01218278706 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number βοΈ 01218278706 π is reported as a persistent nuisance likely involved in a scam related to government energy efficiency grants, specifically alleging free boiler replacements under the ECO scheme. Callers frequently hang up immediately or remain silent, leaving no messages, causing significant irritation and suspicion among recipients. The number appears to spoof local Birmingham codes but uses non-existent ones to mislead. Many users advise blocking the number, noting it is unprofessional and unsolicited. While the genuine ECO scheme exists, this caller is not affiliated officially, often employing recorded messages prompting recipients to press a button. Multiple identical positive reviews raise doubt on authenticity, likely attempts to distort the numberβs reputation. Users recommend caution, verifying any offers through official channels, and reporting unwanted calls to relevant authorities.
Reports on phone number 01218278706
5 yearsI noticed that when I answered 01218278706, the call just dropped, seems like a lot of people had the same experience.5 yearsHmm, not sure about that one...5 yearsI was outside in the garden when they called, no voicemail left. Feels like it might be a scam.5 yearsI chose not to pick up as I was unsure about the caller's number.5 yearsReceived a call just now from a number that showed up as Call Guardian. No one said who they were or left any message. Feels like a scam to me.5 yearsNo one leaves a message, just dead silence on my voicemail.5 yearsI received a call from 01218278706 on the 24th of May, 2021, at around 1:42 PM. The caller ended the call abruptly without saying a word.5 yearsI got a call from 01218278706 on May 24, 2021, around 1:42 pm. As soon as I picked up, they just ended the call straight away.5 yearsReceived a call from 01218278706 on May 24th, 2021, at about ten to two in the afternoon. The caller ended the call abruptly without saying anything.5 yearsIt keeps calling all the time but when I answer, there’s never any noise or words. No clue who it is.5 yearsThere was no voicemail left, but after reading the comments here, it seems a bit sketchy, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.5 yearsThe moment I picked up, the call was ended instantly. Seems like someone logged the call but didn't bother doing the job they're supposed to.5 yearsJust got back and saw I'd missed a call from a Birmingham number with a business voicemail, but nothing from this one. The number looked fishy, started with '827' which seems dodgy. Why even bother ringing if you're not gonna leave a message? Feels pretty sketchy to me. I've blocked the number now since they just seem like timewasters.5 yearsJust gave you a ring, waiting for you to pick up!5 yearsTwice today my phone rang just two times and then went silent, really irritating. I’ve ended up blocking that number now.5 yearsI had a missed call where they didn't bother leaving a message...5 yearsI got two calls from this number super close together, but both times it just stopped ringing after a second or two, way before I could pick up. Got a feeling it might be some sort of scam linked to one of those supposed government programs, but honestly, my place doesn't even qualify for that new ECO deal they're always talking about. Just another one of those irritating and unwanted interruptions in my day.5 yearsSo, what's ECO about? It stands for the Energy Company Obligation and it's a UK government initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency, cutting down carbon emissions, and helping those struggling with fuel bills. The programme kicked off back in April 2013 but has seen several updates since then. The newest version, called ECO3, started on 3rd December 2018 and covers projects finished from 1st October 2018 onwards. If you're curious about what exactly changed last time, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has a neat summary on their site.Great BritainDepartment for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy5 yearsI answered but there was nobody there.5 yearsHad another dodgy call today from some no-name firm claiming to be government endorsed, this time offering boiler replacements. Seriously, don’t fall for it, they’re total blaggers. If they were legit, they’d have a proper marketing approach, not just cold call like this. Just block them straight away.5 yearsJust got three rings and then it stopped. Seems a bit dodgy to me. I went ahead and blocked the number cause there’s loads of scams going around lately.5 yearsPhone buzzed then they just dropped the call.5 yearsI just heard something about ECO-3.5 yearsI answered and the person just cut the