Phone number ☎️ 01438940827 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving repeated calls from individuals claiming to be energy advisors or officials from services like the Telephone Preference Service. Callers often use various names and numbers, frequently disconnecting when questioned or confronted. Common tactics include referencing loft insulation or account irregularities to engage targets, sometimes resulting in harassing behaviour. Many recipients note suspicious, poor-quality calls with no clear identification or messages left. Despite being registered with official do-not-call lists, users report ongoing disturbances. The consensus recommends remaining cautious, avoiding sharing personal details, blocking these numbers, and reporting them to relevant authorities. Such calls appear to be coordinated scams exploiting plausible pretexts to solicit personal information or instil urgency.
Reports on phone number 01438940827
5 yearsGot a call from 01438940827 today, but the guy didn’t say who he was. He said he was calling from the telephone preference service, which I found odd because I’m already on their list. Told him that, so I shouldn’t be getting calls like this, and also that TPS don’t just ring people out of the blue. Ended up having the same chat with the same bloke three separate times this morning, very strange!TPSTelephone Preference Service5 yearsI got a call from someone who said they were with the Telephone Preference Service but wouldn't say their name. I told them we’re already on the TPS list, so I shouldn’t be getting any calls like that, plus I know they don’t just ring you out of the blue. Funny thing is, the same bloke called me 3 times this morning, and we had the exact same chat each time!TPSTelephone Preference Service5 yearsThey actually called me by my name and kept insisting it was me on the line. When I said he must have got the wrong number and he was ringing a pizza place, he just ended the call right away!5 yearsI received a voicemail regarding a warrant, suggesting there were some dubious activities linked to my supposed Amazon account. Apparently, he's trying to hit me with a charge of around £1,000 from the bank associated with it. The thing is, I've never even had an Amazon account! What a farce!Amazon5 yearsJust got a call at like 10:59 yesterday, must’ve been the third time matthew’s been ringing from different numbers. Told him to stop calling me but he just carried on yakking. Total waste of time, I ended up hanging up on him. Seems like a dodgy bloke, proper annoying and maybe even risky. Be careful folks!Matthew5 yearsLuckily for the caller, I wasn't in when they tried reaching me. If I had been home and answered the phone, I would have given a good blast on my trusty whistle, which I keep right by the phone, straight into the receiver before slamming down the handset!5 yearsGot two calls from this number today. I usually let unknown numbers go to voicemail to check who’s calling first. The first time, the caller just hung up straight away. The next call claimed to be from a local energy advisor but ended up hanging up on me as well. Seems like the same dodgy scam I’ve noticed coming from loads of 1202 and 01608 numbers. Since I’m signed up with the telephone preference service, I shouldn’t be getting these calls at all. I’m definitely reporting every number these scammers try to use - they really need to be caught and stopped.5 yearsthis guy called me asking how i spell my name which was weird cos if they really had my info they wouldnt need to ask. i told him that and he said his manager would ring me back in about an hour. i then tried to find out what address they had for me but he couldn’t tell me. honestly i’m not sure what to make of this, felt fishy so rating it as unknown for now.Matthew5 yearsI picked up the call but there was this weird gap of silence before anyone actually spoke, so I decided to just end the call.5 yearsMy landline rang but I didn’t answer it and they never left me any message.5 yearsGot two calls not long ago from someone claiming there was some loft lagging done, said his name was Matthew or something. As soon as I told him I had no clue what he was on about, he just ended the call.Matthew5 yearsGot a call from some guy called Chris claiming to be my local energy advisor. Told him straight away I’m not interested since I’ve had about three calls already. Been blocking loads of numbers from places like Bournemouth and Stevenage ever since. Such a pain.ChrisReadingBournemouthStevenage5 yearsThe call was terrible, so I just hung up straight away.5 yearsThe call quality was awful, and it sounded like some kind of glitchy recording. I’m on the TPS list, so they really shouldn’t be contacting me. I've gone ahead and filed a complaint with the ICO about it.Information Commissioner ' s Office5 yearsGot a call from someone who said his name was “Chris” and claimed to be an energy advisor with some company called Southern Green Energy or something like that. He started going on about my insulation being rubbish and offered a free check today, or something along those lines. Honestly, I wasn’t really bothered listening properly and just told him no thanks, then ended the call. Sounds dodgy to me, probably some kind of scam.ChrisSouthern Green Energy5 yearsAs soon as I picked up the call, they jumped right in with a spiel about wall insulation, and when I inquired about their identity, they promptly hung up.5 yearsI received a call from someone who said they were an 'energy consultant', but when I inquired whether we had actually requested such a call, they abruptly hung up. This certainly raises my suspicions-could be a scammer at work!5 yearsI happened to be out this morning, the 8th of July, when that number rang me. Should they decide to ring again, I've got my classic comeback prepared and waiting!5 yearsIt appears that there's someone out there dialling numbers just for a bit of a giggle. I didn’t bother picking up the call at all.5 yearsPersistent nuisance caller; best not to engage or just block and flag them.5 yearsRang me twice within a quarter of an hour this morning but didn’t bother to leave a message. I refuse to pick up calls from numbers I don't recognise.5 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming they wanted to assess the loft insulation that had supposedly been put in not long ago. I've been residing here for over 15 years, and the insulation was already in place before I settled in. I inquired about the installation date, and without a word, they just disconnected. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!5 yearsIt appears they claim to be local energy assessors and are under the impression that you own your home. The reality is, they haven't a clue about your ownership status. Occasionally, they might just get lucky if the individual on the other end responds affirmatively, saying, "Yes, that's me!"5 yearsI had my first experience chatting about saving 50% on insurance for appliances. I thought, why not? But I ended up providing them with a fictitious sort code and account number. They asked me to repeat it a few times, yet somehow, it all seemed to go through without a hitch. Now I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting for the paperwork to arrive. Then, during the second call, they mentioned I could snag a 40% discount on my double glazing insurance. I nodded along, but when they inquired about my bank details, I again handed over a fabricated sort code and account number. I fumbled about with the numbers, having to repeat myself countless times, but after a good quarter of an hour, I realised I was simply wasting her time. We ended up in a little standoff, both of us hesitant to be the first to hang up. In the end, I was the one to concede. Being retired, these amusing interactions add a bit of spice to my day!5 yearsThis guy - Chris, Matthew or whatever name he’s using - switches his phone number constantly, like every couple of days. It’s so obvious it’s a total scam.ChrisMatthewSubmit Your Own Report (01438 940827)
