Reports on phone number 01183246832
5 yearsIt seems the loft insulation sales outfit has been put on the blocked list. The call I received was just a pre-recorded message saying, "Hello, I'm Chris, your local energy consultant." Quite the nuisance, really!Chris6 yearsGot another call about insulation possibly causing damp at my place. When I asked if they had any details about when the insulation was fitted, they just went quiet. Ended up hanging up and blocked the number. Annoying though, as I keep getting calls like this even though my number’s unlisted.6 yearsSomeone claiming to be from the UK Advisory ECO Innovations Group rang me about some loft insulation they’d fitted not long ago, saying it was causing dampness due to condensation. They wanted to set up a time to come and inspect it. When I asked where they got my information from, the call suddenly cut off. The number used was 01620 282092.UK Advisory ECO Innovations Group6 yearsGot a missed call from this number so I checked it out. Looks like just another one of those annoying cold call scams. I'm out here in a tiny village called Insch, Aberdeenshire, right up north in Scotland.ScotlandInschAberdeenshire6 yearsLately I’ve had a bunch of calls about loft insulation and damp issues, but when I answer, it’s just silence. It’s really annoying! Seems like some sort of spam or telemarketer trying to get through.6 yearsHad a call from Ed, the usual government-funded spiel. I told him straight up, "No government gear here, mate, jog on!" And wouldn't you know it, he just ended the call. Thought we were actually hitting it off too!6 yearsGave some guy from government insulation a piece of my mind, told him to quit calling me as it’s illegal cold-calling. Said don’t bother phoning again or else.6 yearsGot a ring on my mobile from this number, but I didn’t pick up since I tend to ignore unknown callers. If it’s something important, they can always leave a voicemail and I’ll get back to them. After having a look at the reviews though, looks like they might just be a regular pain.6 yearsHe started chatting about some government-backed insulation deal. I said we don’t have any, then he just hung up.6 yearsI got another call from Ed, said he was from Government Funding. Instantly knew it was a scam. Asked him to quit ringing me and asked where he'd copied my number from, but he just went quiet. Before, I usually just hang up as soon as he says his name and what it’s about. He seriously needs to be tracked down and blocked.EdGovernment Funding6 yearsSome bloke named Ed rang me saying he was from the government about flood relief money or something, then just ended the call. I've had flooding at my place lately, but I'm sure they dont have my work phone on record, which is where they called me. Bit strange really. If they'd called my personal phone instead, I might have believed it more. Just a heads up to anyone else.Ed6 yearsSome bloke named Ed rang me up saying the insulation I’d just got put in was gonna lead to damp problems and insisted I needed a damp survey done. He was obviously just going through a scripted spiel, so I told him exactly that before ending the call.Ed6 yearsLoads of calls from various numbers recently. Just today I got one from 0118 324 6832, couldn’t get the bloke’s name though. He was on about insulation, like I’d heard before. I asked if he was a real person or just a robot, but he kept rattling through his script. Asked again if he was human or a machine, and then he just hung up. Also had calls from 01257 733213 - asked if their product was free and he said definitely NOT, so I told him I wasn’t interested and he dropped the call. And other numbers too, like 01256 830913 and 07584 011943 have been ringing as well.6 yearsGot a call from 011832 46832 saying he was from some government advice help about my insulation put in before. I explained it wasn’t the right number for me, then he just hung up straight away!6 yearsGot a call from Tom today, claiming the insulation we had done ages ago might be faulty and causing damp issues. When I asked if he knew which company did it, he went on and on about being from some government agency checking these installations. I told him to provide proof, didn’t give any personal info, and then he just ended the call!Tom6 yearsHad a call from 01183246832 about three times today.6 yearsBeware of Tom, the insulation con artist who's back at it. He rings from loads of different numbers. Always make sure to report these kinds of calls to the police. Just search 'action fraud', then head over to the 'police.uk' page, find the 'reporting' tab and lodge a report about the scam. You don’t need to sign up or anything.Tom6 yearsA bloke named "Tom" rang me claiming he was with some UK Advisory Innovations Group - didn’t hear anything about ECO though. It was all about loft insulation, similar to what others have