01202137381 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01202137381 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam originating often from Bournemouth numbers, targeting homeowners with unsolicited calls about loft insulation or energy efficiency schemes. The caller, often named "Chris," claims to represent local energy suppliers or government grants but hangs up when questioned and fails to provide verifiable details. Despite repeated reports to authorities and phone providers, calls continue frequently, sometimes multiple times daily using different numbers. Many recognise these as cold calls with no messages left, and recipients advise blocking numbers as a temporary measure. The calls are widely considered deceptive, intrusive, and linked to cold calling practices that ignore preferences registered on the Telephone Preference Service. Caution and non-engagement are recommended to avoid potential scams.

What an absolute imbecile! This fool has been ringing me up not once, but twice this week alone. It's astonishing that he’s been sticking to the same tiresome 'scam script' for at least the last three years. The numbers he’s using this week all share the same area code - 01202, possibly from Bournemouth? They include 01202 137442 and 01202 159056, if anyone’s interested. Every time, he introduces himself as “Chris - your local energy supplier,” which is absolutely laughable, given that I’ve never lived anywhere near Bournemouth! It’s truly mind-boggling that he’s still managing to operate like this, especially since I’ve reported him countless times over the years to both my phone provider and the UK Fraud Squad.

I received a call from this number earlier today, and they were banging on about loft insulation. By the second ring, I figured out it was dodgy and let them know I was onto their little scheme.

Beware! This is definitely a con. When you pick up the phone, they’ll start rambling on about a government scheme to upgrade your attic insulation. Don’t fall for it!

Received a rather unexpected phone call from a chap trying to peddle loft insulation. Not exactly what I was after!

They keep ringing even when I block one of the numbers, they just start calling from a different one. Sometimes I get three or four calls every day. I just let it go to voicemail. This has been going on for a few weeks now, really annoying!

I’ve been getting calls from this number about once every month for quite a while now. I’ve just ignored it after checking what this site says. Honestly, if Boris really wants my vote, he ought to put some laws in place to go after these annoying callers.

Had a couple of calls from 01202137379 and 01202137369 over the past few days, all looking like the same run-of-the-mill scammers. They don't strike me as very bright either, bit sad really. Looks like these numbers are part of a set used by the same bunch of con artists.

They keep ringing non stop, every time I block one number, they call from a different one. It’s proper harassment.

I got a call out of the blue about insulating my loft. I’m signed up with the TPS, so I’m pretty sure it was just a dodgy sales call.

Got a ring the other day about loft insulation. I've signed up to the telephone preference service, but it honestly doesn’t seem to do much to block these annoying calls.

The call ended right as my voicemail picked up - pretty sure it was one of those scams.

Got a call from this number but didn’t pick up since I didn’t know it, and no voicemail was left either. Looks like it’s from Bournemouth, which, in my experience, is the hotspot for cold calls and scams. My mother-in-law got scammed out of a lot of money by people there, and the annoying calls from Bournemouth just keep coming.

Got a call out of the blue from some company claiming my drive needs attention or something like that. They kept talking about resin drives and how they reckon mine's got issues. Sounded dodgy to me, like one of those annoying cold calls trying to sell something I don't need. Proper weird!

Absolute scammers. I just tell them to buzz off.

"Hello, it’s Chris here, your neighbourhood energy guide!" Quite the opposite, as I’m actually more than 150 miles distant. The moment I inquired about the source of my number, he abruptly ended the call.

Caller: Good day! I’m ringing from the Driveway Centre regarding our latest show home brochure. If you’re interested, we can offer a significant discount, and the quoted price will be locked in for a full year. Me: Actually, I had my driveway done a fortnight ago... Click. What’s happened to the days of courtesy, like saying, “Thank you for your time, my apologies for intruding”? I recognise that telemarketing is no walk in the park, yet if they can’t muster a modicum of politeness, what on earth do they anticipate?

So it seems Chris, that bloke who promptly disconnects when you inquire about his identity, attempted to ring me back just to irk him a bit. Lo and behold, it turns out you can't reach him! If you happen to see this number pop up on your caller ID, I'd suggest giving a good, hearty whistle right after you pick up!

Hi there, it's Chris here. Just noticed your property popped up on the "Energy Performance Register". I was a bit taken aback, as I thought, "What’s this all about? Is it just a random sales call?" Before I could even respond, the line went dead. Quite the abrupt ending!

I've always had my doubts regarding phone numbers from Bournemouth, as they often seem to be dodgy marketing calls. I recently got a call from someone claiming to be Chris, an energy advisor. When I picked up, there was an eerie silence on the other end, so I decided to block the number straight away. Just seems like a scam.

Greetings! I’m Chris, representing a nearby energy efficiency firm, he enthusiastically introduced himself. He then launched into a discussion regarding the type of loft insulation he assumed I possessed, asserting it was quite antiquated and inefficient. When I inquired about what solutions he had in mind, he mentioned that his manager from the South London branch would provide the details during a follow-up call. I pressed further for specifics on the proposals or what was available, and to my surprise, he abruptly ended the call.

Just had a rather peculiar phone call from someone claiming to be 'Chris' from my so-called local energy provider. He wanted me to verify that I was indeed the homeowner. Naturally, I wasn’t about to give him any information and inquired how he managed to obtain my number, particularly under GDPR regulations. His response? "The other person has cleared." Quite the farce, if you ask me!

Seems like Chris, the so-called energy consultant, is at it again! Ringing me at the same hour without fail. I just can’t be bothered to engage, so I terminate the call each time.

got a call from a friendly-sounding bloke named chris who said it was about an energy efficiency scheme. when i asked him how he got my number, he told me it was from some government energy database. i told him i’m ex-directory and never share my details, and he was quite polite, thanked me, and hung up. it’s not showing up as any legit company so this feels like a scam or just a cold call, so best avoid it.
