01184640242 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01184640242 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number associated with cold calls claiming to offer loft insulation services. Callers often use false identities, fake local area references, and scripted pitches, frequently failing to provide credible company details or relevancy to the recipient’s property. Many recipients suspect it to be a scam, with some reporting intrusive or inappropriate behaviour. The number repeatedly attempts contact without leaving messages and ignores requests not to call, despite some individuals being registered on the Telephone Preference Service. Concerns about spoofing and fraudulent use of genuine UK numbers are common, prompting calls for stronger regulatory measures and technological solutions to curb unwanted and potentially harmful calls. Users are advised to block and report this number and remain vigilant.

Today, I received a call from a chap purporting to offer loft insulation services, and he immediately launched into a barrage of invasive personal inquiries. I suspect it's a scam, and I must say, I'm thoroughly fed up with receiving these sorts of calls.

They rang about loft insulation and I told them our loft is all boarded out. Said if they fancy coming round to clear out 50 years of junk up there before fitting the insulation, then be my guest!

Got a call from this number 01184640242, some bloke named Chris claiming to be an energy company rep. Totally felt like a scam to me. Don't trust it!

Had a call from an energy rep who claimed to be covering my postcode. I thought, oh that's great! So I asked him to tell me what my postcode actually was. Instead of answering, he just ended the call rather than try to mess me around any further!

Got a call from this number on my landline, but for some reason it didn’t get caught by my Call Guardian - luckily, the comments here warned me! Big thanks to everyone leaving feedback, it really helps out a lot.

01184640242 called me about loft insulation, claiming it was for “my local postcode area” but Reading ain’t anywhere near Manchester, is it? How does Reading turn into my local spot? Proper confusing!

I got a call from someone called Chris the other day, said he was with Residential Green Standards and doing some loft insulation work nearby. Sounds familiar though, I think the very same bloke rang me a few months back.

Over the past few days, I've gotten two calls about replacing my windows. The first bloke seemed not bothered, then the very next day, someone else rang about windows again. Today, I got a call about loft insulation, which I said I wasn't interested in, quite firmly. Told them I never do business over the phone since it might be a scam. The guy said he understood, which was nice. I'm pension age but thankfully don’t get taken in by these types of calls.

A couple weeks back, I got a call from what they said was their company, but the number was different this time. The bloke was going on about some rules and how my loft insulation supposedly didn’t meet the standards. I just told him it was nonsense and to stop ringing me. I’m pretty sure they’ll ring back soon, probably from another number.

Got a call from someone named Chris, sounded like he was just following a script. He said he was local but the dialling code he used was nowhere near mine. I’m on the TPS and made it clear I didn’t want any random cold calls like this.

Got a call on my landline three times in under 30 minutes. I don’t pick up if I don’t know the number. No voicemail left either, so I looked it up here. Honestly, they really need to put an end to this. If it was my mobile, the number would be blocked straight away, plus I’ve got all unknown numbers muted automatically. I reckon I’m paying extra with BT for that feature though.

I answered the phone and after a bit of silence, a guy with a strong English accent came on and began chatting about stuff like insulation and the environment. When I tried to find out which company he was from, he hesitated and didn’t really say. I mentioned that we’re on the Do Not Call list so we don’t take unsolicited calls. He didn’t seem bothered by that, so I just ended the call.

This morning at about 9.30, I got a call from 01184640242, but they refused to say who they were on my Call Guardian. Since I'm ex-directory, these persistent, annoying calls really get on my nerves. Whenever I spot the number, I make sure to block it straight away. I really can't stand cold callers - one time one of them even got aggressive and pretended to be from my local clinic!

The landline’s rung just once on two separate occasions from this number. It popped up in my missed calls, but I didn’t get to pick up, so no idea who it was. Seems like it could just be some spam or a sales call, knowing how it usually goes.

I've been receiving multiple calls from a bloke named John regarding loft insulation. I've consistently informed him that I'm not the property owner and that he's merely squandering both our time, yet the calls keep coming. I'm really starting to lose my patience with this situation.
