It was some ridiculous time early in the morning when the phone rang. Luckily, my phone flagged it as a possible scam, so I just ignored it.

Claiming to be conducting a survey for the homes in Cheltenham, they attempted to fish for my personal details. When I countered by asking for my own address, they abruptly disconnected the call!

I didn’t pick up and they didn’t leave any message.

Received a pre-recorded message about loft insulation, which seems rather dodgy. Chances are it’s a scam.

What a relentless chap! This "Dan" was all about those government grant schemes for cavity wall insulation. He claimed he was checking if I was eligible for such funding. I can’t stress enough-stay clear of this fellow! He seemed more keen on pulling a fast one than actually helping!

I picked up the phone but the caller just dropped the call right away.

I picked up and said hi, but there was silence on the other end before they just ended the call. Probably some telemarketer or another nuisance call.

My answering machine picked this up but there was no voicemail left. Because the area code matched mine, I thought it might be someone I know but I didn't recognise the number. I phoned back using a different phone and got a recorded message from "digital research" saying it was a survey and they'd call me again later. No chance of that now though, as I've blocked the number.

I didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail, so I’m thinking it was probably a scam.

Got a call from someone named Dan claiming to be from a government list about cavity wall insulation. I asked him to tell me my address, and he just ended the call straight away.

Just like others have mentioned, I received a call from someone named "Dan." He waffled on about some database run by the government and claimed my house was susceptible to dampness. When I inquired about my address, he abruptly disconnected the line.

The landline just rang, but we never pick up. Given our history with nuisance calls and being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, we don't give out this number at all. Just did a 1471 to see who it was, and this number came up. It's baffling how these scammers manage to get hold of our information. It's incredibly frustrating!

Oh, it's Dan once more! He certainly had his patter down to a tee. When I probed a bit about this so-called "survey company," he abruptly cut the line. Quite the fascinating character, I'd say!

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Virgin Media's security team. They warned me that my internet might be disconnected because of some supposedly fraudulent activity linked to my connection. Quite concerning, to say the least!

I answered the call with a quick hello, but nobody responded, so I just ended the call.

I kind of nervously answered the phone and as soon as I said hello, the call just dropped. So, I went ahead and blocked that number straight away.

"Got a ring from a chap named Dan about some government grants for cavity wall insulation. Absolute drivel, if you ask me."

I received a couple of phone calls regarding home insulation, but I decided to hang up since I hadn't requested any such information. The calls came through on the 1st and 7th of June.

I received an unexpected phone call claiming to be from Cheltenham, but don't be fooled - it’s definitely a scam!

A chap named Dan rang me up regarding insulation. It seems like Dan might just be the insulation con artist!

I encountered a rather similar situation. The chap acted as if I’d initiated a request and promptly launched into his sales spiel. Then he had the audacity to ask me to verify the spelling of my last name... Well played, Dan, but not quite convincing!

I've received multiple calls from a chap named Dan regarding a government scheme for insulation. To be honest, I've never reached out to anyone about this initiative, so I'm beginning to suspect that it could be a scam. It's quite unsettling, to say the least.

A chap by the name of Dan rang me up, claiming he was returning my call regarding cavity wall insulation. I informed him I hadn’t discussed anything about it with anyone nor had any work done. Weirdly, he just ended the call abruptly after that.

Had a right dodgy encounter with a bloke named Dan who rang me up claiming he needed to inspect my cavity wall insulation. The kicker? He had no idea where I lived! Absolute rubbish, if you ask me.

I received a call on my landline at precisely 16:32 on the 7th of June, 2021. The line was silent initially, followed by a faint click before it abruptly disconnected. It’s quite apparent that it was part of a mass automated dialing operation trying to ensnare an unsuspecting recipient. I'm really thankful to everyone who's flagged this number as probably being linked to a home insulation con job. It’s clear that the culprits have little regard for the Telephone Preference Service rules.

Cheers for sharing your experience here! I’m based in the 01242 region and had a stroke of luck when this number abruptly ended the call on me. I never imagined that my area code could be linked to a dodgy number. Your insight has definitely brought this to my attention - much appreciated!

I recognised the voice of the individual who rang up; he’s tried to con me a couple of times previously with a different ruse, as covered in the Bracknell News.
