01183389918 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01183389918 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance source of scam calls, primarily posing as local energy or insulation advisers pushing loft insulation surveys and upgrades. Callers use different numbers with similar prefixes, often leave no message, and hang up abruptly when questioned. They claim government affiliation or local authority, but provide no verifiable credentials and ignore requests to stop calling. The calls feature scripted pitches about outdated or problematic insulation causing damp or condensation, frequently targeting individuals regardless of their actual circumstances. Blocking numbers is often ineffective as calls come from varying lines. Users advise scepticism, recommend not responding, and suggest contacting MPs to urge stricter regulation and introduction of technology to combat spoofing and prevent such fraudulent practices.
Reports on phone number 01183389918
5 yearsThat annoying guy who phoned me yesterday called again today. I just hung up as soon as he started his rehearsed spiel. What a pest!5 yearsGot a call from some timewaster yesterday. Honestly, these calls have got to stop pronto.5 yearsSomeone mentioned earlier that I should get in touch with my MP, so I did. I guess they might be pretty busy with bigger stuff like preventing a nuclear disaster, but fingers crossed they’ll get back to me. I’m convinced the tech to tackle this is out there, just probably costs a lot. We need someone to step up and push hard to end these dodgy numbers being used by scammers.5 yearsGot a cold call from someone saying they’re with a government insulation programme and working nearby. They've phoned us about five or six times now, and every time we’ve told them we’re not interested.5 yearsGot a call from some company wanting to talk about insulating my loft. Seemed like they were pushing their heat insulation services or something. Didn’t sound too convincing, so I wasn’t sure if it was legit or just a sales call.5 yearsDidn’t bother to leave a message or anything.5 yearsGot a ring from this number but didn’t know who it was, didn’t leave any voicemail either. Just blocked it straight away.5 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from 01183389918 and it's really annoying. Even after blocking them, they keep ringing me up. Proper hassle!5 yearsGot a call from 01183389918 on 23rd Feb around 9:39 in the morning. No voicemail left, just ringing with no message. I reckon it’s a scammer, been getting loads of calls like that. If you don’t know the number and there’s no message, best not to call back.5 yearsI'm so fed up with these calls! Some muppet rang me earlier and now they've come back on a different number, 01183389920. They just keep switching up the last few digits. I told the bloke to shove it and leave people alone.5 yearsI missed this number ringing a couple of times yesterday and it's already buzzed at me five times today. I don’t pick up calls from unknown numbers, so didn’t bother with it.5 yearsI got a call from 01183389918 on my home phone at about 9.13 this morning, 23rd February 2022. I didn’t answer since I usually avoid unknown numbers. After reading the reviews here, it seems like it might be a scam, so I’d say it's best to consider it risky.5 yearsSome guy rang me pretending to be from an energy company. He kicked off saying something about me using a government scheme. I cut him off right away, told him my number's private, withheld and registered with the TPS, then just hung up.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming our place is listed for having old loft insulation. That's rubbish - I put that insulation in myself and I'm the only one who knows what’s up there. They’ve got the wrong end of the stick for sure.5 yearsGot a call from some guy about loft insulation. I explained that I live in a flat and my upstairs neighbour wouldn’t be too pleased. He just got really rude and then abruptly ended the call! Not impressed at all!5 yearsJust had a call at 11:50 on Wednesday, 23rd Feb, but I didn’t pick up.5 yearsStraight off the bat, he launched into asking about what kind of loft insulation I had and how it might be making condensation worse. Didn’t even say who he was or why he was calling. Then suddenly, he started talking about organising a survey right then and there... and then just hung up!5 yearsHad a call from someone named Chris earlier, supposedly about loft insulation. Seemed a bit off to me.Chris5 yearsNever heard of this number before, but seems like a total scam to me.5 yearsI wasn’t home when they rang my landline. The call was answered but they didn’t leave any message. I don’t recognise the number at all. I’m not bothering to return the call, just gonna delete it. Might be one of those spam or scam calls.5 yearsKept calling over and over, really wanting to set up an in person meeting.5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise. Picked up, but there was nothing but silence on the line. Looks like it’s a scam, especially after reading all the other comments here.5 yearsGot two calls from this same number earlier today. I’m on the TPS list, so no idea why they keep ringing me!Telephone Preference Service5 yearsI got a call from this number earlier today, but there was no voicemail left. Feels like it might be one of those scam calls to me.5 