4 yearsAs soon as they saw I wasn’t easy to trick, they just hung up on me.5 yearsBeware of Chris, who claims to be an expert in loft insulation. It’s a con!Chris5 yearsGot calls from someone named Chris claiming to be from the energy company, all the numbers begin with 01202159 (I'm currently blocking them). He said our council records show our loft insulation doesn’t meet building regulations - but he couldn't even remember the first two letters of our postcode. Proper con artists, honestly!Chris5 yearsGot called three times today, but the moment my voicemail picked up, they just hung up. Seems pretty dodgy, probably a scam or something.5 yearsso far ive gotten calls from like 20 different numbers, and the last three ive noticed keep switching all the time.5 yearsGot a call with no one speaking on the other end. Very weird!5 yearsYesterday afternoon, I got three calls one after another from numbers that looked pretty much the same. Each time there was just silence, then they’d suddenly hang up. So I blocked those numbers. Then this morning at 9:42, another call came from a very similar number. The bloke said his name was Chris and claimed to be an editor nearby or something. I didn’t quite catch what he said first, so I asked him to repeat it. When he did, his voice had this weird echo and still wasn’t clear. I told him not to ring me again and hung up straight away.Chris5 yearssomebody rang my old mum and just wouldnt stop pushing all these doom stories if we dont use their service. totally annoying, pestering and full of nonsense. they ask sneaky questions and once they get a bit of info, they keep on at you non stop. absolute scumbags, total rubbish. if they phone you, just hang up straight away.5 yearsComplete rubbish, just a total waste of my time.5 yearsGot a call from a company about loft insulation, says they’re pushing it because there’s some government help available for certain folks right now. Trying to sell me on getting my loft insulated using that deal.5 yearsI just ignored the call.5 yearsHad no clue who it was, so I just ignored it since I get calls from these numbers pretty frequently.5 yearsI answered the phone and all I got was silence, made me think it was one of those robotic calls or something.5 yearsOver the past week i've been getting a load of calls from 01202 1591xx numbers, all this guy Chris calling himself an energy expert, but it’s just a recorded message every time. Proper annoying spam!Chris5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they’d inspect my roof for £75. Turned out to be one of those loft insulation scams. They push this spray foam stuff that’s not only a rip-off but can actually mess up your loft. Watch out, it’s all a trick to sell something you don’t need!5 yearsI got a call from this number, so I called back since I was waiting for someone from that area to ring me. When I answered, there was a recorded message saying it was a market research firm and they might try calling again. I’ve blocked the number now - no more of that for me.5 yearsI saw an unknown number on my phone but didn’t pick up, so it went to voicemail. When I checked, there was no message, just a lot of static noise.5 yearsGot three calls already from this one and some other 012021591.. numbers. They keep saying they’re “Chris, your local energy adviser.” Honestly, OffCom really needs to crack down on firms using these call-relay systems for foreign spam callers and take legal action against the businesses behind it.ChrisOffCom5 yearsGot a call from someone called Chris, supposed to be from an energy company! He said my address was on some block stone list or something? The line was so scratchy I couldn’t even understand properly, so I just told him to buzz off and ended the call.Chris5 yearsI've had nonstop calls from numbers starting with 01202159 181, 182, and 187 over the last day. They've rung me about 5 times, really frustrating since I'm expecting a crucial call from the hospital. Each time they ring, they stay on the line until my answerphone picks up, then they just hang up without saying anything. It's so annoying!5 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Alex claiming he’s from an energy company, saying he’d sort out a loft survey for me. I just said ‘nah, thanks’ and ended the call.Alex5 yearsGot a call from an energy firm, I asked them to take me off their call list but they just ended the call on me.5 yearsI picked up the call but it just went straight to voicemail, no message left or anything.5 yearsLoads of 01202 numbers get used by these scammers. Honestly, it’s just one of many they have.5 yearsI didn't pick up but saw the Bournemouth area code and knew it was just one of the many similar numbers that have been ringing me off and on this week. It's so frustrating because I keep blocking each one on my Call Protect app, yet they just ring back from another number that's only a tiny bit different.Bournemouth5 yearsThis morning my landline, which I only use for hospital calls, got a ring but nobody left a message.5 yearsWe’ve had yet another call from Bournemouth come up on our caller ID, the number's only different in the last three digits. You'd think they’d figure out by now that we're not picking up! On the bright side, if they’re pestering us, I guess someone else isn’t getting hassled by them.BournemouthSubmit Your Own Report (01202 159187)
