4 yearsPurporting to be interested in purchasing shares from ScottishPower raises quite a few eyebrows. Seems rather dubious, if you ask me.ScottishPower4 yearsGot a call from some guy going on about an "energy crisis caused by Boris," claiming that the loft insulation I had fitted a couple of years back was now against the rules and needed swapping out. What freaked me out was that he somehow knew my exact age, then tried to sweeten the deal with a discount because of it. Among all the sales calls I’ve had, this one was easily the rudest and most irritating bloke I’ve dealt with. He wouldn't even let me say no properly - I might have dropped a few swear words before I finally ended the call.Boris4 yearsBeware of scammers claiming to discuss loft insulation! It's crucial not to divulge any personal information when speaking with this number! Stay vigilant!5 yearsCalls about green energy funding, apparently on behalf of the Government.Government5 yearsWhen on earth is BT going to take action to put an end to these scam calls? It’s getting ridiculous!BT5 yearsGot this call on my home phone but didn’t even get through cause of the answering machine. Looks like they’re trying to take advantage of all the mess with energy companies to catch people out. Noticed from another comment that the first few digits match up, then it switches to things like 97, 92 and so on. Seriously glad I’ve got an answering machine set up!5 yearsSomeone rang me claiming it was about some recent eco-friendly upgrades to my house. When I asked how they got my contact details, they said it was from some "renewable energy list". I mentioned my number's on the do-not-call register, so they really shouldn't be phoning me. Then they just ended the call. The very next day, got the exact same call again. Best to just ignore and block them straight away.5 yearsI keep getting calls from this exact same number, must be some kind of scam. I've blocked it and reported it to the ICO.ICO5 yearsI've had several calls from this number and another one that’s quite similar, 01202143293. They never bother to leave a message, which makes me suspect they're just spam. To be honest, I seldom pick up the landline these days, what with all these nuisance calls. If it were someone who really needed to get in touch, I reckon they’d drop me a line so I could ring them back!5 yearsI received a total of five calls yesterday from this number and a few others, with only the last three digits differing each time. Our voicemail clearly states he's our local energy consultant, which makes it all rather frustrating! What a nuisance!5 yearsNot sure about that one.5 yearsI just let it ring through to voicemail, had a quick look up of the number here, and now I’ve gone ahead and blocked it. Thanks to everyone for the info!5 yearsThis bloke said he was from some “green energy” firm but when I asked how he got hold of my unlisted number, he just clammed up and ended the call. Honestly, when will Ofcom stop faffing about and take proper action against these scammers? The Ofcom chief should really justify his fat paycheck by cracking down on these dodgy cold callers. They’re blatantly flouting the law.Ofcom5 yearsKeep getting calls trying to trick me with energy scams. I ended up reporting it to BT CALL PROTECT, just dial 1572 to do the same.5 yearsGot a call today from some bloke named Chris, said he was a "Local Energy Advisor" from "The Green Energy Centre". This was the second time he’s rang me today. He went on about how my loft insulation, supposedly an old "government grant", was causing condensation issues. When he asked my age, I fibbed. Then I asked him where his company was based and he just dropped dead silent. Told him to piss off, but reckon he didn’t catch that, so maybe he’ll call back and I can give him the full earful properly.ChrisThe Green Energy Centre5 yearsGot a call from some robot named 'Chris' about an energy survey. Pretty sure it's a scam, dont bother with it.Chris5 yearsI reckon this might be those energy saving lot again. The base number I keep seeing is 012021432 but the final two digits switch up every time they call.5 yearsSeems like someone was just trying to fish out some details from me.5 yearsSo annoying! Alex from Loft keeps ringing me but the last two digits of the number are always different. I keep blocking them but they just call from another one. Proper frustrating.Alex5 yearsGot a few calls from this number today but when I pick up, there's nobody there. Quite strange.5 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Chris claiming to be our local energy advisor. Total rubbish, didn’t make any sense at all.ChrisUtter5 yearsseeing the reviews, i'm gonna block this number too. they didn't even bother to leave a message!5 yearsJust ended the call straight away.5 yearsI’ve got no clue who called, as they didn’t bother to leave any message. The number’s blocked now.5 yearsSome bloke named Jack gave me a bell, sounded like he was reading off a script or something. I kept trying to cut him off but he wouldn’t stop yammering about some personal sperm system and kept asking if I was over 50! When he hesitated a bit, I told him straight up it was dodgy and then blocked the number. This 012021-ish number has called me a few times now, all the same rubbish.Jack5 yearsEven though I’m on the TPS list, I keep getting loads of calls from 01202 143xxx, like the one from 143297 that called me twice within half an hour. I don’t pick up, just let the answerphone get them, but they always hang up. Checked here and it’s clearly some sort of scam.5 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be with an energy firm, chatting about loft insulation issues. He said there’s some dodgy stuff used in the past decade causing mould and condensation, and it needs checking every couple of years. I told him the council I’m with has flagged this sort of call as a scam. He just said, "fair enough," and I ended the call.5 yearsGot called three times just today!5 yearsI got a call from a guy named Chris who claimed he was an energy consultant nearby. He asked how I was doing, and I just told him I was alright but didn’t want to chat. I heard him say "OK" right as I ended the call.Chris5 yearsi’ve blocked a whole bunch of numbers ending with 049, 062, 085, 180, 175, 188, 270, 272, 273, 280, 287, and 305. total pain in the neck, they just keep bothering me.5 yearsGot a call today from someone pretending to be a government official about loft insulation. Sounded proper official at first but then I got suspicious. They wanted details about