Phone number ☎️ 01183388815 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance originating from call centres, often with overseas accents, typically claiming to represent energy companies, HMRC, or offering loft insulation surveys. Callers frequently use deceptive tactics, including false callbacks, refusal to take no for an answer, attempts to record conversations without consent, and inaccurate personal details to persuade recipients. Many report no voicemail left, with calls often ending abruptly or hanging up quickly. The numbers are widely recognised as scams, with several users advising blocking immediately and avoiding sharing any personal or business information. The volume and aggression of these calls have caused significant frustration, prompting strong warnings against engagement and urging regulatory action to curb these intrusive and potentially harmful fraudulent activities.

2 yearsThis woman named Serena called me, sounded like she had an accent from abroad and said she worked for Valda Energy. She started asking stuff about our energy contract. I had a feeling it was a scam straight away. I told her we don't share any details on calls and asked her to send an email instead.SerenaValda Energy2 yearsHad some dodgy call from what sounded like Indian guys trying to sell energy plans. Told them to jog on right quick.India2 yearsGot a dodgy call from some energy company claiming to be legit but it was clearly a scam. The lady spoke perfect BBC accent but in the background you could hear other voices chatting in some Indian language. What’s worse, about 15 minutes before this we received a call from 0113 468 4445 checking if our number was active. Turns out both these numbers are run through Gamma Telecom, so definitely watch out!BBCGamma Telecoms2 yearsJust got a call from some place pretending to be about energy deals, but it's all a scam. Don't fall for anything they say over the phone, it's definitely dodgy.2 yearsKeeps calling me but just ends the call straight away.2 yearsGot a call asking to speak to the director of the company about our energy provider.2 yearsGot a random call from someone pushing electric services.3 yearsConstant energy calls, they just didn't listen to me saying no. Ended up blocking them.3 yearsGot a call about my energy bill, just typical marketing rubbish.3 yearsV Marketing claimed they spoke with me last week and set up a callback, which was totally untrue. What an idiot. They called about an Energy Account, which we don't even possess. Just an absolute scammer.V Marketing3 yearsThe caller said something like "D Marketing?" and began by telling me the call was being recorded. I told them I wasn’t comfortable being recorded by a stranger and didn’t know why. They then asked who my energy supplier was, I repeated that I didn’t want to be recorded and then they just hung up.D Marketing3 yearsThey said they were ringing about our business energy deal.3 yearsCould hear loads of noise from a call centre on the other end. The bloke was asking to talk to someone about our company’s gas and electric setup. Didn’t sound like our usual provider, especially since he never said who he was. When I mentioned the person who handles that stuff wasn’t free, he started asking for loads of info which I refused to give. He finished by saying he’d ring again later.5 yearsGot a call from 01183 388815 about some "recovery business seminar" for small businesses hit hard by COVID. They claimed the tickets were "free" but asked for full details of two people interested in going! The way they spoke made it seem like it was one of those call centres from Asia.Asia5 yearsHad a call from someone asking if I'd do a survey on local banks. Told her I wasn't interested and she suddenly went from being all friendly to really annoyed!5 yearsJust got a call from TKVS, they wanted to chat with someone in our marketing team.TKVS5 yearsI ignored the call since the number was unfamiliar. Probably for the best! Unsurprisingly, they left no voicemail.5 yearsI get scam calls pretty often. Didn’t know this number so I just let it ring out. No voicemail or anything left. I looked it up on this site afterwards and have blocked it now.5 yearsI tried using CallApp to identify the number. The profile showed something about loft insulation. The call got blocked since another user tagged it as spam. Seems pretty likely it's a dodgy HMRC scam to me.CallAppHMRC5 yearsSent straight to voicemail.5 yearsWhat a dodgy situation! I've noticed they utilise the same number, just with a different digit at the end, specifically a 4. It was quite irritating, as they persistently rang me, switching between both numbers when I failed to pick up.5 yearsNot sure who that was, they kept messing up my name, so I just ended the call and blocked them. After reading these comments, I'm glad I did!5 yearsThis is just ridiculous. First off, she couldn't even pronounce my name properly. Then when I asked where they got my number, she claimed I must've signed up somewhere! What a joke. To top it off, she started recording me without any warning!!! Seriously, just BLOCK them all!!!5 yearsSomebody phoned about a loft insulation check and wouldn’t accept a simple no. I asked if I could talk to someone who spoke English properly, and then they just hung up straight away.5 yearsGot calls all day from an Indian lady saying she’s selling loft insulation. Ringing me at 7 in the morning and nonstop after. Marking it as both a nuisance and a scam cause it’s really annoying.5 yearsThis number showed up as possible scam on my phone so I just ignored it.5 yearsGot a call and a message on 2/7/21 around 17:54. I blocked the number.5 yearsDidn’t know the number, no message left on my voicemail so I looked it up here and then just blocked it!5 yearsTotal scam call!5 yearsNo idea who this is. Had calls from numbers like this pretending to be from HMRC before. It’s definitely a scam. Just ignore it and block the number on your phone.HMRC5 yearsThey were calling about loft insulation or something like that. I just ended the call without replying.5 yearsThis number has been ringing non stop but I just don’t pick up. If they’re in the UK, why isn’t there a way to block these calls for good?UK5 yearsDidn’t know the number so I just let it ring. I always check here before calling back. Cheers!5 yearsHad no clue they werent picking up! Looked it up and now I’ve blocked them.5 yearsLooks like they've started up that loft insulation con again.5 yearsIt was HMRC calling.5 yearsThey rang me two times, I picked up and the voice was really weird, like from outer space or something. So I just blocked the number.5 yearsJust got a call about loft insulation - total scam! These people are absolute scumbags and deserve to be put in their place when you speak to them.5 yearsTotal scam, really dodgy and risky.5 yearsGot a call from this number just now. I usually don’t pick up if I don’t recognise the number. Didn’t answer and looked it up here. Seems like a scam. Blocked it straight away and reported it.5 yearsGave me a ring twice earlier on today.5 yearsAfter reading the comments, ive decided to block this number.5 yearsGot a call from 01183388815 but didn’t pick up since I didn’t recognise it. After having a look online, I decided to block it.5 yearsI just ignored the call.5 yearswon't stop ringing - total scam for sure5 yearsI received a rather questionable phone call seemingly tied to a loft insulation survey, which mentioned my name and address. It was linked to local businesses in the insulation sector. They probed for my name, age, whether I reside alone, and what type of insulation I have. Initially, I thought it was a legitimate inquiry, but now I have my reservations. I pride myself on being discerning, and even though I expressed my concerns during the call, the person on the other end was quite persuasive. So, I’d advise everyone to exercise caution and not divulge any personal information. I really regret sharing anything.5 yearsThey keep ringin me, claiming to be HMRC.HMRC5 yearsHMRC keeps ringing me non stop. It's getting really annoying.HMRC5 yearsA bloke phoned asking if the homeowner was there, so I said I didn’t own the place. He said sorry then hung up, so I’m guessing it was something about home insulation.5 yearsI received a call from this number but was alerted to a possible scam, so I decided not to pick up. They didn't leave any voicemail either.5 yearsGot a missed call with no voicemail, so I just blocked the number.5 yearsGot a call at 6:37 this evening from a number I didn’t know so I just let it ring out.

