1 monthGot a call about checking my solar panels, but when I tried calling back, it just said they couldn’t answer right now and to try again later. That’s when I figured it was probably a scam.3 monthsThis morning, I got a call from a lady talking about some "magic energy box" - total rubbish. When I asked where she found our landline number, she just hung up on me. I've also reported the number to 7726 to be on the safe side.8 monthsGot a call earlier from someone looking for a person who hasn't lived at this address for over 20 years. Ended up hanging up on him three different times.8 monthsGot a call about a "free solar panel check". I sat through his pitch, pointed out where he was wrong, then hung up. Minutes later, he rings again, calls me rude, and then starts blabbing my own address, saying some local expert will pop round tomorrow. Felt really intimidating, especially for someone older.8 monthsEven though I told him no, he wrapped up the chat by saying he’d be coming over to my place!11 monthsGot another random call from this firm named Trez. The person said they were with the maker of the inverter I'd fitted and wanted to confirm it was all functioning correctly. Since I recently swapped out my inverter, I asked which brand they had listed. He said Solar Edge. I told him that wasn’t right, it was different the last time too. Then he just ended the call right there. What a waste of time!TrezSolar Edge1 yearGot a call on 29/05/25 at 12:11 but no voicemail or anything left. Tried ringing back and a lady with an American accent answered, said her voicemail was full though. I’m on the TPS list and they just ignored that. Blocked the number now.Telephone Preference Service1 yearI've been getting nonstop calls from someone trying to sell me solar panel inspections. It's really annoying how often they keep ringing about the same thing.1 yearGot a call on 21/05/25 at 11:58 but they didn’t leave any voicemail. I rang back and spoke to a woman with an American accent who told me their voicemail was full. I've already signed up to the TPS but got no respect, so blocked the number now.1 yearThis number has been calling me loads, often a few times every month, even up to 4 or 5 times some months. I put it on block around six months ago tho.2 yearsToday, 12th Dec 2024, I got a call from this guy. I mentioned I already have someone handling my panels, but he just wouldn’t back off and started swearing at me. I ended the call, but he phoned me back 4 more times. Each time I picked up and hung up immediately - so he basically wasted 4 calls.2 yearsI got a call too from some company called Trez, something to do with solar panels. They were really pushy about coming round to inspect ours. I kept telling them they’ve already been looked at, but they wouldn’t take no for an answer.Trez2 yearsHe said he was with a solar panel company and told me about their products. I asked him to send all the info, including the company background and the maker they say they represent, by email. Wonder if I'll actually get anything from him...Solar Panel Inquiry2 yearsThey tried to sell my gran some dodgy solar panels, definitely a scam to trick old folks out of their money.2 yearsSo a mate of mine, Dave, apparently rang me before about checking some solar panels or something. He kept going on about how they needed to be checked for performance. I told him straight up I wasn’t having any of it. Then he started getting a bit stroppy and rude. He said they were local and would call back today, but I shut that down again, told him I wasn’t interested at all. He even said I was just repeating myself and wouldn’t listen to ‘no’. I told him he definitely would listen eventually and ended the call.Dave2 yearsJust like others have said before, they kept pushing to inspect my solar panels, claiming it was something the manufacturers insisted on. They even told me an engineer would be around my neighbourhood the next day. Totally rubbish. Bit sus if you ask me - feels either threatening or just plain annoying. Your call.2 yearsThis number kept calling nonstop, real pushy about checking out my system and then trying to flog me solar panels or a heat pump. Proper rude too, not someone I wanna deal with.2 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from the company that made my solar panels, saying I needed a free “performance check.” When I said no thanks, the guy turned quite rude and wouldn’t hang up. Felt a bit dodgy, so I just blocked the number. Not impressed at all. 🚫3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they'd send a bloke round to inspect my solar panels between 5 and 6 pm. But the sun had already set by then, so looking at the panels made no sense whatsoever. The guy claimed the ‘feed in tariff’ had requested a ‘maintenance check’. Bit suspicious if you ask me.3 yearsBest thing is just to block the number, don’t even pick up when it rings.Best3 yearsHad a call from this number yesterday but I didn’t pick up. They never left any voicemail either..3 yearsI hung up as soon as I picked up.3 yearstotally fake call, dont share any info with them!4 yearsReceived an unexpected call regarding "Solar Panel Services."Solar Panel Services4 yearsI told BT Call Guardian a name along the lines of Mitchell Trev, but as soon as I ignored the call and it went to voicemail, they just ended the call.BT Call GuardianMitchel4 yearsReceived an unexpected phone call from a company promoting "Solar Panel Services."Solar Panel Services4 yearsI looked up the number on your website since I didn’t know who it was. I ended up picking up when it rang.4 yearsI was thinking of popping round to have a look at those solar panels.4 yearsThey didn’t leave any message, so I’m just gonna block it.4 yearsWe got loads of calls from a guy called Mitchell with Trade Energy on 01268 744521, saying they were offering a free energy survey for our magic thermodynamic box since they'd be around the area. My partner went ahead and scheduled the survey. However, when I tried to cancel later, the phone just went straight to no answer. I checked their website and it looks like both Trade Energy and the survey company have actually been dissolved. Bit of a dodgy situation really.MitchellTrade Energy4 yearsGot a call earlier about checking my thermodynamic unit, they claimed the firm that installed it has shut down. I then rang the actual company, which is still running, and passed on the scammer’s number to them.5 yearsThe deadline has been mentioned again.5 yearsThey just called and ended it without leaving anything on my voicemail.5 yearsI ended the call as soon as their answerphone started playing.5 yearsEnded the call right before it could even go to voicemail.6 yearsReceived a call from 01268744521 this morning, completely out of the blue. I tend to steer clear of answering calls from numbers I don't recognise. Quite frustrating, to say the least!6 yearsI never picked up, and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything. If this is connected to the firm that installed my solar panels in the first place, steer well clear of them. Our panels actually blew right off the roof and caused a lot of damage. Marked as blocked now.6 yearsI got a call just like before, but this time they claimed the firm that put the panels in didn’t exist anymore. That’s total rubbish because I actually spoke to the original installers only a short while ago after getting a dodgy call just like this one. They’re just throwing out lies again.6 yearsGot a random call out of the blue, someone prying about our solar panels and if we get them checked or fixed, then they started asking for private details.
