2 yearsI got a call from a bloke sounding quite serious, asking me about the electoral register. I ended up giving him my date of birth, NI number and address. He mentioned sending me a letter, but nothing ever showed up. Just now, they rang me again.5 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the caller just hung up straight away.5 yearsGot a call from someone called Wendy Allen, said she was from Leicester. She wanted to know why I hadn’t gone after my government grant for insulation yet. Bit odd, not sure how she got my number.Wendy AllenLeicester5 yearsI picked up the phone and as soon as I did, the person on the other end just ended the call.5 yearsI got a call from someone named Wendy Allen claiming she’s with the eco funding team. She was offering a grant for cavity wall insulation and said it’d only cost £259 plus a free survey. When I tried ringing back, the answerphone had an American accent and just said to ring during office hours. Honestly, it smells like a scam to me, trying to take money upfront for work that probably won’t ever happen.Wendy Allen5 yearsGot a call from this number just before lunchtime claiming to be from Eco Grant UK. They asked if my boiler and insulation were older than seven years. I was honest and said something like, "I believe it could be fairly new," since I wasn’t sure. Right after that, they cut off the call saying they’d “make a note of it” or something similar. I’m a bit puzzled and uneasy about it - feels like they didn’t get enough details to actually follow up with anything.Eco GrantUK5 yearsI want to flag this number 011664976799 for making some really disturbing and unsafe calls. Just thought I should let you know. Cheers, Alexandra Kapsali.Alexandra Kapsali5 yearsThis number has been ringing my home phone for the past couple of weeks, often showing up twice daily. I never pick up since all my friends and family get my mobile number instead. Like before, they've never bothered to leave a voicemail.5 yearsI just got a call from some number asking about someone who passed away. I ended the call straight away. Really hoping they won’t ring again!5 yearsIt appears I may be dealing with a pesky telemarketer. The number 0116 497 6799 has been pestering me daily for the past fortnight, always around half nine in the morning. My phone gives a ring or four and then goes dead, as if they're trying to dodge my voicemail. I don’t recognise this number from anyone in my circle. I'm seriously considering picking up just to figure out who they are before reaching for my call-blocking feature. If I do decide to answer, I’ll certainly keep you posted on their identity! Cheers, Mandy.Mandy5 yearsGot a call from a lady named Christie claiming to be from Eco Funding, ringing again after phoning on the 5th and 6th about an energy grant we supposedly hadn’t claimed. When I told her this time we’re on benefits, she reacted quite differently compared to before when I said we weren’t. I mentioned that last time she said we weren’t even on any list, which makes me reckon this is just a scam. I told her to take us off their calling list and never bother us again.ChristieEco Funding5 yearsThey've rang my number like 23 times over the past fortnight. I just don't pick up since I haven't handed out my phone number to anyone, so I doubt anyone I know would be calling my landline.5 yearsI've had this number ringing my home phone a couple of times this week. I hardly ever use the landline, although I do have an answering machine, and neither time did they bother to leave a message. Quite odd, really!5 yearsGot a call from a number I didnt recognise.5 yearsThis number contacted my phone claiming to be from an eco-friendly company, yet it's peculiar they're based in Leicester, not Scotland.LeicesterScotland5 yearsSomebody called Wendy was trying to find out my birthday, sounded like she was fishing for personal info, probably some kind of social engineering scam.Wendy5 yearsSomebody named Wendy called me and started asking for my birthday, sounded like a total social engineering trick to me. Felt really dodgy, so I didn’t give anything away. Watch out for that kind of stuff!Wendy5 yearsAround half past nine in the morning, my phone rang, and knowing spammers often ring at this hour, I just let it go. Later I tried 1471 to check the number and was surprised it actually showed up. We got a load of calls yesterday from a persistent Asian lady who kept ringing and wouldn’t accept being told no - but she never showed her number. I was thinking this might be connected somehow.5 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times within half an hour today but I ignored it. It's been calling me pretty much every day for the last two weeks, but I never answer. They usually call around the same time too, roughly between 8:30 and 9:30 in the morning. I haven’t gotten any voicemail or messages from them either.5 yearsFor the past couple of months, this number has been bothering me with calls every now and then. Sometimes I picked up and there was no one on the line. So now I just ignore it. It's been such a waste of time and really irritating.5 yearsanswered the phone but no one spoke. dont know how they managed to get hold of my number since its ex directory. just one of those annoying calls.5 yearsWe've had this number ring us loads of times, but normally just let it go to voicemail. Today we actually picked up, and it was about some insulation service. Since we're ex-directory and signed up with TPS, and we never signed up for anything with them, I asked how they had our details. They fibbed, claiming we'd shown interest before, which is totally not true. I told them straight that they're breaking the law, seeing as we're on the TPS list.TPS5 yearsToday at about 3.10pm this number called me. I wasn't sure who it was but answered anyway. There was complete silence on the other end, so after around 7 seconds i just hung up. If they can’t say anything by then they’re definitely not someone I know.Submit Your Own Report (0116 497 6799)
