This "Energy Trust" lot have rung me up twice just this week. I told 'em to stop as I never gave permission for them to call. They said I must have signed up somewhere which is how they got my number and told me to sign up to TPS. I’m already signed up with TPS. I’m going to report this number to the ONS.

Got a local ring about some boiler replacement offer. Told them we've just had a new boiler put in a couple of years back. The person said sorry for bothering me and promised to take my number off their list so they wouldn’t bother me again. No pushiness or fuss, really polite and nice. Didn’t seem like a dodgy call, just a polite business trying their luck (fingers crossed no more calls).

It was one of those boiler upgrade calls. The woman on the line was quite courteous, at least.

I received a pair of phone calls from this particular number. I decided to pick up the second one, and the caller mentioned something about me missing out on a complimentary boiler offer. I told him I'd done my research on the number and discovered it had been marked as a potential scam. He insisted it was all above board, but I didn’t stick around to hear any more of his spiel.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, ignored it and they didn’t even bother to leave a message. So I’ve just gone ahead and blocked it. Reading other people’s comments, seems like these calls are just a pain. Honestly, it’s best to block these kinds of numbers as soon as possible.

Got a cold call about cavity wall insulation. Problem is, our house doesn’t have any cavity walls. This numpty called us once before too. I just hung up straight away. I’ve flagged the number as dodgy because I reckon they’re up to no good, probably trying to swindle money with lies.

They claimed to be ringing about cavity wall insulation which we never had. I kept asking how they got my details, and they said it was on a letterbox, then admitted they were fibbing and laughed it off, pushing their sales spiel again. I asked once more where they got my number from, saying it was against GDPR and I’d report them to the ICO, then he just said he was hanging up!

I've received numerous calls from this number, mostly during the early hours. They brought up cavity wall insulation, but as soon as I mentioned I wasn't the homeowner, they became quite rude.

Got a call on our landline from a bloke at 7:09pm on 18th July 2019. My wife answered and said we were fine and then ended the call. He rang back a minute later at 7:10pm and started threatening to keep ringing until I told him about the condition of my cavity wall insulation, which he claimed he'd already classified. He warned us not to hang up or some automated system would keep ringing us nonstop. Had to block the number straight away.

I received five calls on my mobile from this number, but I chose not to pick up. Eventually, I blocked it. However, it got quite eerie when that very same number rang my landline. How on earth did they manage that? I decided to answer two of the calls, but to my surprise, there was complete silence on the other end. Having browsed through this site, I've gathered some valuable insights. Now I'm wondering if I can also block this number on my landline as well.

Houseguard claimed that the National Energy Database shows we’ve already got cavity wall insulation in our home. They said they weren’t trying to sell anything, just offering free damp inspections, but it’s obvious they’ll push some kind of fix after “discovering” damp that isn’t even there!

Received a call from this number earlier today. Not recognising it, I decided to block it immediately as my phone's been inundated with pesky calls lately. However, later on, I realised it had a Chester area code, which happens to be where a distant relative of mine resides, someone I haven’t been in touch with for quite some time. Curiosity got the better of me, so I dialled the number back. When a chap answered, I inquired about the reason for his call. He mentioned he wanted to discuss the cavity wall insulation I had arranged several years back. Naturally, I was curious where he was situated, and he replied Bournemouth! I couldn't help but question why he was using a Chester code, to which he fumbled a response about computer-generated calls. That was enough for me, so I disconnected the call!

The person sounded quite polite but it was clearly a scam. They mentioned some kind of government programme that I was meant to know about. I ended the call fairly quick and made sure to block the number.