Ended up blocking the number after reading some dodgy reviews.5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, a bloke asked for me by name but I couldn’t catch what he was saying before he ended the call. After seeing the feedback here, I’ve blocked the number. The call came from 0118 338 8815.5 yearsThis phone number isn’t one I normally use, so I didn’t pick up. Most likely it’s a scam call since I barely use that line.5 yearsThey just hung up after like four seconds! I’ve blocked the number already, would seriously suggest you do that too.5 yearsGot calls from this number in Reading two times within a couple of days. They never left a voicemail. Looks like a typical scam to me, so I’ve just blocked it.Reading5 yearsGot a call from them and my phone flagged it as a possible scam. Decided to answer anyway, had no clue who they were, so I just yelled at them to stop bloody calling me!!5 yearsDidn’t pick up, I don’t know anyone from Reading. If it was something important they’d have left a message, but nope! Number’s blocked now.Reading5 yearsSaid they were ringing about some national programme to better insulation.

Looked it up on this site and yep, it was a dodgy number. Blocked it straight away. Cheers to who-called.co.uk for the help!co5 yearsThat 01183388815 number is a scam, best to just block it. People behind it should be found and stopped. It's really nasty and scary stuff, and there’s loads of vulnerable folks who might fall for it. I don’t get how they feel okay doing this. Hope they get what’s coming to them.5 years"Loft insulation survey," yeah right, as if I'd fall for that!5 yearsGot two calls from this number but they just disconnected as soon as I picked up. No one spoke.5 yearsGot a call from a loft insulation firm, but it really felt dodgy and like a scam.5 yearsDidn’t pick up. I’ve no contacts in Reading so figured it was probably a scam.Reading5 yearsDont pick up calls from 01183388815. Its a scam pretendin to be HMRC. Just block the number and stay safe, dont get caught out.HMRC5 yearsThey rang me but didn’t bother leaving a voicemail.5 yearsLoads of unknown numbers keep calling us lately, this was one of those. Whenever it’s not a known number, we just turn on the answer machine so they get hit with the connection fee. Unsurprisingly, they never bother leaving a message. We don’t ring back either in case it’s a premium rate line. Honestly, some people will go to any lengths instead of just working properly.5 yearsGot a text from 0118 3388815 claiming to be HMRC, but it’s a total scam. Watch out!HMRC5 yearsGot a call from this number at 3.26 today, answered it but they just ended the call straight away.

I checked the number here and realised it’s a scam. Really glad I found this website!5 yearsI chose not to pick up the phone when it rang earlier. The call was from Reading, yet I can't fathom why I'd receive a call from there, nor can I think of anyone in that area who would be trying to get in touch with me. Consequently, I decided to let it ring and have since blocked the number! What’s rather disheartening is that these nuisance calls seem to be proliferating from all corners of the country lately... Manchester, Glasgow, Sheffield, Birmingham, even London, and as if that weren't enough, they've even reached my peaceful little enclave in Devon... Bideford! It's truly becoming quite absurd; something ought to be done about it - perhaps a law to prevent such nonsense altogether!ReadingManchesterGlasgowSheffieldBirminghamLondonDevonBideford5 yearsNo idea who this is so I didnt pick up. They just keep ringin me though. Proper annoying.5 yearsNot good at all.5 yearsGot a call on my phone but they dropped before I could pick up, so I looked it up here and yep, it’s a scam number.

When will these guys finally get caught out?HMRC5 yearsCaller was mumbling and I couldn’t make out what he was saying at all.5 yearsIt’s honestly just so annoying!5 yearsWon't stop ringing me.5 yearsReceived a couple of calls from this number.5 yearsGot a call from someone talkin with a strong Indian accent. They said my name but got my address wrong. I just ended the call straight away. Then, six hours later, they called me again. Same thing, they gave me the wrong address once more, so I hung up again.
