01183389915 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01183389915 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting UK residents with unsolicited calls about loft insulation. Callers falsely claim to represent energy or green standards organisations, often using different but similar numbers to avoid blocking. They pressure recipients with misleading information about mould, condensation, or outdated insulation, offering free surveys that may lead to unnecessary charges or unsafe work. Many calls occur despite recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service. Callers frequently hang up when questioned or fail to provide verifiable details. No messages are typically left, and calls often originate from various spoofed or local numbers. Users are strongly advised not to engage, never disclose personal information, and report such calls to authorities and telecom providers to help combat this fraudulent activity.
Reports on phone number 01183389915
3 yearsThis number seems to be associated with scammers, and I've noticed it shares similarities with a few others where only the last two digits have been altered.3 yearsI recently had an experience with Avanti recruitment agency.Avanti4 yearsOn 21st Feb 2022 I got a call from someone saying he was Patrick, a local energy advisor. The weird thing was there was a silence when I picked up the phone before he actually spoke. If you're expecting a crucial call, this kind of interruption is really irritating. Plus, since my number is on the Xdirectory, this felt like one of those unsolicited calls.Patrick4 yearsThey rang but didn’t bother to leave any message.4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with RHS, but I'm not too sure why they rang me. I think I'll actually ring RHS myself just to check.RHS4 yearsI was in the middle of a meeting when this number rang on my landline. I’m on the TPS list, so I have no clue why they managed to get through. Definitely going to block it!TPS4 yearsGot a call on my house phone that hardly ever rings, so I figured it was dodgy. The person claimed to be from the energy supplier and said my place had old insulation up in the loft causing damp patches. Before they could carry on, I said “Cheers for the heads up, I’ll sort that out,” then ended the call and blocked the number straight away.4 yearsThey keep ringing me but don’t bother leaving a message. I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise, so I’ve no idea who these annoying scammers are. They clearly don’t care about registering with the TPS and even switch up the last digit every time they call. Proper shady.4 yearsThis number keeps ringing but never leaves a message, which is quite annoying. I tend to ignore calls from unknown numbers, so I suppose I’ll remain in the dark about who these bothersome scammers are. It seems they’re intentionally bypassing the TPS list. What’s more, they keep tweaking the last digit of their number to dodge being blocked! Quite the nuisance, really.4 yearsHad some missed calls from a number I didn't recognise, so I looked it up and, judging by the reviews, it seems a bit dodgy. Definitely not one I'd trust.4 yearsI got two calls from someone who said his name was Patrick. On the second call, he claimed to be calling from the Eco Guidance Centre in West London. He told me my insulation was the "old kind," which is completely wrong. When I asked him where he’d gotten that info from, he just hung up on me.PatrickEco Guidance CentreWest London4 yearsCall minder picked up instead of me.4 yearsSimply got cut off.4 yearsI've got two calls already from someone named Patrick, claiming he's from the Eco Guidance Centre over in West London. Both times, he was pushing a free loft survey. The first time he rang me, it was from an 0118 area code. Even after me asking multiple times, he wouldn’t say which company’s insulation he was actually promoting. Honestly, I’m pretty sure these 'surveys' are just a con.PatrickEco Guidance CentreWest London4 yearsThat was definitely a scam, if you ask me.4 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Patrick, saying he wanted to do a survey on my loft insulation. He claimed it was out of date and causing damp and condensation. Pretty sure it was just a sly way to get me to pay for new insulation. Told him I wasn’t interested, and he wasn’t too happy about that! Total rubbish if you ask me.Patrick4 yearsI didn’t pick up the call and they didn’t leave any voicemail either.4 yearsGot a call from someone named Alex on the 21st of February at 12.08. He said he was ringing from the Green Guideline Centre based in London. He went on and on about how the government has these energy efficiency rules and how our postcode was one of the last ones eligible for some kind of scheme. When I asked for his company's website or any proof to check them out, he just cut the call straight away! Sounds like a proper scam to me!AlexGreen Guideline CentreLondon4 yearsLooks like this number is linked to some dodgy activity. I’d recommend blocking it straight away.4 yearsGot a call from someone saying he was an energy advisor for my area. He mentioned he knew I owned the property but didn’t really give any details to prove it. Felt like a typical cold call to me.4 yearsGot a call from someone named "Chris" claiming to be from Energy Specialists. I told him straight away that I wasn’t interested and asked him not to ring me again, also to erase all my info under GDPR. Pretty sure none of that’ll actually happen. Aren’t these spammy calls supposed to be banned nowadays?ChrisEnergy4 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise, but no message was left because as soon as I picked up the answerphone kicked in.4 yearsThis has got scam written all over it. They're likely after your personal and banking info. Best to just block that number.4 yearsI tried ringing the landline two times already, but no one picked up either call and there was no option to leave a message.4 yearsHad one of those insulation scam calls again, seems to be a favourite on Monday mornings.4 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but as soon as I picked up, they hung up. My phone line just went dead right after.