Most callers claim to be local energy advisers, but the number is often linked to scams, with suspicions of spoofing and overseas origins.

5 yearsGot a call from someone called Chris asking about insulation for the loft. He mentioned he's called me a few times already. Definitely not from around here. Thankfully, he ended the call before I could hang up on him.Chris5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me no matter what I do.5 yearsThey claim your insulation aint good enough “based on their records” or something? Like, what records and who even keeps tabs on that? When I asked, they were really dodgy and I just told them my insulation was done recently, then they just ended the call. Basically, they come check your loft and then push you to get their insulation done, which costs a ton!5 yearsThis number, and a couple of versions with slightly different last digits, have kept ringing me. I don’t know anyone from Bournemouth, so I’ve set my phone’s call blocker to automatically block that area code. Actually, they wouldn’t get past even if I didn’t, since my call blocker makes callers say their name first, and I get to decide whether to pick up. Of course, calls from people on my contacts or safe list come through without any hassle.Bournemouth5 yearsChatted with this bloke for a good few minutes but something just felt off - pretty sure it was a scam!5 yearsBig thanks to everyone sharing their heads-up, those stories really help a lot. Also, for people who've flagged this as a "cold call" to TPS, I dug a bit deeper using ukphoneinfo[###], which is a pretty trustworthy source. Turns out, the 01202 code is for Bournemouth and nearby places, but this particular number doesn't seem to belong to any official range. So if you’ve had a ring from it, chances are the caller’s faking their details.Telephone Preference ServiceBournemouth5 yearsSome bloke rang me up claiming his name was Chris and that he was an eco advisor working in my area. I found it odd he already knew my postcode, so I asked him to tell me what it was. As soon as I did, he hung up straight away.Chris5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, no message left. I didn’t answer cause it felt a bit dodgy, maybe some kind of scam or just someone being creepy. Wouldn’t bother speaking to them if I were you.5 yearsBeen getting calls from similar numbers all day, just the last two digits different every time. I’ve blocked every single one through BT now.5 yearsGot a missed call with no sound while I was in, they didn’t say who they were or leave a message. Looked it up and blocked the number straight away. Then, about half an hour later, a call came from 01202159154 too.5 yearsI've looked it up and Ofcom indicates that numbers beginning with 01202159 aren’t even assigned. So, it’s probably some dodgy scammer abroad using VoIP to fake the number. These people are usually fishing for your personal details or bank info to rob you, and since they’re not in the UK, the TPS or any local authorities can’t touch them. Watch out and don’t trust these calls!OfcomTelephone Preference ServiceUK5 yearsI got a call from some bloke named Chris, not the first time either. I’d already asked him to take my info off their list, especially since I’m signed up with TPS, but that didn’t seem to matter. He was proper reading straight from a script and kept going on about how the loft insulation could cause mould. As someone who works in building, I know I’ve put in the newest stuff that’s all above board. Still, he rings me up in the evening, which is pretty irritating.ChrisTelephone Preference Service5 yearsThe phone kept buzzing so I quickly searched the number and found out it was some kind of scam, I ignored it and then blocked it straight away.5 yearsGot a call from someone called 'Chris' on our landline, telling me my "yellow fluffy loft insulation" was dangerous and had to be changed. What a load of nonsense. We're ex-directory and signed up to the telephone preference service, but it made no difference. Don’t fall for it, it’s definitely a scam.ChrisTelephone Preference Service5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were an energy consultant nearby, asking how I was doing. As soon as I said I was alright, they just hung up on me. The number was 01202159156.5 yearsThis number has rung me a few times now but every time there's just dead silence when I pick up.5 yearsGot a call from some bloke calling himself Chris, claiming to be the energy expert for our area. Local? Nah, he was ringing from a Bournemouth number, and I'm here in Derbyshire. He started asking odd questions about what I'd got stored in my loft. Didn't hang about, just cut the call and put his number straight onto the TPS list.ChrisBournemouthDerbyshireTelephone Preference Service5 yearsKeeps ringing me from numbers that look alike, so I decided to block em!5 yearsGot a robo call earlier; put a stop to it straight away.5 yearsGot a ring from some bloke called Chris, said he was from the energy company.Chris5 yearsWe didn’t pick up as the number was unfamiliar, and they hung up straight away. Nowadays, we’re pretty wary of any call starting with 01202.5 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming to be from a company running free surveys on loft insulation round my way. According to him, older types of insulation caused damp but there’s a new product that sorted that out. I asked who was behind it, and he said it was some government-supported research survey, saying loads of neighbours already agreed to it. I wasn’t convinced as it all sounded like a random cold call and told him I wasn’t interested, then ended the chat. Honestly, I found it quite annoying and feel others should watch out for this number in case they get a call like that.5 yearsHad someone called me about Chris for mould in the loft, I let him wait a bit to keep him occupied, seemed like a total scam to me.Chris5 yearsGot a call from Chris telling me to check my attic. I’m 82, so that’s not exactly easy for me!Chris5 yearsI keep getting calls from this Chris guy who says he’s from some local energy company. He rings me from all sorts of different numbers. Definitely feels like a scam to me.Chris5 yearsGot a call from someone named 'Chris' claiming to be from 'your neighbourhood energy company', asking weird questions about 'fluffy yellow insulation in the attic'. Thing is, we own this massive old industrial ceramics works from the 1800s! I told him I’ve never even been up in the loft, and then he just abruptly ended the call. It felt like there were awkward pauses, like a robot was processing my replies or something. Definitely a SCAM.Chris5 yearsI answered the phone, but the call terminated as soon as I did. I don't recognise the number at all.5 yearsReceived a call just a mere three minutes ago, but there was utter silence on the other end of the line.5 yearsThis number has been ringing me for roughly a month now without fail, and yet, there's never a response when I pick up. Quite odd, really!5 yearsI feel the same way...5 yearsI received a rather unexpected call about loft insulation. When I inquired about how they managed to obtain my contact details, the chap suddenly lost interest in chatting. Quite peculiar, really.5 yearsI've received numerous calls from this number, and every time I answer, it's just dead air. Quite perplexing, isn't it?5 yearsIt seems to ring incessantly, around half a dozen times daily. I always avoid answering calls from unidentified numbers.5 yearsThe moment my phone rang, I had a feeling something was off, so I decided to look up the number. Turns out, it was just another scam. They didn’t bother to leave a message on my answering machine, so there's no way I'm calling them back.5 yearsIt seems to be some sort of loft insulation con, no question about it. The chap on the other end assumed I was the previous occupant, an elderly lady, and promptly cut the call when he figured out I wasn’t going to play along. These kinds of people really get on my nerves!5 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be ‘Chris’, an eco adviser for my local area. It took me aback that a stranger would have my postcode details, so I asked him to confirm it. As soon as I did that, he hung up without a word. Quite peculiar!Chris5 yearsI experienced the very same thing. As soon as I picked up, the call ended abruptly. I think I’ll just disregard any future attempts from them.5 yearsAbsolutely, I'm in the same boat. Dealing with loft insulation nonsense. We're registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and let me tell you, he wasn’t too pleased when informed he was flouting the law.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be 'Chris', an environmental consultant for my area. I found it rather peculiar that a stranger would know my postcode, so I decided to probe further by asking him to confirm it. As soon as I did, he hung up without a word! Quite the strange encounter, I must say.ChrisSubmit Your Own Report (01202 159156)
