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 The calls feature scripted pitches about outdated or problematic insulation causing damp or condensation, frequently targeting individuals regardless of their actual circumstances.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.

Someone 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.

Got 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.

I'm really fed up with these phone calls. This idiot rang earlier, and now they've called again from a different number, 01183389920. They keep altering the last digits of their number. I explicitly told the bloke to go away and quit making people's lives miserable.

I 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.

Goodbye! Instead of starting with an introduction or mentioning the company name or reason for the call, the person immediately jumps into discussing the type of loft insulation causing condensation. However, there's no need to worry as they assure that they will arrange a survey today.

I find it quite astonishing that for the second time in just two days, I received a call from someone named Alex. During our conversation yesterday, I requested him to search his records and inform me of my name, which he was unable to do. Unfortunately, today, when Alex called again, he neglected to introduce himself and jumped right into informing me about our supposedly antiquated loft insulation. Naturally, I was curious how he came across this information, to which he replied that the government had provided it to him along with my telephone number. When I dared to mention that we reside in a charming thatch cottage of over 500 years, without any sort of loft, he abruptly hung up the phone...

I 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.

This 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.

Beware of loft insulation fraudsters who are unresponsive to calls

Got 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.

Called 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.

I received a call from someone named Alex who claimed to be representing an organisation that was possibly called 'green standards' or something along those lines. He mentioned something about conducting home insulation surveys. However, when I pressed him about how he acquired my number, he was quite evasive and wouldn’t divulge any details. On top of that, he wouldn’t allow me to speak to his manager. All seems a bit dodgy to me, to be honest.