my house and said some urgent checks needed doing. Felt dodgy so I ended the call before giving anything. Seems like one of those scams trying to get info or sell nonsense. Watch out if you get something similar!5 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust it!5 yearsSome bloke rang claiming to be “Chris”, said he was an energy advisor in our area. He told me our loft was on some kind of poorly insulated homes list. When I asked him about where he got that info from, he just ended the call. Definitely felt dodgy, probably a scam.Chris5 yearsWatch out, this is a fake energy saving scheme, nothing to do with the government. I wouldn’t trust them at all. From what I’ve seen, they ring from a few different numbers but all start with the same first 8 digits. The last three numbers I recognise are 283, 276, and 271. Avoid any contact!5 yearsGot a call from John who said he was from the local insulation company. Thing is, he’s actually more than 200 miles away!John5 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from 01202 but with the last 3 digits always changing. Never pick up and they don’t bother leaving a voicemail either. It’s a joke trying to block them since it’s never the same number twice. With so many possible combos of those last 3 digits, feels like I’ll be at it all day!5 yearsdefinitely a scam. ive been getting calls from a bunch of numbers all starting with 01202, like 080xxx, then 137xxx and now ones like 143%0cx and 143297. they say they’re energy advisors from the government, saying they found my house is badly insulated. these lot should be shut down and taken to court, they’re just ripping people off.5 yearsThe number was unfamiliar but I answered anyway. There was complete silence on both ends for minutes, no one saying a word. After a while, I hung up. A legit person wouldn’t just stay quiet like that. I've since blocked it, but I reckon they'll probably ring back using a different number.5 yearsClaimed to be my neighbourhood energy consultant but wouldn’t let me get a word in edgeways, even when I insisted I wasn't interested in additional loft insulation! Then, to top it all off, he ended the call abruptly...5 yearsI've had a quiet call today too. In fact, I've had three of these in just a few hours, all from similar numbers. Quite baffling, really!5 yearsI had a similar encounter as someone else mentioned earlier today. This chap claimed to be my neighbourhood energy advisor. He went on about some government-backed energy register that supposedly noted the kind and quantity of insulation in my loft, insisting he needed to verify whether the details were accurate. It felt pretty obvious that he was just fishing for a chance to sell me some new insulation.5 yearsSeems like yet another potential scam call from a number based in Bournemouth. I've had my fair share of issues with various Bournemouth numbers previously. I've gone ahead and blocked this one too.Bournemouth5 yearsHad a call with no one on the other end. Rather strange, to say the least!5 yearsThey claimed to be associated with some sort of government initiative aimed at energy conservation, pitching a no-obligation quote. This is the second occasion they’ve reached out, even though there isn’t any current government programme in place. Quite suspicious, really!5 yearsI’ve had three calls from someone pushing energy-saving solutions, even after I informed them that we're on the TPS list. When I requested their details to file a complaint with the watchdog, they abruptly ended the call. Quite the cheek, isn’t it?TPS5 yearsHush, nothing more to say.5 yearsI didn’t pick up as I’ve been inundated with a ridiculous number of nuisance calls recently. It’s becoming quite tiresome!5 yearsUpon picking up the phone, there was a brief moment of silence - likely the time it took to connect me to an operator. Eventually, a chap named "Chris" introduced himself as my local energy advisor. However, the conversation swiftly came to an end when I questioned him about his identity and how he had acquired my number. Quite suspicious, really!Chris5 yearsI received a phone call regarding some supposedly enhanced loft insulation. The caller inquired about my age group, and when I mentioned I was over 75, he abruptly replied, 'Right, thank you, goodbye.' Quite the swift exit, I must say!5 yearsI received a phone call regarding loft insulation, and the chap on the line mentioned he was aware, through some sort of national database, that my loft only had the basic level of insulation. Quite intriguing!5 yearsI received a call from this number, but they didn’t bother to leave a message. Seems like it’s likely a scam.5 yearsReceived a call from this number at precisely 4:40 PM on the 24th of November, 2021. I picked up, yet there was complete silence on the other end.5 yearsThis bloke insists he’s from the energy advice team in my area, yet he’s over 200 miles off! It’s becoming rather tedious as I keep getting calls from him. What a nuisance!5 yearsReceived a call from a chap claiming I could qualify for a complimentary medical alarm system. He insisted on verifying my age. I promptly told him I wasn’t keen and ended the conversation.5 yearsI received a call from someone claiming there was damp and condensation in my attic and offered a complimentary survey. However, as soon as they inquired whether I owned the property and I responded negatively, they promptly ended the call. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!5 yearsI'm utterly fed up with these plonkers persistently pestering our number; they called us twice today. They can take a hike, honestly!5 yearsIf you let these folks know that the property doesn’t belong to you and that you’re merely a tenant, they often tend to back off quite quickly.5 yearsThe caller had a rather robotic tone and claimed to be representing the "Residential Green Standard Centre, South West London". However, the area code seemed to point to Bournemouth instead. He inquired about my age group and my loft insulation, then told me to jot down a number on some paper, promising that his supervisor would give me a call in around twenty minutes. The number in question was 07835 018238, which I chose to ignore.Residential Green Standard CentreWest LondonBournemouth5 yearsI've had a right nuisance with some bloke ringing me thrice now. Each call’s come from a different number, yet they all seem to be from Bournemouth. It’s likely he’s on the prowl, looking for unsuspecting folks with homes that are easy pickings for a break-in.BournemouthSubmit Your Own Report (01202 143297)
