01202137317 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01202137317 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving unsolicited calls from a Bournemouth area code, falsely claiming issues with loft or cavity wall insulation possibly causing dampness. Callers often pose as government-affiliated or local energy advisors, offering free surveys or repairs, but become pushy or disconnect if questioned. Many targets do not have lofts or insulation, highlighting the indiscriminate and misleading nature of the scheme. Calls typically ignore Telephone Preference Service restrictions and frequently make no attempt to provide verifiable contact details. Recipients are advised not to engage, decline any surveys, and consider blocking the number due to repeated calls and suspicious behaviours such as hang-ups upon answering or no response. Reporting to Trading Standards and Ofcom is recommended to help address these fraudulent practices.

5 yearsGot a call off a bloke called Chris who said he was with Green Energy. He told me my house was listed as having 'outdated' loft insulation that might be causing damp issues. When I asked if he worked for a government agency or a private firm, he hung up sharpish. Then in March, a call came from a number almost the same, this time claiming to be from Thermal Homes, selling the same story. I've already reported those guys to Trading Standards and Ofcom, and I'll be reporting this lot too.ChrisGreen EnergyThermal HomesTrading StandardsOfcom5 yearsGot a phonecall from someone claiming to be "Mark at the Insulation Advisory Office close to Oxford". Sounded like a typical scam trying to sell loft insulation and deal with damp issues. Odd thing was, the number had a Bournemouth area code. They didn’t bother looking up the Telephone Preference Service either.Insulation Advisory OfficeOxfordBournemouthTelephone Preference Service5 yearsThis bloke called me offering a free loft insulation survey, saying it was because of my age. He mentioned he found my number through some government EPC list. I wasn’t 100% sure so I told him I’d mull it over and ring him later. He was polite enough, said goodbye, but never bothered giving me his phone number.5 yearsToday someone tried ringing me, but Truecall blocked the call!Truecaller5 yearsAvoid answering this number, it’s a dodgy insulation scam!5 yearsThere’s this bloke, Matthew, who rings me a couple of times weekly using numbers that look similar - all start with the Bournemouth area code (01202) and then 137 followed by a few digits. He always wants to chat about loft insulation, which is strange because we don’t even have a loft! I mess about a bit with him before cutting him off when he starts quizzing me on how to spell my name. Obviously, no way I’m giving that out. Calling back just gets you the same recorded message about “market research” from some digital marketing firm. If you fancy it, have a laugh wasting Matthew’s time, but definitely don’t give away even your first name. These scammy calls are so annoying!MatthewBournemouth5 yearsI answered the phone after it rang about 4 times, there was a pause and then they just hung up. Seems like one of those scams where they call loads of people at once and whoever picks up first they try to talk to, and they drop the rest. Sounds like a cold call, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.5 yearsI got a call on my home phone from a number that seemed to be from Bournemouth. They said it was about some cavity wall insulation, but I told them I don’t have any because my house is an old stone cottage with solid walls. As soon as I said that, they just ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam - best to steer clear.Bournemouth5 yearsDidn’t pick up since the number looked strange, but after having a look here, I’m relieved I didn’t!5 yearsGot a call from 01202137317 saying they’re from my local energy company, ssid something, telling me about mould in our cavity insulation. They said it’s no big deal so I just said thanks and hung up. But if it really wasn’t anything to worry about, why does the number come up as Bournemouth when I’m based up here in the North East? Bit odd if you ask me.BournemouthNorth East5 yearsGot a call about some government-backed insulation scheme they say we’re signed up to, which isn’t true at all as we haven’t had any work done. The annoying thing is once you pick up, they know the number’s active and just keep ringing over and over.5 yearsGot a call on my home phone from this number but when I picked up there was just silence. I’d say it’s probably spam so best to just ignore it.5 yearsGot a call about loft insulation the other day, so I told them I live in a flat with no loft at all. Then I just said cheers and hung up.5 yearsHad a call about loft insulation and honestly they were way too forceful, kept interrupting me like I didn’t know what I was saying. Ended up telling them I’d report their number. Honestly, my tip would be just to hang up straight away if you get called by this number - better to not answer at all. I definitely regretted picking up when they rang me today, 19/07/21.5 yearsGot a call from some lot saying they’d put loft insulation in our flat, which we never asked for. What’s worse is the number’s supposedly on the TPS list, so either they’re ringing up at random or just ignoring the no cold call rules. Proper scam!Telephone Preference ServiceTPS5 yearsMy landline rang while I wasn’t home, but they didn’t bother to leave any message.5 yearsGot a call from a Bournemouth number, but since I don't know anyone from that area, I just left it unanswered.Bournemouth5 yearsGot a call from these aggressive insulation sellers claiming it’s backed by some government scheme or something. Felt like a total scam to me, dodgy business!5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming I’d had loft insulation put in about 20 years ago and that the fibreglass might be causing damp issues. They wanted to send someone from Wales to inspect my loft and said there’d be no pressure for a quote. When I said I’d need to talk it over with my husband, he said the manager would ring me back. I offered to get his number and call him instead, but he kept pushing and wasn’t interested in listening. Ended up telling him to get lost!5 yearsBeen getting loads of calls from some insulation company saying my place has condensation problems due to insulation. Feels like a total scam to me. They just keep ringing nonstop!5 yearsHad a call about government grants for home insulation. I told them I wasn’t the owner of the house, but they just kept going on like I was. So annoying getting calls like that all the time.5 yearsJust got one of those annoying scam calls from someone pretending to be a local energy consultant.5 yearsI received a call from this number today, they claimed they needed to do a survey on my loft.5 yearsJust got an automated message trying to sell some energy insulation thing. I didn’t even pay much attention to it!5 yearsGot a call saying there was an issue with some government-backed loft insulation at my place, but it was just a load of rubbish. They kept pushing the same story so I just ended up hanging up. Sick of these types of calls constantly.5 yearsI've gotten calls from this number a few times now, plus some others with the same area code. Every time I've tried to call back, no one picks up. Seems a bit dodgy to me, probably worth looking into for spam or something.5 yearsSo I got a call from someone claiming to be Chris from the energy company. He asked if I owned the place, to which I said yes. Then, out of nowhere, he just said thanks a lot and hung up on me! I found it quite odd since I thought he’d want to get my info first before ending the call like that.Chris5 yearsThey called up and straight away wanted to know if I still had a driveway.5 yearsHad a call earlier today about some "energy saving" thing, just a load of rubbish. Then someone chuckled and dropped the call - probably the same lot bothering me again.5 yearsJust like others mentioned here, I got a call out of the blue about some supposed issues with my loft insulation. They claimed they could send someone round to check and fix it right away. I tried to tell them I wasn’t interested but the bloke just kept going, wouldn’t take no for an answer. Really frustrating!5 yearsAs soon as my voicemail started, the person on the other end just dropped the call.Submit Your Own Report (01202 137317)
