Phone number ☎️ 01202159156 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance primarily involving a caller identifying as "Chris," who alleges issues with loft insulation and offers surveys or replacement services. Most callers claim to be local energy advisers, but the number is often linked to scams, with suspicions of spoofing and overseas origins. Callers frequently use scripted pitches, ignore requests to be removed from databases, and continue calling despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service. Multiple users advise caution, noting no credible company or official backing, attempts to pressure for costly insulation work, and tactics that may lead to fraud or identity theft. Recipients commonly experience silent calls or abrupt hang-ups when questioned. Blocking the number and reporting to official bodies is recommended to avoid harassment and potential scams.

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 just dropped straight away. Don’t recognise the number at all.5 yearsJust got a call a few minutes back, but nobody said a word when I answered.5 yearsThey've been ringing me for weeks now but I just haven't picked up.5 yearsI got the exact same call, really annoying!5 yearsGot a call the other day from someone pushing loft insulation. The moment I asked how they found my number, they suddenly lost all interest in talking to me.5 yearsI’ve gotten a few calls from this number but every time it just goes silent when I answer.5 yearsIt rings like mad, probably about half a dozen times daily... I just don’t answer numbers I’m not familiar with.5 yearsWhen my phone went off, I quickly searched the number online and found out it's a scam. They didn't even bother leaving a message on my voicemail, so I’m definitely not calling back.5 yearsSome bloke called about loft insulation, seemed like a total scam to me. He must've assumed I was the elderly lady who lived here before, but once he saw I wasn’t buying it, he just ended the call. Can’t stand those sort of calls.5 yearsSome bloke called saying he was Chris, claiming to be an eco advisor for my area. It caught me off guard, coz how would he even know my postcode? So I asked him to tell me my postcode, and as soon as I did, he just hung up straight away. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Chris5 yearsI did the same thing, I just ended the call as soon as I picked up. Probably best to just not bother with it next time.5 yearsI had the same thing, some guy calling about loft insulation. We’re registered on the TPS and he didn’t seem too happy when I pointed out he was actually breaking the law.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsSome bloke called me claiming to be ‘Chris’, saying he was some kind of eco consultant for my area. I found it odd he actually knew my postcode straight away, so I asked him to tell me what it was. As soon as I did, he just hung up on me. Really dodgy if you ask me.ChrisSubmit Your Own Report (01202 159156)
