3 yearsI got a call from an unknown number but I didn't pick up and they didn’t leave any voicemail either.3 yearsThis guy called me and started off by calling me “lovely”. I told him straight away I wasn’t his “lovely” and found it a bit rude how he spoke to me. He denied being disrespectful, so I just hung up. Not long after, he rang again and kicked off exactly the same way. I told him again, as a woman likely way older than him, I didn’t think it was right to use that term and asked him to stop. He then said he’d keep calling people “lovely” and that I wasn’t there to tell him what to do. So, I told him I wasn’t going to chat anymore and ended the call once more.3 yearsGot a missed call from this number, only rang once and I didn’t pick up since it was unfamiliar. It’s been ringing me loads over the last few months. Never answered any of them, but I decided to check it out here and turns out they’re all about loft insulation! Weird thing is, the numbers keep changing and usually say they’re from Manchester. Of course, being on the TPS for decades hasn’t stopped them, guess it’s pretty pointless!Manchester3 yearsI just saw this number pop up on my phone, so I went ahead and blocked it straight away.3 yearsI got a call from 01202790824 and some bloke who said his name was James answered. He actually knew my name and started talking about new energy rules or something. I quickly realised it was probably a scam and just ended the call. It’s crazy how these people manage to have your personal info so quickly. Someone really needs to do more about stopping these scammers.James3 yearsSomeone called saying they were from Quality Homes Repairs and told me my loft insulation wasn’t up to scratch anymore. The tone and the noise in the background made me suspicious, like it was just some call centre trying to scam me. I ended the call straight away and blocked the number.Quality Homes Repairs3 yearsReceived a rather unsettling call for my elderly mother, promoting some sort of home improvement programme targeted at those between 64 and 84 years of age. Alarmingly, they had her name and address, which is quite concerning.3 yearsPretty sure it was one of those dodgy energy scams, didn’t chat with them for more than a minute or two.3 yearsI hung up straight away once I picked up.3 yearsApparently this bloke is an energy advisor around here. He said that old loft insulation stuff like fibre glass is actually banned now. Quite interesting, wasn’t expecting that!3 yearsI received a rather unexpected call from this number claiming they’d send a technician to assess my loft insulation. I've attempted to ring them back to cancel the appointment, but it seems I'm unable to get through. Looks like I’ll have to inform them that I'm not interested in having the loft inspected and I was under the impression this service was complimentary.3 yearsGot a call from 01202790824 claiming they offer free loft insulation funded by the government, but it’s just another scam. My wife picked up earlier, then they rang back. They only want your bank info. Seriously, don’t trust them.3 yearsPicked up the phone and all I got was a dial tone, so I just hung up.3 years01202790824 keeps ringing but no one talks when I pick up. quite annoying.3 yearsGot a call from someone asking about the old owner of the house to talk about loft insulation. When I questioned them, they got quite unpleasant and just snapped, saying they didn’t have time to deal with me before hanging up. Wouldn’t bother with these people.3 yearsGot a missed call with no sound while I was home, no voicemail or anything. Checked it out here and decided to block the number.3 yearsGot a call on my landline from a bloke with a southern English accent. He said he knew who I was and even my address but I never said anything to confirm that. Said he was ringing about my property and wanted to set up a face-to-face meeting. The guy was really pushy and came across as quite intimidating.3 yearsScam alert, please don’t waste your time!FRAUD ALERT3 yearsStrange thing is, I go ages without any spam calls and then suddenly, got three in one morning. Didn’t pick up on any of them, but they showed up as from London, Leeds and Bournemouth.LondonBournemouthLeeds3 yearsGot a call from some so-called 'local energy advisor for seniors' - he actually knew my name! He began talking but hung up right before I could tell him to shove off.3 yearsI got a ring saying it was from "Windows," saying there were hackers on my PC and they'd sort it out for me. Sounds nice, but we all know who was really trying to mess with my computer!3 yearsThere was no sound when the answering machine picked up the phone.3 yearsDefinitely a con, watch out for it.3 yearsGot a call from someone talking about 'building regs' or something like that. I said I wasn't interested and ended the call. Felt like a scam to me. He sounded really sure of himself and even knew my name, which was a bit creepy.3 yearsGot a call from some bloke, Daniel, who was trying to flog me roof insulation. He reckoned that back in 2023, I was involved in a government initiative where they checked your roof insulation for free to make sure it met standards, and that they’d come back in 20 years at no cost to check it again since their inspectors are working nearby now. I told him I figured they’d turn up and say it’s no