1 yearGot another ring from this number - looks like one of those dodgy scams linked to insulation. The caller said they were the energy advisor for my neighbourhood or something like that.1 yearI just ignored it, didn’t bother picking up.1 yearI called back but nobody was there to pick up like I was told.1 yearI didn’t pick up, and there wasn’t any voicemail either.1 yearAbout 10 minutes ago, I got a call from a woman trying to pitch insulation to me. Since I’m on the TPS, I shouldn’t be getting these kinds of unwanted calls. So, if I don’t know the number, I usually assume it’s a scam. The moment I told her I was a domestic energy inspector, she just hung up straight away. Her voice sounded familiar too - like I’ve had calls from her before.1 yearMy home phone buzzed at 8 in the morning on Monday the 27th of January, dragging me out of my sleep. I picked up but stayed quiet. There was this strange buzzing sound on the line, then nothing - which usually means an automated message is coming. Waited for about a minute, still no noise, so I hung up. I’m signed up with the TPS and hardly get any calls on my landline, so probably just some dodgy cold call. They must be ringing that early to try and catch folks when they’re groggy.Telephone Preference Service1 yearEven though I’m on the telephone preference service, my landline got an unexpected call. I didn’t pick up, and there was no message left on my answerphone. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.Telephone Preference Service1 yearI answered with a quick hello, but then I heard this weird little click on the other end which seemed a bit dodgy. I just kept quiet after that and nothing else happened, so I ended the call.1 yearPhone rang and I didn’t answer, they didn’t leave any voicemail either. Pretty sure it’s one of those dodgy scam calls.1 yearBeware of 011165076140 - total scam!1 yearHonestly, don’t bother answering, it’s just one of those annoying recorded scams. They always use different phone numbers, so it’s hard to keep track.1 yearWatch out, it's a scam! Stay safe everyone.1 yearGot two calls from this number, total time waster - straight to blocked!1 yearI don’t pick up calls anymore cause they’re pretty much all scams. When they ring I just let it go straight to voicemail, and sometimes I call back but hang up before it even picks up. At least most people get in touch with me on my mobile, so it’s not all bad.1 yearG81 region, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland: Saturday 25th Jan 2025, around 9:15 in the morning... Got a call from a woman with an English accent trying to book an appointment to inspect a loft that had fibre insulation before, saying it was now unsafe. Feels like it might be a dodgy scam to get into people’s houses. What worries me is that she could scare folks about their home’s safety so badly that vulnerable people might let her in under fake reasons.G81West Dunbartonshire1 yearI got a call from someone saying they wanted to offer a home remodelling service. I said no thanks!Politely1 yearI’m on the telephone preference service and I still get calls from these so-called insulation advisors who say they’re nearby. But when I look them up, they’re actually more than 70 miles from me. It’s a bit annoying really.Telephone Preference Service1 yearThis scam needs to be stopped urgently. I got a call from a woman talking about loft insulation. It sounds like one of those automated messages that changes based on what you say. They keep ringing constantly, obviously going after people who might be more trusting or vulnerable. We run a business and the building has a flat roof, yet they just don’t give up. Someone really needs to take action against these dodgy calls.1 yearGot a call just now but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Cheers to everyone who warned about those insulation cold call scams in the earlier comments. Honestly, these calls shouldn’t be permitted by law. Our landline's ex-directory, so quite frustrating. Have blocked the number now.1 yearGot a call about loft insulation, but honestly, I’m not keen. Feels like one of those dodgy scam calls. I’ve told them loads of times I’m not interested, but they just keep ringing. If I wanted it done, I’d go through someone nearby, not some random cold caller. These calls are just a pain and honestly, they’re doing no favours to my stress levels!1 yearNo idea who it was, just ended up as a silent call on my phone. Proper annoying!1 yearI keep getting calls from the same lady claiming to be an energy advisor, even tho I’ve told her before she’s not welcome. When I asked her which company she worked for, she just talked right over me. I waited for her to stop and asked again, but still no clear answer. Told her I’m on the TPS - private household and I’ve told her that ages ago but she keeps calling anyway. Maybe the TPS or the information commish need to do something about this nonsense.Telephone Preference ServiceTPS1 yearJust got another one of those scam calls, so I've put them straight on my blocked list.1 yearGot two quick rings then nothing, bit rude if you ask me.1 yearI don't pick up calls from numbers I don't recognise anymore, but it baffles me why they’re ringing a home landline that's on the TPS. What can the TPS actually do about all these annoying calls anyway, and why are we, the taxpayers, shelling out money for it?TPS1 yearThey rang me two times but hung up as soon as I picked up. I've blocked the number now.1 yearI just picked up and they ended the call right away.1 yearI got a call from a lady claiming to be an energy advisor, and right off the bat she asked if I owned the place. Told her I'm just the tenant, then she cut me off straight away. Seems like that company only wants to chat with folks they can pressure into a deal right there and then. I've owned my home for over four decades, but I've found this little trick handy to quickly end these kinds of calls!1 yearGot a call from a woman named Jo who was doing an energy survey, something to do with insulation. She had this script and wouldn’t let me get a word in when I asked about the company she was working for. Even though I told her to stop calling and I’m on the do-not-call list, she kept ringing me over and over. Definitely feels like a scam to me.Jo1 yearWatch out, this looks like a proper dodgy scam. I’ve started seeing news about shoddy insulation being put in by these crooks, and it’s causing serious trouble. Homes with this insulation can’t be sold, and banks won’t approve mortgages on them either. If you get calls, text them to 7726 to make a report. Make sure you get a reply, as you might have to confirm what you sent.1 yearGot a call from a woman named Jo trying to sell loft insulation. Just hung up straight away.Jo2 yearsI think I just got hit up by one of those dodgy insurance scams. Really annoying!2 yearsGot a call from this number around 11:50 today, but when I answered it just went straight to a busy signal.2 yearsI’ve never met anyone from Leicester, so I’m guessing this was just some kind of sales call. I didn’t rush to pick up and, thankfully, they didn’t leave any voicemail or message.Leicester2 yearsI got a ring from this number today, the person said they were doing some sort of energy check around here, and mentioned I might get another call soon to set up a time for them to check my loft insulation. They asked how old I am as well. I’ll update if they call me again. Cheers to everyone who shared their thoughts on this number already.2 yearsGot a call about loft insulation, sounded really suspicious. When I asked for their details, they got rude and just cut me off. I’m on the TPS and my number’s ex-directory, so they’re definitely not following the rules.TPS2 yearsThis number kept ringing me every day, so I finally put it on block. Sometimes when I answer, there’s just silence or the line cuts out on their side. Other times, the minute I hear that automated message kicking in, I just hang up straight away. Honestly, I don’t think anyone’s really going to get anything good from picking up this one.2 yearsThis lady called Jo rang me up asking about my loft insulation and if I owned the house. She never told me her name properly or gave any proof of who she was. When I questioned her about who she was and which company she was representing, she just ended the call. Strange behaviour I thought.Jo2 yearsReceived a call with no one on the line. Quite puzzling, really! It was utterly silent, no response at all.Submit Your Own Report (0116 507 6140)
