01202979096 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01202979096 👆 is reported as a nuisance and scam caller originating mainly from the Bournemouth and Manchester areas, frequently employing aggressive and deceptive sales tactics. Callers impersonate legitimate companies and government schemes to push unnecessary services like plumbing, drainage insurance, loft insulation, solar panel checks, and call-blocking packages. Many use personal details to lend credibility but hang up abruptly when challenged or refused information. They often ignore Telephone Preference Service (TPS) registrations, making multiple daily calls that harass recipients, sometimes elderly or vulnerable. The callers use scripted, insistent approaches, resorting to rudeness or threats if resisted. It is strongly advised not to engage, never disclose personal or financial information, and block the numbers as these calls are considered fraudulent and potentially dangerous.

Got a call from "Secure My Home" about plumbing and drainage cover, claiming my policy ended and they’re switching me to a different plan with payments taken automatically. Told them I don’t have any policy or drainage cover with them, and they said it was set up through a third party before just hanging up. The number that showed on my phone was 0161 5200058, which is from Manchester.

Had some muppet ring me up pretending to be from 'secure my home,' trying to sell me a "better deal" on plumbing and drainage insurance (which is hilarious cos I don’t even have insurance on that stuff). Don’t be daft and fall for it, you’ll end up coughing up for insurance you don’t actually want, to people who probably won’t do a thing if you ever need them.

He was proper insistent that I had a drain cover via some third party, wouldn’t listen when I said I didn’t. Told him both he and his details were off. Gotta admit, he kept at it. Even went as far as announcing himself with Call Guardian. Stubborn little sod. Number’s blocked now for good.

I've just had a call from 01202979096 regarding my drain cover insurance, saying I wasn’t on the best deal. I told him I didn’t have any drain insurance at all. He kept saying I must have it with British Gas or Homeserve and that I’d be getting a pack and certificate soon. Then he asked me to confirm my bank details which he claimed he already had, and that he'd confirm with me. Once I said I never share bank info over the phone, he hung up straight away. Bit suspicious if you ask me! I’ve blocked the number now.

I just got a call from 02030105615 claiming it was about my drain cover insurance, saying I wasn’t on the best deal. I told them I didn’t have any drain insurance at all. They kept insisting it was with British Gas or Homeserve and said I’d be getting a pack with a certificate soon. They asked me to confirm my bank details, which they apparently already had, and said they’d verify it with me. The moment I said I never share my info over the phone, they hung up.

I just got a call from 01202979096 about renewing drainage insurance, which I don’t even have. I explained this to them but they kept saying I had it with British Gas. They then asked for my bank details, but I told them I don’t use British Gas. After that I told them not to call me anymore. This has got to be a scam.

A lady rang from "Secure My Home" trying to convince us we were overpaying for drainage insurance for years with either British Gas or Homeserve. We live out in rural Lancashire with no gas or sewer connections within a few miles of our place. She kept insisting she was doing us a favour, but it was obvious she had a set script and wasn’t really listening to anything I said. The only way I got through to her was by being quite blunt. Took about 6 or 7 minutes, but she eventually twigged.

I got a call from 01202 979096 regarding drainage insurance. The lady on the phone claimed she’d already chatted with my wife and even knew her first name (which is odd since my wife never got any call). When I mentioned I already had insurance with a different company, she said she was working for them, or at least something like that. Then she just cut me off straight away when I said I’d only discuss anything with the company I was with.

I was with an older woman when she got a call from this number. Luckily, I spotted it was dodgy and managed to end the call before she shared any info.

Some bloke called saying I owed money for some call blocking service (never paid for anything like that) and was trying to cancel it. When I asked who they were, they kept dodging the question. Then they told me some old account details that don’t even belong to me. I said I’d rather not deal with it, and suddenly the caller got all stroppy, said he’d cancel it anyway and then just hung up. Looks like they’re just checking which numbers pick up. Feeling a bit daft for answering at all.

I've noticed this number popping up quite a bit lately with missed calls. I picked up the phone twice, but each time it was completely silent on the other end. Does anyone know the proper way to report these nuisance calls and how I can go about blocking the number? Cheers!

Today, I received an incessant barrage of five phone calls, each time from someone brandishing an arbitrary name and a random address, claiming to seek a particular individual. When their attempts to glean information were met with resistance, they turned rather hostile. It baffles me what kind of ruse they’re trying to spin, masquerading under the guise of some non-existent goods or services. It does make one ponder, if only for a fleeting moment, how desperate a person must be to resort to such underhanded tactics for a living-whether it be through deceit or outright theft. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to share the number 01202979096 on social media, encouraging others to inundate them with calls!

Got five calls today from them, each time using a different name and address for the person they supposedly want to speak to. When they can’t get the info they’re after, they just get rude. No clue what scam they’re pushing, pretending it’s for some kind of product or service. Makes you wonder how desperate someone has to be to choose this kind of dirty work. Might be worth sharing 01202979096 on social media and encouraging folks to ring them back non-stop.

