Watch out for scams!! I've been getting loads of these recently, all from different phone numbers. Luckily, I have call protection on my phone which tells me who's calling before it rings properly, so I can choose whether to answer or block. Problem is, these numbers are fake and mostly come from South Asia, so our local laws don't really apply to them.

Someone called me offering energy grants from our council. When I mentioned I’d just look it up on the council’s website myself, they quickly hung up on me.

Got a call about some Government Energy Grant. My missus hung up straight away. Then the bloke rang back and this time I picked up. He asked, “What’s wrong with her?” I told him to jog on and ended the call. Not long after, he phoned again and started swearing at me! I slammed the phone down. He rang once more, so I warned him I’d report the abusive, spammy calls. He just kept on with nonsense while I was speaking. Blocked his number pronto!

Got a call from an Asian guy named Steven who asked if our heating was working and if anyone here was claiming benefits, said there might be a chance of getting a government grant. Once I told him no benefits, he just ended the call.

This caller was really pushy and aggressive. He kept asking if I owned the place, and when I said I was just renting, he insisted on knowing if it was a private rental or not. I told him straight up that I don’t share personal info with strangers. Then he told me it was a yes or no question about the rental status. I explained that while I understood perfectly well, I wasn’t going to disclose it. After that, he started swearing a lot and even called me back several times. Honestly, the way he spoke made me think he could be quite dangerous because of how abusive he got.

He started by asking if I was the owner of the house. When I asked who it was, he said something about a government grant for ‘central eating’! I just ended the call straight away.

We've received calls from this mysterious number multiple times lately. Each time it goes to voicemail, they leave no message, which is rather odd. Today was particularly interesting-I was anticipating a call but didn't have my glasses handy, so someone else answered the phone. A rather brusque gentleman was on the line, inquiring about a Mr or Mrs.... but the surname he mentioned was unfamiliar to us. This sort of thing has occurred previously. The person on the line was informed that there was no one by that name at this number, and he promptly hung up. In our previous encounters, they’ve often replied with something along the lines of, “No worries, perhaps I could discuss...”

A bloke rang me asking if I was the homeowner. When I asked who he was, he just repeated his question like I should've known already. I told him to give me his name first and asked if it was a cold call. Then he got pretty hostile, threatening to check with the council to find out who I was. I didn't want to deal with it anymore, so I hung up and blocked the number. Felt really confrontational and quite harassing to me.

Honestly, felt like he was just being rude for no reason. He rang our number, mum politely said “no thanks, but cheers for ringing”. Then he called again straight away, and mum repeated “sorry, no thanks”. That’s when he started swearing at her, calling her a horrible name for not paying attention. Mum was shocked and replied, “Did you really just swear at me? I’m well within my rights to say no in my own home.” He didn’t back down and said she should bloody listen to him. Proper cheeky behaviour.

Some bloke rang up saying he was carrying out a government energy survey. When I told him my number was ex-directory and asked for the company’s name so I could report them, he suddenly got really shouty and said he couldn’t follow what I was saying. I ended the call there. Then he tried ringing back, got onto my partner instead, but after a bit, my partner just cut the call when it became obvious the guy was having trouble making himself clear.

They kept asking for the person who owns the house, but I told them it wasn’t me. Still, they went on about some energy stuff. Eventually, I lost patience, hung up, and blocked the number straight away.

So this bloke rang up askin for the owner of the house, but I couldn’t catch what company he was from. Then he started quizzin me about how I heat the place, and when I said electric, he kinda sounded off. After that, he asked if I had solar panels, and when I told him I just got tubes, no panels, he wasn’t happy either. Next thing I know, he just hangs up on me. Typical.

Got a call from this bloke, Steven, claiming to be from some energy firm but wouldn’t say which one. At first, he asked about my late husband, which I found odd. I told him I wasn’t interested, but he called back. I said again I didn’t want anything and ended the call, but then he phoned once more and started shouting, calling us "you ef****ing people." Proper rude!

Some bloke rang me saying he was from an energy company, offering a gov grant for heating that supposedly helps save energy. I told him I’m not on benefits so wouldn’t qualify, then he asked if my earnings were above £31.5k. Didn’t fancy sharing, so I kept quiet, and he said I could get the grant if I earned below that amount. I told him my number shouldn’t even be on their call list and that his firm was using it without permission. After I hung up, they called right back twice more, but I cut them off both times.

Typical scenario, really. An unfamiliar number rang just before midday. We decided against answering and allowed it to roll over to the voicemail. Not a word was spoken; they just abandoned the call. This seems to be a regular occurrence with what I suspect are spammy, unsolicited, random calls.

Got a ring from 0118 2112865, some bloke asked if I was the householder before going on about double glazing and central heating. I cut him off straightaway, saying mine was replaced less than a decade ago, which was the cut-off he mentioned. He kept babbling, so I told him the exact year we swapped our heating and windows, pointed out the "simple maths" meant I wouldn’t qualify for whatever deal he was pushing. Then he just called me a "mad ####" and ended the call!
