I've signed up with the Telephone Preference Service and my number is unlisted, yet these nuisance callers keep ringing me daily. It's rather annoying, isn't it?

They referred to themselves as the Insulation Survey Centre, but honestly, they're just a bunch of swindlers! Absolutely infuriating...

Got a missed call from this number earlier. I checked it out and apparently it’s linked to some bloke named Matthew running a Loft Insulation scam. Funny thing is, just yesterday we had a call from 01202080114 from someone with the same story, supposedly Matthew. Both numbers have been blocked straight away now.

Looks like it's that old loft insulation con again. He’s called me on three separate numbers already: 01608531007, 01304797305, and 01227943010. My phone shows no number, so I can’t block him straight away, but I managed to find out who it was by dialling 1471. Bit annoying!

I tried answering but the line had so much echo it was impossible to make out what was being said. The only word that came through clearly was 'property'. Got the number from 1471 and decided to block it straight away.

Got a call yesterday from someone in Bournemouth talking about loft insulation. Just to say, I've got a brand new home and it sounded like one of those scams. Watch out for it!

Got a call from someone claiming to be my local energy advisor. They said there might be damp in the walls but no need to stress, they could fix it. Also mentioned it’s been ages since the loft was checked and offered to organise it. Just hung up straight away.

As soon as I pick up and the answerphone starts, they just cut off the call.

I didn’t pick up, it just rang out and went to voicemail but they didn’t say anything.

About five minutes ago I got a call from someone named Chris, talking about loft insulation! Thing is, my place is a commercial building and I don’t even have a loft. Looks like another scam to me. Be careful and don’t give out any info, definitely keep your address and details to yourself.
Chris

Never heard of this area code, so I usually just let it ring and then hang up. It buzzed about 6 times before cutting off. Sounds like a sales call or something like that. Looks like the other folks commenting were spot on. I'm based in Bournemouth myself.

I got two calls from someone named Mathew about the insulation I had done. Not planning on picking up if he rings again.

I don’t pick up any calls from numbers I don’t recognise, they all just go straight to voicemail. If it’s someone important, they usually leave a message. This number just rang and then hung up, so it’s probably one of those scams.

I called 01608531007 once but as soon as my answerphone picked up, they just hung up straight away. Bit weird, really.

Got a call from 01608531007 today, some bloke pretending to be "your local energy advisor". It’s the same old story, really. My advice? Just ignore it or if you pick up, don't say anything and they’ll probably just drop the call. Best not to waste your time at all.

They tried an energy fraud thing, sounded pretty legit at first. Could easily fool someone not paying attention.

Got a call from someone saying they’d done loft insulation here, but I’m pretty sure it’s never been done at my place. Bit confusing, to be honest.

The call ended up going to my voicemail without a word, so I assume it’s yet another dodgy number. I've gone ahead and blocked them!

Got a call from some bloke named Matthew, same insulation scam as before, but he's ringing me from a new number now. This is the second time he's done this.

I received a rather peculiar call from someone claiming that I had benefit from a local council scheme for loft insulation a few years back and that there could be damp issues in my loft. The information was completely off the mark, so when he proposed to come over to conduct a damp inspection, I politely refused. After realising he wasn’t getting anywhere, he promptly ended the call. He had a very polished way of speaking, making it easy for someone less sceptical to believe his ruse.

01608531007 called me a few times and I never picked up since I dont usually answer unknown numbers. It kept ringing until my voicemail picked up but no message was left. From what I've read in other reviews about this number, seems like I dodged a possible scam or some telesales hassle. Pretty sure I did the right thing ignoring it.
5 years
Nothing but a waste of time. I just got another call and no one answered again. There really has to be a way to put an end to this. Starting to get properly annoyed now.

It went straight to voicemail and no one said a word, probably just another dodgy scam caller.

I didn’t get a chance to say anything when I picked up - the call just cut off. When I attempted to ring back, the number was unreachable. I would definitely classify this as a potential scam or spam.

Received a call at precisely 9:46 this morning on the 7th of July, 2022. I greeted them with a 'Hello', but there was no reply on the other end. They abruptly ended the call after a mere five seconds.

I just received a call from a bot named "Matthew" regarding a survey on my insulation. It's rather annoying, as I've been bombarded with this same call every day for the past week. Quite tiresome, if you ask me!

Received a call on the 7th of July at 10:07, rambling on about loft insulation funded by the government and how it’s related to condensation issues. I hung up as soon as I realised we don’t have any of that so-called "government-funded" insulation. No point in sticking around to see what they were planning to peddle to me!

I've had two phone calls from this number over the past couple of days, yet each time I pick up, there's nothing but silence on the other end. Quite baffling, really!

I had a rather amusing encounter regarding loft insulation! It seems there's some sort of automated system at play that triggers responses based on your input. They’ve got this cheeky way of verifying your age range, getting it all wrong by assuming you’re between 50 and 80. Obviously, that’s far from the truth for me, which completely throws their responses off track! 😂

I've just received a call of a similar nature regarding an inspection of the insulation in my loft.

I received a call regarding loft insulation from someone named "Matthew." When I inquired about their location, there was a rather noticeable silence, which led me to end the conversation. It’s likely to be either a nuisance call or an outright scam.

I received a call from a bloke named Chris who was inquiring about some loft insulation that I have yet to install. It was evident that he hadn't the slightest clue about my situation, and to add to it, I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, which I neglected to mention at the time. Clearly, this is not a reputable company reaching out!

The best approach to safeguard ourselves from these idiots is to treat every phone call or email as a potential scam, unless you've specifically asked the company for information. It's quite interesting, really- the sheer volume of scams seems to tarnish their reputation collectively. Stay vigilant, everyone!

Received a call with no sound on the other end. They disconnected as soon as I picked up.

It might be a good idea to organise an energy assessment. "It's been ages since anyone took a look at my loft."
