01202143172 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01202143172 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam originating from the Bournemouth area, frequently involving callers claiming to be from government or energy-related schemes offering loft insulation surveys or upgrades. The callers, often using names like Chris, Tom, or Patrick, hang up abruptly when questioned or asked for verification and may use multiple similar numbers to bypass call blocking. Many recipients, including those registered with the Telephone Preference Service, experience repeated calls with no genuine information provided. The calls are widely viewed as attempts to solicit personal details or sales under false pretences, with advice to avoid engagement, block numbers where possible, and report incidents to authorities such as Action Fraud. Enhanced call-blocking devices are recommended to reduce such intrusive calls.

For quite some time, I've been getting loads of calls from 01202 numbers. I don’t pick up, but they never stop ringing. The last few digits keep changing, so blocking them is impossible. I’ve tried asking BT to add a feature to block by area code, and I'd suggest others do that too. Maybe these annoying callers wouldn’t bother so much if they had to keep changing their number like this!

For quite a long time now, I’ve been getting calls from 01202 numbers non-stop. I make sure not to pick up, but they don’t stop ringing. The last few digits always change, so I can’t just block one single number. I even contacted B.T. to see if they could put in a feature to block entire area codes, and I’d suggest everyone else do that too. Maybe those annoying callers would get less bothered if they had to keep shifting location all the time!

I’m on the lookout for a surveyor to pop over regarding some damp issues linked to my loft insulation. I reckon a spray insulation applied to the tiles might just do the trick to sort this out!

So this number belongs to a bloke called Stuart David Wright, even though he keeps answering with names like Chris, Tom, Craig, or Simon. Turns out his address is 21a Plymouth Road, Barnt Green, Birmingham, B45 8JF. Looks like a rather nice big house for someone who’s constantly ripping people off. At least now we’ve got a clue where this cheeky scammer calls home!

Got three calls from the same number. The first two times it just cut off as soon as I picked up and the answerphone was on. On the third call I actually spoke to a bloke who kept going on about loft insulation. I asked him how the weather was over in Bournemouth, since I figured out where the call came from, and he just ended the call straight away.

They claimed it was a free loft survey, brought up issues like insulation and dampness. Usually they start with, "I'm your local agent for the neighbourhood" or something. The idiot just continues chatting away, probably trying to keep you hooked on the phone.

I’ve been getting calls on my landline from the Bournemouth area for quite a while now, and Monday alone I had three of them. Luckily, I always screen my calls. None of these callers bothered to leave a message on my answering machine, so I’m guessing it’s probably some automated dialling from either a cold caller or a scammer.

A polite young bloke, who told me his first name, rang up saying he was from the central government’s energy register. He mentioned that their ‘records’ indicated I have a certain kind of loft insulation. When I asked how they got my phone number since it was a withheld number, he said sorry and ended the call. This is the third time I’ve received a call from that same number.

I told him there was no way he could know anything about my insulation since he hasn’t got a clue who I am or where I live. When I said I’m on the TPS list, he promptly swore at me and ended the call. Very cheeky!

Got a call from 01202143172 - total energy scam messing about, trying to palm off loft insulation for £50,000! Yeah, as if anyone's paying that much for it. From what I know, loft insulation usually goes for about £5 to £11 per square metre, so for a typical four-bedroom detached house it’d be closer to £1250 max. Definitely a dodgy caller trying to rip people off!

He was going on about our loft insulation being rubbish and said there was some government-funded check that could help improve it. I told him there’s no way he could know what insulation I’ve got since he clearly didn’t. When I asked who he was and where he was calling from, he got all awkward. I said I was on the TPS list, and he ended up hanging up on me swearing! Ridiculous.

I think it was this bloke “Tom” who kept ringin’ me, but after a few calls I clocked he wasn’t real - just some robot or a recorded voice reading from a script. He kept going on about faulty loft insulation like he knew I had any, which I definitely don’t. Kept asking for my “details” and it’s happened four times now. I’ve gone ahead and reported it to the ICO.

Been getting calls every day, twice a day, for the past couple weeks about insulation or some nonsense.

Honestly, can’t wait for tomorrow’s call. Been on the TPS for years and it barely makes a difference.