yearsJust now, got a call but I didn’t pick up.5 yearsThe call just went straight to voicemail and they didn’t leave anything. I’ve decided to block the number now.5 yearsThe phone keeps going off but just hangs up the second I pick up.5 yearsSo there was this bloke who said his name was John. He sounded quite posh, all polite and clear, then suddenly just stopped talking. Strange call!John5 yearsClaiming to be a local energy consultant, he went by Chris but used to say his name was Tom. Definitely just a scam, so I blocked him.ChrisTomBarricade5 yearsI got a call where the person was asking about ways to safeguard my house in case I need care down the line.5 yearsGot a call claiming to be from some home renovation firm. They said if I wanted to stop getting calls, I should press one - like I was gonna do that! Just ended up hanging up and blocking the number straight away.5 yearsThey keep ringing, saying they’re a local green energy company. They go by different names each time, like Chris, Paul, or Alex. Even after I’ve asked them to quit calling, they don’t seem to take the hint. Proper annoying!AlexChrisPaul5 yearsI called but couldn’t get anyone to pick up.5 yearsGot a call from 01183 389918 but they didnt leave any message or say who they were. Really odd.5 yearsI just saw that post about trying to block these bogus UK calls. Might give it a go. Blocking them feels pointless since they keep ringing back with new numbers. Surely there’s tech out there that can help with what’s been mentioned. Seems like the phone companies and our government couldn't care less at the moment. Maybe it’s time they got a good shake!UK5 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be a local energy adviser, but they said they don't cover my area at all. Bit confusing really.5 yearsThey've rung me a few times now, but coz I always check who’s calling first, it just goes straight to my answerphone. Every time, the person just quits without a word - really frustrating when I’m in the middle of something!5 yearsGot a call supposedly from my electricity company - total fibs! Quickly shut them down and blocked the number.5 yearsGot a call yesterday from a number nearly identical to the one today, just the last digit was different. Today, the person said they were a local energy advisor, but the caller yesterday said they were from some Driveway Centre. Seems like it could be a scam.Driveway Centre5 yearsI have no clue how these scammers got hold of my number, even though it’s unlisted and I’m signed up with TPS. They keep ringing non-stop and it’s really getting on my nerves.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsGot a call from a bloke named John, said he’s the energy advisor around here. He wouldn’t say what company he worked for. Felt like a total scam, all about loft insulation or something. Avoid if you can!John5 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming it was about loft insulation they supposedly fitted. Thing is, they never actually did any work at my place! I told him to forget it and just hung up. Felt like a right scam to me.5 yearsThis is the second occasion in just 48 hours. Yesterday, someone rang claiming to be Alex. I asked him to confirm my name from his files, but he couldn’t provide it. When he called back today, he never gave his name but immediately started talking about how my loft insulation was out of date. I asked where he got that info from, and he said “the government had shared it along with your phone number.” I told him we live in a 500-year-old thatched cottage with no loft at all, and he just ended the call straight away……Alex5 yearsI got a call from someone who said he was an energy advisor from Hull, which is my area. It seemed fishy straight away, so I just talked over him and ended the call quickly. Definitely felt like a scam.JohnHull5 yearsGot a call saying they were from some energy advice service, trying to sell loft insulation. I just stopped responding and they quickly ended the call. Total scam.5 yearsI hung up as soon as the answering machine kicked in.5 yearsI picked up but stayed quiet and then the line just dropped! Probably one of those auto diallers spitting out spam calls.5 yearsGot a call from someone named Philip Asterca about a home insulation survey at 12:17 on 23/02/22. This isn’t the first time they’ve rung me though, they keep using different numbers each time. I’ve blocked them now.Philip Asterca5 yearsNo one spoke on the other end, just silence. Looks like some automated system trying to figure out which numbers are still in use.5 yearsI didn’t answer cause I didn’t know the number. Later I looked it up and from what I found, it seems like it’s a scam call, probably from some company trying to sell loft insulation.5 yearsGot a call from some so-called energy "advisor" saying my loft insulation was faulty and that my house was flagged. Problem is, I don’t even have a loft! Typical scam trying to get in, I reckon.5 yearsGot a call on my home phone from a number I could see. I usually don’t pick up if I don’t recognise the number, just to be safe! :) The person on the other end hung up straight away.5 yearsI hung up as soon as the voicemail kicked in.5 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to be an energy advisor for my postcode area. Not sure if it’s legit or just a sales pitch. Anyone else had calls like this?5 yearsI just