I received a staggering five phone calls today from someone claiming to be looking for a random person, complete with an address. When they couldn't get the details they were after, their attitude turned quite nasty. I really can't fathom what sort of con they’re trying to pull, masquerading as a legitimate service or product. It makes one ponder, albeit fleetingly, just how desperate someone must be to resort to such underhanded tactics for a living. Perhaps it would be wise to share the number 01202979096 across social media platforms and encourage others to flood their lines with calls.

Received a call earlier today, the 2nd of January 2018, from a chap named James representing Shield Core Management, supposedly to curb unwanted calls! He mentioned that our contract was coming up for renewal in May. Oddly enough, he had my surname and when I expressed confusion over this service, he promised to send over some documents. Then, without further ado, he hung up. Quite peculiar, don't you think?

These lot just won’t stop ringing about roofing insulation, even when I’ve told them a million times to take me off their calling list. I was polite the whole time, even though I had no interest in what they were pushing. The guy on the phone seemed convinced he had me hooked and turned nasty after I said no to a site survey. Honestly, the whole thing felt pretty scary and intimidating.

Today, a lady called my wife claiming that I signed up for a phone monitoring plan two years ago and asked for our payment info to collect £139 that’s supposedly due. This is complete nonsense as we never agreed to anything like that. It’s clearly a scam, so just don’t answer or hang up straight away. I’ve also reported it to the TPS.

I said yes to a roof check from a firm called [#]roofwise[###]. A guy named 'Andre' had a look, said the insulation was knackered and asked for £5000 for new stuff. It sounded a lot like cavity wall insulation but put straight onto the roofing felt. They said they were based in Bournemouth. Feeling a bit iffy about it, so I’m thinking not to go ahead with it.

Got a call today from someone saying they sell a foam spray that can cut gas and electric heating bills by 30%, promising it’d pay for itself within four years tops. They just kept rattling on, trying to get me to agree to a “free estimate”. Bit odd really, since they knew nothing about the place they were ringing - an office building in London. Maybe I should’ve accepted the free estimate since they said they’d come round evenings or weekends. Might be a bit petty, but it’d be quite satisfying to waste their time in return!

There’s a way to deal with these annoying calls - I signed up for BT’s free call protect thing, it lets you block any number you want. You can find out more on their website. Not sure if other phone companies offer the same, but it’s worked for me. Since I set it up, I haven’t had any trouble at all.

I wasn’t around when this call came through, and they didn’t bother to leave a message. It does ring a bell though; I had a previous call about loft insulation. They informed me that the insulation I currently have isn’t compliant anymore and that I ought to switch to something more eco-friendly. Quite the conundrum!

Absolute rubbish insulation sales again. I was just about to leave when the phone rang. A woman asked for me specifically and started on about some survey on rockwool. I cut her off by telling her I’m on the TPS register, then told her exactly what I thought of her and her calls. She had the nerve to moan about me being rude, so I reminded her not to bother anyone on the TPS. Then she said I’d be getting loads more calls, which seemed like a threat. I asked her straight if she was threatening me, and she quickly backed down. Told her I wasn’t interested and hung up.

Got a call from some lot claiming to be from a firm named Roofwise, saying my home had fibreglass insulation in the loft. I've had similar calls a few times, and they all felt dodgy to me. The person on the other end clearly had no clue about me or my place but was trying to persuade me to use grants for insulation upgrades. Sounds like a scam if you ask me.

Got a call about some energy thing and grant-funded fibreglass insulation they supposedly fitted in my loft. I've had this scam before. A couple years ago, they tried telling me the fibreglass was dangerous or something, and when I said I didn’t believe them and wasn’t interested, the guy called me daft! Today, I think the same bloke called back, but I told him I’d already been conned by them and promptly ended the call. I think the company’s called Roofwise[###], who I’ve caught out as scammers and have reported to Trading Standards.

I've received a call from a company attempting to hawk a service to inspect my solar panels' efficiency. Seems rather strange considering I've had them installed for more than five years without a hitch. I've opted to ignore their attempts for now, as life is quite hectic. Thankfully, they're scheduled to ring me again next week. By that time, I plan to report them to the Telephone Preference Service, especially since I've been ex-directory for over two decades!

I gave my elderly parents a ring to chat, and they told me about a call from someone claiming that the Government was funding new insulation. Apparently, the old Fibreglass in their loft was deemed not up to standard anymore. This caller wanted to swing by tomorrow to check it out! What shocked me was that they actually mentioned my parents by name - how bizarre and unacceptable, especially considering their phone number is private! It's a bit concerning to think about how much personal info they've got. Honestly, the Data Protection laws seem to be a complete joke! I had a quick look online and, like many others, ended up sharing my frustration here. Fingers crossed this caller gets in touch again; my Dad's geared up for him and is likely to give him a right telling off!

Had a call earlier from a company I believe called 'Energy Line'. I calmly told the person that we’re registered with the phone preference service and they shouldn’t be contacting me, but he kept going on about my loft insulation being outdated and some government grant. I just stopped replying and when he hung up, he muttered something like 'f***ing b****'. I tried calling the number back, got one of those 'your call is important to us' messages, then someone - probably the same man - picked up but hung up straight away when I asked for their company name.
