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!

I’ve been tormented by these pesky 01202 numbers for what feels like an eternity. I refuse to pick up, yet they persistently bombard me from various different endings, making it impossible to block them outright. I’ve reached out to BT, suggesting they implement area code blocking for their call suppression features, and I urge fellow sufferers to do the same. Perhaps these numpties would think twice if they had to keep relocating!

I’ve been receiving incessant calls from a chap named Chris, using a myriad of different numbers, yet they all share the same 01202 code, which is linked to Bournemouth. It’s clearly a dodgy scheme about loft insulation. Quite the nuisance, really!

It appears that the names Chris, Tom, Craig, and Simon all lead back to Stuart David Wright. This phone number is linked to the address 21a Plymouth Road in Barnt Green, Birmingham, with the postcode B45 8JF, registered under Stuart David Wright. Now we've got a clear picture of where this fraudster resides! It's hardly surprising that he's holed up in such a spacious abode, considering all the people he’s been hoodwinking!

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.

Allegedly, there's a complimentary loft inspection being offered. They brought up loft insulation and issues with dampness. It's the usual spiel where they claim, “I’m the local xxxxxxx for your neighbourhood.” The fool just goes on and on, seemingly hoping you won’t hang up!

I've been receiving calls from the Bournemouth region on my home phone for ages now. In fact, there were three calls just on Monday alone! I always make sure to screen my calls rigorously. Each time, the caller hasn’t left any message on my answering machine, which leads me to believe it’s likely an automated system operated by some sort of scammer or cold caller. Quite the nuisance, if you ask me!

Received an automated call regarding loft insurance the other day. It seemed a bit impersonal, wasn’t it? It listed all the usual suspects without really offering any genuine insight. Just felt like one of those generic messages you can't really engage with. Not very helpful, if I'm honest.

Finally picked up on the last one, some bloke named Patrick said he's from an energy firm and that my loft insulation was wrong. I told him I haven't even had a loft for 15 years! Then he just hung up on me, no sorry, nothing. Pretty rude if you ask me.

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!

Someone called saying they were from a local energy company, but 250 miles away hardly counts as local!

I was trying to sell a few items, but the conversation was just filled with unnecessary chatter. They apparently thought we’d had loft insulation installed, but I can’t recall the last time we had an assessment done on our insulation. When I pressed for the source of their information, they were quite evasive and suggested their supervisor could give us a ring. However, the call ended abruptly as soon as I mentioned reporting them to the Telephone Preference Service. Quite the experience, I must say!

I've been getting repeated phone calls from a chap named "Chris" who claims to be with a nearby energy provider. He's even rung me up on 01202143063. Honestly, what a numpty! The bloke seems to think it's perfectly acceptable to bombard me with calls multiple times every week.

Received a call from someone claiming to discuss insulation we supposedly had installed not long ago, suggesting it might lead to condensation issues. I hung up as we haven’t had any insulation fitted lately, and I suspect it was just a dodgy sales pitch.

I received a call from 01202143172 regarding what they claimed was an energy deal, specifically pushing some loft insulation at a ludicrous price of £50,000. Honestly, who do they think they’re fooling? That’s a proper con! Just to put it into perspective, the typical cost for loft insulation hovers around £5 to £11 per square metre. For a standard four-bedroom detached house, you’re realistically looking at about £1,250 tops. It's baffling how some people think they can get away with such blatant scams!

Received three calls today, the first two around half one and half five. On the first two rings, it was completely silent on the other end. The third call had a man, though I could barely comprehend him; he was jabbering on about how our loft insulation was below par and that they could set up a government-subsidised survey to recommend better options. When I challenged him with questions about my insulation and his lack of knowledge on who I was or where I lived, he just mumbled. I also brought up that I was on the TPS register, and abruptly he cut the call, leaving me with a rather unpleasant farewell!

I've had a fair few calls from Tom on 01202 143 172 regarding the insulation on my roof. This number belongs to Digital Solutions Marketing Company, and I’ve been on the receiving end of their persistent calls for more than six years now, even after I've expressly requested they stop. I've made it quite clear that I'd prefer no further contact from them. If they persist and ring me once more, I’m seriously considering reaching out to the Police because it’s starting to make me feel quite uneasy.

I had this chap named "Tom" on the line, and I clocked it after the fourth interaction that I was actually conversing with a robotic voice or a pre-recorded message. He was asserting that my loft insulation was defective, which was quite absurd because it’s perfectly fine. He kept pushing for more "details" from me. This is now the fourth call I’ve received from them. I've flagged it with the Information Commissioner's Office.

The caller inquired, “Am I speaking to the owner of that residence?” To which I replied, “Which residence are you referring to?” He then simply said, “Alright, cheers,” before abruptly ending the call. Today, I've been bombarded with a trio of calls from numbers 01202 143172, 01202 143164, and 01202 143165. It’s evident these must be from some sort of telemarketing headquarters!

This marks the ninth time I've received a call from these pests. Once more, I’ve got a chap claiming to be Chris, insisting that my loft insulation is causing dampness in my home. Apparently, he claims all my neighbours have had theirs sorted, which is absolute nonsense. He's trying to persuade me to let someone come round and check my loft. I’m absolutely fed up with these incessant calls, as they keep changing their number each time. I'm on the ex-directory list and registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet here I am, dealing with this every single day.

I received a call regarding a government initiative for checking my loft insulation. They mentioned that someone would ring me back in half an hour to arrange a visit for the inspection.

For the past fortnight, this number has been buzzing my phone twice daily, pestering me about insulation and related nonsense. I've put it on my block list through BT Call Protect, yet they keep trying to get through with a variation of the original number. I made it clear I don't want any further calls, especially as I work nights and quite frankly, I find the whole thing a bit ridiculous. Next time, I won't be holding back my annoyance. I must say, I'm rather eager to see what tomorrow's call brings. I've been registered with the Telephone Preference Service for ages, though it doesn’t seem to have made much difference!
