01182301872 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01182301872 👆 is reported as a persistent scam linked to unsolicited calls about loft insulation inspections. Callers, often using a female British accent, refuse to disclose company names and pressure recipients for information, then abruptly hang up if challenged. They employ multiple local UK numbers with slight variations to bypass call blocking, frequently leaving no messages. Many users mark these calls as aggressive or suspicious, advising to ignore and block them. The consensus warns of high-pressure tactics and potential fraud. It is recommended to report such calls to police cybercrime units or action fraud to aid in combating these scams, as standard blocking or TPS registrations offer limited protection. Users are reminded to stay vigilant and share experiences to help others avoid falling victim.
Reports on phone number 01182301872
3 yearsGot a call from a woman with a London accent, said something about checking my loft insulation. She asked when I last had it looked at. Told her I didn’t need any inspection. Then she just ended the call. Didn’t mention any company or who she was from. Totally feels like a scam to me. Honestly, these sorts of callers should be banned for good.London3 yearsThey tried scamming me, so I just blocked the number right away.3 yearsGot a call from some bot pretending to do insulation work, total scam.3 yearsGot a call earlier today saying my house needed checking because of dodgy loft insulation and bad cavity insulation. They kept pushing even after I said no. Ended up hanging up. Seemed really fishy to me.3 yearsBeware of 01182301872, looks like a total scam number.3 yearsGot a call from a woman with a British accent, totally out of the blue. She wouldn't tell me which company she was with. Then she went on about 'rock wool insulation in my attic' and said there were surveyors 'in my neighbourhood' who could check my current insulation today - what a coincidence! Clearly, this firm has zero respect for the worthless TPS. Just hung up, ignored, and blocked the number.Telephone Preference Service3 yearsThis number has been banging my phone for the past two days straight again!3 yearsI got a call on my landline from 01182301872, but when I picked up, there was complete silence on the other end.3 yearsWatch out, these folks are definitely trying to scam you and steal from you. Total scammers.3 yearsAt 9:11 I got a call from 011182301872, then they rang back again at 9:17. Shortly after, around 9:23, another number 01182308085 called me too. Didn’t leave any voicemail or anything.3 yearsWhat a nuisance! I really hope they never have to ring their own elderly mum and that she doesn’t accidentally hurt herself. Maybe then the caller would have something more important to worry about, but who knows?3 yearsThey’re still at it! Just got a ring from 01182300029… honestly, how many different numbers are they gonna use?3 yearsThis number has rung me a few times, but they never leave a message. Tried to block it but my block list is full so couldn’t do anything. Ended up just deleting the calls anyway.3 yearsA woman with a posh London accent rang me earlier. It took a while for the call to fully connect. Without even saying who she was, she launched straight into some spiel about fiberglass insulation. I said I was tied up and couldn’t talk. She kept going on about an engineer who’d supposedly ring in a few minutes to set up an appointment. I repeated that I was busy, but she kept pushing, like I’d somehow made things difficult for her by answering the phone. Eventually, she gave up and ended the call. Really annoying.London3 yearsGot a call from a woman going on about how my insulation isn't up to scratch and is making my place damp. Felt a bit like a dodgy sales pitch or maybe even a scam.3 yearsWithin just a few minutes, I got several calls from this number. Since I use BT caller protect, which makes callers give their name before the call goes through, they just hung up straight away. Sounds like a typical scam to me, because if they were legit, they’d just say who they are. I’d say it’s best to just ignore any calls from this number or any that look similar, as they like to keep changing it slightly.BT Caller Protect3 yearsThey kept ringing me up over and over, each time with a different extension number - classic insulation scam if you ask me. Definitely steer clear of these lot!3 yearsGot a call from some insulation folk I'd never heard of, tried to sell me stuff. I just switched out my old worn-out fibreglass rubbish for 300ml of recycled polyester. Me and a friend sorted it ourselves, and honestly, the heating bills dropped by nearly a third. Proper toasty now! 