Got a call from someone saying they were from Openreach, wanted me to give them access to my laptop. I told them I'm no fool just because I'm elderly, and then she just ended the call.

A few moments ago, I received a rather surprising call from someone claiming to be "Chris, a local energy advisor," discussing government funding for loft insulation. Honestly, it had all the hallmarks of a dodgy scam!

Got a call from a bloke about loft insulation the other day. He was trying to set up an appointment and asked me a few questions. I mentioned I needed to check with my husband first, then he said he’d have his manager ring me back in about 20 minutes.

Ignored the voicemail. After seeing the other reviews, seems like another loft insulation rip-off. This is the second call I've had today. Blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from someone called Chris who claimed there was an issue with some loft insulation done through a government grant - which, honestly, they never even put in. They said they wanted to come back and carry out a survey, but I just hung up straight away. Smelled like a total scam to me.

I did a quick search for the number and came across some reviews. It turns out there's a scam alert regarding these sorts of calls over on the Isle of Wight. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number, labelling it a nuisance call for good measure.

Rang me up, purporting to be ‘responding to my call’ concerning roof insulation. I hadn’t even asked about it! I just hung up on him. I’m really fed up with these kinds of calls; they’re unsolicited and I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service.

I get a call from Mathew at least twice weekly; he claims to be with a company out of Nottingham. He keeps going on about some government scheme related to loft installations and mentions condensation issues from a previous job. Apparently, he wants to conduct yet another survey. This is just the same dreary scam that's been making the rounds here on the Isle of Wight. I've told him repeatedly that I'm not interested in any surveys, but he just hangs up only to ring me again later. It's quite infuriating!

The line went silent not long after I picked up. It's quite reassuring to see others sharing their experiences, though it's rather unsettling to get calls from unknown numbers.

I received a call from someone named Chris, claiming to be with an energy firm based in London, discussing loft insulation. However, it seemed utterly pointless since I reside in Scotland. The entire conversation was completely nonsensical, so I’d recommend just disregarding any calls from them.

I had an interesting encounter with a caller claiming to represent an energy consultancy when my wife picked up the phone. He immediately stated, “I take it you’re the homeowner here!” To which my wife retorted, “And who informed you of that? Where did you obtain my number?” After that, the chap abruptly hung up! We’ve now added that number to our block list!