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to offer loft insulation deals, sounded dodgy to me. Definitely a scammer trying to rip people off. Watch out for them!4 yearsI don’t usually pick up calls from strange numbers like 0118 or anything like that. After checking online, it seems like one of those scam numbers. They didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail. If it was important, surely they’d leave a message, right?4 yearsNot sure but sounds like a scam or maybe some dodgy insulation company trying to sell something.4 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming to be from the energy company, said my place wasn’t energy efficient enough and pushed for me to get extra insulation. I told him no thanks and just ended the call.4 yearsTotal scam alert. I always avoid answering calls from unknown numbers. Most of the time, they're fishing for your bank info or other personal stuff. Better safe than sorry!4 yearsGot a call from some scammer using one of those auto-dial systems.4 yearsI usually pick up if it’s a number I recognise or if they leave a voicemail. These calls get tagged as Dangerous since scammers often target vulnerable folks, which is really worrying.4 yearsI'm on the TPS list but still got a random cold call. Didn't even let them say their piece before hanging up.4 yearsThe number wasnt familiar so i just ignored the call, probably some sort of scam i reckon.4 yearsGot a call on my home phone but they didn’t say anything or leave a voicemail.4 yearsI've gotten a call twice now about loft insulation. It's all automated stuff, with pre-recorded questions and remarks, but they use some tricky software to make it seem like a real person is talking back. Definitely feels like a scam to me.4 yearsPhone rang but nobody answered the call.4 yearsName’s Patrick, and I’m the local rep for this region. When they called, I asked what specific area they cover, and they just hung up straight away!! This is just one of a bunch of calls like this I’ve been getting lately. Honestly thinking next time I might just let whoever it is carry on with their sales pitch while I get on with the washing up!Patrick4 yearsPicked up the phone, but all I got was complete silence. No background noise or anything, definitely wasn’t one of those busy call centre calls. Just dead quiet.4 yearsJust got a call from 01183389915, something about insulation I think? They mentioned being on some kind of list or register, but wasn't too clear. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.4 yearsI asked about a free loft insulation check and got given a code, then I said I'd need to talk to my husband, and suddenly he just disappeared.4 yearsI didnt know the number so I let it go to voicemail. It stayed quiet for ages, no one said a word.4 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number but they didn’t bother leaving a message. I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know cause of all the scams going around. If it was someone legit, they’d leave a voicemail. Same goes for anyone acting decent. So yeah, this number screams neither legit nor polite, not someone I want to deal with!4 yearsThis number has called loads of times and we never pick up. They never bother leaving a voicemail, so honestly, like many others do, we just assume it’s some sort of scam.4 yearsAvoid picking up if these numbers ring you: 01183389910, 01183389915, 01417298579, 02037477632, 01135214062, 02037477623, 01914265606. It's the same lot behind all of them, attempting to scam folks. This isn't just a one-off thing; they use loads of different numbers to bug people. Seriously, report them to the police and also get British Telecom involved. If you see any of these numbers popping up, block them immediately and make sure you let the authorities know. Don’t let them keep bothering innocent people like this!British TelecomDON4 yearsGot a call about loft insulation from some power energy company. Bit suspicious if you ask me.4 yearsGot a ring from 01183389915 today. The person said my place was listed on some kind of government register and even claimed to know what kind of loft insulation was installed. They went on about how the insulation might be causing damp and mould issues. Then, they said they were organising a visit for a survey. When I explained I was only the cleaner and not the owner, they just hung up straight away. Didn’t think twice about blocking that number afterwards!4 yearsNo idea who that was, they just hung up. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.4 yearsReceived a call from a mysterious number today. They didn’t bother to leave a voicemail, which isn’t surprising. I’ve adopted a strict policy of ignoring calls from numbers I don’t recognise, primarily due to the sheer number of scams floating about nowadays. A legitimate caller would definitely take the time to leave a message, wouldn’t they? And a courteous individual would do the same. So, it stands to reason that this number belongs to someone who isn’t sincere or considerate. Not exactly someone I’m keen to engage with!4 yearsI reckon it was one of those insulation scams. Best to just avoid dealing with them altogether.4 yearsGot a call from someone trying to scam me.4 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise. Didn’t pick up and they left no voicemail or message.4 yearsGot a call from someone who called himself Patrick, claiming to be with an energy company around here but never bothered to say which one. Felt dodgy, so I hung up and blocked the number straight away. Total scam, watch out!Patrick4 yearsGot a call from a company about my loft insulation possibly causing damp, like something I saw on a BBC article. They said I could get a free loft check-up and wanted to set up an inspection, but I said no thanks.BBC4 yearsThey called once before about loft insulation, but this time it was dead silent when I answered.4 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, but it’s always silent on the other end. It’s honestly quite unsettling, and it puts me on edge every time my phone rings. I really think there ought to be stricter regulations to stop these kinds of nuisance calls. When someone dials an incorrect number, they ought to say sorry and not keep bothering you again. Clearly, that’s not the case with this crowd.4 yearsLately, I’ve been getting a bunch of calls about insulation. Funny enough, I swear I heard the same person’s voice come through each time! I told them I wasn’t interested since my insulation was up to date. Despite