good anymore and needs replacing, which I just can’t afford. He went on about maybe getting a grant depending on my situation. I told him to jog on and hung up.Daniel3 yearsOn the 30th of August 2023, a chap named Lewis rang up my elderly relative, claiming he was coming round with thermal imaging equipment the following day and required entry to the loft. When it was made clear that they wouldn't be allowed in, he abruptly hung up. Sounded rather convincing, I must say, and had clearly done his homework as he was aware of both the homeowner’s full name and the exact address. I've informed the police, and they’ll be looking into it. Additionally, I've shared this with the neighbours as a precaution.Lewis3 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone who said they were doing some kind of energy check nearby. They seemed to know my name, which was a bit odd. Whenever I tried to find out the reason for the call, they got really unfriendly and ended up hanging up on me. Never really made sense what they wanted.3 yearsGot a call from this number, and the guy on the other end was really pushy. He said his name was Daniel Palmer and gave me a freephone number, but when I tried it, 0800 003 8484, it didn’t connect to anything. Definitely suspicious.Daniel Palmer3 yearsToTAl Scam alert!3 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming she was with some energy savings group. The story kept shifting as we spoke, she was trying to check on my insulation and said it needed improvements. When I asked how she got my number and why she ignored my TPS status, she just brushed it off, saying it wasn’t them but me who was at fault. Definitely felt like a proper scam to me.3 yearsGot a call from 01202790824 a moment ago. The guy asked if I was Mrs Watson, which I said I wasn’t since that’s not me. Then the line just went quiet and when I said hello again, he ended the call. Blocked the number straight away.Watson3 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming she was an "efficiency advisor" working for the "national booking office" or something like that. She wanted to tell me that anyone over 50 could get a grant for loft insulation. When I asked what exactly the national booking office was, she just cut off the call! Bit cheeky if you ask me!3 yearsI got two calls back to back right after I ended the first one. The guy wanted to speak to me by my last name, went on about some loft insulation and a grant, sounded really pushy. I just hung up again. Don’t bother answering!3 yearsGot a call from 01202790824 but they just cut off when I picked up the answerphone. Feels like a scam to me since they didn’t bother leaving a message. I’m on the TPS list too, so definitely dodgy.3 yearsSomeone rang me out of the blue saying I could get loft insulation for free. Turns out they just wanted to book a survey, so not really what they made it sound like. On top of that, they kept calling even though I’m on the TPS - really dodgy behaviour!3 yearsJust looked this number up, no voicemail or anything. I’ve blocked it now and also sent a report to 7726.3 yearsSaw a missed call from this number on my phone earlier and have gone ahead and blocked it now.3 yearsDidn’t pick up right away cos I didn’t know the number. Then after a bit, the person said, “Is …. available?” I just stayed quiet and they ended the call. Looked up the number online and then blocked it.3 yearsGot a few calls off this number in the last couple of days. Each time I picked up, there was nobody speaking. Tried to block the number but it didn't seem to work. Feels like one of those scam calls to me.3 yearsSomeone rang me up saying my insulation wasn’t doing its job properly and offered to replace it for free. When I said I needed time to consider it, the person sounded really irritated and hung up straight away. I don’t want to miss out if it’s legit, but I get loads of dodgy calls like that. If the Government really wants people to improve their homes, sending a letter would be a lot more convincing for me.Government3 yearsSaw a missed call from 01202 790824, so I called back. Some bloke with an American accent came on saying "your call is important to us, please wait for the next available agent." I was on hold for like 20 minutes and no one ever picked up. Pretty sure it's just a scam.3 yearsPhone just rang but nobody picked up. Ended up hanging up.3 yearsThey didn't leave any message on my voicemail.3 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were a Senior Conservation Officer working for my local council, saying they needed to inform me about some new laws. It felt really dodgy, obviously a scam. Pretty sure they just wanted to push some energy-saving services on me.3 yearsThis bloke rang me up claiming to be a Senior efficiency adviser, going on about house insulation... I didn’t hang around, just cut him off quick. I’m on the TPS list, so any legit company should know better than to ring me - these calls are dodgy as hell. --- Better than the nutter a while back saying, “I’m calling from Nigeria, can you send me £200?” I played along and said yeah, right!Telephone Preference ServiceNigeria3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with East Sussex County Council, but when I asked for proof, she switched and said she was from the National Booking Office or something, which I couldn’t