Reports on phone number 01202159288
4 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 has been ringing me claiming to be from my local energy provider-bit odd since I’m down in Devon! When I pressed him about how he obtained my number, he just cut the call. My number’s registered on the Do Not Call list, yet he’s managed to phone me five times in the span of two days, each time with a slightly different extension. The latest numbers he’s used include: 01210 - 159 530 with extensions 517, 522, 515, and 523. During today’s call, I greeted him with, “Oh, Chris! I notice you've tried reaching me five times in just two days!” Predictably, he hung up once more. Unless you’ve got a friend or family member in the 01202 area code and your landline buzzes, I’d recommend treating these calls as spam-best to ignore them!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 yearsI received a call from a chap claiming to be Chris, contacting me from the Green Ecco Centre based in London. He mentioned that Jones in my vicinity had been looked into regarding the newest lift insulation, and apparently, my property was among the few left without a contract. He inquired about my age range. However, when I pressed him for more details about his identity and a number where I could reach him, he rather abruptly wished me a pleasant afternoon and disconnected. Honestly, I suspect it could be a scam, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.ChrisGreen Ecco CentreLondonJones5 yearsI received a phone call from a chap claiming to be called Chris, who mentioned he was representing the energy agency. He informed me that our house had been flagged for an upgrade to the insulation in the loft. I requested a moment to peruse the internet, intending to double-check the company's name. Oddly enough, he abruptly hung up on me.Chris5 yearsChris, the local energy consultant, what a load of rubbish!Chris5 yearsI received a call from someone named Chris, claiming to be a local energy consultant. I mentioned I was a bit busy and before I knew it, he just hung up on me! Quite impolite, if you ask me. Seems a bit dodgy if you catch my drift! Just to clarify, he's based in Bournemouth, while I'm up here in Leicestershire - hardly what I’d consider local!ChrisBournemouthLeicestershire5 years"Hi, it's John calling from Driveway. Just checking in to see if you've still got a driveway at your place? Is that right? Totally an unsolicited call by the way. I informed John he'd dialled the wrong number. Cheers, John. End of conversation."JohnDriveway5 yearsI've been receiving calls from various numbers, all starting with 01202, and I suspect it’s the same scammer trying their luck. Such a nuisance!5 yearsSeems like an energy adviser, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they're up to no good. Keep your wits about you!5 yearsDisconnected mid-conversation.5 yearsThey keep ringing me, often twice daily, claiming to be local energy advisors. But honestly, I wouldn’t consider Birmingham to be local to Basingstoke! I’ve taken to hanging up on them the moment they start talking.BirminghamBasingstoke5 yearsReceived a call regarding energy services, but I promptly hung up since I'm signed up with the Telephone Preference Service. It's rather frustrating to receive these unsolicited calls!Telephone Preference Service5 yearsI received a call from an energy advisor named Chris, claiming to be based locally. However, unless Bournemouth has mysteriously relocated to Cambridgeshire, that’s quite the stretch. It’s either spam or a bit of telemarketing nonsense, and at worst, it has all the hallmarks of a scam.ChrisBournemouthCambridgeshire5 yearsI've just received my second unwanted call of the day from this series of numbers! The last one came through around half two this afternoon, from 01202 159 287. I did a quick search while it was ringing and discovered it was a spammer, so I decided not to pick up. The same applies to this new call. Yet another number will be added to the block list on my landline, which is already registered with the TPS.TPS5 yearsIt’s the same chap named Chris who’s popped up in earlier feedback. Claimed that the old-school fibreglass loft insulation might lead to damp issues in the attic. He mentioned a complimentary assessment, but the moment I pointed out that it’s actually the spray foam in the rafters that creates the damp and that mortgage lenders are hesitant to approve loans for homes with it, he abruptly ended the call.Chris5 yearsI received a call regarding a deal on solar panels. I mentioned that my house is about to be listed for sale, and then the line abruptly dropped.5 yearsI've received several calls from this area code, and I’m absolutely fed up with it! A chap was going on about how my loft insulation required an upgrade. I couldn’t quite believe his nerve, so I asked him what bit of “No; absolutely not; never” he was struggling to grasp. I decided it was best to just hang up on him!5 yearsSuspected Scam Alert: I've had two calls from this number in less than half an hour. I've chosen not to pick up, letting them hit my voicemail instead, but they seem to have a knack for avoiding leaving any messages. It’s rather peculiar, as I suspect this caller might be cycling through various numbers with the same 01202 area code. Over the past few months, I've received numerous such calls; again, they always bypass the voicemail without a peep.Scam Alert5 yearsReceived a rather dodgy automated call, and answering it means one’s chatting to nothing but a robot. There’s a fair chance their number’s been spoofed, rendering 1471 pointless for identifying the caller. Best to steer clear and refrain from disclosing any personal details when faced with such calls.5 yearsI keep receiving an incessant stream of dodgy phone calls from this particular area code.Submit Your Own Report (01202 159288)
