3 monthsI got a call about some "free" solar panel check, but they wouldn’t say how they found my number. We’re on the TPS list, so there’s no way they got it the right way. They kept trying to find out if I owned the house or if I’d done a solar survey before, but I wouldn’t answer. After a bit, I just lost interest and ended the call.TPS3 monthsSo I picked up and some bloke said he was from the local energy company. I asked what he wanted but he just went quiet, so I ended the call. Honestly, I reckon it was probably some kind of scam.3 monthsMy BT Call Guardian picked up the call, but when I asked who it was, there was no reply. Also, any calls that begin with a robotic or pre-recorded message get automatically blocked by the Guardian.BT Call GuardianGuardian3 monthsI got a call claiming they were from London, offering a free survey for loft insulation.

Honestly, I’m thinking about ditching my landline altogether, since almost every call I get turns out to be a scam.4 monthsMy landline stopped the call straight away - clearly a scam. I've already put in a report 🛑🛑. I really think everyone should take a minute to report these numbers to the police or cyber crime through the Gov.UK site, or just text 7726 which is SPAM. If we don't report them, these scammers will just keep ringing until someone falls for it.GovUK4 monthsGot a call from someone named Jane about free solar panels.