find anywhere. She started asking about whether my house had insulation, then went on about a grant I supposedly received, which is not true at all. Feels like it was just a setup to send a sales rep round. After reading other reviews, it seems the story changes a bit, but it’s definitely dodgy and a scam.East Sussex County CouncilNational Booking Office3 yearsI answered the call and could hear a bunch of office chatter, but then the phone just cut off. Checked the number here afterwards and it said it might be risky.3 yearsI got a call yesterday with a ref code about loft insulation - they said a surveyor would get in touch today to set up an energy check. Something didn’t sit right with me, so I didn’t pick up when they rang this morning. They tried three times but never left a message on my answerphone. Carly gave me the code LGF70 to mention to the surveyor if I wanted a discount on any work done. Apparently, my neighbours had already had this done too, but if that’s true, I never saw any workers around! Feels like a complete con. Happened in Oxford.Oxford3 yearsI received a call from someone claiming that I enrolled in the Government Green Deal way back in 2003 and was apparently offered a loft insulation inspection. The thing is, I never signed up for this at all! Quite baffling, to say the least.Government Green Deal3 yearsI received a call from this number, claiming they were conducting a complimentary survey to assess the safety of my lift insulation. Seems rather dodgy to me, could be a scam!3 yearsGot a call today from someone saying they were an “energy advisor” for my area, pretending it was an official government line. They came across as quite genuine and sounded like they actually wanted to help. I ended up listening way longer than I usually do, maybe because they seemed so trustworthy. But in the end, it was just a ploy to set up a “property survey” for “energy savings.” Classic scam stuff if you ask me. It’s mad that they’re even still allowed to get away with this!3 yearsI've received yet another call from this firm regarding our supposedly outdated insulation, claiming that new building regulations are in effect. This is now the fourth time they've reached out to me, and it's beginning to feel quite dodgy. Definitely seems like a scam to me. Keep your wits about you!3 yearsI recently received what I suspect was a fraudulent call regarding a roof insulation assessment and a proposal to fit foam insulation beneath the tiles. After doing some research online, I discovered the potential risks involved, and promptly decided to cancel the inspection. However, after waiting on hold for around 6 or 7 minutes with the dreary 'your call is important to us' message, it was clear my call wasn’t going to be answered. I hung up, convinced this was indeed a scam! Now, I’m left wondering what to do about the inspection that’s set for tomorrow. Any advice?3 yearsJust avoid answering, it's definitely a scam.3 yearsI received a call concerning insulation for my loft the other day. The woman rattled on incessantly about the lack of energy efficiency in my home, barely pausing for breath. After what felt like an eternity, she finally suggested setting up an appointment for further discussion. Curiosity got the better of me, and I inquired about how she obtained my details. Instead of a straightforward answer, she kept insisting that my property’s rating was shockingly low. When I pushed back on her claims, she dismissed my concerns outright, claiming she had the accurate data. It definitely felt like a scam to me!3 yearsClaiming to offer insulating foam as an addition to roof insulation or rock wool, they’ve mentioned sending a surveyor to inspect the loft space.3 yearsSaw 01202790824 pop up but they just dropped the call as soon as the answerphone kicked in. Pretty sure it’s another sales pitch or scam, even though we’re signed up with the TPS. They’re useless unless you actually pick up.TPS3 yearsI’ve received a couple of unwanted calls from this number in rapid succession, all concerning home energy efficiency. I can’t shake the feeling it might be a scam. Has anyone managed to find out if this is a genuine company trying to reach out?3 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she worked for an energy efficiency firm. She asked about things like the state of my house, insulation quality, and if there was any moss growing on the roof. They promised a voucher to use against any quote for home improvements. She mentioned someone would ring me back within 15-20 minutes. So far, I haven’t had a follow-up call linked to that first conversation. Later on, I did receive a call from a company that deals with roof spray insulation, but I'm not sure if it's connected to the original caller or not.3 yearsI got a call from a woman who said she worked for an energy efficiency firm. She asked me loads of questions about my house - stuff like the state of the insulation, if there was moss on the roof, and things like that. They mentioned a voucher I could use towards any quote for home improvements. She told me someone would ring back within about 15 to 20 minutes. Up to now, no follow-up call linked to that first one has come through. Though I did later receive a call from a firm that deals with roof spray insulation. Not sure if it's connected or just a