01204200291 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01204200291 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting individuals with claims about home repairs, damp, mould, or housing issues. Callers often appear knowledgeable about names and past addresses but lack credible affiliation with local councils or housing authorities. They pressure recipients to permit inspections or claim compensation shares, with false pretences such as life insurance offers or health assessments. The number frequently changes slightly, avoiding blocks, and calls are generally unsolicited with no voicemail left. Many victims describe harassment, suspicion of fraud, and advise blocking and reporting to authorities like Action Fraud. Caution is strongly advised; do not engage or provide personal information, and verify any genuine contact with official council or housing bodies independently.

Definitely a home repair con artist. I’ve blocked the number already.

It's definitely a scam. If you get dodgy calls or texts, make sure to let the police know. Just search for 'action fraud' on Google, head to the UK police website, then find the phishing report section. Scroll all the way down and you’ll see where you can file a report. Don't ignore these things!

I just had a chat with Anita. Their game is to locate houses that need fixing and then push the relevant council or landlord to sort it out. After that, they file for compensation and expect to take a 25% cut from whatever payout comes through.

Got a call about a complimentary health assessment and checkup. They tried to book a doctor to visit me at home for an exam. Then they started asking stuff about my life insurance. No idea who these people are. Smells like a scam to me.

Some bloke claiming to be from the "Council" wouldn't give me an email to contact them, then just dropped the line. Pretty sure it was a scam.

This number keeps calling me, and sometimes it’s the same one with just the last few digits different. They never leave a voicemail, so I just don’t pick up. I’m about to block it for good now.

I’m always blocking their calls, but they just ring again from a number that's almost the same, only the last two digits differ. It's like an endless cycle. They never bother to leave a message either.

This morning I got a call from someone saying they were from the council about some repairs they said I needed, but I don’t even have a house right now, let alone a council one. I told him I was expecting an important call and asked him to stop ringing me. He started blocking my line on his end or something, which was bizarre. I’ve blocked loads of numbers from Bolton recently, and I warned him it was nearly harassment now. After that, he just hung up and said sorry.

This number has been ringing me off and on for a few days now but I haven’t picked up since I usually wait for a message if It’s someone I don’t know. Annoyingly, no voicemail has ever been left. After seeing what others said here I’ve decided to block it. Cheers for the info!

The caller claimed to be from social housing and gave an old address with the right name. Thing is, I actually owned that house and have nothing to do with social housing at all. I just ended the call.

This bloke with a foreign accent kept ringing, saying he was doing a survey about social care housing. He somehow knew my address but called me by my name from over a decade ago. They were asking about repairs that I supposedly hadn’t sorted. I told them I never reported anything, so nothing’s outstanding. After the fourth time I snapped and asked what exactly they wanted, they finally said they wouldn’t bother me again. It was really upsetting, especially since I’m disabled and unsure if they were offering some extra help or just hassling me. After seeing these other comments, I’ll definitely block their number now.

This lady called me claiming to be from the social housing dept, even telling me my name and where I lived. I didn’t say anything to verify and just ended the call. It’s actually the second time she’s rang me.

This number has rung me a few times, and I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of scam. At first, I assumed it was a technician because, strange as it sounds, my boiler had just broken down. The person on the other end, who had an Asian accent, started asking odd questions like how long I'd been at the address, how many bedrooms we had, and if there were any issues outside the property. None of this seemed relevant to the boiler problem. I ended the call, but he phoned back later. I warned that if he rang again, I’d contact the police, and then he abruptly hung up.

Got a call and they already knew my name, said something about housing repairs or something like that. I just hung up straight away. They’ve tried ringing me three times after that! After seeing what others said, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call from this number 01204 200291, said they were contacting me about some repairs needed on my rental place. Sounded a bit fishy to me. It’s from Bolton, England if that helps anyone. Be careful with these sort of calls!
