Phone number ☎️ 01202159712 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam linked to loft insulation offers, typically involving automated or pre-recorded calls from afar, falsely claiming to be local energy advisors or government representatives. Callers often pressure recipients to book free surveys or warn about alleged insulation issues causing damp, despite lacking property details or evidence. Many note the use of varying numbers to bypass blocking, with calls frequently ending abruptly when interest is declined. These calls have caused frustration due to their repetitive, misleading nature, and attempts to extract personal information. Recipients are advised to remain cautious, avoid engagement, block the numbers, and rely on official channels for home energy consultations.

5 yearsBeware of Chris, the con artist peddling loft insulation in Bournemouth!ChrisBournemouth5 yearsHonestly, this call was really annoying. The person kept switching up what the service was all about - soundin’ pretty dodgy to me. Could easily trick a bunch of folks, I reckon. Scam alert!5 yearsFor the past half year, I've been getting loads of calls from this number plus others that look almost the same. Every time I block one, another pops up from a different number. It's pure harassment and clearly a scam, all about trying to cheat you out of money. Totally dodgy as always.5 yearsGot a call on my landline around 10 this morning. As soon as the answering machine started, I just hung up. Decided to check the number after and found loads of reports saying it's a scam about insulation and driveway stuff! Blocked the number straight away!5 yearsGot a call about loft insulation saying they were doing work nearby. At first, I thought it was one of those recorded messages, so I tested it out. Asked the guy what my postcode was and what 2 plus 3 made. He just kept going like nothing. Honestly, if this is a scam call, it's one of the most convincing recorded ones I've heard so far.5 yearsI just ignored the call, didn't pick up.5 yearsHad a bloke on the line who was a bit too pushy. Claimed the government flagged my house for bad insulation and wanted to arrange a survey. Reckoned he was my “local” agent, but he was ringing from well over 170 miles away! Didn’t even know how old my property is or any proper details. Pretty clear scam to flog insulation.5 yearsThe caller sounded like a real person, but the responses were off, or maybe they just weren’t paying attention. They were trying to pitch loft insulation, but we don’t even have a loft and we're on the TPS list, so I just ended the call.5 yearsSo this is the second time “Chris” has rung me up. The first was about a week back. He claimed to be some sort of local energy advisor. The voice sounded like your usual average British bloke, but the weird part was that it was pretty much the exact same spiel as before. I quickly told him I’d already said no last time, cutting him off. He ended the call nice and politely, wishing me a good day. Makes me think this might’ve been some sort of automated message, that was oddly courteous.Chris5 yearsGot a call from some so-called ‘local’ energy expert, but when i mentioned the area code was nowhere near mine, he just went quiet. Then he started saying my loft insulation might be causing mould and damp, even though i told him i’d already upgraded it. Ended the call pretty quick. Definitely a scammer.5 yearsGot a call from some bloke about loft insulation, offering a free survey. He asked if I owned the place, and when I said I didn't, he just said thanks and hung up. Sounds like a dodgy scam to me, so I've blocked the number.5 yearsI picked up the phone and it just went dead on me. Classic sign of one of those annoying robot scam calls.5 yearsGot a call rambling on about some loft insulation stuff, complete nonsense if you ask me. Not interested at all.5 yearsGot several calls from someone claiming to be a local energy company. First time they rang, the bloke seemed genuine and arranged a visit to check out the place. I waited all day but nobody turned up or even phoned to say they wouldn’t make it. A few weeks later, they called again, almost word for word the same, asking if I wanted to set another appointment. When I told them about the last no show, they apologised and hung up quite abruptly. Since then, they've tried ringing two more times with the same spiel, so clearly no lessons learnt. I’ve had enough and blocked the number using BT 1572 now.5 yearsCheers for the warning! Sounds like they’re just dialing numbers from some list without checking who they’re ringing. I’ll just let mine ring out to voicemail from now on.5 yearsGot a call the other day from someone claiming there was condensation because of our loft insulation. Total scam, trying to trick people into paying for stuff they don’t need. Really annoying how they use these fake issues to get in touch!5 yearsSomeone called claiming to be John from the driveway centre, but as soon as I told them I just had a parking spot, they ended the call straight away.John5 yearsMe and my husband were having a chill morning in bed, catching up on sleep after staying up late checking on a poorly relative. Suddenly, my phone rang and I shot down the stairs, heart pounding. But just as I got there, the caller had already ended the call. So frustrating to later discover it was one of those annoying nuisance calls when I looked the number up online. Gonna give blocking it a go now.5 yearsReceived a call this morning around 9:45 from someone claiming to be with M G. They said my property had outdated insulation in the loft, which sounded quite believable and the person seemed quite polite. I’d already told them before that I wasn’t interested, so I repeated that to them. Without even a sorry, they just hung up on me. It was a different phone number, but I reckon it’s just another one of those endless “cold calls” going around. Folks really need to watch out for these kinds of calls.G5 yearsGot a call from someone called Chris claiming to be an energy advisor from around here, asking if I wanted loft insulation. As soon as I said I wasn’t interested, the phone just cut off.Chris5 yearsGot a call offering loft insulation, and get this - they’re over 200 miles away! Totally unbelievable. It was some dodgy automated caller, something I hadn’t come across before. Such a waste of time, honestly. Since it came through my landline, they should just be blocked straight away. What a bunch of chancers!5 yearsSome bloke rang me, said he was from the local energy company or something, but when I asked him to say again who he was, he just cut the call straight away.5 yearsIgnored the call since I didn’t know the number. Later, got a message on my answering machine saying I qualified for a free health alert service valued at more than £100 and to call back on a free 0800 number!5 yearsGot a call about some loft insulation and the bloke didn’t realise he was on a business number. I was just doing my office job when he rang, and as soon as he found out, he quickly said sorry and ended the call. Definitely seemed like a dodgy scam attempt.5 yearsI’ve had four calls over the past ten days from someone named ‘Chris’ saying they’re worried about my loft insulation. He keeps asking if I own the house, but whenever I try to find out who he actually is, he just hangs up. It’s really frustrating since we recently had our loft properly insulated anyway. Plus, it’s quite worrying that a stranger is trying to get personal details like that.Chris5 years01202 159712 rang me saying they were from the Government doing a survey on Loft Insulation, claiming it was causing condensation issues. They offered a Free Loft Survey. I asked for their number to call back, which obviously triggered a warning on my phone. The guy kept avoiding giving it, saying he'd get to that shortly. After a bit, I told him to just "skip ahead" as I wasn’t having any of it. He then went quiet for a few minutes before I said I wasn’t going to waste any more time on a dodgy call. When there was no reply, I ended the call.Gov. UK5 yearsGot a call from this number today claiming to be the Insulation Advisory Line in Reading, supposedly linked to a government loft insulation register (which doesn’t even exist!). They said I’d recently had insulation fitted - which is totally untrue - and that it was causing damp issues. Sounds like a total scam to me. It’s obviously an automated call, and if you keep repeating the same question, they run out of options and just keep saying “no” over and over. Try throwing in some weird questions just for laughs and watch what they do. :)Insulation Advisory LineReading5 yearsGot a call on my home phone at about 10 this morning. The moment the answering machine started, they just cut off! Instantly blocked!5 yearsI just got one of those robocalls, sounded like Chris was talking for real but he’s definitely not. If you don’t reply right away, there’s a sort of gap and then he’ll say the same thing again. Kinda gives off those dodgy insulation scam vibes. Don’t have any solid evidence, but seems likely. Best bet with calls like this is not to say anything and maybe even change your phone or something.ChrisSubmit Your Own Report (01202 159712)
