01162982175 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01162982175 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving automated or scripted calls claiming to be from a local energy advisor offering to inspect potentially problematic loft insulation. Callers often use a common name and falsely suggest knowledge of specific property details, aiming to entice recipients into allowing an inspection. Voicemails, if left, tend to be silent or absent, and calls typically do not respect telephone preference services. Many users have confirmed the number is associated with nuisance calls and strongly recommend blocking and reporting it via official channels to protect against scam attempts. New visitors should be cautious and avoid engaging with these calls as they are not genuine energy consultants.

Got a call from a bloke, sounded kind of robotic, saying my home was listed on some insulation register because of fibreglass in my loft that might cause issues. Yeah, sure. I asked him which company he was working for. He just rattled off some contractor names that'd supposedly come check it out and asked if I wanted to proceed. I told him to stop right there - totally feels like a scam. Next time, I think I'll ask if he even knows my proper address. Bet he won’t have a clue.

I had an unfortunate encounter with someone named "Luke." He was definitely not the trustworthy "local energy advisor" he professed to be; rather, it felt like he was just reciting lines from a pre-prepared script. Clearly, this chap is up to no good!

He gave the name Luke when I asked who it was and mentioned it was local. But as soon as I cut in to check if it was a cold call, he just ended the call. So, I went ahead and blocked the number.

Got a call from this number around half past nine this morning. It went straight to my voicemail but there wasn’t a word said, just silence. Pretty sure it’s one of those spam calls. They seem to ring all the time now, really annoying!

Got a call from some number I don't recognise, and they didn’t bother to leave any message. So I just went ahead and blocked it. If they can’t be arsed to say who they are, I’m not wasting my time either.

I had a feeling it was dodgy but picked up just for a laugh. Some bloke claimed to be an energy advisor from around here, which was odd cos he’s well over a hundred miles away. He started with the usual “how are you?” I said all good till you called! Then I asked if he even cared about the Do Not Call list. Told him to jog on and hung up before he could say anything back.

Got a call earlier, figured it was probably a scam so I just didn’t pick up.

Total scam alert. They said they were my neighbourhood energy advisor but they're actually from Leicester. They even pretended to know what kind of loft insulation was in my home. Definitely dodgy.

Got a call from a number I didn’t pick up. Used this site and found out it was a scam. So, I’ve blocked it and reported them.

I picked up the phone and right after saying hello, the person just said goodbye and hung up. No clue why they'd do that, but it felt like maybe it wasn’t a legit call.
