I 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.

It 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!

Every 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.

Around 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.

Got 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.

Had 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.

Got calls from this number about five times and each time, no one picks up when I answer. Quite weird!

Called me about loft insulation, total waste of time.

Got 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.

Got a call about loft insulation, sounded like one of those dodgy scams, so I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.

They'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.

Some 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.

I've received three calls from this number, and when I picked up, the line went silent. Quite peculiar, if you ask me.

I'm quite puzzled as to how they obtained my phone number, considering I've signed up for the Telephone Preference Service. How can this be happening?

I received a rather curious call earlier today. It was one of those pre-recorded messages that really gives off the impression of engaging with a real person, though frankly, it was anything but that. The chap claimed to be inquiring about the insulation work we had done recently and alleged that it might be leading to some form of damage. I decided to cut the conversation short at that juncture. What baffles me is how this number managed to ring through, especially since ours is firmly listed with the Telephone Preference Service!

I've received roughly four calls from this number so far. The initial one was a tedious spiel about insulation, and the subsequent three just hung up when I picked up. What a right nuisance!

What an unexpected find - that bot recording was quite impressive! It sounded remarkably like a real conversation. The content shared was a bit alarming, I must admit. It feels like a rather insidious form of marketing that plays on people's anxieties. Something ought to be done to curb this practice. It seems like either some kind of energy insulation company or a renewable energy provider is looking to exploit government funding, but in a rather dubious manner.

Didn’t pick up the phone again. I’m absolutely fed up with these persistent cold callers and scammers. It’s about time the government focused on tackling this issue instead of, let’s say, promoting harmful practices that could lead to dire consequences.

I've received a number of calls from this particular number and several of its close relatives.

There’s this blighter who goes by the name Chris, ringing up with a pre-recorded spiel about energy savings, crafted to give the illusion of an actual conversation. He’s become a persistent thorn in my side, completely disregarding the Telephone Preference Service. Steer clear of his dodgy schemes if you value your peace of mind!
