Phone number ☎️ 01202159316 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers claiming to be local government or energy advisors, often using varied numbers with a Bournemouth area code.

The approach includes scripted, polite calls that become evasive or end abruptly when questioned, and sometimes silent or hang-up calls. Users report no genuine identification or company verification, suspicion of data misuse, and harassment despite being on the Telephone Preference Service. It is advised not to answer or engage, as doing so tends to increase call frequency. Blocking and ignoring these numbers is the preferred course of action to avoid unwanted solicitations.

5 yearsI got a call from 01202 159316, some bloke claiming to be from the government talking about energy advice and asked if my loft had insulation. I told him I don’t even have a loft, and then hung up. Then on Thursday 18th November, 01202 143277 rang me but I just let it go to voicemail, it buzzed for ages though. Same thing happened on Tuesday 23rd November with 01202 143295, I ignored it and it kept ringing forever. They seem to be using loads of different numbers, all starting with 01202 which I reckon is a Poole code. Best not to pick up or they’ll just keep calling back non-stop.Poole5 yearsGot a call on my landline from a guy named Chris saying he was an energy advisor for my area, but I don’t remember giving my number to any companies. Felt odd, so I just ended the call. The number was 01202 143160.Chris5 yearsGot loads of calls from numbers all starting with 01202, Bournemouth I think, but the last few digits keep changing. Seems like some sort of energy efficiency con. Best to just ignore any call from that area code.Bournemouth5 yearsThat number has been ringing me every day for more than a month now. I just let it go to voicemail, but there’s never a single message left.5 yearsThis bloke calling himself "Chris" keeps ringing me about loft insulation, claiming he's some energy adviser from around here. He's called loads of times and sounds really friendly. He keeps assuming I own the house, but when I asked him how he knew that or who gave him that info, he just hung up on me. The last time he got through, he seemed more determined to carry on, even after I asked why he’d cut off the call before when I just wanted an answer to a simple question. I ended up losing my patience and had a proper rant, but he kept going all polite and stuck to his spiel like nothing was happening, which was actually quite strange since I wasn’t interested at all. Not sure how I’ll deal with the next call yet - thinking maybe I’ll either get even more annoyed or stay calm and mess around with him a bit instead.Chris5 yearsGot loads of calls on my landline from a bloke called Chris who claims he's the energy advisor for my area. The numbers keep changing a bit, but it’s always the same story. Pretty annoying!Chris5 yearsThey’ve rung me up 3 different times just today, and in total 4 times. Every time there's nothing but silence on the other end before they just disconnect.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with my local energy company. I just hung up straight away. They’ve called me a couple of times before as well.Chris5 yearsInstead of arguing, just raise your voice louder than him and say that harassing people is against the law - that always makes him hang up.5 yearsThis morning just after 10am my phone rang and before even checking who it was I already guessed it’d be “your local energy advisor for your area” - and yep, that’s exactly what it was. This time I let the guy explain what he wanted but it was all about loft insulation, saying old insulation might cause condensation in some homes, which is total rubbish. Then I asked him, if he’s truly my local energy advisor, “So where exactly do I live?” He went quiet for a moment then quickly said, “Alright, have a good day, bye!” Clearly, he had no clue where I lived, just fishing for info. It’s a total SCAM, and I’ve noticed all these calls seem to come from Bournemouth.Bournemouth5 yearsJust got a call from an unknown Plymouth landline, decided to hang up straight away as the number seemed unfamiliar.Plymouth5 yearsPretty clear he was just reading a script - started with “Hi, I’m Chris, how’re you doing? I’m reaching out because your address came up on a government register about outdated loft insulation and stuff like that.” When I asked which company he was with, he said Green Eco Systems from London. The moment I questioned him a bit more, he hung up straight away. This isn’t the first time he’s called me either, and he tends to get quite rude if you push back.ChrisGreen Eco SystemsLondon5 yearsThey said they were from a local energy company. We’re based in East Anglia, but as far as I know, Bournemouth isn’t exactly nearby. Strange call really.East AngliaBournemouth5 yearsHad a dodgy call pretending to be from the local energy company trying to get my details. Felt like a total scam, so I didn’t fall for it. Watch out, people!5 yearsGot a call from a number I don’t recognise, but I didn’t pick up and there wasn’t any message left on my voicemail either. Since they rang a number that’s not public, I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of scam or annoying sales call trying to trick me.5 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying ‘Hi, this is Chris from your local energy company, hope you’re doing alright today’. I just hung up straight away. Seemed a bit dodgy, never said which local company exactly. Plus, I’m registered with the TPS - so how come they’re still ringing me? Proper annoying these calls are.ChrisTelephone Preference Service5 yearsgot a call on 01202159316 back on 20th sept 2021, but the person on the other end was just silent, except for this weird heavy breathing noise. i mean, is this kind of creepy call really still a thing nowadays??? feels like something out of the past!5 yearsGot a call this morning at about 09:29 on the 20th of September from someone claiming to be a 'local energy advisor'. They immediately launched into a chat about grants for insulation.5 yearsGot a call claiming to be about loft insulation work, but something felt off. Definitely sounded like a scam to me. Be careful if you get a similar call!5 yearsGot a call from this number but when I picked up there was no one there.5 yearsGot another one of those scam calls today, trying to pull the usual story about a loft insulation plan. They always switch their phone number every few weeks. I've blocked about five different numbers from these lot already, just added this latest one to the list.5 yearsGot a call but no one spoke on the other end. Strange and a bit annoying.5 yearsI called but nobody answered.5 yearsGot a ring yesterday about insulating my loft.5 yearsHad yet another ring about loft insulation today, honestly starting to get a bit much now.5 yearsGot a call about some fake loft insulation offer, sounded like a total scam to me. Be careful out there!5 yearsGot a call from this oddly upbeat bloke claiming my loft insulation was some old-fashioned kind. He spoke like I was about to be accused of some terrible offence and locked away for good! Honestly, to Chris I’d say - maybe find something better to do with your time or pick up a real job.Tower of LondonChris5 yearsGot a call from some energy sales lot, and as soon as I said no, they just ended the call.5 yearsKeeps ringing me up daily with different Bournemouth numbers, always claiming they’re working for the government about energy stuff.BournemouthGovernment5 yearsHe kept saying I was on some government site about old loft insulation when I asked where he got my number from. I told him he still hadn’t answered me properly and just asked again how he got my phone digits. Then, out of nowhere, he said it was nice chatting and just ended the call. Very strange!5 yearsBeware of calls from someone calling themselves your local energy advisor - mine said, "Hi, I’m Chris, your energy consultant." Don’t fall for it, it’s a common trick used to scam people out of money. This energy scam has been going around for ages.ChrisSubmit Your Own Report (01202 159316)
