet for ages trying to get some information, but I've come up empty-handed. It's frustrating when these callers are harassing not just me but others too; surely someone must know who they are! If anyone has any insights or information about these callers, please share. Thanks in advance!

Received a call from this number earlier today. The individuals were reaching out regarding a grant we put in for our home insulation a few weeks back. However, every time we tried to ring them back, it went straight to a busy signal. I haven’t got much information, but I hope this is of some use to someone!

This number keeps ringing off the hook! They never pick up when we do, and it’s obvious they’re just after making a sale. Not a single voicemail left either. I’m seriously considering adding them to my blocked list!

I received a call from Scottish Power attempting to persuade me to switch my energy provider. When I mentioned that I’d recently locked in my tariff with British Gas, his response was rather curt; he simply muttered 'oh right' and practically hung up on me! Quite the impolite experience, really!

Received a missed call earlier today and when I attempted to return it, the line was constantly busy. Now it all makes sense! I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has shared their experiences here. As someone with a disability, answering the phone is quite the challenge for me. Calls like this are just plain bothersome and really ought to be made illegal!

I've been getting calls from this number daily, along with a couple of others, for the last two days. Most of these happen while I'm at work, so I can't answer them. Has anyone out there spoken to this number or recognise the company behind it? I'm starting to get a bit anxious because they appear overly persistent in trying to reach me. Our number is ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so it’s peculiar that they’ve managed to get hold of it. The only entities that have access to it are BT and our internet provider. Any insights would be appreciated!

I've had this number ringing me incessantly, about four or five times daily. It's incredibly frustrating, as they never leave a message. And when I try to return the call, the line is engaged more often than not. Quite peculiar, really!

We’ve been dealing with this ongoing issue at home, as we keep getting calls from 01162293700, but there’s never anyone on the line. They just hang up straight away! When we try to return the call, all we hear is this peculiar busy signal. Is it genuinely busy, or is it some sort of automated sound designed to make us think it’s engaged, while we could end up racking up charges? It’s all a bit baffling, really. And what’s the point of these calls in the first place? We thought we had opted out of sales and cold calling lists!

I recently received a call from the number 01162293700. When I picked up, the caller was inquiring about a woman with a name that isn’t mine! This raised my curiosity, so I decided to do a bit of digging into who could be on the other end. After scanning through various comments, it seems I won’t be picking up from this number again. It really makes you stop and think about the people you engage with over the phone. It’s rather unsettling to consider how they might have obtained my number in the first place.

Gave me a ring on 6th February 2014, claiming to represent Scottish Power, and was attempting to pitch a more affordable tariff.

Beware of Absolute Insulation! They’re reaching out to people who are registered with TPS, pretending to be "Government Energy Advisers" in an attempt to peddle insulation services. This is a definite red flag. Best to steer clear of them!

I’ve started to avoid picking up the phone altogether; it really unnerves me. Being a retiree, I suppose I’m just not as comfortable with it anymore.
