Reports on phone number 01202159481
5 yearsI’ve got a nagging feeling that this might be a con artist preying on older folks. Over the last few weeks, this number has been incessantly pestering me-ringing at ungodly hours and throughout the day. I finally caved and picked up the phone. The chap on the other end started yammering on about boosting my home’s economic performance concerning energy. He fired off a load of questions, all of which I didn’t mind answering at the time. However, as soon as I mentioned my age group, he abruptly cut the line! (He seemed intent on confirming I was over 50). 1) It wouldn’t have been too tricky for him to just say, “Sorry, you’re not in the demographic we’re looking for”. 2) I’m convinced he hung up because he was just randomly dialling, hoping to ensnare someone unsuspecting. So, he’s either incredibly rude (what a waste of my time chatting with him) or just another scammer on the hunt. I wouldn’t bother picking up the phone at all.5 yearsI reckon it’s probably a dodgy scam or some kind of fraud attempt. These annoying folks kept ringing me about 5 or 6 times over the past few days from numbers like 01202 159481, 159483, 159486, and 159487. Every time I picked up, they didn’t say a word or leave any message. Proper persistent and no good.5 yearsThey mentioned that our loft insulation was below standard according to some records they had. Kept insisting that we should accept a complimentary survey since we fall into their target demographic. I was baffled by their confusion when we declined the offer!Kept5 years01202159481 keeps ringing my phone non stop. An automated robot or whatever it is, making me jump every hour and 45 minutes or so. Seriously, someone needs to put a stop to this, its been 7 calls already today! Really annoying!5 yearsThey’re saying I need to upgrade my loft insulation and that I can get a grant for it. Asked for my bank details though, so I’m pretty sure it’s a scam.5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up, like four times every day. I don’t pick up, just let it ring over to voicemail, but they never leave anything. It’s really irritating and should be blocked or something.5 yearsJust got a call from some lot calling themselves “energy experts” saying they’re “working in your area”. Total scam, don’t answer!5 yearsThis number has called me the last two days running. I just let it ring out to voicemail but they didn't leave any message.5 yearsReceived a rather unwelcome unsolicited call today from someone peddling loft insulation. I didn’t let him ramble on; I informed him straight away that he was being rather daft and promptly reported the number to the Telephone Preference Service.Preference5 yearsAs soon as I said the name of the company, they just hung up. Feels like one of those auto systems that listen for a "hello" and then cut off if they hear something else.5 yearsCame back this afternoon to see another missed call from a Bournemouth 01202 number starting with 159. Even though we're on the TPS, we still get loads of these annoying calls, probably from people trying to sell energy deals or insulation stuff. If this is a firm at all, the regulators really ought to shut them down!BournemouthTPS5 yearsI've had the same energy advisor, Chris, ring me four times within just a week! I've had enough and reported him (once more) to the ICO for these persistent sales calls, especially since I'm registered with the TPS. It’s getting rather tiresome!ChrisICOTPS5 yearsI've been getting calls over and over from someone claiming to be a 'local heating advisor', even though my number is on the telephone preference service. I've told them a few times that their offer doesn't apply to my house, but they just keep ringing anyway. It's really annoying.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsMy lad answered the call but realised it was silent, so he swiftly hung up, recognising it as a scam!5 yearsSo, I had this pesky little blighter called Chris ring me up, claiming to be from the local energy company. Honestly, he’s clearly not legitimate-just another dodgy trickster. He’s interrupted my day six times now, only to hang up without a word. Honestly, steer clear of these charlatans; they’re nothing but a bunch of scammers!Chris5 yearsHonestly, it's mad how annoying 01202159481 is and yet nothing gets done about it! Ofcom should really be held accountable for letting this go on!Ofcom5 yearsI’m with the earlier comments on this. Calls coming from various 01202 numbers all seem connected to some kind of “local energy advisor” scam, even though we live nowhere near Bournemouth! Plus, if you pick up and don’t say a word, nothing really happens. It’s just an automated message waiting for you to speak before it kicks in.Bournemouth5 yearsReceived an absolutely dodgy phone call from so-called "energy efficiency advisers" today.5 yearsI picked up the phone and the person on the other end just hung up without saying anything. Very strange!5 yearsI think these scammers just call random numbers to check if someone actually answers.5 yearsHad another call today from some bloke called Chris about loft insulation, says my postcode came up on their list. This makes three calls now, and yesterday he rang from a different number. When I asked which address he meant, he just cut me off! Seriously annoying considering I’m ex-directory and have BT call protect switched on. This lot are proper pests.Chris5 yearsI picked up and then just ended the call straight away.5 yearsSounds like a con artist trying to check the line.5 yearsThey called me about home insulation, but it just felt like a total con. They clearly have no clue who they’re ringing, just going through some random list of phone numbers. I’d say just ignore these calls and definitely report them to Ofcom to be safe.Ofcom5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from an 'energy efficiency consultants' grant, sounded fishy right away. Turns out it was just a scam trying to get money or info. Watch out for these, they’re not legit!5 yearsI've had calls from a Bournemouth area code too, with no voicemail left. Over the past couple of months, it’s buzzed my phone around eight times. They switch up the last few digits but the prefix always stays 01202 159...Bournemouth5 yearsTotally with you on this one!!5 yearsMy kid answered the phone but no one was there so he just hung up. Total scam!5 yearsI ignored the call.5 yearsI picked up and immediately ended the call... wasn’t the first occasion either... I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.5 yearsGot a call from a 01202159... number on my landline, but they didn't leave any voicemail. Lately, I've been getting loads of calls from similar numbers, probably all from the same firm. I really wish there was a way to block these annoying calls on my phone.5 yearsGot a call supposedly about loft insulation. They completely ignored that my number's on the do-not-call list. After rattling off the same script a few times and having to redo it when I challenged them, they finally hung up. Also, the caller said they were calling from London, but the call actually came from somewhere else. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.LondonSubmit Your Own Report (01202 159481)
