01234416284 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01234416284 👆 is reported as a persistent scam caller impersonating a local energy advisor named "Chris," frequently contacting residents with scripted offers related to loft insulation and alleged government grants. The calls are unsolicited, often from spoofed or changing numbers, and continue despite numbers being on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or blocked. Callers quickly hang up or become abusive when questioned and fail to provide legitimate company details. Users advise not answering unknown calls, never returning calls to suspicious numbers, and strongly recommend reporting all such scam attempts to the police fraud reporting system (Action Fraud) to aid enforcement efforts. The repeated nature of these calls and aggressive tactics suggest a coordinated attempt to gather personal information or extract money, particularly targeting vulnerable individuals.

Been getting calls almost daily from this number, sometimes even twice a day, for the last week. Lately, I've noticed different numbers popping up, all claiming to be ‘Chris - your local energy advisor’. Was home today but ignored it, since usually only spam or scam calls come through while the kids are at school, even though I’m on the TPS and unlisted. When my answerphone kicked in, the caller just hung up, so I figured it was a waste of time. Seems like it's all the same scam pretending to be different people. I've blocked them now.

This number has been calling me pretty much daily, sometimes even twice a day over the last week. I’ve had quite a few calls from different numbers all claiming to be 'Chris - your neighbourhood energy advisor'. Got one today but ignored it, cos I only get dodgy calls during school hours despite being ex-directory and signed up to the TPS. When my voicemail kicked in, they just hung up, so I’m pretty sure it’s just another scam. I’ve blocked them now.

Got a call today (09 Feb 2023) from a recorded voicemail pretending it's from a "Bank". It said there were two dodgy transactions on my card adding up to more than £2,000. They wanted me to press 1 to speak to someone about it. I just ended the call straightaway, but this feels a bit different from the usual scams I've heard about before.

Today 08/02/2023, I got a call from a bloke asking if I owned the house. He said he was doing loft insulation checks nearby and wanted to know if I’d used any government grants in the past decade. It sounded like he was just reading off a script. After a bit, I managed to cut him off and told him pretty firmly to jog on. Honestly, watch out, these lot are just after your cash!

I received a call from a chap named “Chris” who wanted me to verify whether I own “the property.” Naturally, I inquired about which property he was talking about, to which he replied, “brilliant, that aligns with our records.” Hold on a minute, Chris, that's not the question I posed. Tell me, in which area is this property you’re so confident about? At that point, he clearly got flustered and started rambling on with his pre-prepared spiel. When I pointed out that he was dodging my questions and merely talking over me, he abruptly hung up. It absolutely reeked of a scam.

Like many others here, I got a bloke on the line talking about some energy deal for your loft. He read out some script and kept going until I gave him a reply, then he hung up straight away. Seemed like one of those pre-recorded calls to me, definitely felt dodgy. They mentioned government energy programmes and a survey or something, but honestly, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Would watch out for these scams.

They keep ringing loads of times but hang up before I can pick up.. calls always come through between 3 and 5:30 in the afternoon. My 9 year old has a phone just for emergencies since they get scared walking about, and now they're feeling pretty unsettled and like someone's watching them. Everytime I block one number, a different sketchy caller shows up with a new one. Pretty sure they’re just getting a fresh phone number each time.