🤓👍3 yearsI've been getting calls from loads of numbers that look very alike, definitely the same lot every time. They never bother to leave a message, which is a bit annoying. Glad to have come across some other comments from folks who are also getting these pest calls. I’m just gonna keep blocking ’em and not answer.3 yearsReceived a call from someone purporting to be from an energy firm, stating they were offering complimentary loft insulation assessments for our street. I'm rather dubious about this number! Exercise caution, everyone!3 yearsI got a few calls all within an hour from 0118 230, but each was on a different extension - 8085, then 0029, and later 1872. None of them said a word. Straight to block from me.3 yearsLooks like I got caught up in one of those scams about insulation. Pretty dodgy stuff.3 yearsNo idea who that was - just silent on the other end.3 yearsI got back later and found 4 missed calls from that number all within half an hour. No voicemail or anything, which was a bit odd. Looking it up, I saw loads of people have had problems with those digits. Honestly, lucky I wasn’t there to answer!3 yearsDodgy insulation call! Felt like one of those total rip-offs. Wouldn't trust it at all.3 yearsEvery time I pick up they just cut off or don’t bother leaving a message on my answering machine. I’m proper fed up with these idiots ringing me, especially when it’s right at tea time for the past three days. They keep switching up the last four digits to get around the blocks I’ve set. Numbers so far include 01182301872, 01182302166, 01182308316... I’m sure there’s more coming. Honestly, they should be tracked down and slapped with a hefty fine ASAP.3 yearsThey stayed quiet for like half a minute and then just cut the call off.3 yearsCont/-2 At one stage, they mentioned they would get a nearby firm that does these checks to ring me back and sort out my queries, but then they just kept repeating the same questions. I told them I wouldn’t reply unless they gave me the name of their company, and then they quickly apologised for wasting my time and ended the call! You could really hear their frustration and heavy sighs every time I pushed back - if they hadn’t been so irritable and impatient, I might’ve been more willing to listen!3 yearsGot a call from some automated system. If you don’t say anything, it just disconnects straight away. Total spam, really annoying.3 yearsSo, I picked up the phone and a lady who said her name was Jo, sounded quite friendly, told me she was calling for a few energy companies regarding free loft insulation checks. When I asked which company she was actually with, she didn’t want to say and just kept going on about representing multiple energy providers. Then she began asking loads of questions without giving any proper details. It all felt a bit dodgy. Cont/-1Jo3 yearsToday I missed a call from 01182301872 at 10:09 but didn’t pick up and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail. Earlier this morning, I also got two calls from 01182308297, one at 9:02 and another at 9:08, plus another from 01182302166 around 9:16. I’ve been on the TPS list for ages without any problems, but these calls only began popping up this year.Telephone Preference Service3 yearsNo idea who it was, left it missin'.3 yearsGot a call on my landline earlier but I didn't pick up. Been getting quite a few dodgy calls from Reading recently and I don’t know anyone down that way. They didn’t leave a message either, so I’m pretty sure it was just another scam. I've blocked the number now.Reading3 yearsI kept saying "hello" about a dozen times but no one picked up straight away - clearly a call centre with loads of ringing. They refused to say who they were, and when I acted like I didn’t live there and had no idea about loft insulation, they just suddenly ended the call. Total scam, no doubt!3 yearsI’ve noticed loads of calls from numbers beginning with 0118230. After getting fed up, I ended up blocking that entire series. When I tried talking, they just talked right over me and wouldn’t let me say a word. Eventually, I had to hang up. Watch out for these, they’re really frustrating!3 yearsSome woman rang me up claiming to be conducting a survey about glass fibre loft insulation. She was pushing me quick to answer loads of questions, which felt a bit dodgy. When I asked her which company she was calling from, she just suddenly dropped the call. I’m not sure if it’s a straight up scam or some clever sales tactic, but I’d say best to avoid getting involved with these calls.3 yearsI didn't get any voicemail. This number seems familiar, I think I’ve seen it pop up a few times earlier.3 yearsJust got a call from this number and I didn’t even get to speak, they hung up after a few seconds without leaving a message. Starting to think this might be a bit of harassment.3 yearsToday I got called three times from a 0118 230 number (the last four digits were different each time). Whenever I let it go to voicemail, the call just gets cut off. Gotta admit, they sure don't give up easily!Submit Your Own Report (0118 230 1872)
