01202143285 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01202143285 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving numerous slightly varied numbers originating from the Bournemouth area code, often linked to loft insulation and energy-saving pitches. Callers, frequently claiming to be named Chris or other common first names, use scripted sales tactics with no genuine local presence and hang up when questioned. They rarely leave messages and may use recorded or silent calls aimed at eliciting personal details. Many recipients are older or vulnerable, making the calls potentially distressing. Despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service, calls continue unabated, with concerns about inadequate telecom enforcement. The scam has been traced to a known individual fraudulently promoting unnecessary home improvements. Users are advised to block numbers, avoid sharing personal data, report the activity via official fraud portals, and inform vulnerable acquaintances.

They ring every month and leave a voicemail asking me to call back if I want them to stop all the marketing calls. Sounds a bit fishy to me, don’t you think?

They’ve been ringing non stop, saying it’s HMRC but the number’s blocked every time. It’s really annoying.

Got a voicemail from someone saying they were from HMRC. They used my name and told me to ring 0300 322 7840, asking for my benefits claim or national insurance number. Turns out, 0300 322 7840 is known as a phishing scam number linked to HMRC.

I received a phone call from a chap named "John," who mentioned he was doing a survey regarding loft insulation. To be honest, I can't shake the feeling that it might be a clever ruse to pitch sales tactics rather than a genuine inquiry.

Whenever I pick up calls from 01202143 numbers, there's silence on the other end so I just end up hanging up. Pretty sure it's just some dodgy sales call or a scam.

I received a voicemail indicating that the call was from some sort of Digital Solutions trading firm. They presented an option to hit 1 if one wished to opt-out of any further communications. However, I’d advise against that, as it could result in the call being redirected abroad, beyond UK borders. The same concern applies to the numbers 01202 143284 and 01202 143286. It’s a clear-cut case of a scam or fraudulent activity.

There was a number that appeared on my phone’s screen but my phone never actually rang. Seems like they want you to ring them back so they can sneak a big charge onto your bill. I just went ahead and blocked it.

He rang my elderly mother, who can hardly hear a thing, so he might as well have been talking to a brick wall! I've warned her that he’s likely up to no good, as I've done a bit of digging on his number online and it smells dodgy to me!

This was just like what others said. Got a call from someone saying his name was Chris and he was our area's Energy Advisor or something like that (said he was calling from Bournemouth? Not likely, we're up North). He kept insisting our loft insulation was old and needed updating. I asked him repeatedly “who are you working for?” but he never answered and just kept repeating the same spiel. Ended the call right there.

Got a call from some guy claiming to be an energy advisor from just down the road. Local, he says - yeah right! The number shows Bournemouth, but I'm over 200 miles away. Definitely sounds like another dodgy script being read, at least this time it wasn’t one of those foreign scammers on the line.

Over the past couple months, I've received about six calls from this number. Each time, a recorded voice says something like "Hi, Simon here from your local energy consultant," mentioning your postcode. Then it goes on with, "hope you’re doing okay today?" If you don’t respond, there’s a long pause before it just hangs up. I guess if you try to answer, they might transfer you somewhere. Tried searching the number online but couldn’t find anything about it.

I've been getting calls loads of times but the last three numbers always switch up. I never pick up and they never bother to leave a voicemail. Feels like a total scam to me. Blocking doesn’t seem much use since the number’s always different.

Someone keeps phoning me claiming to be Chris, and he says he's an energy advisor around here. He calls quite a lot, but each time from a different number beginning with 01202. Whenever I try ringing back, the line just cuts off straight away. Without a doubt, it’s a scam! For me, it’s just a bit annoying, but I reckon it could be risky for folks who aren’t so cautious.

I've been getting calls off 01202 numbers loads lately, like one that ended in 143285. Happens all the time, calls keep coming and I never pick up since they never leave a voicemail. Blocking does nothing as they just switch up the last three digits to get round it. So annoying!

Got a call from some bloke saying he’s from Windows and Doors, asking how old our windows are and if we fancied replacing them. Said something about a new ‘scrappage scheme’. Also mentioned they were setting up a branch nearby but wouldn’t say exactly where when I asked. The line cut out once but then he called back anyway, bit odd if you ask me.

This morning I got four calls, each time the last three digits of the number were different. A man said he was Chris from some energy company and claimed they were calling around my postcode.

Been getting calls from this Bournemouth number on and off for a few weeks now. Picked up this morning and a bloke named Chris said he was from Eco Energy. When I asked where he was calling from, he said south west London, but went silent once I mentioned the local code. Ended the call and blocked the number through B.T., though annoyingly you have to actually answer to do that.

DO NOT ANSWER these callers, they’re nothing but pests. They called pretending to be from a local loft insulation survey and started asking if I was aged between 55-75 or 75-85. When I told them I’m under 50, they just said thanks and hung up. What they didn't realise was that this is a secure line, monitored by the police because it’s a business phone. We’ve got loads of filters blocking numbers, so it’s a mystery how they got through, but the authorities will handle it. Please warn any elderly family or friends, it’s dodgy how they only want to chat to older folks.

Some of the comments here don’t match what happened to me. This very number rang me up pretending to be TalkTalk and told me to drop my name after a beep.

Received a rather curious call recently from a window firm attempting to persuade me to get a quote as part of the "new scrappage initiative" happening in our locality. Quite amusing, really, as I recall their representatives distributing flyers not long ago. They mentioned something about setting up a new branch nearby, yet when I probed for the actual location, they suddenly went quiet. Odd behaviour, wouldn’t you say?

It appears that the name associated with this number is Stuart Wright, born on the 19th of January, 1965. Furthermore, this particular number-and others like it, which seem to be part of the same fraudulent act-can be traced back to an address located at 21a Plymouth Road, Barnt Green, Birmingham, B45 8JF. At least we've managed to pinpoint where this con artist resides! It's no surprise given he resides in an extravagant mansion worth a fortune; it seems he profits by swindling unsuspecting individuals! This individual appears to be a bit of a tech aficionado and seems to be linked to a multitude of calls regarding loft insulation scams.

As many have rightly pointed out, the culprit behind this loft con is a chap named Stuart Wright, residing at 21a Plymouth Road, Barnt Green in Birmingham. This number, along with several others, is all linked to him personally. It’s quite evident how he manages such a lovely home - it’s all funded by his dodgy dealings! Despite having been flagged multiple times, he continues his deceitful ways. Let’s keep on reporting him so that authorities can finally step in - none of us ought to endure this nonsense!

I got a call from some energy advisor who claimed they could help me cut down my fuel bills. Honestly, I think the news is completely off - they’re making it sound like there’s a huge energy crisis, but I reckon it’s just suppliers trying to squeeze more cash out of us. There's no real shortage at all.
