01202159712 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

Beware of Chris, the con artist peddling loft insulation in Bournemouth!

Honestly, 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!

For 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.

Got 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!

Got 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.

I just ignored the call, didn't pick up.

Had 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.

The 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.

So 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.

Got 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.

Got 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.

I picked up the phone and it just went dead on me. Classic sign of one of those annoying robot scam calls.

Utter nonsense regarding insulation for loft spaces!

They purport to be a 'local' energy supplier and have reached out to me on four occasions. During the initial call, they did seem quite convincing and arranged for someone to come and assess my property. However, I ended up waiting all day, but no one showed up, nor did I receive any notification. Fast forward a few weeks, and they rang me again, using the same spiel and inquiring if I’d like to set up another appointment. I mentioned the previous no-show, to which they responded with an apology before abruptly hanging up. They've since called me twice more with the identical script, clearly not catching on. I've had enough and have now blocked their number using BT’s service 1572.

Cheers for the tip! It appears they might be sifting through some sort of directory and dialing up numbers at random. I reckon I’ll just let my answering machine take care of it.

I received a rather peculiar phone call, where the person on the other end pretended to represent a company concerning loft insulation and its supposed links to condensation issues. Quite the odd topic to ring up about, I must say!

A chap who introduced himself as John from the driveway centre called me up. The moment I mentioned that I merely had a parking space, he suddenly disconnected the call. Quite odd, really!

My husband and I were enjoying a rare lazy morning, having stayed up late to care for a poorly relative. I leapt out of bed, racing down the stairs, my heart pounding furiously, only to have the caller hang up just as I was about to answer. It’s infuriating to discover later that it was yet another spam call. I suppose it's time to look into blocking the number.

Received a call around 9.45 this morning from someone claiming to be from M G. They mentioned that a property of mine was flagged for having outdated insulation in the loft. It all sounded rather convincing and the caller had a friendly tone, which is quite typical, isn't it? I had already made it clear in a previous conversation that I wasn’t interested, so I reiterated that again. Strangely enough, without so much as an apology, the caller abruptly ended the conversation. Although this was a different number, I can't shake the feeling it’s just another one of those pesky cold calls. It's a reminder for all homeowners to remain vigilant and cautious!

I received a call from someone claiming to be Chris, my local energy consultant. He inquired about loft insulation options, but as soon as I mentioned I wasn't interested, the line went completely silent. Quite peculiar, really!

I received a call regarding loft insulation from someone over 200 miles away! Quite unbelievable, isn't it? It seems to be yet another automated calling system, which is a new twist for me! Complete time-wasters and opportunists, if you ask me. Definitely should be flagged and blocked, especially since it's a landline number!

The individual asserted he was from a nearby energy supplier, but when I requested him to clarify his identity, he abruptly cut the call.

I missed the call as the number was unfamiliar to me. They left a message on my answering machine saying I could receive a complimentary health alert service valued at over £100 and urged me to call a free 0800 number. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I received a cheeky call regarding loft insulation, but what the caller didn’t realise was that he’d reached a business line. When he figured it out, he simply mumbled an apology and cut the line, clearly fishing for something dodgy!

I've received four calls in just ten days from someone claiming to be 'Chris,' who keeps asking about my loft insulation. The first thing he wants to know is whether I'm the homeowner. Every time I try to get more information about who he is, he hangs up without a word. It’s infuriating, especially since my loft has recently been fully insulated. What’s more worrying is the personal information he's asking for from someone I don't even know. It's rather unsettling, to say the least.

01202 159712 This caller asserted he was affiliated with Gov. UK, conducting a survey on loft insulation and its supposed link to condensation issues. He proposed a complimentary loft survey. I mentioned I'd get back to him and requested his contact number (which, needless to say, popped up on my screen). He kept dodging the request, claiming he’d address it shortly. In response, I urged him to “cut to the chase.” He fell utterly silent for a few moments, prompting me to inform him that I wasn’t going to squander any more time on what seemed to be a scam. When he didn’t respond, I decided to hang up the phone.

I received a call today from a number purporting to be the so-called Insulation Advisory Line based in Reading, claiming to be referencing a governmental record of loft insulation-something that, to my knowledge, doesn't exist! They insisted that I had recently had insulation fitted (which is absolutely false) and mentioned it was the cause of damp in my home. What a farce! It's evidently a robotic caller, and if you persist with the same inquiry, they seem to exhaust their options, ultimately leading to a monotonous "no" loop. For a bit of amusement, try throwing them some unexpected questions and observe their reactions!

I 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.