mentioned here. He told me I’d get another phone in a couple of weeks. After he hung up, I checked the number with 1471 and saw it was 01435 205089. That number isn’t even flagged as dodgy anywhere. I was a bit sceptical about the call and decided to look it up online, glad I did because I found some useful info here.TomUK Advisory Innovations Group7 yearsGot a call from 01202 925381, a bloke called Tom who said he was with the "UK Advisory Eco Innovations Group". He wanted a word about my loft insulation, claiming it could be the reason for condensation. I asked if he was working for a private firm or a government agency, and he claimed it was a government department. When I asked how he got my details since my husband had the loft insulated ages ago, he just ended the call on me. I got this number by checking 1471 after the call.TomUK Advisory Eco Innovations Group7 yearsI picked up but there was nobody speaking, kind of reminds me of a dodgy insulation scam call I got a while ago.7 yearsAs soon as I questioned who it was and what they wanted, they just ended the call on me.7 yearsJust got a call from some guy named Tom about loft insulation. I told him to remove me from their list, yet he phoned again about five minutes later. When I picked up, he just hung up straight away. So annoying!Tom7 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming to be part of a government-backed loft insulation project. They were literally reading off a script the whole time. When I asked for their name and what organisation they were with, they just hung up on me. Proper dodgy if you ask me.7 yearsI've had more than my fair share of those annoying spam calls lately! This one number keeps ringing but never bothers to leave a voicemail. I've blocked it now, but when I checked my block list, it turns out they've tried calling me four times already. So frustrating!7 yearsI recently got a call from someone saying his name was Tom and that he was with UK Advisory eco innovations or something like that. He told me the loft insulation I had done was causing mould and condensation in homes. He kept pestering me about my age and if I was the one making decisions or if family helped out. When I tried to ask him questions, he just wouldn’t answer. It all felt pretty dodgy so I just ended the call. This was the second time I’d been contacted, though I’m not certain if it was from the same number. Honestly, be careful - seems like some kind of scam to me.TomUK Advisory Eco Innovations Group7 yearsI didn't pick up the phone, and honestly, probably for the best.7 yearskept ringing but no one picked up.7 yearsThey just ended the call as soon as I asked them who it was and what they wanted.7 yearsGot the same call, they were claiming to be from a govt-backed loft insulation programme.7 yearsI asked them who was on the line, and as soon as I did, they just hung up.7 yearsI got a call from someone who kept talking about a government backed program or something like that. Was a bit suspicious, sounded like one of them scams. Definitely made me hang up quick.7 yearsI've had enough of this number; it’s quite bothersome and seems to be a fraudulent call - the number in question is 0118 324n6832.7 yearsAs soon as I asked who they were trying to reach, they just hung up on me.7 yearsGot a call out of the blue from someone named Tom about loft insulation. He claimed I'd signed up for some government scheme for extra insulation, but then switched gears and said the insulation was actually harming my house. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Tom7 yearsGot a call from some place called ###### ####### eco ###### or something like that. Didn't sound legit at all, felt like a made-up name. They acted like a proper person tho, so I asked what their company was. If I ever wanted insulation work done, I'd just reach out to my usual service provider, not some random company like that.7 yearsTom has rung me three times within an hour about loft insulation, but I’ve just worked out it’s a robo-call! The message is always the same, and twice I’ve tried to talk back and he’s just cut me off. Seems like a total con to me, and I reckon these automated calls must be against the rules.Tom7 yearsHad a couple of calls from Tom earlier today. Every time I answered, he just ended the call. Something to do with loft insulation, I think.Tom7 yearsHad a call from Tom about some loft insulation we supposedly got. I asked him what loft insulation he meant, and he just hung up on me.Tom7 yearsThey told me my loft insulation needed to be done again, like it was no good anymore.7 yearsI got two calls earlier today from someone claiming they'd been trying to reach me about a government-funded loft installation. Total scam, honestly. Why aren’t these folks getting reported or shut down by the police yet? It’s really frustrating.Submit Your Own Report (0118 324 6832)