coincidence.3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with an energy advice company. Turned out to be a complete rip-off.3 yearsGot a call out of the blue just now. Definitely one of those pesky cold calls. Who actually makes these calls in the middle of the afternoon? Strange timing if you ask me.3 yearsThere was a man’s voice, quite rude sounding, who shouted some words I didn’t get, maybe five of them or so, then just cut the call. Honestly, that was pretty irritating.3 yearsI gave them a ring and waited to see if they'd leave anything on the voicemail. Nothing came through from them. Enough said.3 yearsVery pushy when it comes to loft insulation, claiming you’re listed on some national registry - but won’t divulge how they got that info. They also make it a point to confirm if you’re over 60.3 yearsI picked up and the call just ended right away. I’ve blocked the number and reported it since.3 yearsPure scam, this one; trying to flog loft insulation! I can’t help but think how demoralising and degrading it must be for the person making those calls. Truly a pity, isn’t it?3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were doing a survey 'round my area tomorrow. I first thought they were talking about repairs or something like that. But then the bloke said it was a government scheme about insulation and they wanted to check out my house. I said no way, not happening, and hung up straight away. Seems like just another bunch of scammers to me.3 yearsReceived a dodgy call concerning loft insulation. Definitely steer clear!3 yearsI received a call inquiring about my late mother. I asked who was calling, and they abruptly ended the conversation.3 yearsUpon hearing that we had secured the rental, he mentioned that he would get in touch with the landlord.3 yearsSo, this lot reckoned I needed better loft insulation - mind you, we had that sorted just about half a year ago. Then they went on about cavity walls needing replacing too, which had already been done by our insurers for a big water leak around the same time. When I told them, nicely, to jog on after they called me a liar, they were proper rude about it!3 yearsPicked up the phone and all I could hear was a load of noise from what sounded like a call centre, but not a single word was said.3 yearsI got a call from this firm that says they do energy stuff, like loft insulation or whatever. The bloke, think his name was James, claimed I had insulation put in back in the early 2000s. He was quite rude and kept pushing even after I told him we insulated the loft ourselves. He was like, "Let me finish," even though I already said I’d asked to be removed from their call list after a previous call. I’ve reported them for cold calling and what feels like phishing. I never asked for anything from them or any energy company, and I definitely don’t want to be bothered by them again.James3 yearsSome random number rang me but when I tried calling back, no one picked up.3 yearsIt seems they randomly selected my number from a directory and then immediately ended the call.3 yearsThe phone buzzed with a call, but promptly disconnected before I could even pick it up. Strangely, there was no message registered on the answering machine.3 yearsLast week, I received a call from this number, and to my surprise, the caller was aware of both my name and address. I had scheduled an appointment for this week, but now I’ve made up my mind to forgo the insulation. They mentioned something about a grant I could claim. I've attempted to ring them back for clarification, but all I’ve encountered is endless waiting on the line.3 yearsTotally safe to pick up! Big thanks to James! :)James3 yearsA caller reached out claiming that I had registered for the Government’s Green Deal a few years back and wanted to assess the loft insulation made from fibreglass, as apparently it’s now deemed outdated. Just a heads up to everyone - stay alert!GovernmentDeal3 yearsThey said they were from some energy efficiency company, I think it was Shropshire Energy or something similar.Shropshire3 yearsGot a call from someone who said they were part of Shropshire Energy Efficiency or something along those lines.Shropshire3 yearsI called my mum earlier, and when she mentioned passing me on to her daughter, he abruptly ended the call. It seems quite likely that they are aiming to prey on unsuspecting elderly individuals with such disconcerting behaviour.3 yearsThey called out my name, and when I confirmed it was indeed me, they promptly dropped the line. I wouldn't put my faith in anyone behaving like that!3 yearsI received a call yesterday and it was just another load of nonsense about loft insulation. Definitely avoid this one!3 yearsI received a call on my home phone today. The person on the line mentioned my name as if they were familiar with me. They went on about how I qualified for some loft insulation. Curious, I inquired about how they came by my information, and wouldn’t you know it, they just abruptly ended the call! Quite the dodgy situation, I’d say.3 yearsI've got calls from this number popping up on my phone quite a bit, but whenever I pick up, the line just goes dead without a sound.3 yearsAre they a trustworthy company when it comes to loft insulation? I tried giving them a ring earlier, but I can't seem to reach them again.Submit Your Own Report (01202 790824)
