Phone number ☎️ 01202159740 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance linked to aggressive scam calls claiming to offer loft insulation surveys and free medical alarm packages worth over £200. Callers often use variations of the same number and spoof local Bournemouth area codes despite targeting wider regions. They may pose as energy consultants named Chris or use other common names, attempting to engage with short yes/no questions potentially to exploit answers for fraudulent activity, including unauthorised changes to energy suppliers. Multiple users have flagged these calls as harassment, warning particularly vulnerable groups such as those over 60. The calls frequently leave no messages or use vague voicemail instructions. Caution is strongly advised, and blocking the numbers offers limited protection due to constant spoofing. Reporting to authorities is recommended.
Reports on phone number 01202159740
5 yearsGot a call from a guy named Chris claiming to be an energy consultant, said he wanted to chat about loft insulation. Thing is, he was ringing from a bunch of different Bournemouth numbers, but I’m nowhere near that area. Bit fishy if you ask me.ChrisBournemouth5 yearsOn the 26th of October 2021, at exactly 2:01 in the afternoon, I got a ring on my landline from 01202159740. I checked the number here and it's just a bunch of rubbish. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.5 yearsGot loads of calls from this number and some that look almost the same, all from landlines. No doubt it’s a scam.5 yearsLet it ring through to voicemail. They said I’m eligible for a free £200 medical alarm and to ring them back on an 0800 number. Pretty sure it’s some kind of scam though.5 yearsTotal scam, don't trust it!5 yearsI've come across someone named Chris, who claims to be an expert in loft insulation. It certainly feels a bit dodgy to me. I suspect it's a scam.Chris5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're from Smart Selection, claimed they were checking up on insulation and energy efficiency. The number they called from was 07904944446, a mobile. Pretty sure it was a sales call though.5 yearsI've no idea whose number this is, but it seems like a dodgy call to me. Definitely looks like a scam!5 yearsI received a voicemail stating that I'd been chosen to get a medical alert system, and they requested that I ring them back at 08000 487800.5 yearsYesterday I got a call from 01202159741 or something super close to it, just one number different. They’ve been ringing me randomly for ages now, and they keep switching up their fake numbers so blocking doesn’t help at all. Honestly, blocking's useless because they just ring back with another disguised number.5 yearsSome bloke called Chris claiming he’s an energy advisor keeps phoning me from a new number all the time. I just keep blocking him, really annoying!Chris5 yearsWhenever they call, I always give them a flat no!5 yearsI got a voicemail the other day saying I’d won a free medical kit valued at more than £200 and they wanted me to ring them back on some 08000 number.5 yearsSomebody rang me about insulating the loft, sounded like they had a clue. They didn’t let me say much, just asked a quick yes/no question and then ended the call. I usually don’t pick up numbers I don’t know. Also, I heard someone came round the house yesterday about loft insulation while I wasn’t home, just found out now. No idea how they got hold of my number.5 yearsHonestly, these calls are just the worst. They act like they’re chatting with you, but in reality, they’re just recording what you say in the pauses between questions. The person on the line usually goes by names like Tom, John, Patrick, Matthew or sometimes Adrian. Every time I get one of these from some dodgy spoofed number, I make sure to report it to the proper officials. It’s about time they get caught because they’re messing up loads of lives, even those who don’t end up losing anything.ChrisPatrickTomMatthewAdrianJohn5 yearsGot a call from 01202159740 claiming to be some energy firm, but I reckon it might be dodgy. Watch out, could be a scam!5 yearsGot a ring from this number but they didn’t leave any message.5 yearsI swear these lot are driving me mad, keep ringing me nonstop. It’s so frustrating, I’m proper angry now. If they ring once more, I’m definitely calling 999. I’ve got a pacemaker and a defibrillator, and I rely on my phone to stay in touch with the hospital. Now my alarm's gone off cause my heart’s pounding like mad.5 yearsAt 2:15 this afternoon, this number called me. I picked up and replied in a really formal tone, saying, "Good afternoon, how may I assist you?" but they just ended the call straight away! From my experience, sounding like you belong to a company puts them off - they don’t bother with people they think are business types. It definitely worked this time. Since they hung up so quickly, it’s clear it was some kind of scam.5 yearsHonestly, I didn’t realise we had a call blocker set up. It just shows the number was blocked and didn’t ring through, guess it gets recorded somewhere too.5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to supply windows and doors, sounded dodgy so I blocked the number straight away. Definitely a scam.5 yearsI got a call from a bloke called Chris, said he was from the energy company wanting to know if I owned the house. When I asked who he was, he went silent, and I didn’t want to say yes or no, so I just ended the call. I’ve heard stories about how they try to trap you by getting a simple yes or no, then switch your provider without permission or worse, use it in scams. Feels pretty risky to me.Chris5 yearsThey tried this insulation trick on me. Said they needed to take out the old stuff and have me buy new insulation to go in its place. Total scam.5 yearsSCAM ALERT - These folks were pretending to offer free insulation for your roof and energy savings, trying to make it sound like you qualify. I let them talk a bit before I told them they were using a number that's clearly not legit. They called me again today, same young bloke too! If you’re over 60, watch out because they definitely aim for older people. My advice: just ignore and hang up straight away!5 yearsSo I got a call from someone named Chris claiming to be an energy and insulation specialist in our area. The funny thing is, they said they were from Bournemouth, but we actually live up in Northants. Bit odd, right?ChrisBournemouthNorthamptonshire5 yearsReceived a call earlier today about a survey for loft insulation and damp issues. Seemed like a scam to me, so I've blocked the number.5 yearsI've had numerous calls from this number, yet they never bother to leave a voice message. Quite bothersome, isn't it?Submit Your Own Report (01202 159740)
