01206573531 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01206573531 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance cold caller, primarily promoting solar energy offers under company names like First Energy or 1st Energy from Colchester. Despite many callers being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or having ex-directory numbers, the number continues to ring frequently, often multiple times a day. Calls sometimes feature silence or background noise without a clear representative speaking, and once engaged, the operators may become rude or abruptly hang up. Complaints highlight misleading local area codes, apparent disregard for privacy regulations, and unsuccessful attempts to be removed from contact lists. Many users have reported the number to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) due to repeated unwanted contact and privacy concerns. Blocking the number is recommended to mitigate disturbances.

I just had a call from this number, and it was quite peculiar. No one seemed to be on the line when I answered, but there was this odd noise as if they were attempting to make another call while I was still connected! Quite baffling, really.

When I quickly realized that the number 01206573531, which had called me, was from the BT 8500 Advanced Call Blocker (it only rang once), they abruptly ended the call. Every time I attempted to dial them back (as it was a local number with the 01206 code), their line was constantly engaged. Resorting to using the call return service (1471), I tried to determine who had called.

I recently received a phone call from this particular number. Upon answering, I greeted the caller on multiple occasions, but there was merely background noise from what sounded like a typical office environment. No one responded, and eventually, they hung up the call abruptly. It is imperative to put an end to such individuals' activities.

Giving these individuals a chance would help alleviate the unemployment situation. If cold calling were to be abandoned, thousands of people could potentially lose their jobs. It's worth considering that individuals who rely on social benefits would face penalties and endure financial hardships if they decline a job opportunity involving cold calling. Let's show compassion and give these individuals an opportunity to improve their circumstances.

I received a rather unexpected call from a lady named Pipa representing First Energy. She inquired whether I was the homeowner and under the age of 70, which struck me as quite peculiar. To my astonishment, she claimed she was reaching out based on my request about a solar energy promotion they were offering. When I probed for the source of her information, she sounded a tad flustered and abruptly hung up on me. Just like what others have mentioned in their posts, my number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service and is also ex-directory. The caller’s number was 01206 573531, and yes, it was indeed First Energy on the line.

Received a call from someone wanting to chat with the HOMEOWNER. I initiated the conversation by requesting their identity. They identified themselves as 1st Energy from Colchester. Curious, I probed for their specific address, to which they replied with a vague reference to being near Yates Bar. I insisted on getting the full address along with a postcode, but was met with confusion; she claimed she didn’t have that information and proceeded to recite her scripted pitch. When I inquired how they obtained my number, she mentioned the UK database. I reminded her that I was registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and was also ex-directory, to which she apologetically promised to remove my details. Attempting to escalate my concerns to a manager only led to me being abruptly disconnected. Not at all shocking, really. - Caller: Lola from 1st Energy, Colchester.

Earlier today, a call was received from a certain number inquiring if I was the homeowner. Soon after, they proceeded to give a speech about solar panels. As soon as I interjected, stating my belief that cold calling is now prohibited, the person on the line responded by saying, "No, darling." Without allowing them to continue, I promptly informed them not to address me as darling and ended the call. I intend to report this incident to the ICO.

I didn't really allow them the opportunity to reveal what they were peddling. All I can say is that they had an accent that didn't sound local and inquired about speaking with the owner of the property. It's baffling how they managed to obtain this number, especially since it’s designated as a business line. The number they rang from was (01206) 573531.

Today, I received a call from a number that gave off the impression of a bustling office environment. It was apparent that the young lady, who I assumed to be the caller, was engaged in an intriguing discussion with a coworker. Intrigued myself, I decided to join in and commented on how interesting their conversation sounded. I asked a few questions like "Do you actually think so?" However, much to my surprise, she abruptly hung up without uttering a single word to me, the very person she had dialed.

Picked up the phone on my office landline around half past three and was greeted by what can only be described as a cacophony of unintelligible shouting and fits of laughter.

I've been inundated with calls from this number (01206573531), and it's becoming increasingly irritating. It's from an energy company based in Colchester. Despite attempting various blocking methods, they still manage to slip through. If you do end up speaking with them, they're persistently rude, so I highly advise steering clear of any dialogue whatsoever. - caller: First Energy

I’ve just had a rather annoying call from some right numpties. A woman named "Holly" claimed to represent a firm called First/1st Energy based in Colchester. Mind you, we're on the ex-directory list and registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so I’ll be lodging a complaint with the ICO about this outfit - caller ID: First Energy.

Received a couple of calls from this number today. I missed the initial attempt, but since I was anticipating a call from a Colchester area code, I decided to return the call-only to be met with silence. Later on, they tried reaching me again while I was preparing dinner. I managed to hear a snippet of their message, but their accent made it difficult to understand, so I ended the call right away. Honestly, I’m just fed up with these interruptions! Even though I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I feel inundated with unwanted calls. Most of the time, we just let the answer phone handle it to avoid the hassle. It’s disheartening how ineffective TPS seems to be, and finding an appropriate contact to lodge a complaint is next to impossible. The so-called Data Protection Act and privacy regulations are a joke! Our details seem to be readily available to anyone, which is alarming, especially with all the scammers out there. - caller: 01206 573531

Just now, someone called our landline and my 4-year-old picked up the call. Lately, he has developed a liking for answering the phone and always puts it on speaker. They asked him if he was the homeowner, to which he replied quite loudly, "I am 4!" Suddenly, the person on the other end started swearing and yelled, "Don't shout in my ear! No need to shout at me, you idiot!" By the time I snatched the phone from my child, they had already hung up. I tried calling back, but all I got was a busy tone. I'm really angry! Whoever these people are, something needs to be done to stop them!

One can't help but ponder why they even bother making the call, can they? Honestly, who in their right mind would entertain this daft outfit? It's a right botheration, to be sure. If their staff had any sense of decency, they'd steer well clear of such a place. Given the number of folks with Narcissistic Personality Disorder eager to set up shop, it’s hardly a surprise, really. When the founder lacks integrity, it’s no wonder the whole organisation is riddled with incompetence. That seems to be the only way they can sustain their so-called company culture. - caller: 01206 573531

I received a call from this number on a public holiday, specifically a Bank Holiday Monday. Thankfully, I own the latest BT 8500 Telephones. Since the caller did not introduce themselves, they were unsuccessful in reaching me, although they did manage to disturb my sleep, which was quite frustrating. However, I have added them to my blocked list now, so they will not be able to reach me anymore. Interestingly, as I am writing this, they have attempted to call me again. I highly recommend that everyone invest in these latest phones - they are definitely worth the money. With these phones, all it takes is one call for them to be automatically blocked.

I got a call from this number recently. When they inquired for the owner of the house, I responded with a cheerful “that’s me”. They proceeded to provide their company name and contact number, which I noted down. I then took the opportunity to inform them, “Cheers, but I’m on the TPS register, so I’ll be forwarding your information to them as you risk a fine for this.” The response I received was rather rude-a rather ungracious “piss off!” was their reply! - Caller: 01206 573531