call straight away - if this was a proper company, why would they do that? It seems pretty unprofessional at the very least. With all the scams flying about recently, it definitely made me wary. Just be careful out there.5 yearsAnswered the phone and all I got was a dial tone, pretty annoying if you ask me. I really don't think it's from a legit source.5 yearsI picked up straight away but the phone just went dead on me straight away. Could it really be some government office? Doesn’t seem likely.5 yearsLucky me I didn’t pick up that call, eh?5 yearsAlright, cheers!5 yearsMy phone's call blocker stopped a call at 11:46 on Friday, and since there was no voicemail, I'm guessing it wasn't any legit company.5 yearsThe government runs a scheme called ECO which aims to improve energy efficiency in homes across the UK. The current version of this programme especially concentrates on helping those on lower incomes and people who might be more at risk. It’s all about making sure the homes of the most vulnerable get better insulation and energy-saving upgrades.ECOUK5 yearsI saw loads of bad reviews here so decided to look up ECO3 for myself, turns out it’s actually a genuine Government programme. ECO means Energy Company Obligation. If you head over to Which.co.uk, then check out Home Improvements and Home Grants sections, there’s plenty of info explaining it all.Which. co. uk5 yearsJust received a call with nothing said on the other end.5 yearsGot a call from ECO-3 about a free boiler, sounded alls posh like some government lot. Pretty sus if you ask me.5 yearsLoads of folks in Pakistan seem to have checked this number out. Honestly, that '827' code pretending to be from Birmingham is dodgy as heck. No doubt about it, this has scam written all over it!PakistanBirmingham5 yearsCalled by someone claiming to be from a government agency about my boiler. Asked if anyone here got benefits, with loads of chatter from what sounded like a call centre in the background. Needless to say, I’ve blocked the number now.5 yearsJust a heads up, there isn’t any .827 code registered in Birmingham whatsoever. Don’t trust it, it’s definitely a dodgy number!Birmingham5 yearsGot a recorded call saying there’s some kind of Govt grant for replacing your central heating boiler, and if someone in the house gets benefits, you might be eligible. Sounds legit maybe, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a heating company fishing for leads so they can send a rep round. Bit dodgy if you ask me.5 yearsI picked up and the person just ended the call right away.5 yearsThis fool 'green post three hours ago' mentioned some government grant. But why the heck would they be calling Pakistan? Surely that's way too far just to offer a government grant!Pakistan5 yearsIt looks like a government grant, so I guess it should be alright for us.5 yearsPretty good, not bad at all!5 yearsI just noticed I missed a call.5 yearsJust finished my UFI, really happy with how it turned out.5 yearsGot a call from EC-3 about a boiler, and it was one of those press 1 IVR things β‘EC5 yearsGot a missed call, no one spoke when I rang back.5 yearsGot a call about some boiler scam, which is weird cause my number is on the TPS list. I only give it to family and never use it for banks, insurance or anything like that. So how are these lot getting hold of it? Proper annoying!Telephone Preference Service5 yearsGot a call from a woman with a recorded message about some free boiler upgrade from the government. I know there are green initiatives out there but I highly doubt the government would be ringing people up like this to advertise them.5 yearsGot a call where no one said a word, just silent. Bit creepy tbh.5 yearsIf they claim to be legit, just ask for their Gas Safe registration ID (it’s what used to be the CORGI number). Then you can look them up on the Gas Safe site to be sure they’re proper. I keep getting annoying calls from them at all sorts of hours, even when I get back from work and check my missed calls. It’s pretty frustrating!Gas Safe5 yearsThey didn’t pick up.5 yearsTotally feels like a rip-off to me.5 yearsI just ignored the call and now they've been blocked.5 yearsNever pick up if this number rings you, I promise you, they'll try to scam you out of money. Stay alert and watch out!5 yearsBeware of this one, it's a classic boiler scam.5 yearsNice job, well done! πππππ5 yearsBeware, the people behind this number are leaving fake positive reviews just to mess with the safety score. Don’t trust the “neutral” ratings you see - it’s definitely a scam. Also, the “827” code isn’t even a thing in Birmingham area codes, so don’t fall for it!BirminghamUK5 yearsI'm based in Birmingham and I can confirm that 0121 is