I've come to the conclusion that this number is nothing but a nuisance. I'm quite concerned that every time the phone is answered, there's a likely scam at play.

Got a call from them saying I’d filed for PPI back in 2017 and they supposedly approved me for £3500. Then they tried to get my date of birth. Pretty obvious it’s a scam, so best to just ignore their calls.

I received a rather unwelcome call from someone claiming to be representing a governmental initiative regarding the replacement of central heating systems. Quite the nuisance, I must say!

Got a call claiming I’d got £3500 from some PPI thing, they asked for my bank info but when I said to send it through PayPal they said no, they don’t do that. Pretty sure it’s a scam as I never even bothered with any PPI claims before.

Got a call about winning £3500 from some PPI thing, they wanted my bank details but asked me to send it through PayPal. I told them that’s not how it works since they don’t actually do PayPal. Pretty obvious it’s a scam, I’ve never even tried claiming any PPI!

They were talking rubbish about some life insurance scam, totally not true stuff. It was just nonsense about how these scams work. Honestly, it's annoying hearing this kind of rubbish being spread around.

They rang me twice in one day but refused to identify themselves when my call blocker kicked in, so I've made the decision to block them now.

They got my name completely wrong - definite scam!

I've registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet I keep receiving calls from various numbers. The callers only chat for a brief moment, expecting me to ring them back. It’s quite frustrating, really!

Received a call from a foreign-sounding individual, and I couldn't make heads or tails of what they were saying. Seems rather dodgy to me, so I've decided to block the number outright. Better safe than sorry!

Just had some rubbish call from an energy advisor, total waste of time.

Got a call earlier from someone with an Asian accent claiming there’s a free boiler and insulation deal going on. Yeah, not interested. Just wish these so-called ‘free boiler’ offers would stop interrupting when I’m busy sorting out care stuff for my sick, very old mum.

Got another annoying call, so I’m just gonna block the number.

This morning I got two calls from this number, but when I rang them back it said the number wasn’t in service or something like that.

Some bloke rang up about my boiler, but since I don’t have one, I just ended the call straight away.
5 years
I just picked up and they cut the call right away.

This is the second time I've gotten a call like this today, and it's really getting on my nerves since I'm trying to get some work done at home. Having to keep stopping what I'm doing to answer the phone is just a massive waste of time.

My call blocker intercepted the call. They failed to introduce themselves, hence my phone remained silent.

Received a rather dubious call today regarding a government initiative to swap out central heating systems! I made it clear that I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list and shouldn’t be receiving such calls. 🛑

I've lost track of the number of calls from this number. They constantly inquire about someone who has never resided at my address, and it's becoming rather tiresome. There was a brief pause in their persistence, but they’ve resumed ringing me. Maybe they get a kick out of being told to shove off?
5 years
I attempted to return the call, but it won’t go through. Certainly seems like yet another nuisance.
