01202159298 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01202159298 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam typically involving a caller identifying as "Chris," "Tom," or "Matt," claiming to be local energy advisors offering loft insulation reviews. Despite being told recipients are on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) register and not interested, the caller continues to use multiple numbers, often from Bournemouth, switching frequently to avoid blocking. The caller uses scripted pitches, sometimes becoming evasive or hanging up when questioned, and occasionally gives false company names. Many report no voicemail left and some suspect the calls aim to glean personal information or verify active phone numbers. While polite in tone, the calls are largely unwelcome, unverified, and potentially fraudulent, and blocking or ignoring such calls is strongly advised.

5 yearsGot a call again from ‘Chris’ at this number, second time this week! Told him last time I wasn’t interested but he kept going on about loft insulation. Felt like he was just reading from a script. When I threw some tough questions his way and caught him out fibbing, he just ended the call straight away!Chris5 yearsGot a bloke called Chris ringing me up, says he's an energy advisor and that I’m picked for an insulation check. Told him straight away I’m on the TPS and asked him not to call again, and he just hung up on me. He’s been calling from various numbers all starting with 01202, probably Bournemouth. Some of the numbers I’ve seen from him are 01202 794776, 01202 189277, 01202 189284, and just now 01202 159298. Would recommend being wary if you get calls from these.ChrisTelephone Preference ServiceTPSBournemouth5 yearsYet again, it's Chris on the line, this time from a fresh number, claiming that I’ve been chosen for an insulation assessment. When I challenged him about why he persists in ringing a phone that's registered with the Telephone Preference Service from various digits, he promptly hung up. Strangely, all the numbers he’s been using seem to originate from Bournemouth. The numbers in question are 01202 794776, 01202 159277, 01202 159284 and 01202 159298. Exercise extreme caution with these numbers as they appear to be part of a scam.ChrisTelephone Preference ServiceBournemouth5 yearsSo Chris is back, but now he's using different numbers. I told him to stop calling my phone, which is on the TPS, and he just hung up straight away. He seems to go by Chris, Tom, or Mat and the numbers he’s calling from all seem to be Bournemouth landlines: 01202 794776, 01202 159277, 01202 159284, and 01202 159298. Really annoying!ChrisTomMatBournemouth5 yearsMy wife has been getting loads of calls lately from this bloke claiming to be Chris, some sort of local energy advisor, always ringing from 01202 159298. I decided to pick up the latest one, and as soon as he introduced himself, I asked how many times he’d called us. After a brief silence, he said something like “over 50 times.” I then asked him why he kept ringing, and the line just went dead. Quite odd, really.Chris5 yearsgot a call but no one left any message on the voicemail.5 yearsSome bloke called me on my landline, said my place was picked for some kind of energy check. When I asked him where my property actually was, he just went quiet and ended the call. What’s odd is he rang me on an ex-directory number!Chris5 yearsGot a few calls from some so-called local company pushing insulation. I’ve just blocked their number now, so done with it.5 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!5 yearsThey didn’t leave any voicemail or anything.5 yearssomeone called saying they were my “local energy advisor,” but they’re nowhere near my area. i never take deals over the phone, so probably just a spam call like usual.5 yearsSo, got a call from someone named “Chris” chatting about loft insulation and how supposedly all my neighbours had a survey done. Seemed dodgy right from the start. He kept asking how old I was, and when I asked what company he was with, he said “Green Eco Centre, SW London”. Then he asked my age again. I told him I don’t share that info with random callers, and he said my age was really important. When I asked for a direct phone number to call back, he just ended the call! Total scam, avoid it.ChrisGreen Eco CentreSouth London5 yearsI got a call from 01202 159298 on my home phone, but they didn't say anything or leave a message.5 yearsI didn’t answer the first time they called, so I rang 1471 to see who it was. Since the number looked unfamiliar, I checked it out on this site. After reading what other people said about it, I decided this is a dodgy number. Thanks for having this site - it’s really useful. To anyone else who gets calls from this number, just don’t bother picking up. I’m definitely blocking it!5 yearsGot a call today even though my number’s on the TPS list. Reading through earlier comments, I’m guessing it’s those insulation scammers again, they seem to ring a lot lately.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsSome number from Bournemouth, you know, starting with 01202 but the rest changes, keeps ringing me every day. They’re asking about loft insulation or something. Honestly, sounds like they might be quite lonely and just want a chat cos no mates. I’m thinking of telling them about the Samaritans so they can get some proper support.Bournemouth5 yearsThis bloke keeps ringing saying he’s Chris and that he's the insulation advisor for my area.Chris5 yearsSo this bloke today, calling himself Chris - although he’s gone by Tom and Matt before - claims he’s an energy advisor from the area. He started on about my loft insulation like he already knows about my home, which is rubbish. I ended the call pretty quickly because on previous calls he just keeps banging on with the same spiel no matter what I say. Plus, I’ve had other people telling me my number was involved in a spam call, so I’m thinking maybe he’s just trying to keep me chatting so he can grab my details and possibly use my number for something dodgy.ChrisTomMatt5 yearsGot a call from 01202159298 but no message was left. When I tried calling them back, an automated voice said the number couldn’t be reached. So, I just blocked it.5 yearsSomebody called saying they’re a government advisor for insulating lofts and said they cover my area. I asked them three times where they got my phone number from, but they just ignored me and kept going with their script. Eventually, I just hung up.5 yearsThis is Chris again, ringing about energy stuff. I made it clear I only deal with firms I’ve picked myself, not ones that just ring without warning. He gave me another ring shortly after, but I just ignored it that time. Gotta say, his English was proper and he was quite polite, so credit where it's due.Chris5 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Chris saying he was an energy advisor and that my loft insulation needed replacing. I told him I don’t even have a loft or that kind of foam insulation because I run a garage, no ceilings here, just an MOT station. Then Chris just hung up on me! Proper cheeky, haha!ChrisMOT5 yearsEvery day they ring me from a new number, but it's always Chris leaving some kind of recording. I really want to find out who's behind these calls, and honestly, it should be reported to Ofcom.Chris5 yearsThis bloke keeps ringing me up, claiming he's some sort of engineer working nearby.5 yearsI dunno if it was being recorded or anything, but he kept going on about my loft insulation being dangerous because of fire and said I should really get it changed.5 yearsSome bloke called himself Robert Jenrick, said he worked for the government as a housing expert. Claimed he could help sort out the cladding on my place! Bit cheeky, innit!Robert JenrickBlimey5 yearsKept ringing non stop, so I went ahead and blocked the number.Submit Your Own Report (01202 159298)
