Got a call from a number that looked like it was from Cheltenham. They were trying to sell me something and wanted info, but I didn’t give anything away. Claimed they were on the TPS. Ended the call pretty quick. Think I'll just wait if they try again since I’ve had calls like this before.

I got a call from a nice sounding young bloke about loft insulation. Funny thing is, I’d had a call just the day before from a woman about the exact same thing, which at first seemed legit. But then I looked up the company online and got suspicious. The woman told me someone would be nearby the next day and gave me a couple of appointment slots, but I told her I wasn’t really up for it. Oddly enough, today’s call came from a Cheltenham number and sounded quite genuine. Bit of a strange situation, really.

Got a call with no one saying a word, ended it myself after about 10 seconds.

Some bloke named Harry rang me up, claiming my loft insulation was made of fibreglass and only lasted five years! He wanted to offer me a free loft check. I told him I thought he was talking rubbish and asked for his phone number, but he wouldn't give it. I also told him I was on the do-not-call list, but he didn't seem to care, insisting it wasn't a sales call. If this number pops up for you, just hang up immediately.

Got a call from some random number I didn't recognise. Completely unknown caller, no idea who it was.

This number’s called me four times now. The first three, no sound at all, just dead silence. Today, I finally got a woman on the line claiming to be from an energy company asking about loft insulation they supposedly did last year. I told her I wasn’t aware of any and mentioned my mum’s place - but she just kept insisting someone local had it done and asked if they could come round. I tried telling her I’m sorting out my mum’s house to put it on the market, but she wasn’t listening. Then she just ended the call. Really annoying.

Had a couple of calls come through yesterday, both ended up getting blocked by my call screening. That pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

This guy rang me and started yelling “wakes wakes” straight away. I tried to see who was calling, but he just hung up on me after. Weird behaviour!

This number has called me twice in just two days, and both times they left no voicemail. I ignored it yesterday since I almost never answer if I don’t know who’s calling. After seeing the first comment about it when I looked it up, I didn’t bother answering today either. Thought I’d just put my bit here for anyone else wondering!

Received a cold call not just at my house, but also at my elderly mum’s place. I’m signed up to TPS, but she isn’t. They claimed it was a “courtesy call” about some loft insulation we supposedly got recently. Pretty clear they were just fishing through a Cheltenham phone directory, trying to take advantage.

Got a call from a Cheltenham number but no clue who it was since they didn’t leave any message. Pretty sure it was just a cold call.

I got a call from a home efficiency firm, and the young guy on the line was really polite. As soon as I mentioned I’m on the TPS, he quickly said sorry and promised to take me off their contact list.
