01202159318 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01202159318 👆 is reported as a persistent scam linked to a supposed energy advisor named "Chris" claiming to offer loft insulation surveys or replacements due to alleged issues like damp or mould. Callers often use similar Bournemouth area codes with slight variations to bypass call blocking. The approach is unsolicited, with some calls involving silence or hanging up when questioned. Genuine energy companies do not conduct such unsolicited surveys. Many users advise ignoring, blocking, and reporting these calls to authorities via Action Fraud. Callers fail to provide verifiable details, and attempts to engage with them often end abruptly. The consensus strongly suggests this is a well-known scam targeting homeowners, with a high volume of complaints but few official police reports. Vigilance and use of call-blocking tools are recommended.

5 years"Energy Consultant" - yet another bunch of con artists! Just ignore and block their number. This is a classic scam that’s been doing the rounds for ages.Energy Consultant5 yearsWas told it was an energy firm calling, but the moment I asked how they got my phone number, they just ended the call.5 yearsAt first there was nothing but silence, then he claimed to be an energy advisor for the area and mentioned he knew I owned the house. I told him I didn’t, then there was a pause and I repeated no. After that, he just ended the call. Seems pretty dodgy to me.5 yearsHow many more blocked numbers are they gonna be spamming us with? Got another one blocked today!5 yearsI’ve received numerous calls from Chris regarding roof insulation, despite having informed him multiple times that we reside in a caravan. It’s quite baffling how persistent he’s been!Chris5 yearsJust got a call from some bloke who said he was Chris, claiming he worked for the local energy saving team in Port Talbot. Didn't sound quite right to me.ChrisPort Talbot5 yearsSome bloke called me up claiming there’s a register saying my old yellow rockwool loft insulation needs replacing coz it might cause damp and mould. He mentioned I was last in line for a survey or something. Told him my loft’s fine, no signs of damp or condensation, I’d just checked it not long ago. Then he just hung up on me. Honestly, what’s it got to do with him or anyone else what insulation I have up there? Ridiculous.5 yearsDidn't pick up, no voicemail left either. Unknown number.5 yearsSome random number called me, I picked up but as soon as I said hello, they just hung up right away.5 yearsI’ve already flagged this number on here previously. Usually I don’t answer calls if the number isn’t familiar, and these people never bother to leave a voicemail. Seeing all the bad reviews about it, I just block every one that comes through. Trouble is, they keep ringing back with slightly different endings on the number like 01202 159 318, 01202 159 317, or 01202 159 330. Each one I’ve blocked straight away, but they just keep switching the last digits and trying again. It’s quite annoying really.5 yearsSome bloke called me up saying that my old loft insulation, some yellow rockwool stuff, apparently needs to be changed out because it might cause damp and mould. He said my house was the last one on some survey list or something. I told him there’s no sign of any damp up in my loft, I’d just been up there not long ago and everything seemed fine. Next thing, he just hangs up on me. Seriously, why does anyone care about my loft insulation except me?5 yearsNo one spoke when I answered, just silence on the other end.5 yearsNo sound at all when they called!5 yearsI use a call blocker that makes people say who they are before I even pick up. This number never did that, so I just ignored it. Sounds like a scam to me… real people always say their name first!5 yearsI have this call blocking setup where anyone who rings me has to say who they are first...only then do I let them come through. This number didn't bother doing that, so I didn't let the call go through. Seems dodgy to me. Real callers always say their name, no exceptions!5 yearsI got a call from someone asking if I still had a driveway at my place. They started talking about creating some kind of brochure, but I stopped them and asked how they managed to get my number since I’m on the TPS list. They just hung up on me right after that!Telephone Preference Service5 yearsLast week I got a few calls from Bournemouth numbers with the same area code but different last few numbers. None of them left any voice messages.Bournemouth5 yearsGot a call on my home phone but it went straight to the answering machine and they just hung up without saying anything. Sounds like spam to me. I’ve blocked the number now. This is the second time I’ve had a call from a Bournemouth area code lately.Bournemouth5 yearssomeone called me saying he was chris, an energy advisor around here. i’ve gotten calls from this guy before and now i know his voice. i just hung up straight away.Chris5 yearsThis bloke rang me up saying that my old loft insulation, you know the usual yellow rockwool stuff, supposedly needed changing ‘cause it could cause damp and mould. He claimed I was the last on some kind of survey list. I told him I’d just been up in the loft and everything looked fine, no damp or condensation at all. Then, he just hung up on me! Honestly, what’s it got to do with him or anyone else if my loft insulation is alright or not? Proper weird.5 yearsGot a call from the same number two times; I picked up each time, but they just ended the call right away.5 yearsSomeone called me saying they were with The Energy Centre from Dorset, talking about roof panels. It felt really dodgy and I didn’t ask for any of it. