A rather overly enthusiastic chap rang me up claiming he'd previously spoken to my wife regarding loft insulation, which is utterly untrue.

I got a call from someone called Chris who said he worked for an insulation firm. He told me my loft insulation was outdated. But as soon as I told him I didn’t want cold calls, he just hung up on me.

I let it ring through to the answering machine, but all I heard was a loud screech before the call just disconnected.

Actually, it was some bloke called “chris” who gave me a ring this morning. He said he was an energy advisor from nearby and claimed my house had old loft insulation - like that classic yellow fluffy stuff. I told him, “that’s odd, chris, I actually redid my loft insulation myself during lockdown, took out the old stuff and put in new boards too.” Cheers for calling though. Even after I hung up, he kept on talking away - might still be going for all I know!

over the past few days i've got about 7 calls from different numbers that look pretty similar. they sounded like robocalls and all ended up hanging up right when my voicemail picked up. usually i just don’t pick up if i don’t know the number anyway. my voicemail is set up to ask anyone who really wants to reach me to send me a text instead.

this company rang me up saying they need to check my loft because apparently im on a list for having 'old style insulation' or something. how do they even know whats up there? they've called me a couple times already and i told them to stop but they just keep ringing.

There’s this random number that keeps ringing but they never leave a message on the answerphone. It’s really frustrating since I’m expecting an important call from the hospital. I’m gonna try and block it soon.

Regarding the loft insulation, I said that mine is definitely done properly and fully insulated, thanks. They’ve called me in the past, so I recognised the voice as soon as they started chatting.

So I got a call from some company saying my house popped up on some list for having old loft insulation, you know, that yellow fluffy kind. This is actually the second time they've called me about it. First time, I told them I don't even have a loft, and they just hung up right away without saying anything. Today, I repeated the same and told them to stop calling me ever again.

I've received a fair few calls from various numbers, and they all seem to be linked to the Government's Insulation initiatives in Bournemouth.

I received four calls from this chap claiming to be the local energy consultant. He inquires whether you're the property owner, but I simply hung up on him. Best to just disregard his calls entirely and refrain from answering your phone if he rings again.

I've had a fair few calls lately from someone claiming to be my local energy provider. The number originates from Bournemouth, yet I reside in Kent! I've ended the calls each time and have now blocked this number altogether.

I've been inundated with calls since the 18th of August-at least one every couple of days. Typically, I just lift the receiver and let it drop back down. However, today I decided to engage. The chap introduced himself as Chris, a so-called local energy adviser. Quite the joke, really, considering I'm situated in Essex while these persistent calls originate from Bournemouth. They all begin with 01202 but have a different ending each time. I've lodged complaints about eight separate numbers thus far. I made it perfectly clear to him today that I don't want any further contact from them.

He goes by the name of Chris. Speaks with a rather posh accent. Keeps on chatting about insulation. Rang me multiple times!

This bloke claims to be Chris, some sort of local energy consultant. I've requested multiple times for him to cease calling me, yet it’s the same individual ringing over and over. He keeps going on about how there could be an issue with my loft insulation and offers a complimentary inspection, or an MoT as he puts it. I pointed out that he wasn't the one who fitted it to begin with, and then he abruptly cut the call. Quite the nerve, really!

This number keeps ringing me around three times daily. I've answered a couple of times, yet there's never a soul on the other end, nor do they leave any messages when I’m unavailable. It seems to be originating from the Bournemouth region and I must say, it’s rather bothersome.

Claimed he was conducting a survey on the insulation in our loft.

"Received a call from a so-called energy supplier claiming they operate in my postcode. Honestly, they're about 200 miles off! The caller insisted I needed new insulation, presuming I've got the old white or yellow stuff in my home-could be wrong on that front. They also were rather nosy, asking if I owned the property, which just seemed like a ploy to send someone round for a survey, all in the name of cashing in on those grants available to everyone. Best to just disregard these chaps and reach out to British Gas instead, whether you're with them or not. They’ll sort you out properly!"

I’m constantly being bombarded with calls from the 01202 area code. It's beyond irritating! Can’t they find something better to do than disturb my day?

I’m really getting tired of these calls from 01202 159 xxx. It’s becoming quite the nuisance!

My elderly father, who's 85, received a call from this number, which he immediately associated with Poole, where a long-standing mate of his resides. Naturally, he was a bit worried and rang me at my workplace, as I've always told him to steer clear of returning calls. Turns out it was just a telemarketing firm. Given that he's registered on the preferred calls list, I can't fathom how such calls are still permitted.

I've received quite a few calls from the Bournemouth region recently, and yet again, it's just another irritating nuisance call. I’ve had enough of it, so I’ll be adding the number to my blocked list.

I've been inundated with calls daily from someone named "Chris," all from different numbers beginning with 01202. I suspect this is a crafty way of evading my block! I’m based in Norfolk, yet these calls are originating from Bournemouth. It appears to be nothing more than relentless cold calling, and it seems the Government is utterly powerless to put a stop to it!

I received a cold call from this number today, and as others have mentioned, a rather articulate fellow named 'Chris' introduced himself as our 'Local Energy Advisor'. His interpretation of 'local' is quite amusing since this number originates from Bournemouth, while I reside in Greater Manchester! As luck would have it, we're presently in the process of switching energy suppliers and were awaiting a call from the sales team, so I initially considered this might be a legitimate call. However, when he began discussing his records indicating that our property has the outdated yellow loft insulation, I paused and innocently asked which property he was referring to, given that we own two. At that moment, he abruptly hung up on me, which leads me to suspect he has a well-rehearsed phishing pitch that is just vague enough to seem credible. In any case, I recommend steering clear of him!

There was loads of static on the line and I couldn’t really hear properly. All I caught was a man talking in the background. Seems like it was probably just another scam call.
