8 monthsGot a call out of the blue trying to sell me stuff about solar energy.8 monthsHad a call from some dodgy lot about solar panels - felt like a phishing scam to me. Honestly, best to just ignore and not get involved.8 monthsGot a call from someone pretending to be about solar panels but it was pretty fishy, clearly trying to scam me. They were fishing for my personal details, I didn’t give them anything. Felt like a dodgy phishing attempt to me.8 monthsThey hung up without leaving any message.8 monthsGot a call from a woman, but the connection was so bad I couldn’t make out what she was saying. Still, it definitely felt like a scam to me.8 monthsGot a voicemail from someone claiming to be Visa card security, saying there were dodgy transactions of £399 and £1700 on my card. They told me to press 1 to talk to an "advisor". Total scam for sure - I don't even own a Visa card!8 monthsDidn’t get a voicemail or anything. Saw the other reviews and decided to block the number straight away.8 monthsOn 25/12/11 around 5.20pm, someone called claiming to be Jane from some Solar Energy Advice place. She said I might qualify for a cash offer to help with energy saving. She wanted to know if I own the house. I hesitated a bit and then asked her, "Can you tell me my name?" since I figured she was trying to get my details. Right after that, she just cut the call.JaneSolar Energy Advice8 monthsGot repeated calls from this Reading number, but no one ever picks up. After checking online, loads of people say it’s scammers pushing solar panels and energy stuff. I’ve blocked it now, but I bet they’ll just switch to different numbers. Total scammers!8 monthsI just got one of those weird voicemails where there's like, just total silence for maybe 5 seconds. Really odd.8 monthsI just let it ring out to voicemail, which says something like, if your number isn’t saved on here, I can’t take your call! Of course, they didn’t leave a message. Blocked the number right after.8 monthsGot a call with nobody speaking, so I just went ahead and blocked the number.8 monthsGot a call on 12th November around 9 in the morning, but no one was there. Another number blocked and added to my ever-growing list 🙄8 monthsI never pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise, especially on my landline which is on the TPS. It’s annoying having to dash to the phone just to end up dealing with someone wasting my time. The number’s blocked now, sorted!TPS8 monthsSome energy advisor rang me up, and when I told them I've already got my own wind turbine, they suddenly seemed less interested. They were probably hoping to sell me one!8 monthsSome bloke called “David” claiming to be from “Windows & Doors Ltd” rang me, but I hung up before he could launch into his sales pitch.DavidWindows & Doors Ltd8 monthsGot a call from a number I didn’t know, but as soon as my answerphone started, they just ended the call. Strange!8 monthsWhen my answerphone started, the caller just hung up. I didn’t ask for the call, so to me, it feels like harassment.8 monthsDidn’t want to deal with it, so I just blocked the number straight away. No thanks!8 monthsI hung up as soon as the voicemail started. We never pick up if the number’s unfamiliar... well, at least it shows the phone’s still working lol.8 monthsGot a call about some dodgy solar energy deal, total scam. Best to just ignore it and not answer back.8 monthsi've had about nine calls already today from various numbers, all scams. just pointless and a total waste of time.8 monthsI got a call from someone named Jane, said she was from a solar energy firm.Jane8 monthsGot a robo call from some AI voice telling me I qualify for a solar quote, even though I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list. Luckily, BT flagged the call as suspicious and blocked it. Funny thing is, we actually put our solar panels in about 14 years ago!BT8 monthsGot a call this morning, Friday 31st October 2025, about 10.14am. I didn’t pick up. Guess I’ll chuck the number straight on the block list. This whole thing’s such a pointless and silly hassle!8 monthsGot a call from 011822 95281, no idea who that is. Just blocked it straight away 🚫8 monthsDidn’t get any message on the voicemail.. got a call like that one on the 14th of Oct 2025 and then it came through again on the 15th.8 monthsNo voicemail left by the caller, and my phone's set up to block any calls without a message. I’ve got a feeling it’s a scam, so best not to pick up or share any info at all!8 monthsI got a call from this number today but no message left, so I’m guessing it was probably a wrong number. If it was important, surely they would’ve left a voicemail. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now, don’t wanna get bothered by them by mistake again.8 monthsGot a call with no answer, just silence. Ended up blocking the number right away. Checked another website and it said the call came from Torphichen in Scotland, then switched to Reading afterwards.TorphichenScotlandReading8 monthsThe moment I picked up, a smooth-talking voice without any accent started rattling on about some government thing offering free energy. It was meant to seem like a normal person chatting to me, but I laughed and said, “Is this pre-recorded or what?!” before hanging up straight away. Definitely not some pushy salesperson, just a proper scam attempt.8 monthsGot a call I couldnt answer and no voicemail either - usually means its some kinda scam. Reading the comments here just confirms what I thought.9 monthsGot another call with no one speaking on the end, and they didn’t even bother leaving a voicemail.9 monthsSo this