01202159161 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01202159161 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance call linked to a scam involving fake energy advisors, often using the name "Chris" and claiming to offer loft insulation surveys or energy advice. Callers frequently ignore when answered or end calls abruptly, refusing to disclose company names. Many recipients are registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and have reported repeated calls despite this. The number is associated with frequent bulk calling, targeting various regions beyond its local Bournemouth code and often aimed at older or vulnerable individuals.

I got a call from 01202 159161 and at first, they claimed it was for a survey. But right after I ended the call, the same number kept ringing me every half hour throughout the entire day. It was really annoying!

chris here again - just a heads up, 01202 is definitely the Bournemouth area code but numbers starting with 1xxx arent possible since those are reserved for things like emergency services, operators and bt stuff!

I've signed up with the TPS and have flagged this number along with three other similar ones several times. The person on the phone, who calls himself "Chris," has been told repeatedly that we're on the TPS list. They seem to pause for a few weeks but then get back at it again. It's actually a dodgy energy scam pretending to be some sort of marketing firm.

I've been getting calls non stop from different numbers all starting 01202, always from the same batch or whatever. I try blocking every single one that rings but they just switch to a new number each time. Proper annoying!

I got a call from a bloke claiming to be Chris, said he was my local energy advisor or something. He wanted to know my name, but I wasn’t having it, so I didn’t say. Then he goes on about how they’ve noticed I haven’t had a home insulation check done and how that might cause damp or heat loss. Bit odd he’d know that without asking me first. Told him straight up to jog on after that.

They just hung up as soon as my answerphone kicked in - no message or anything, same as last time.

I ignored the call since the number was unfamiliar, but from what others are saying, it seems like it might be some sort of energy scam or just unwanted telemarketing.

I’ve noticed calls coming in roughly about 5pm quite a bit. Today, I just let it ring over to voicemail to see who it was, but the moment it went to answer machine, the caller just dropped. Thinking it’s probably another one of those scam calls, like what others have mentioned here.

got a call about 10 days back from someone called chris who claimed to be an energy advisor in the area, but it was from a different number so i just blocked it. he was talking about the insulation in my loft possibly causing damp problems. i mentioned that i’ve got family who are builders and they’d handle any damp issues if there were any. so when he rang me again today, i just ended the call right away.

I got a call from someone saying they were an energy adviser from around here, but as soon as they noticed I wasn’t picking up and just my voicemail answered, they went quiet.

I've had this bloke Chris ring me at work, even though we don't have a loft or anything like that. When I told him there was no loft, he just hung up on me. Now he's gone and called my home phone, tried the same chat, and when I asked which company he was from, the phone just cut off. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from 01202159161 but didn't answer since I didn’t know it. They didn't bother to leave a voicemail either, so I just blocked the number straight away!

This bloke rang up claiming to be some “local energy expert nearby”. Didn’t mention what firm he was working for or even say which area he was from. Then he asked if I owned the house. When I told him I’m just a tenant, he quickly said “thanks for your time” and ended the call. Looks like a total scam to me.

I had a phone call from this number around 5:05 PM. They claimed to be representing Eco Centre and were rather courteous in their approach. However, I informed them that my energy dealings are all managed through my landlord. When I inquired how they managed to obtain my number, especially since it’s ex-directory and I’m registered with the TPS, they had no response and I decided to end the conversation.

This bloke claiming to be an energy consultant-Chris, apparently-has been ringing me from a Bournemouth number while I’m all the way over in Kent. Trust me, steer clear of him! Best to avoid returning any calls or engaging in conversation. It’s clearly dodgy business! I’ve also noticed similar calls coming through from numbers ending in 156, 157, 158, and so forth. Just a heads up, it’s definitely a scam!

I've been trying to sell loft insulation lately, and when I mentioned TPS, they abruptly ended the call. Such an irritation!

Received a call from someone claiming to be my “local” energy consultant, attempting to arrange a visit for a loft survey. I'm situated in Suffolk, yet this number appears to be registered in Bournemouth! The chap was curious to know whether I was in the 50-80 or 80+ age bracket. The moment I mentioned I was younger than that, he abruptly ended the call. It certainly gives off the impression of a scam targeting older folks.

It seems like someone is attempting to persuade you to change your energy provider to one that comes with a hefty cost.

I received a call from what seemed to be a supposed energy provider. I mentioned I was on the Telephone Preference Service and inquired about the reason for their call, yet they just wouldn't veer off their pre-prepared script. Eventually, I just ended the call.

I've come across loft insulation services in my neighbourhood that seem rather dodgy. It's the same phone number, just being used under a brand new company name this month. Very suspicious!

Yet again, it’s another message about loft insulation and energy tips. Quite the recurring theme, isn't it?

I seem to receive a minimum of three calls per day from this number. Each time, no one ever picks up, and the phone just keeps ringing until the voicemail is on the brink of kicking in. Curiously, they never bother to leave a message. From what I’ve gathered, it appears to be some marketing ploy by an energy firm promoting loft insulation services.

I was inundated with seven calls today, all happening between 2 o'clock and 5:28 in the afternoon.

I've received seven calls from this number today, all within the time frame of 2 PM and about half past five. They seem hell-bent on peddling loft insulation, which is rather amusing, considering I live in a flat on the ground floor! Quite the ridiculous sales tactic, if you ask me!