definitely the correct area code here. But the '827' bit after it? That doesn’t ring any bells and I’m pretty sure it’s not a real Birmingham number. Sounds like these are fraudsters pretending to be local, trying to pull a fast one selling fake boilers. I’ve seen some messages here from them boasting about boilers in homes that don’t even exist - total nonsense! Best steer clear of these lot completely, they're just up to no good.Birmingham5 yearsHaha, I’m sure no one’s falling for these poorly written fake reviews! Maybe try switching up the words a bit next time, or maybe that’s why some of these jokers can’t land a proper job. I swear, it’s obvious they’re scammers.Scammer Patel5 yearsThanks to these folks, I got my CWI, UFI, and Boiler certifications done without paying a penny. Really appreciate their help!5 yearsBig thanks to the lads at ECO-3 - just had a new boiler fitted. Cheers!5 yearsWe got a call from this number but they didn’t leave any voicemail. With all the scams going around lately, I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of scam. Better to be cautious with these calls.5 yearsI’m not sure if this number’s been 'spoofed' or something. Pretty sure Birmingham doesn’t use the 827 area code.Birmingham5 yearsConstant calls from some eco grant folks at really odd times, and honestly, they’re not wanted at all.5 yearsI got a ring from that number while I was out and about. They didn't leave any sort of message, so I'd wager it was just another one of those pesky cold calls.5 yearsMy phone blocker managed to catch this one. When I returned the call, they started chatting about government eco funding and stuff. The next time they rang, I got some American voice message saying the number was disconnected. Also, be wary - there are loads of similar reviews on this site from folks with Indian or Pakistani names, which seems a bit dodgy and could easily be fake reviews by whoever’s behind this number!5 yearsThey keep ringing me over and over at all hours. Even when I just ignore the calls, they don’t seem to take the hint.5 yearsI'm Ravinder Kaur. Recently got my boiler fitted through the ECO-3 Grant, thanks to these folks. They did a proper good job, nothing dodgy about it. Really appreciate their help, cheers! :-)RavinderKaur5 yearsReally pleased to have the chance to collaborate with such decent folks :-)5 yearsI’m Balvinder Singh, and I recently got a new boiler fitted through the ECO-3 Grant thanks to these folks. They did a proper job, no dodgy stuff going on here. Really appreciate the support. Cheers! :)Balvinder Singh5 yearsNice one! It was great having a chat with you.5 yearsHey, I'm Alex. I recently got a new boiler fitted through the ECO-3 Grant and these folks were a big help throughout the process. They do decent work and I can say this isn't some kind of scam. Really appreciate the support from their side :-)Alex5 yearsGot a call from a woman’s voice about some Government Eco Scheme. Seemed legit, definitely not a scammer.5 yearsI picked up and just hung up straight away. What’s weird is checking the reviews - within just 12 minutes, 4 folks left positive comments all using the exact same words. Makes you wonder if it’s some kind of trick, right?5 yearsIf youre looking to get your boiler fitted under the ECO-3 scheme, I’d suggest reaching out to them directly. They’re quite helpful and can guide you through the process. Cheers, Aisha Kumar.Aisha Kumar5 yearsI'm Imran Ali. I recently had a boiler fitted through the ECO-3 Grant, and these folks helped me out. They're proper trustworthy, not a con at all. Big thanks for the support! :)Imran Ali5 yearsPicked up the call and heard nothing but silence, which was pretty frustrating. Used 1471 to check the number afterwards, and a recorded message said it was related to a boiler scam. Since I’m on the TPS list, I’m planning to report this to Ofcom and the ICO - honestly, they should get a proper fine for this.Telephone Preference ServiceOfcomInformation Commissioner ' s Office5 yearsGot a call from 0121 827 8706 with a robotic voice saying I could qualify for a replacement boiler. They asked me to hit '1' if I wanted further details.5 yearsHad some dodgy number ringing me again, just a scammer trying to waste my time. Sorted it by blocking straight away.5 yearsNo answer when I picked up, so I just ended the call - another spam one for sure!5 yearsThe phone rang and then just stopped, no voicemail or anything, so I’m guessing it was one of those automatic dialler calls.5 yearsGot a call but no voicemail or anything - do you think it was one of those auto-dialers?5 yearsNot surprised, got scammed once more!5 yearsI just got a robo call from 01218278706 about some Government Eco Scheme grants.
