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.

"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.

Was told it was an energy firm calling, but the moment I asked how they got my phone number, they just ended the call.

At 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.

I’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!

Some 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.

I’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.

Some 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?

I 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!

I 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!

I 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!

This 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.

I 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.

There'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.

I'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.

I'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.

Had 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.

I'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!

Much 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.

Seems 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!

It’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.

I'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!

I'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!
