Reports on phone number 01242312458
1 monthThis number belongs to James who deals with loft insulation. Wouldn't recommend answering, just block it.2 monthsFound out the insulation in my loft was causing mould all over the place, so it had to be swapped out. They told me it was part of some government initiative or something like that.2 monthsThese lot keep ringing us over and over, total scam artists. They always switch up their phone number, sometimes even using an 020 code. We’re on the TPS list but they just don’t care at all. Best thing to do is block and don’t answer.2 monthsTwice in just four days, I’ve had this bloke ring me up asking if I owned the house. Both times I just hung up. The calls were coming from Cheltenham, not sure what they wanted.2 monthsLet the answerphone take the call, didn’t bother picking up. Had a few beers while waiting, then the call just dropped.2 monthsGot a call on our home phone from some bloke trying to sell loft insulation, asking if we owned the house. When I asked how they got our digits since we’re ex-directory and on the TPS list, he just brushed it off and said not to worry about it. I told him to jog on and hung up.2 monthsHad a call from someone pretending to be from my energy supplier, but it sounded really odd like a robot or something. Turns out it was some kind of scam trying to get my info using AI technology. Definitely dodgy and not to be trusted!2 monthsGot a call from a bloke asking if I could hear him, then he went quiet. Cheers to this site, because I was about to call back since the number had a Cheltenham area code, but I’m 30 miles away from there. Blocked it now.2 monthsThis bloke claimed to be some kind of local energy advisor. I asked if I was a homeowner, and when I said yes, he said it wasn’t their business. I just told him to buzz off.2 monthsGot a missed call, rang it back but it went straight to voicemail. No message was left, dunno who it was.2 monthsToday at 5:12pm, I noticed a call on my landline from a number that seemed a bit dodgy but oddly familiar: 01242 312458. It was Monday and a public holiday, so who’d be working and calling after 5pm on a bank holiday? The timing screamed “scam” to me, like they were trying real hard not to sound suspicious. These scam callers just want to catch people out, especially those who might be vulnerable. Luckily, I didn’t pick up and decided to look it up on here (WCM) before doing anything else.2 monthsThey just asked "Are you there?" then went completely quiet. I didn't wait around and blocked their number straight away.2 monthsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise on Bank Holiday Monday. They never dropped a message or anything.2 monthsGot a spam call on my landline, didn’t pick up, and now it’s blocked.2 monthsGot a call from a number and all they said was "Can you hear me?" I answered yes, but then they just hung up straight away.2 monthsGot a call from a guy named James who kept asking if I could hear him properly. He said he was ringing from some insulation firm based in London. It really came off like one of those robo-calls though. He’d ask questions then just stop, like waiting for me to answer or something. I didn’t bother with it, just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.2 monthsThe call always begins with "Can you hear me", and this automated voice has rung me up so many times. Even after I mention it's clearly a bot, it just keeps on going like I’m daft or something. Honestly, do they really expect us to fall for that?2 monthsI got a call from someone claiming to be Jane, said she was with the Solar Energy Authority. There was this weird pattern of questions with awkward silences in between like they wanted me to say something. I just ignored it and instead blasted a bit of an audiobook about World War II stuff. Eventually, Jane said one of their advisors would call back. Well, that sounds just great...2 monthsGot a call on my landline today, 4th May 2026, just after 5pm from 01242312458. Since my number's on the TPS list, I was wary and didn’t pick up - the timing felt odd, like one of those dodgy scam calls pretending to be legit. No voicemail left. Checked the number here and turns out it's a bunch of scammers using all sorts of tricks like pretending to be from banks, insurance, government schemes or even offering insulation deals. Complete nasty lot, really!2 monthsI got this call with a woman’s voice asking, "Hello, can you hear me?" I didn’t say anything and after a bit, the automated voice replied, "Thanks anyway, have a nice day." This has happened to me several times before.2 monthsGot a silent call from this number, no one spoke a word. I'm guessing it was probably one of those "local energy advisor" scams everyone's been talking about. Judging by the other comments, that looks about right. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.2 monthsGot a call supposedly from the Government about some energy help, but it was a total scam. They said I qualified for support because of where I live - don’t trust it!2 monthsDidn’t pick up the first time and after seeing what others said about this number, I’m quite happy I didn’t. They’ve called me three more times in just a couple days. If they ring once more, I won’t be so polite with my reply.2 monthsI got a ring from this number but chose not to pick up. Just a heads up - if they ask if you can hear them and you say YES, it might get recorded and used in some dodgy way. Be careful!2 monthsGot a call from this number earlier today, and a bloke with a British accent asked, "Can you hear me?" It was a man's voice. If you ever get called by this number, best to just stay silent and put the phone down straight away!2 monthsThey didn’t even bother to leave a message. I really don’t want to be bothered by these scam calls. Just thrown their number straight onto my blocked list.2 monthsI’m off the public phone list cos of all these annoying calls. So when I answered and stayed quiet, some bloke’s voice came through asking ‘can you hear me?’ Only mates and family have my number, so I snapped back with ‘who’s this?’ but he went quiet. I just hung up after that.2 monthsThis number just rang me, and all I caught was “Can you hear me?” I tried asking who it was, but there was no answer back. I ended the call straight away. Now I’m left thinking if it was a real person or just some kind of recording. Feels like they might’ve been copying bits of my own voice or something.2 monthsGot a call from a woman’s recorded voice asking about loft insulation. I stayed quiet and they just ended the call. Another bloody scammer trying their luck.Submit Your Own Report (01242 312458)