ignored the call. What a bunch of leeches!!5 yearsI hung up as soon as their voicemail kicked in.5 yearsGuess what, another call about loft insulation. Seems like they won’t give it a rest!5 yearsThis is definitely a scam, so I wouldn’t bother ringing back.5 yearsI keep getting calls nearly every day from someone claiming to be an energy advisor nearby. I've given up trying to tell them I'm not interested - now I just hang up the moment they start talking. Such a pain!5 yearsI got a call from someone called "John" claiming to be from "NG" at about 12:04pm saying my roof insulation was outdated and needed replacing. I was not interested and said no. Then, 15 minutes later, he rang back but I didn’t answer. Later on, at 2:36pm, I noticed another call from 01183389920 which I’m pretty sure is linked to the same people, so I ignored that too.John5 yearsThis was definitely one of those Loft Insulation scams. The bloke sounded really posh, said he was from some “Green Deal” company based in Southeast London, and asked if I’d used the Government’s insulation schemes for my home. I told him my Building Inspector advised against cavity wall insulation for this place and recommended insulating the inner walls with plasterboard instead. After that, he didn’t want to know and just hung up. Sounds like a scam to me, so I’ve marked the number as Risky and blocked it to warn others.Green DealSouth East LondonGovernment5 yearsI just let the phone ring and never answered.5 yearsGot a call about loft insulation but when I tried ringing back, no one picked up. Sounds like a total scam to me.5 yearsGot a call from some energy firm who kept saying they knew what insulation was in my house - which they absolutely didn’t. They’ve rung me a few times before. I told them I wasn’t interested, but they just kept going on like a stuck record. Then I asked if they were a recorded message or if they just wasn’t listening properly. That seemed to do the trick, they said goodbye and hung up pretty sharpish.5 yearsMy phone rang but went straight to voicemail, and they didn’t leave any message. Most likely some kind of scam or telemarketer trying to get through.5 yearsLike loads of others have mentioned, the guy claimed to be from loft insulation. I didn’t bother chatting - just ended the call right there.5 yearsThey keep ringing me up over and over, it's really annoying and feels like harassment.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were my local energy advisor. They tried to tell me my loft insulation was outdated and causing condensation. Then they asked me how old I was, which I found strange. I just said I’ve already got Icynene insulation installed and then they suddenly hung up.5 yearsCalled from 01183389918 by a polite chap. He sounded nice and didn’t want to scare me, just mentioned the loft insulation could be an issue. Said he was nearby and was “checking in” with folks who hadn’t been reached yet. I let him talk for a bit before telling him I wasn’t interested and hung up. Definitely seemed like a scam to me. Watch out!5 yearsTOTALLY a scam! This bloke was saying all this rubbish about how loft insulation brings damp and mould. I didn’t bother sticking around to hear any more of his nonsense.5 yearsAs soon as the answering machine kicked in, they just hung up.5 yearsGot blocked with that call blocker thingy.5 yearsHad a call from someone named Chris about energy services in my neighbourhood. I told him I was tied up and then just ended the call.Chris5 yearsI called back but nobody picked up, felt a bit dodgy to me.5 yearsGot a call from someone named Alex who said he was with ‘green standards’ or something like that. He claimed it was about home insulation surveys. Didn’t want to tell me where he found my number and wouldn’t let me have a word with his manager. Seemed pretty dodgy to me!Alex5 yearsI got a call about loft insulation, and they mentioned someone else would ring me later with more details. Unfortunately, I missed that return call.5 yearsAbout the insulation in lofts.5 yearsThis was definitely an energy scam. I asked the guy multiple times to explain what exactly he was offering, but all he did was keep going over the same scripted lines. Ended up wasting a couple more minutes of his time before giving up.5 yearsI got a call from some lad saying my house was flagged for dodgy loft insulation that might cause damp after some energy check done nearby. Apparently, I was one of the rare ones around here who hadn’t swapped out their insulation yet. Seemed a bit fishy, so I just cut the call off.5 yearsThis number kept ringing me about home insulation, but when I tried to answer, the voicemail started and then they just hung up. I tried calling back, which is odd because I thought I’d blocked them already. Somehow they still got through - seems like a proper scam to me!5 yearsI got a call from someone called Chris about my loft insulation being ‘old and causing damp’. He seemed like he was just reading off a script, and once I said it sounded like a scam, he ended the call straight away.Chris5 yearsGot a call about loft insulation out of the blue. Total spam, don’t waste your time!5 yearsSome bloke called John kept ringing me claiming to be my “local” energy advisor, but I’m not even close to Berkshire. Got really annoying, so I’m just going to block that number now.JohnBerkshireSubmit Your Own Report (0118 338 9918)
