I have no idea who this number is, whenever I pick up there's just silence on the other end.

I received a call earlier where the person introduced himself as Chris, claiming to be the energy advisor for my locality. He asked how I was doing today. I swiftly ended the conversation. This is actually the third time I’ve encountered this same sort of call!

I’ve had the same thing happen a few times, someone named "Chris" saying they’re an energy advisor. They’ve rung me from different numbers about three times now.

Got a call but when I picked up, there was nobody there. Strange!

Got a call from someone named "Chris" saying it was about a grant for loft insulation. Sounded dodgy so I just ended the call without saying a word.

Got a call from some bloke saying I’d just had insulation installed, which is a load of rubbish. I told him he’d got the wrong number, but he then started shouting about how it supposedly causes damp problems. I ended the call and blocked the number straight away. It was a bit off from the one that called me last week - same mob though - and I blocked that one too.

Totally ridiculous scam going on here, and I’m almost certain the number’s been faked.

I got a call about checking my loft insulation, but the person didn't even know my address! How could they possibly know if my insulation needed updating without that info? He kept saying he was new at the job, which sounded fishy to me. Definitely felt like a scam.

Some bloke called himself Chris and said he was ringing folks in my area. Then he went on to ask if I owned the place. When I asked him which postcode he meant, he said he didn’t quite hear it, so I said it again and he just ended the call. Honestly, why can’t these lot just vanish and leave us alone?

I ignored the call since I suspected it might be a scam. This number has popped up quite a few times lately.

All I got was a click and no one spoke. From what I've read on other posts, it looks like a scam call, just another annoying one. They really need to find out who’s behind it and put an end to these calls once and for all.

Got a call about the loft insulation, but the bloke couldn’t even say my address right. How can he check if my insulation’s done properly when he doesn’t know where I live? He admitted he was new at it too! Pretty clear to me that it was a scam.

He mentioned thinking I was the person who lived here, which made me think he knew me. So, I asked him who exactly he wanted to speak with. When I pushed him about it, it became pretty obvious he had no clue who I was. I never even caught what he was selling, cos it never got that far.

Got a dodgy text about house insulation from this number. I've blocked it, but seems like they're switching up the numbers all the time, probably spoofing. Proper scam if you ask me.

For about a week now, they've been ringing me up at least two times a day.

I got a call about energy insulation, even though i own this house. They asked about my loft insulation which might be causing condensation. Then they wanted me to spell my surname out loud. Definitely sounded like a dodgy scam to me.

Weirdly, most of the reviews mention a live call about insulation. But what I got was just a snippet from a recorded message - it only got as far as “your postc” before it just stopped. Seems like whoever’s running this auto dialler has a glitch where the message doesn’t play properly, starting mid-way and ending abruptly. I guess they’re spending money on this system, but it’s not working right. Quite puzzling, really.

01202 137296 - I've noticed they've been ringing and it seems like I've come across this number several times today. Clearly a spammer using a dodgy new number to disguise themselves... best to block it!

Had a couple of rings on my home phone today, managed to get inside from the garden but missed them by a sec. From what I’m seeing here, I’m probably just gonna block that number.

They didn’t say a word, just cut the call straight away, so I’m blocking the number.

Just like the other calls from similar numbers, they keep saying my loft insulation needs urgent work. I wouldn’t trust ’em one bit. I’ve tagged the number as harassing but don’t reckon it’s exactly safe or dangerous.

Just looked up 2 137296 after getting a few calls from it today. Seems like a typical spammer with a fresh spoofed number. Definitely blocking it now.

Somebody rang saying they were from an insulation firm, I asked one quick question and then they just ended the call on me.

Got a 'call back' from someone called Dan about my cavity wall insulation. It's a load of rubbish really, because we had that done like 30 years ago. When I asked him for his name again, he just hung up on me!

I've been getting calls off these insulation scammers a few times now. I just don’t pick up anymore. If you do end up talking to the dodgy bloke on the phone, don’t ever share your name or any personal details with him.

Got a call saying I hadn’t had an insulation survey done recently and they needed to come check it out. I didn’t agree to anything, but they just kept insisting they were coming over. When I told them no way, they just kept going like it was some kind of recorded message about me having damp problems. I told them again no and then just ended the call.

I’ve been getting calls from 01202 137296 since today, and it seems like there’ve been quite a few searches on this number. It's clearly some sort of spammy nuisance using a freshly spoofed number. Definitely going to have to add this one to my block list!

Uninspiring, to say the least.

I've been receiving a barrage of calls from this number lately. The last chap mentioned something regarding the roof insulation we had installed ages ago. Today, he assured me there was no cause for alarm, yet went on about potential condensation issues. I informed him that our roof insulation was done three decades back. At that point, he just hung up. Quite odd, really!

I've received a second phone call from someone claiming to be “Chris”, chatting about roof insulation. The number was 01202 544870. I checked with the Telephone Preference Service, but they said there's naught they can do regarding this caller. It's evident this is just another spammy nuisance!

The AI known as 'Chris' seemed rather limited in its array of phrases and appeared to be completely unaware of the Telephone Preference Service.

I reckon it was one of those automated systems with voice prompts. It was asserting that I’d had my loft insulation done recently, which isn’t the case at all, and that it was in need of a service, whatever that’s supposed to mean. Quite baffling!
5 years
He reckons he’s keen to chat about the roof insulation that I recently got installed - but I informed him that I had the whole lot taken out a fortnight ago! To be honest, I wasn’t too pleased with being labelled a dodgy pillock. Honestly, what is wrong with some folk? Just accept your true self, folks! 😂😂

I had a chap on the other end droning on about dodgy loft insulation just the other day-strangely reminiscent of a call I got from a different number with the same old guff! What a right carry-on!
5 years
I found myself questioning the legitimacy of a rather eloquent chap who called me about insulation in my loft, and he casually threw in a mention of government funding! Isn’t it just typical that these types of calls often come with a delay, leading one to assume it's just another silent nuisance? The tendency to respond with rudeness or to send them packing is certainly tempting. When he kept insisting, I had to inform him that I neither have a loft nor a house to speak of, and cheekily remarked that he had "the wrong animal." It’s frankly bewildering how every time there's some supposed government initiative for grants, we’re inundated with scammers, swindlers, and charlatans trying to take advantage of us!

I had this bloke, who went by "Matthew," ringing me persistently. After he tried his luck a few times, I finally picked up on the fourth go. He started rambling on about some loft insulation we supposedly had put in. I set him straight and didn't hesitate to end the call. Honestly, these con artists just don’t know when to quit!
