Reports on phone number 01202159288
5 yearsWhen I answered the call, there was nothing but silence. Other websites indicate that it might be a scam related to loft insulation. I've decided to block the number.5 yearsChris claimed to be my local energy provider, which confused me since I’m based in Devon. When I asked how he got my phone number, he just ended the call straight away. My number is registered on the Do Not Call list, yet he’s phoned me five times over a couple of days, each time changing the extension slightly. The recent numbers he’s been calling from are 01210 159 530 with extensions like 517, 522, 515, and 523. During today’s call, I said, “Hello Chris, noticed you've been ringing me five times in two days,” and he instantly hung up. If you don’t have anyone with a 01202 dialling code and your phone rings from there, it’s probably best to mark that as a spam call.ChrisDevon5 yearsThis company has been pestering my elderly mum, who’s quite vulnerable, like mad. They ring her up sometimes even two times a day saying her loft insulation has to be replaced and it’ll cost £4,000. She actually let them in once! I was furious when I found out they stayed over three hours.5 yearsI kept getting loads of calls for someone called Chris, all starting with 01202 159 but the last three numbers kept changing. It's like this bloke has bought loads of phone numbers and keeps ringing from different ones, so blocking one number was pointless because another would pop up. It got so bad I just gave up and cut off my landline, now I only use my mobile. Honestly, it’s proper harassment and this guy ought to be stopped by the authorities.Chris5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise. Answered it, but no one said a word, just silence - pretty annoying honestly. They rang once yesterday afternoon and then again this morning. Just a bit of a hassle really.5 yearsthis guy chris called saying he was from my energy company, i just said ‘bye’ and ended the call.Chris5 yearsI got a call from some outfit named Digital Solutions Marketing out of Bournemouth. They said if I hit 1, they wouldn’t bother me again. I went ahead and pressed it, but I’m pretty sure they’ll still be ringing me up. Just another automated call, really.Digital Solutions MarketingBournemouth5 yearsGot blocked by BT, no idea why. Tried calling back but just got cut off straight away. Really frustrating.5 yearsSome bloke called me saying my loft insulation needed sortin out. When I told him I don't even have a loft, he just hung up straight away. Definitely sounds like a dodgy scam to me.5 yearsI picked up but there was no response. Strange.5 yearsbt done me dirty, had to block their number.BT5 yearsI got a call about loft insulation needing to be replaced as it might be causing damp. When I asked what kind they were planning to use, he said spray foam. I couldn’t help but chuckle and told him if he’d watched that consumer show recently, he’d know someone had to pay loads to take it out just so their house buyer could get a mortgage. After that, he just cut me off without a single word.5 yearsI just picked up and the person on the other end hung up straightaway. In the past couple of months, I've had a couple of dodgy calls about insulation, so I'm guessing this is another scam attempt. Seems like these scammers never give up!5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be an energy advisor from around here, but it felt really off. Asked for loads of personal info, so I ended the chat quick. Definitely a dodgy local energy scam, watch out!5 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be Chris, an energy advisor from Bournemouth, talking about loft insulation. Seemed a bit dodgy to me - definitely felt like a scam.ChrisBournemouth5 yearsI got a call saying I needed to sort out my loft insulation. I told them it had already been done not long ago and then they just ended the call.5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Chris from Green Eco Centre in London. He mentioned that a guy named Jones nearby had recently had their loft insulated and said my place was one of the last ones they hadn’t signed up yet. He asked how old I was. When I asked for more details and a contact number to ring back, he just said “have a good day” and ended the call. It felt dodgy to me, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.ChrisGreen Ecco CentreLondonJones5 yearsSome bloke named Chris rang me, claiming he was from the energy company and said our loft insulation needed updating. I told him to wait while I quickly looked up their details on Google and asked him to say the firm’s name again. Then he just hung up on me.Chris5 yearsJust got a call from some bloke named Chris claiming to be a local energy advisor. Total rubbish, don’t trust it at all.Chris5 yearsThis bloke called saying he was some energy guy from round here. I told him I was busy, but then he just hung up on me! Proper rude if you ask me, and definitely feels like a scam with how quick he cut me off. He claimed he’s from Bournemouth, but I’m in Leicester - that’s miles away, so no way he’s local!ChrisBournemouthLeicestershire5 yearsSome bloke called John saying he was from Driveway or something, asking if I still had a driveway at my place. Totally random call out of the blue. I told him he’d dialled the wrong number and then just cut off. Goodbye John, whoever you are!JohnDriveway5 yearsIt's the same person ringing me from various 01202 numbers. Definitely a scam.5 yearsHad someone call claiming to be an energy advisor, felt dodgy to me. Could quite easily be a scam, so just be careful folks.5 yearsI just ended the call straight away.5 yearsThey keep ringing me up, sometimes a couple of times daily, claiming to be local energy consultants. I mean, calling Birmingham local when I’m in Basingstoke is a bit cheeky! Now, I just put the phone down as soon as they start talking.BirminghamBasingstoke5 yearsGot a call where the person mentioned something about energy, I told them to hang on as I’m on the TPS, so they really shouldn’t be ringing me without permission.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Chris claiming to be an energy consultant. He said he was nearby but Bournemouth isn’t anywhere near Cambridgeshire as far as I know. Could be a telemarketer or maybe even a scam, who knows.ChrisBournemouthCambridgeshire5 yearsGot another unwanted ring from these numbers today, making it twice now. The earlier one came around 2:30 in the afternoon from 01202 159 287. I looked it up online just as it was ringing and spotted it was a spam number, so I ignored it. Did the same when this one called. Looks like this entire set is heading straight onto my block list, even though my landline is registered with the TPS.TPS5 yearsThis guy Chris popped up again, repeating what others have said. He claimed that old-fashioned fibreglass insulation in lofts leads to damp issues. He tried to get me to agree to a free inspection. But once I mentioned it’s actually the spray foam they put on rafters that’s the real damp culprit, and that banks won’t give mortgages on homes with it, he just ended the call.Chris5 yearsGot a call about some deal on solar panels. Mentioned I’m putting the house on the market soon. They just cut off and the line dropped.5 yearsGot a couple of calls from this same code. The guy said something about “updating loft insulation.” I kept saying “No, no, no” and asked him which part he didn’t get before I told him I was ending the call.5 yearsHad a couple of calls from this number in about half an hour, ignored both times and just let it ring out to the voicemail - but nothing’s been left. I’m starting to think it’s maybe a scam, especially since I’ve had loads of calls from various numbers all starting with 01202 recently. Same thing every time, let it go to answerphone and still no message. Pretty sure they’re just trying to get you to pick up.Scam Alert5 yearsGot a call from an automated voice, so there's no real person at the other end if you answer. Pretty sure they've cloned the number because the 1471 service isn’t trustworthy for this. Best not to share any details with them.5 yearsThis number keeps bombarding me with spam calls all the time. Can't seem to get any peace from it.Submit Your Own Report (01202 159288)
