Got a call from a woman with an Aussie accent, she was pressing me to find out who owns the house. Felt a bit off, like she was fishing for info. Definitely seems a bit dodgy to me.

Loads of calls coming through from some bloke named Chris, says he's an energy advisor from around here. He keeps interrupting and then passes you on to someone else to book a meeting. I've asked them to quit calling, but in under an hour, they rang me three times from numbers starting 0121 285 followed by different digits at the end. Told the guy to cut the harassment but he just ignores it. I've blocked all the numbers so far, though I’m pretty sure it won’t stop the calls.

Loads of calls keep coming from numbers starting 0121 285, but the last four digits change each time. They’re always about energy savings, but even when I say I’m not interested in a nice way, they won’t stop talking till I hang up. Now I just block any 0121 285 calls straight away and cut the call off.

So I blocked a number ending in 5183 after checking this website yesterday, and today I got a call from a very similar number ending 5174 - definitely the same scammers. I reckon it’s Scottish Power leaking my info after I switched my energy supplier. I’ve got a whole bunch of over 30 numbers like these that all have similar bad reviews on here. I’ve already put in a complaint to the Energy Ombudsman about it!

Got a call from the same number just now, I never pick up calls from unknowns. I let it ring out and block straightaway. There should be stricter laws and harsher penalties for these annoying scam calls that just waste our time. Such rude people.

0121 28505174 and 0121 285 5309 are just a few of the loads of numbers they ring from! They claim they're your energy supplier for your area, but when I ask them what my postcode is, they just hang up on me! It's actually quite funny - surely lying like that is against the law?! They even say they've been told I'm the homeowner?? This lot need to be stopped and not allowed to cold call anyone anymore!!!

I've picked up this call a few times now and it's always some guy called Chris, claiming to be an energy advisor for my postcode. But whenever I ask him which exact area he's talking about, he just dodges the question and keeps pushing his sales pitch. If I press him more, he just ends the call abruptly.

They say they are from the energy company and want you to apply for loft insulation grants. They keep switching their phone numbers, so you only pick up after blocking the previous one.

I picked up my work phone and it gave me a warning that it was likely spam. I stayed quiet for a bit, then a bloke called Chris said he was an energy advisor for my area. I told him it was a work line and asked him not to call back. Definitely felt like a spam call.

Picked up 'cause it didn’t say it was spam and I used to live in Birmingham so didn’t think much of it. Some bloke was talking about energy and said it showed I was the owner of the house, then asked if that was right. I told him to mind his own business and hung up straight away!

Sounds to me like this is some kind of AI just fishing for info. When you hit 2 to chat with a real person, it just loops you back to the same AI, not a real agent. Feels dodgy, like they’re trying to scam people by collecting data to sell on to other scammers. The AI claims it's an energy advice service. But if you search the number online, you’d expect plenty of legit results with a proper address and all that, right? Nope, nothing like that shows up. I’d say steer clear, don’t give out any info, and just hang up straight away.

Got a call from some life insurance firm, sounded like a scam. The bloke on the phone was Indian and wouldn’t back down even after I told him I’d recently signed up for a policy and wasn’t interested in switching. Then he insisted on talking to my husband, like I was clueless or something. I just ended the call right there.

He claimed to be from the local energy company. I tried asking which company exactly he was with but he just kept going on about insulation. I had to stop him and ask once more where he was calling from, and then he just hung up. Pretty sure it was a scam.

Got a call from this Indian bloke claiming he wasn’t actually selling anything, just trying to explain why some life insurance policies are rubbish. When I told him I didn’t want any life insurance because I already sorted my funeral plans, he just dived straight off the call. Strange one, really.
