01268859679 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01268859679 👆 is reported as a nuisance number linked to persistent scam calls related to solar panels, home improvements, windows, and driveway offers, often involving misleading or automated messages. Callers frequently disconnect when answerphones activate or when challenged, suggesting fraudulent intent. The number has been associated with cold calling despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), and it employs tactics such as ghost routing and frequent use of new numbers to bypass blocks. Many users describe it as a time-wasting, intrusive, and suspicious operation with no legitimate business identification. Blocking is strongly advised, and complaints to authorities such as Trading Standards may be warranted due to ongoing harassment and potential criminal activity.

Got a call from 01268 859679 and asked straight away if it was a robot. They said no, but then just kept going on about solar panels, even though I told them we have them already. They tried ringing me again a few days later, but I’d already put them on my block list. Total scammers!

I just ignored the call since they left no voicemail, so it mustn’t have been anything urgent!

Got a call today from what they said was our neighbourhood solar company. They claimed to be just over a hundred miles away, which isn’t exactly next door, but I guess close enough? Seemed like their goal was just to pick on our solar setup even though it's doing just fine.

I got a call from 01268859679 and it turned out to be a scam, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

I've gotten two calls from this number already, both times no voicemail left. The caller ID shows it’s coming from outside the UK but it seems to be routed through a Basildon number at first glance. Feels like some kind of ghost call routing trick.

This bloke phoned me again, talking about doors and windows. He kept rambling on about some "energy company" but it all sounded a bit dodgy. I tried to get his phone number but he wouldn't give it. When I asked him more, he just said, "have a good day" and hung up. He said his name was Sam or something like that.

Someone called saying they were John from a solar firm. He asked if I owned the place, and as soon as I told him it belonged to a housing association (which isn’t true, but great for dodging sales calls!), he just hung up right away.

A chap purporting to be from "The Driveway Centre" contacted me. It’s clear as day this is nothing but a dodgy scam.

I got two calls today from the same number, supposedly about renewable energy. The first bloke said his name was Alex and mentioned some company that sounded like Solar Project Centre or something close to that. Later on, a second guy named John rang back from Telepro, even though I told the first chap I’m on the TPS. Both of them claimed they found my contact in this so-called Renewable Energy Database, but I’ve got no clue what that is. Pretty annoying since I’m registered to not be bothered with these calls.

I've been inundated with calls, and they even leave voicemails on my answering machine. Apparently, they're peddling solar panels.

Got a call from what said it was a home improvement firm. When I told them to erase my info from their records, they just cut off. Definitely felt like a scam or one of those spam calls.

Got another one of those no-sound calls from these idiots again. I've blocked maybe 10 or more different numbers of theirs, but they just keep ringing from fresh ones and dropping off as soon as the answerphone picks up. I'm honestly thinking about reporting them to the police or trading standards because it’s really dodgy how much effort they put into these weird calls. What exactly do they even do? Only one director shows up in the records and I can’t find any staff linked to them at all. Feels super fishy to me.

They were so cheeky, acting like they worked for a solar panel firm when they really didn't. Proper rude!

I've just received a call from this number, and I have to say it was completely unwelcome and utterly unfamiliar. After a bit of digging, I tried ringing it back using 1471 to conceal my own number, but all I got was an endless ringing tone, which makes me suspect it might be one of those automated marketing systems. I strongly suggest you consider blocking this number.
3 years
Got a call from this number earlier today but ended it straight away since no one was speaking. I checked the number on Google after using 1471. To be safe, I disconnected the phone for a few hours because I reckon these calls are just to see if the line is actually working. Usually, after such silent robocalls, a real person tries to get through. Seems like the automated system marks live numbers, even if you hang up, so the callers know which ones to call back.

This call came through from some firm that deals with home repairs, specifically windows. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have picked up if it wasn’t for being curious. Definitely feels like one of those dodgy scams to me.

Just got a message on my answerphone from a 01268 number, which I found out is from Basildon. The message was really odd and didn’t make much sense. After seeing what others said about similar calls, I’m pretty sure it’s one of those scam things.
