Didn’t leave any voicemail so I just put them straight on the block list.

Got a call on 29/04 at about 12:21, but didn’t get any message on my voicemail.

So they started off with “Hello, is this Mr ______?” throwing out random names, which usually ends up with a wrong number reply. Seems like a sneaky way to check if the person they want is actually in. I reckon these lot work for some debt collection agency or something!

Definitely a scam, don’t trust it.

This number keeps ringing, and it’s honestly getting really annoying. Can they just stop bothering us already?

They rang me when I wasn't home and didn't bother to leave any message. Honestly, what’s the point with these folks? They’d do everyone a favour if they just vanished and never came back.

This service doesn't adhere to TPS regulations and is also falling short of GDPR standards. The Information Commissioner's Office seems to be utterly inactive.

Grants 4 Homes appears to be a scam. They’re not adhering to TPS regulations and clearly have no regard for GDPR standards either.

This lady didn’t seem to get what a Company Number actually is and insisted it wasn’t a scam at all. Definitely not following TPS rules, and I doubt it meets GDPR standards either.

I received a call from a woman representing Grants4Homes. It seems there are countless complaints swirling about this company involved in energy sales. What measures is the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) taking in response to this situation?

Got a ring from Grants4homes, a lady’s voice on the line. Me: Did I give you permission to call me? Caller: Umm... no, I guess not. Me: So this is one of those unwanted calls then? Caller: Yeah, I suppose it is. Me: Right, thanks. Goodbye!

I got a call asking if I was Mrs Daniel’s, I told them no and they just said wrong number and hung up. This has happened to me a couple of times already, like 2 or 3 times before.

Got a call trying to sell me free loft insulation. I ended the call straight away, but they called back instantly. I hung up once more and they called again right away. After a few rounds and me giving them a proper earful, they finally stopped bothering me.

Got a call but missed it, no voicemail left behind. I've noticed when the phone buzzes 6 times then suddenly stops ringin, it's usually someone trying to scam.

Had a call from someone wanting to chat about loft insulation. I don’t bother with cold callers. You can easily check out all the details about Government programmes on the internet yourself.

So, this number called me but I didn't pick up since there was no caller ID. They didn’t bother to leave a voicemail or anything. Pretty sure it’s a scam, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number.

On 21/11/23 around 2pm, I got a call where the person was asking for my wife using her maiden name - bit odd if you ask me. The woman called Sheila, spoke with a proper English accent and said she was ringing from Grants for Homes. I just cut the call off and blocked the number straight away. Apparently this same number had rung me on 16/11/23 and 20/11/23 too, but they hung up without saying anything.

I’ve got a call blocking app installed, and when I received that message asking if I wanted to take the call, my phone just shut down completely.
3 years
The caller introduced herself as Sheila and inquired about an individual who hasn’t lived at this address for over fifteen years. She brought up some sort of home grants, yet when I pressed for clarification on the relentless calls, she abruptly hung up. Quite a curious encounter, to say the least!

Every time I attempt to return the call, I’m met with silence-no ringing at all. It feels like I’ve stumbled upon a complete con.

Got a call from a company claiming to do loft insulation and saying they’ve got government approval or grants. They then gave me a different phone number to call back on and mentioned a site called www.greendealcentre.co.uk. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.

Someone rang me up the other day and somehow already knew my name. At first, I assumed it was a call I was meant to take. Then she started going on about heating systems and home insulation or something like that. The minute I said I wasn’t interested, she just cut me off straight away. Still trying to figure out how she managed to get hold of my name!
3 years
Grants 4 Homes mentioned that they were offering insulation free of charge through a government scheme. However, they then claimed that a surveyor would ring on a specified date, but you could only cancel the appointment by phoning a premium rate number. Quite the hassle, if you ask me!

Had a really polite woman ring me about some government loft insulation scheme. I asked her how she was sure I even had a loft, and she replied, “That’s why we ask questions like that.” I told her, “No, you just called up and offered it without asking first!” She went quiet for a moment, then I told her, “I actually live in a flat.” She chuckled and then ended the call.

I've come across several warnings about this number being linked to scams or fraudulent activity on various reporting platforms. It seems to be commonly associated with dodgy schemes related to energy services, heating, or solar panel installations, among other things.

They've rang me loads, and I've been checking out stuff about insulation and solar panels recently, but I have no clue how they got my phone from that. I've put the number on block now, and they never bother leaving a voicemail.

They keep ringing me up about insulation stuff, but whenever I pick up, I just start talking in Welsh like I don’t get what they’re saying. After a bit, they get annoyed and just put the phone down! It’s pretty funny how quick they give up.

Had a lady ring me up asking if Mrs so-and-so was there, the name sounded really odd. I told her no, then she asked, "Well, who is it then?" I replied that there’s no one by that name at my place and never has been. She said sorry and then asked if this was the W - I area. I confirmed it was. After that, she said her name was Christine and she was calling about a home improvement scheme. At that point, I just ended the call. Just a heads up, this kind of wrong number call might be dodgy, so don’t give out any personal info if you get calls like that.