that, the calls keep coming from different phone numbers, including this one most recently. I ended up turning on the ‘call guardian’ feature on my phone. It’s a bit of a pain but it’s helped stop them bothering me for the time being.4 yearslooks like its another one of those reading scams again4 yearsGot a call at 12.20, barely let the person talk before I told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call.4 yearsNo sound on the other end when I picked up.4 yearsI got a call from someone saying that a certain yellow loft insulation might be causing damp and condensation in certain homes. They said they’d send out a surveyor to check it out. Apparently, if you’re over 50, the survey costs nothing and the replacement insulation is free too. But for those under 50, the survey costs £75. They only wanted my last name and mentioned a manager would ring back to sort out a suitable time. I’ve decided to block the number now.4 yearsNo one spoke when I answered, just silence.4 yearsBeware of loft insulation con artists. They're eager to dispatch a surveyor who’ll insist that you're in dire need of their spray insulation (which, quite frankly, is unnecessary for anyone). Don't hesitate to hang up on these folks!4 yearsGot a call from 01183389915 this morning around 10:15am on my unlisted landline. Like always, no voicemail was left. After reading the other comments about this number, it’s clear what kind of call it probably is. I never answer unknown calls on my landline, and if they don’t leave a message, I just don’t bother calling back.4 yearsThis bloke was clearly just reading off a script. I asked where he got my number from, but he didn’t seem to catch it at first. After I repeated myself, he went on about my property being on some energy list. When I asked if he even knew whom he was talking to, he just ignored it and started blabbering again. Then I threw in that I’d be pretending to be from some government spy agency to see what he’d say, and he just hung up. My number isn’t listed anywhere and I've signed up to the Telephone Preference Service to block calls like this.Telephone Preference Service4 yearsGot a call on my home phone from a number showing Reading. I didn’t answer since I don’t have any mates or family there. Seems like it was probably some sort of spam or scam call.Reading4 yearsFor the past few weeks, this number has been ringing me around lunch and teatime pretty much every day. I've just stopped picking up. Big thanks to everyone who has answered and flagged it as a scam on this site.4 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise. As soon as my answerphone kicked in, they just hung up.4 yearsGot two calls from someone called "Patrick" claiming to be with the Green Energy Trust. He kept going on about my loft insulation being rubbish and needing sorting out. I told him straight up I’m not interested in any cold calls, and he just ended the call both times. Something about it felt dodgy, like a scam to me.PatrickGreen Energy Trust4 yearsThis call about loft insulation is definitely a con. I really hope no one, especially the elderly or vulnerable, gets tricked by it. So dodgy!4 yearsHad a right nuisance with a call about loft insulation. It’s clear these folks haven’t even glanced at the Telephone Preference Service where I’m registered. So, I just ended the call.Telephone Preference Service4 yearsReceived an unexpected call and, to top it off, we're registered with the Telephone Preference Service.Telephone Preference Service4 yearsReceived a call from an unfamiliar number today, but they didn't bother leaving a message. I tend to steer clear of unrecognised numbers, especially with the sheer number of scams floating about these days. A legitimate caller would almost certainly drop a message, and any courteous individual would do the same. So, it’s safe to assume this is from someone who lacks both sincerity and manners. Definitely not someone I’m keen to engage with!4 yearsReceived a call from this number, but there was no voicemail or anything left. Quite puzzling, really!4 yearsI’ve come across a rather dodgy operation that seems to be scaring people into thinking they might need to sell their homes due to care costs. Quite frankly, it’s a worrying tactic to invoke fear!4 yearsSince my phone has caller ID, I decided to let it ring and go to voicemail. They didn't bother to leave a message, though.4 yearsI've been receiving relentless calls from several different numbers, but they all seem to vary only by the last few digits. It's quite frustrating!4 yearsI got a call from a bloke with a British accent saying their ‘records’ indicated mould in my loft insulation. When I asked for the exact address they meant, he just hung up. Definitely a scam.4 yearsJust a heads up, if you get a call from a number you don't know, best not to pick up. They didn't leave any voicemail, and after looking it up here, it’s clear it’s probably a scam. Wouldn't risk it.4 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming to be from the Residential Green Standards Association for homeowners. When I asked where he was calling from, he said London, but his number showed up as Reading. Plus, there was a weird pause now and then, which made me think he was probably somewhere else entirely.Residential Green Standards AssociationLondonReading4 yearsGot a call from 01183389915, seemed like one of those energy rip-offs. Watch out, looks like a scam to me.4 yearsThis guy called Patrick says he’s from the Residential Green Centre in London and just won’t stop ringing me, even though I told him to stop contacting us.PatrickResidential Green CentreLondon4 yearsGot a call claiming my loft was on some energy list and that the insulation they had was old rockwool stuff - seemed fishy right from the start. This was actually the second time in a few days they tried the same trick. Our number’s already on the do-not-call list, so these marketing calls shouldn’t be happening. I just ended the call straight away.4 yearsGot a ring from 01183389915 and when I picked up, all I could hear was some weird buzzing and static noise. It felt really suspicious to me.4 yearsThey said it was a free loft inspection survey, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a con.4 yearsThey just keep ringing, it's really getting on my nerves!4 yearsI didn’t pick up since it was an unfamiliar number.
