Phone number ☎️ 01202159497 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive nuisance scam primarily linked to loft insulation and energy efficiency. Callers often use varying local numbers to evade blocking and typically refuse to identify themselves fully. Targets include the elderly, with some posing as local energy consultants, but their claims are dubious. Many calls are silent or end abruptly when answered, suggesting fraudulent intent. Victims report harassment despite registering with the Telephone Preference Service.

Users are advised to block all similar numbers, avoid engagement, and consider using answerphones to screen unknown calls.

As many have pointed out, the individual orchestrating this loft deception goes by the name of Stuart Wright. He resides at 21a Plymouth Road, Barnt Green, Birmingham. All the phone numbers linked to this operation bear his name and address. It's hardly surprising that he enjoys such a spacious home, considering the way he continues to swindle unsuspecting victims!

This phone number has been ringing non-stop, super annoying! Tried blocking it but they switch up the last numbers all the time, so it’s been almost impossible to stop them.

Just had a call about some energy saving deal which felt really dodgy, so I've gone ahead and reported it to Action Fraud. Feels like a classic scam to me.

I keep getting loads of calls from almost the same number, but when I answer they either hang up or start going on about loft insulation or energy stuff. It’s really annoying!

keeps ringing saying he's checking the loft insulation for free, calls from someone named “chris”. when i ask for his full name or phone number he just hangs up straight away. quite annoying really.

Got a call out of the blue someone talking about putting insulation in my loft. Was a bit suspicious, sounded like one of those cold calls trying to sell stuff. Didn’t really want to get into it.

Total waste of time those scammers. I’ve put the 01202 area code on my block list, yet they keep ringing from other numbers. Keep at it, but you’ll never get through to me!

Got a call from someone named Tom about insulation we supposedly had done. We never had anything put in. Sounds like either some pushy sales call or a scam to me.

I've had a similar experience; I answered the call but nobody on the other end said a word. Seems like it could very well be a dodgy scam!

I really ought to have checked the caller ID prior to answering. The individual on the other end took a moment before initiating the conversation... "Good day, I'm Kris. How do you find yourself today?" Me: Good day to you, I'm alright, thank you... umm, may I ask what reason you had for contacting me? "I represent your neighbourhood energy supplier." (Now that's a bit dubious, considering I wasn't aware of any 'neighbourhood' energy suppliers.) Me: But why would you reach out to me when my number is on the telephone preference service list? ... A brief silence... and then, simply, the line went dead.

They keep pretending to be a local energy consultant, yet they’re clearly not from around here. I ended the call again, just like I’ve done previously, as I’ve made it quite clear that I’m not interested in what they’re peddling. Really frustrating!

I noted that I was signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, and just like that, the call was terminated.

I received a peculiar call regarding loft insulation, and the caller inquisitively asked if I’d had mine inspected lately. They then went on to ask if I fell within the age range of 70 to 80. When I cheekily replied that I was indeed 100 years old, they promptly ended the conversation! Definitely sounds like a scam or some telemarketer nonsense! 😂

I've just added this number to my blocked contacts, joining the rest of those pesky 01202 digits that have been pestering me lately. Utter scam artists!

I must admit, I'm a bit hard of hearing these days - my rather vintage noggin takes its time processing things! It felt like there was a genuine voice on the other end, starting with "Hello, I'm..." followed by a name that eluded me, and then mentioning they were a representative for some firm tied to my postcode. So I said: "Excuse me, could you repeat that?" But just like that, the call dropped! How frustrating!

Greetings, I’m Kris. Hope you’re doing well today! Just a quick note - I’ve been receiving calls which ramble on about loft insulation. Are you over 60? Well, I'm certainly not. It certainly seems like they’re attempting to pull a fast one on vulnerable seniors. So, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number 01202159497.

A pal of mine returned my call, and just when it ceased ringing, there was an unsettlingly lengthy silence followed by a distinct click. Now she's rather anxious that the call might have been diverted to some expensive premium number, perhaps even overseas. I'm located in Gt. Yarmouth.

Initially, there was quite a lengthy pause before the caller finally introduced himself as Kris, claiming to be an energy advisor in the neighbourhood. He inquired if I was the homeowner, to which I clarified that I’m merely a tenant and that the property is owned by a company, hence, regrettably, I couldn’t assist him. He responded rather courteously, saying, "Oh, that's alright, thank you for your time." It struck me that he could be working remotely, perhaps as a sales representative employing cold-calling strategies to attract new clients. Regardless, it’s rather vexatious and frankly quite inappropriate. I’ve heard similar accounts of these nuisance calls coming from various numbers in the Bournemouth region. Since I’m already aware of the one person who might legitimately ring me from that area, going forward, I’ll simply decline any calls from an 01202 number if it's not from them.

Honestly, I've tried ignoring the endless barrage of numbers that this fraudster constantly throws my way, but to no avail. I’ve let their automated spiel drone on, hoping to eat up some of their precious time - but that was fruitless as well! I even had a laugh and claimed I was 106 years old... and wouldn't you know, they promptly disconnected! Then I gave them the age of 26. Honestly, these blokes are not just daft but positively impudent. It's incredibly upsetting that they’re preying on older individuals, and such behaviour is utterly unacceptable! Individuals who engage in this kind of bullying need to be called out. It’s appalling behaviour, and I can only hope that they too experience the irritation when they’re in their golden years. So here it is loud and clear: DO NOT EVER CALL MY NUMBER AGAIN!

I’ve set my answering machine to be on at all times to filter out any unfamiliar numbers. The moment that automated voice started prompting for a message, they hung up immediately! It’s truly the finest piece of advice we received from BT years back during a phase of incessant nuisance calls and those irritating silent ones. They suggested having an answering machine and keeping it active all day long. That way, anyone who genuinely wishes to speak with me will leave a voicemail, and I’ll return their call when I can.
