Phone number ☎️ 01244557272 👆 is reported as a nuisance number frequently associated with scam calls claiming to be from energy advisors or contractors related to loft insulation surveys and government grants. Callers often pressure recipients for access or personal information, sometimes seeking control of computers. Many users report abrupt hang-ups, silence, or evasive behaviour when questioned.

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.

No answer, must be one of those auto dialler things.

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 missed the call earlier today cos I couldn’t get to the phone quick enough, and it just ended straight away. Had a quick look at the number afterwards and saw quite a few other people had issues with it too.

Even tho I’m on the TPS list, I still get calls from Chris about renewable energy stuff. Really annoying!

I looked up this number and checked out what others said. Seems like it’s linked to a scam, especially around the Isle of Wight area. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it, marked it as a nuisance caller on my phone now.

Got a call from someone saying they were returning my call about insulation for the roof. I never called them, so I just ended the call straight away. Sick of these random calls, especially since I’m registered with the TPS.

Mathew rings me like two times a week, always claims he’s from some firm in Nottingham. He’s always on about a government scheme, something to do with loft work or condensation from a previous job they supposedly did? Wants to organise another survey, but I keep telling him I’m not interested. Every time I refuse, he just ends the call, only to call back again later. Feels like one of those scams folks on the Isle of Wight keep warning about.

It’s really unsettling to get those mystery calls, especially when the line just cuts out as soon as you pick up. Glad to see I’m not the only one dealing with this, reading others’ experiences helps a bit.

Got a call from a bloke named Chris claiming to be from some London energy firm, talking about loft insulation - which was kinda pointless since I’m up here in Scotland. Honestly, the whole thing was just confusing and didn’t add up, so I’d just recommend ignoring calls like this altogether.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from a local energy company. My missus picked up and he immediately asked if she was the homeowner. She asked how he even got our number and who gave it to him. Seemed suspicious, then he just hung up on her. We've blocked the number now!
