01202143179 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01202143179 👆 is reported as a persistent energy and loft insulation scam frequently targeting UK residents with unsolicited calls from numbers with similar Bournemouth area codes. Callers impersonate local government or energy advisors, often asking intrusive questions about property details and age, then abruptly ending calls when challenged. The scammers employ tactics such as changing the last digits of their phone numbers to bypass blocking and rarely leave messages. Many recipients report aggressive or silent calls, hang-ups upon questioning, and uninvited promises of free surveys or government grants. The consensus advises against answering or engaging with these calls, recommends blocking the numbers, and highlights that the calls often violate the Telephone Preference Service. Vigilance is essential to avoid falling victim to this ongoing nuisance.

They rang but left no voicemail, so it can’t be that urgent I guess.

Got calls from some guy named Patrick wanting to chat about loft insulation. As soon as I said something to question him, he hung up straight away. Now the bloke's ringing me up to three times daily!

Heads up, I think this is one of those dodgy energy scams. They keep ringing you multiple times daily and always tweak the last three digits of the phone number. So when you block one, they just call from nearly the same number but with those last three digits different, tricking you into answering. It’s like this never-ending cycle that lasts for days. Be careful!

Had a voicemail from this number, and in the background, you could totally hear a bunch of people talking like it was some call centre. I was just about to bin it, but then the bloke on the line shouted something like 'tell them to f*** off' right before hanging up. Quite the surprise!
5 years
The bloke sounded quite polite and said he was from the energy company for our area (won't say which one). When I asked him where he got our number from - especially since we're on the TPS and have XD on - he just hung up! Honestly, we've had loads of calls like this before, so it’s a bit of a recurring scam.

I got a call from 01202143179, and the man said his name was Patrick, claiming to be from some Government Energy Company. They say there’s something wrong with the insulation in my loft. Funny thing is, before this, the guy used to call himself Chris, then John, and now Patrick. It’s all the same dodgy scam though.

Got a call from this number earlier, but they didn't say anything or leave a voicemail. Seeing what others have said here, I've decided to just block it.

Certainly raises eyebrows, doesn’t it? The caller claimed to be reaching out to discuss government policies regarding energy advice, but then swiftly pivoted to probing whether we actually owned our home. It all felt rather dodgy, if I'm honest. I ended the call feeling quite uneasy, and it seems I'm not alone in my concerns-plenty of others have reported similar experiences.

I received a follow-up call regarding scheduling an appointment. The initial call was about replacing loft insulation, which they claimed was necessary due to some dampness detected in the survey. Seriously? Even Santa's got a chuckle out of that! Ho Ho Ho!

Got the same bloke ringing as last week, all on about loft insulation again. I picked up and there was this weird silence for a few seconds before a polite man started talking. The number’s from Bournemouth, so I’m guessing they’ll be ringing back. Told my mum to watch out if she answers it. They might be legit since I looked up the number.

I got a call showing a Bournemouth area code earlier. The guy claimed to be some kind of energy advisor for my area. When I asked him to tell me exactly what area that was, he just ended the call straight away. Then, about an hour later, another call came through from 01202143162, which I reckon was from the same lot of scammers.

I get calls from them like 3 times a day, mostly when I pick up and try to talk, but half the time they just stay silent. Now I've started blowing a police whistle right by the phone whenever they ring! They keep changing the last few numbers of their number too. This has been going on for weeks, honestly it’s about time someone put a stop to it.

I answered the phone with a simple "Hello" but no one replied. I tried again, and there was just a click before the line went dead. It felt like one of those voice-activated scams. Later, someone named "Chris" rang up asking about my home's insulation. When I asked where he got my number, he claimed it was from a government database. I said I was "happy to hear that" and mentioned I wanted to check that info myself while he was still listening. Immediately, he thanked me and hung up!

I got a call from someone saying they were an energy expert nearby, but they rang from a Bournemouth number even though I’m in Derbyshire.

I got a call from someone pretending to be my local energy advisor, telling me my loft insulation might be damp and offered to check it for free. Then, about 30 minutes later, the same number rang back, but this time it was to pitch a quote for a new driveway, which they said was free and would be valid for a whole year. Bit of a weird coincidence, eh?

Got a call outta the blue even tho we’re on the TPS list, so I guess it was just a cold call. The bloke called himself Chris and kept bringing up stuff about ‘energy’ and some ‘government’ mumbo jumbo in this pushy tone. I could see how someone vulnerable might get taken in by that. He was really rude too, shouting over us when we tried to tell him about TPS. Once he talked over us like that, we just hung up.

At about 3.30pm on 9/11/21, I got a call from 01202143179. I picked up and kept saying "hello" a few times before a bloke finally spoke. He started telling me our info showed we had rubbish loft insulation - something about that old yellow fluffy stuff. When I told him we’re sick of these nuisance calls and that we’ve signed up to the TPS, he quickly hung up on me! Pretty clear it’s just another scam, and these calls keep coming even though we’re on the do-not-call list.

I received a call regarding loft insulation, and when I hesitated to share my age-refusing to fit into the boxes of 50-80 or 80-plus-the caller became rather insistent. When I pressed them on the reasoning behind this age inquiry, they abruptly ended the conversation. Quite bizarre, if you ask me!
