4 yearsI received a phone call from someone claiming to be conducting a survey regarding loft insulation, but honestly, it feels like a dodgy scheme to me.4 yearsIt appears that a chap named Chris, who claims to be an expert in energy matters, rang me up concerning our loft insulation and some government grants. Honestly, I'm beginning to suspect he might not be on the level and could be a fraudster operating under a false identity!Chris5 yearsgot a call at 1:10pm on 1st October 2021, but they didn’t leave any voicemail. decided to block the number now.5 yearsEvery day without fail I get a call from Chris, who’s clearly trying to pull off some loft insulation scam. The number changes a bit each time, but the area code is always the same. Pretty obvious what he’s up to.Chris5 yearsAround 1:30 this afternoon, I got a call from 01202159493. The caller sounded quite casual, so I thought it might be some sort of sales person. He started by asking how I was. I then asked how he’d got my number since it’s meant to be unlisted. He said it came from some previous work done at my place. I told him straight away to take my number off their list. He tried to keep the conversation going, but I cut him off to repeat my request. After wishing me a good day, we ended the call. Seems like a dodgy sales pitch or even a scam, so I’ve flagged it as suspicious.5 yearsGot a call earlier from someone claiming to be with an energy saving firm working locally. Told them I’m not interested in unsolicited calls, and they just dropped the line straight away, no goodbye or anything.5 yearsHad a call about loft insulation but it felt fishy. Seems like “Chris” isn't the only one anymore, now there’s a "Tom" doing the rounds too. Guess they thought people might’ve had enough of Chris by now. Tom just parrots the exact same lines. Give or take fifty times.ChrisTom5 yearsGot calls from this number about five times and each time, no one picks up when I answer. Quite weird!5 yearsCalled me about loft insulation, total waste of time.5 yearsGot a repeat call from some bloke saying he’s the local energy expert. He tried to scare me by saying my current insulation was rubbish because of mould and damp, without showing any proof. It felt like a total trick to make people anxious and sucker in those who might be more vulnerable for whatever product they’re selling. They didn’t even say if they were officially certified or anything. Best not to give them any details - they just use that info to make you feel more dependent on their service.5 yearsGot a call about loft insulation, sounded like one of those dodgy scams, so I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.5 yearsThey've been ringing me every single day this week! Today I missed the call, and he actually dropped a voicemail saying he’ll try again later. Kinda tempted to pick up next time just to mess with him a bit.5 yearsSome bloke from what sounded like a loft insulation firm rang up, claiming my loft had dodgy insulation that needed sorting. When I asked how he knew that, he dodged the question and said his mate would explain everything when he called back. Apparently, my address was on some list pointing out homes that need re-insulating. Then he asked if I owned the place, and I told him that’s none of his concern and he was clearly just another scammer. I told him to jog on and not bother me again.5 yearsI've had this number ring me thrice now, every time I pick up there's just silence on the other end.5 yearsI don’t understand how they managed to get hold of my number, especially since I signed up for the telephone preference service.5 yearsAnswered the call but I ended up just hanging up straight away.5 yearsEnded the call right away.5 yearsI got this automated message that pretended like it was a real person talking to me, but it was clearly a bot. The voice claimed they were ringing regarding some insulation work recently done at our place, saying it might be damaging something... I just hung up straight away. Really puzzling how they managed to call me when my number's on the TPS list?Telephone Preference Service5 yearsGot called by this number like four times already. The first time, some bloke kept going on about insulation, and the next three times they just hung up as soon as I picked up. Proper annoying...5 yearsWas quite impressed actually, sounded like a real person on the call. They shared info that might really worry some folks. Seems like a sneaky marketing trick meant to scare people and it honestly should be banned. I guess it’s about stuff like energy saving or green power, probably trying to milk govt incentives but doing it dishonestly.5 yearsI just ignored it, not interested at all. Honestly, I’m fed up with these scam callers and telemarketers buzzing my phone constantly. They really ought to crack down on this instead of letting people suffer from bad stuff like poisoning. The government should focus on that, for sure.5 yearsI've gotten a few calls from this number and similar ones too.5 yearsGot calls from some bloke named Chris, but it was just a recorded message about energy, trying to sound like a proper chat. He’s a pain and doesn’t care about the TPS at all. Stay clear of whatever dodgy scheme he’s running.ChrisSteerSubmit Your Own Report (01202 159493)
