01202159724 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01202159724 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam involving cold calls from purported local energy advisors, primarily targeting loft insulation concerns. Callers frequently use varied local numbers and employ pressure tactics, often ignoring requests to stop or provide verification. Many victims highlight the calls as intrusive, rude, and potentially fraudulent, with some identifying robotic or automated behaviour. The operation appears designed to mislead property owners or tenants into unnecessary services or information sharing. Most respondents advise ignoring or blocking the calls, stressing that legitimate organisations would leave messages rather than repeatedly call unsolicited. Overall, warnings emphasise that this is an illegitimate practice, urging caution against engaging and reporting to relevant authorities or the Telephone Preference Service.

5 yearsReceived a dodgy call concerning insulation for my loft.5 yearsI’d avoid picking up any calls that start with 01202 - it’s always these dodgy lot. They keep ringing from different numbers each time. Even though I’ve been ex-directory for ages, have my number on the TPS, and never shared it with anyone, they still manage to call me 3 or more times every day. Proper annoying!Telephone Preference Service5 yearsOn Friday 22/10/2021 I got a ring, it was supposed to be Chris but this time it was Patrick. He was still trying to sell me that lost insulation replacement. I told him I was contacting the police, but he just wouldn’t stop with his pitch.ChrisPatrick5 yearsI got a call first from Chris, then later Patrick rang me up about the same thing - supposedly my insulation needed replacing. I said I’d be reporting them to the police, but the bloke just kept on chatting like nothing had been said.ChrisPatrick5 yearson friday 22/10/21, got a call that was usually from chris but this time a bloke named patrick rang me up. he was asking again about my lost insulation and wanting to fix it. i said i’d reported him to the cops but he just wouldn’t quit with his chat.ChrisPatrick5 yearsMost likely it's just a spam call so best to just not bother with it.5 yearsLike others have said, I got a call from a bloke who claimed the loft insulation at 'our' place was outdated and had to be replaced or something similar. I told him the property’s actually rented out, not ours. Instead of being polite, he just ended the call without a word of apology. Totally irritating and pretty disrespectful too.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the local energy company. They wanted me to verify if I owned the house. I just told them I’m a tenant instead, and that seemed to satisfy them. She said thanks and ended the call. Pretty reliable approach!5 yearsGot a call from this number but no voicemail was left. Pretty sure it’s just spam.5 yearsChris has rung me twice already in the past couple of weeks. I said I wasn’t interested, but he just won’t accept it. Honestly, it’s getting a bit tiresome now.Chris5 yearsI never pick up calls when the number's hidden or doesn’t show a name saved in my contacts. Most of the time, if it’s something legit or important, they’ll leave a voicemail and then I can decide to call back. Usually just spam anyway.5 yearsIt’s getting really annoying now - I just got another call about loft insulation, which we’ve never even had done! Who keeps ringing me about this? If I ever want any work done on my house, I’ll be the one to look into it, thanks. Honestly, I’m not even sure if these callers are legit or just wasting my time.5 yearsHad a call from someone called “Chris, energy advisor from your area” again, that’s twice this week now. We’re signed up to the telephone preference service so really shouldn’t be getting these cold calls. This guy just wouldn’t stop yapping, even after we said we weren’t bothered and didn’t want to hear his sales pitch. Proper annoying!ChrisTelephone Preference Service5 yearsSome woman called me claiming to be a 'local energy advisor'. She wanted to know if I owned the property, but when I asked which one she was talking about, she just didn’t answer. Asked her again and then she just cut the call. Definitely felt like spam.Tracey5 yearsGot a call from this number, and I swear it sounded like some kind of robot or something cause you can’t really talk to them. They never say who they really are or where they got your contact from, and dodge all the questions you throw at them. They claim to be from some loft insulation advice thing, asking loads of stuff about your home. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust these people for a second - feels like a proper scam to me!5 yearsThe moment I answered, I just ended the call straight away. I don't know anyone from Bournemouth at all.Bournemouth5 yearsDefinitely a scam aimed at older people, they claim anyone over 50 can get a free loft insulation check. They rang me asking about my loft insulation, but I don’t even have a loft! Don’t get caught up in this, it’s clearly just an automated call. Watch out and don’t respond to them.5 yearsI keep getting calls on my landline from some dodgy number in Bournemouth. They never say who they are or leave a voicemail, which makes me think it’s a scam. Surely if it was a legit company, they’d at least leave a message? Anyway, I’ve blocked them now and I’m just waiting for the next one to appear so I can block that too. Proper annoying!Bournemouth5 yearsGot a call from some energy advisor robot named "Tracy" - well, I told them to do one sharpish! Bournemouth ain't exactly round the corner, is it? What a load of muppets.TracyBournemouth5 yearsGot a call regarding some loft insulation the other day. I’m ex directory, but that clearly means bugger all nowadays. When I asked how they managed to find my number, the bloke just switched from talking to a recorded message. Definitely steer clear of these dodgy lot!5 yearsHonestly, it’s about time cold calls were banned for good.5 yearsSome bloke said he was an energy advisor, so I told him I was the Queen of Sheba. Cheers for the call though!Sheba5 yearsGot a call from someone who said they were Sam at "Windows & Doors," trying to talk me into some kind of window scrappage deal!Sam5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming I must have been using a government grant for loft insulation for the past decade (which is totally untrue). Then he rambled on about how it could lead to damp issues in some properties, which definitely doesn’t apply to mine. Just to mess with him a bit, I asked what sort of property he meant and predictably, he cut me off and ended the call. Well, that was unexpected!5 yearsHad a missed call earlier today from a Bournemouth number starting 01202159724 but didn’t pick up. They left a voicemail claiming I’d been picked for a free medical alert device worth more than £200 and told me to ring 08000487800 to get it. Obviously, I didn’t bother calling them back because it sounded dodgy as hell. I get loads of calls from similar Bournemouth numbers beginning 01202159, just the last three digits keep changing - like this one ending in 724. The first time I answered one of these calls over the summer, it was some bloke named Chris trying to flog energy surveys and insulation. Honestly, these twits need to be shut down by the cops, this sort of cold-calling should be banned completely.BournemouthChris5 yearsIs there any way to figure out who these folks actually are and what they’re up to behind the scenes?5 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were my energy advisor, but when I checked, the call came from over 130 miles away. I hung up straight away. Definitely a scam, avoid them.5 yearsAt 11.42am on the 22nd of October, I missed a call at my home in Bristol.Bristol5 yearsGot a call from 101202159724 today, someone said they were from an energy firm and talked about my loft insulation creating damp. Since I fitted the loft on my own, I immediately suspected it was a con. Don’t get involved with these people at all, just end the call right away.Submit Your Own Report (01202 159724)