bloke James called claiming he was some sort of local energy advisor. I told him Reading isn’t exactly close to Exeter, and guess what? He just ended the call straight away!JamesReadingExeter9 monthsTHIS HAS TO BE A SCAM! I’m nowhere close to Birmingham, so there’s no way this person could be my “local energy advisor.” Totally fishy.Birmingham9 monthsGot a recorded call with a lady's voice saying I might qualify for solar panels. Then she asked if I owned the house. Just hung up and blocked straight away.9 monthsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but they didn’t leave any voicemail.9 monthsGot a call but they didn’t leave a voicemail. I’m just gonna block that number now.9 monthsI got a call about double glazing, which was odd since I’m on the TPS list and already sorted my windows and doors. Isn’t cold calling banned these days? How are they still getting through?TPS9 monthsGot a call today from someone claiming to do lift insulation but the number showed up as a nuisance call on my caller ID. Definitely sounded like a scam to me!9 monthsTotal rubbish, I think it was one of those automated calls about home assistance. Definitely a recorded voice.9 monthsThis morning, I got a call on my old landline, which is on the TPS list. A young bloke was really pushy about a deal happening in my 'postcode area' for 'windows and doors'. I asked straight away how he even had my number, and after that, he was quite polite and just hung up.TPS9 monthsGot a call from David about some kind of windows and doors deal in our local area. He was checking if we were eligible for it. Told him we're a company and registered with the TPS, so I just ended the chat.DavidTPS9 monthsSomeone rang saying they had a good deal on solar panel installs. I told them my number is on the TPS list and they just hung up straight away.TPS9 monthsThis number has rung me about four times already, so I decided to check it out. Definitely won't be picking up if they call again.9 monthsGot a call from some unknown number but I dont answer calls from ex-directory or ones on the tps list, especially landlines. No voicemail or anything left behind, so I reckon it was just another spam call. Its really frustrating and feels like harassment, particularly for older folks or people with disabilities who might find it hard to reach the phone.9 monthsSome bloke called himself David from Windows and Doors, asked how I was doing. I just muttered a swear and hung up hard, while he kept going, “...please don’t hang up...” This number had buzzed me the day before too, but I wasn’t home. Checked my 1571 and it was just dead silence.David9 monthsCame back from a stroll and noticed on my landline's 1571 that a number had rung me around 12:38 today (15-10-25). When I listened, there was nothing but a bit of silence, no message left. Didn't bother returning the call.9 monthsSome bloke ring me up out the blue, trying to pitch a new driveway, but I told him straight away we’re in a flat so no driveway needed.9 monthsI answered but stayed quiet, then shouted out something like “If you’re not gonna talk, why ring me?” along with a few choice words. They just ended the call after that.9 monthsGot a call from someone called John, who said he was from the "driveway centre". He was asking if I fancied getting my driveway resurfaced cheaper in return for featuring it in some kind of promo brochure. I wasn’t convinced at all and turned it down straight away - felt like a dodgy deal to me.John9 monthsAnswered the call and quickly ended it. Typical spam nonsense.9 monthsGot a call on my home phone from this number, no idea how they found me. Didn’t pick up, and honestly, why call if you’re not gonna say anything?! After reading these comments I thought I’d try ringing them back - still dead silence. Proper strange behaviour if you ask me.9 monthsReceived a call from this number but no message was left; BT tagged it as a nuisance caller.BT9 monthsGot a call from some firm trying to sell windows and doors. Didn’t seem right, sounded more like a sales pitch than anything else. Probably a place that just goes door-to-door ringing random numbers. Not interested.9 monthsThis windows firm seems really sketchy. Total scam artists.9 monthsI picked up but there was no one speaking. The audio was really bad.9 monthsLet the machine get it, but they didn’t leave any message.9 monthsMissed the call before it ended. The number was unfamiliar so I didn’t bother calling back.9 monthsDidn’t pick up as the number wasn’t familiar. They kept calling over and over, really annoyin. Think it’s probably spam, so I just ignore calls from numbers I don’t know.9 monthsThe call was terrible quality, the bloke said he was 'David' from 'Windows and Doors Limited' with a British accent. I told him I already have windows and doors at my place and ended the call. They never rang back.DavidWindows and Doors Limited9 monthsGot calls from double glazing sales people, they just ignore the TPS completely.TPS9 monthsGot rid of them right after picking up.9 monthsSomeone just rang me but I didn’t pick up since I didn’t know the number. They didn’t leave a voicemail or anything.10 monthsGot a call from some firm trying to sell me new windows and doors. Told them I already got some, then they offered a 30% discount to replace them. I joked I’d save 100% if I just kept mine. They hung up pretty quick after that.10 monthsGot a call from David about windows and doors, even though my number’s on the TPS list. When I asked for their contact info to report them, they just cut me off!DavidTPS10 monthsGot a call on my landline but no one spoke when I answered.
