Got a call from 01226818726 earlier, but my phone didn’t ring since it blocks possible scam calls, so I only noticed it tonight. I’ve now blocked and removed the number. Bet they’re using plenty of others too. Fingers crossed my phone keeps quiet from them. These scammers must be cashing in big time off folks who are easy targets. BE CAREFUL AND WATCH OUT FOR THEM.

I got a call from the number 01226 818 726 earlier today. The person said they were from a local energy firm and wanted to chat about insulation for my home since apparently, I’m a homeowner. I didn’t correct them about me renting, just let them go on for a bit. But whenever I tried to speak, they just talked over me and wouldn’t let me get a word in. Felt very dodgy, like one of those scam calls, maybe even done by some AI bot.

Got a short voicemail from someone saying they were the local energy advisor but didn’t say much else. Kinda made me think of words like "cow" and "waste," if you get my drift.

Nobody answered, really pointless to call. Seems like whoever was supposed to be there wasn't doing anything at all. Total waste of my time.

My phone flagged the number as a nuisance, so I decided not to pick up. It went straight to voicemail, but just like the usual scam calls, there was no message left and they just hung up.

I kept telling the person on the phone that we’ve signed up with the TPS, but they just didn’t stop and kept talking over me like some kind of recorded message.

Got a call from this number earlier, didn’t answer like before and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail. Looks like another spam call just like others mentioned here.

Once more, "James," who claims to be an energy advisor from around here, is ringing me up! Can't believe it’s happening AGAIN!

There was no sound on the line, which made me think it might be one of those spam calls. We stayed quiet to see if they’d say anything, but they just ended the call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be an energy advisor, talking about checking loft insulation or something like that. Sounded a bit dodgy to me. Definitely felt like a scam trying to get me to sign up for something I didn’t need. Be careful with these calls!

Got a call around 2.52pm today from a young bloke saying he was an energy advisor for my area. I told him straight away to just get our info from the database and ended the call. Knowing how it usually goes, I’m pretty sure he’ll just ignore that like they always do.

I didn’t pick up, the number was unfamiliar to me.

I picked up the phone and there was just silence on the other end, not a single word. It felt like a clear violation of telecommunications regulations. They should be hit with hefty fines for stuff like this.

Got a voicemail about a possible refund for a car I bought, but I missed the call. No idea who it was though.

Got a call on my work number from someone called James, saying something about energy deals nearby. Turns out it was just an automated scam, so I’ve gone and blocked the number already.

01226 818726 Got this number ringing on my home phone and it was marked as a nuisance call, so I just put it on the block straight away. The area code is from Barnsley, but since I have no mates or contacts there, I reckon it’s just one of those scam calls. They probably use VoIP tech, which means you can’t really pinpoint the exact location of the call, so watch out for it.

Someone rang me yesterday and a real person said, 'can you hear me?' Once I answered, it suddenly changed to a taped message from 'Jake, your local energy expert'. Pretty sure it’s a scam without a doubt.

Got a call from some guy named James claiming to be from a local energy company. He sounded normal enough at first, but he rang the front desk at my workplace. When I told him that, he just brushed it off with a 'no worries' and carried on with some scripted spiel about me owning a house and needing new windows. I ended the call pretty quick - pretty certain it was some sort of AI scam.

Got a call from some automated voice going on about energy stuff. Tried blocking it, but they keep ringing from different numbers. Proper annoying!

Got a nuisance call from some robot, so I just hung up. There was a really long pause after it said “hello can you hear me” before it spoke again, which obviously showed it was some spam bot.

The guy claimed he worked in accident claims, but as soon as I asked for his name, he just ended the call.

I got a call from someone claiming to be Hasseem, said he was from the housing department. He quickly asked if there was any mould or cracks at the place, then hung up before I could even reply. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

I got a call from the number 01226 818741. Seems like it might be a fresh number since I couldn’t find it on here. Didn’t pick up, but a lady left a voicemail about solar panels, which I'm not interested in at all. If you're the caller, please stop bothering me.

I kept getting calls from this number and it was clearly a scam, really annoying how they just wouldn’t stop ringing. Best to just not pick up at all.

This bloke kept pushing me to say how old my windows were, going on about them being more than 10 years old and not very well insulated. He was super annoying and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I wasn’t expecting the call at all. After a while, I just told him to sod off and bother someone else - I couldn’t deal with his nonsense anymore.

They keep ringing me up loads, but whenever I’ve bothered to pick up, there’s nothing but silence at the other end. Nowadays, I just let it go to voicemail. Every single time they call, I’ve been reporting it to 7726.

Wasn’t able to pick up in time, but after reading the comments I decided not to return the call. Like others have said, if it was really important they’d have left a voicemail.

Just had a go at reporting this but it didn’t seem to work. It was some sort of recorded message but you could interact with it. The replies to my questions weren’t really on point though. A woman’s voice talking about loft insulation checks.

The phone kept ringing but when I answered nothing was said. I chose not to pick up so it just went to voicemail and there was no message left. Quite strange!

Today, I've had two calls from someone pretending to be an energy advisor, this latest one coming from a Barnsley area code, 01226 - 818726. Once I told the woman on the line that I’m sick of these constant annoying calls and that I’m not buying any of their stories, she hung up straight away. Makes me think about who’s behind these dodgy schemes, not to mention the bunch who claim to be with bank security. Honestly, a curse on them all! These calls are seriously dodgy and unsafe.

Got a call from this number but no message was left, which makes me think it's just spam. Seems like it might be part of a series of numbers that all do the same thing. If it had been legit, they probably would've left a voicemail so you'd know who was ringing. Ignored it and won't bother picking up these types of calls again.

Sure, this bloke calls himself James and says he’s some kind of energy advisor. Yeah, as if!

Somebody called saying they were an energy consultant from nearby, but I’m not convinced they actually were.

I reckon this might be one of those AI calls - sounded exactly like those energy saving ones I keep getting. Someone told me not to say much 'cause they can record your voice and use it for dodgy stuff. So I just made some noise instead of talking. The replies I got made it seem like I’d actually said something proper, which just confirms my AI suspicion. At least it ended with a nice goodbye, so that was something!

Got a call from some so-called “local energy advisor” but I’m way over in Kent and they said Barnsley on the line. Didn’t bother leaving a voicemail when I didn’t pick up. What’s really weird though, is when I tried to check the number on who.called.uk, it popped up in the search bar before I even typed anything! How on earth does that site know what I’m gonna look for before I even search it? Proper sketchy if you ask me.