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.The Energy CentreDorset5 yearsI didn’t pick up as the number looked strange and I didn’t recognise it.5 yearsI picked up the phone and there was complete silence on the other end. Today alone I've received three calls, all from different numbers but with the same area code, and they're all about energy consultants supposedly near me. Thing is, the area they're talking about is like 200 miles away. Not sure if this one was just another one of those.5 yearsThere's this chap named Chris who keeps ringing us up. This is his second attempt, yet we previously blocked his first number, so it seems he's switched to a different line. He claims to be representing an energy company, insisting our residence could really use some loft insulation. The first time he reached out, I mentioned that we’re on the Telephone Preference Service list, which normally fends off such calls. So to have him ring again from another number, spouting the same old message, is rather troubling, to say the least.Chris5 yearsI picked up the call, but there was complete silence on the other end before they just disconnected! I've gone ahead and blocked the number now!5 yearsI attempted to reach out using the number 01202159314 earlier, and shortly after tried again with 01202159318, but sadly, I received no response to any of my calls.5 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to represent an energy efficiency company, supposedly based 'nearby'-but I’m sitting here in Suffolk, not Bournemouth! What a cheek!SuffolkBournemouth5 yearsI've just had a rather odd encounter with a bloke named Chris, who rang up claiming to represent an energy company. He insisted that we were the only ones left without updated loft insulation. He went on about how the old yellow material could lead to issues and that we ought to have it checked. When I politely declined and assured him we were all sorted, he bizarrely asked me, "How old are you?" This sudden shift in conversation took me aback, and when I asked him to repeat himself, he fired the question at me again. At that point, I thought it best to wrap things up, and surprisingly, he just hung up! It all seemed rather suspicious, definitely giving off a spam or scam vibe.Chris5 yearsI've had the misfortune of receiving four calls from a collection of numbers that, while not identical, bear a striking resemblance to each other. If a number doesn’t ring any bells for me, I let it go straight to voicemail. Surprisingly, not a single message has been left. I prefer to steer clear of engaging with anyone I don’t already know. I always carry out my own research and trust that the individuals I ultimately connect with come highly recommended.5 yearsHad a call just now from a chap named Chris trying to sell something or other. It’s after 5 o’clock, so it’s obvious he’s not representing a reputable business with any proper decorum.Chris5 yearsI received a call from a chap named Chris who said he was an energy advisor and inquired whether I was the property owner. When I probed him about my name, he abruptly terminated the call.Chris5 yearsI've just had my second phone call from someone named Chris, claiming to be from an energy company. He informed me that my home and postcode have been marked as needing fresh loft insulation. I explained that my residence is part of a privately managed complex, overseen by a housing company, and that they handle all maintenance, both internal and external. After hearing this, he hung up quite promptly. I've already added one of these numbers to my blacklist via BT Call Protect, so it seems they've decided to use a different number this time around!ChrisBT5 yearsWhen I answered the call, there was complete silence on the other end-definitely a blocked number.5 yearsOh, it’s Chris once more - went on about his energy pitch and that’s as far as he managed to get. Unfortunately for him, he received quite the earful before I bade him farewell! 😄Chris5 yearsMuch like many others, this marks the fourth or fifth call we've received from numbers based in Bournemouth. We've never picked up, and they've all been duly added to our blacklist via BT.BournemouthBT5 yearsSeems they're employing a clever tactic with those sequential digits to dodge being flagged. The repeated nonsense they're peddling has been flagged before. An energy specialist, you say? I find that rather hard to believe!5 yearsIt’s Chris once more, making the same dubious assertions that others have mentioned. I had previously placed a block on his earlier number too. It’s evident this chap is just another scam artist.Chris5 yearsI've found myself in a similar situation to what others have reported. This marks the third instance where my phone has been interrupted by these pesky calls. The initial six digits remain constant, yet they always culminate in either 045, 303, or 318. The chap on the other end had no luck getting anywhere with me, so he decided to cut the conversation short. I'm resolute in my decision to block each and every one of these calls - it’s utterly maddening to have my tranquillity disrupted like this!5 yearsI've had repeated calls from a chap named 'Chris' who claims to be with an energy firm. It’s quite amusing, really-he rings me several times a week, but always from a variety of phone numbers. It seems like it's all just a cheeky automated system bombarding me with questions, attempting to extract my personal information. The best bit? If I throw some curveballs or provide silly answers, it can’t handle the pressure and cuts off! Quite the frustrating nuisance, to say the least!Chris5 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the line went silent.5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me every few days, and it seems they never take a hint! It's quite annoying, really.Submit Your Own Report (01202 159318)
