I keep getting annoying calls all the time. It’s really frustrating and just pointless.

I received a call from a gentleman with a bit of an accent, requesting me to complete a brief survey regarding loft insulation.

I've come across a dodgy scheme linked to loft insulation. These con artists were going on about conducting surveys for loft insulation and offering grants. I'd strongly advise you to steer clear of them!

The call ended abruptly every single time I picked up.

I got a call from someone claiming to be BT, but the line was so poor I could barely understand them. They were trying to offer some kind of discount, which was weird since BT doesn’t even provide our service!

Been getting loads of missed calls from different numbers this past week, none of them bothered to say who they were or leave a message. Luckily, my home phones have that BT call guardian thing on, so none of these dodgy calls got through. Honestly, it’s a relief having that feature.

Have no idea who it could be. They didn’t leave any voicemail either. That number with 01608 doesn’t ring any bells for me, and I can’t say I know anyone or any business using it.

Yeah, it's Matthew again, looks like he shifted outta Bournemouth. I doubt it's some kind of insulation scam though. Tried ringing the number and this recorded voice says you were contacted today for some kind of survey, and if you wanna stop getting calls just press 1. Of course it's a pricey number, probably making them a fair bit of cash. Why doesn’t anyone try to sort this out?

I usually don't pick up strange numbers but one time I did and there was this hold before a guy came on saying something about gov't insulation in our attic. Had no clue what he was rambling on about so I just ended the call.

I got a call from a bloke who seemed to know all about the homeowners here. When I asked him where he got his info from, he just suddenly ended the call. Proper odd.

Someone named Matthew rang me about insulating my loft. I recall getting similar calls from Bournemouth before, so it seems he may have shifted to a different part of the country now.

Some bloke who said his name was Matthew rang me back about loft insulation we supposedly had fitted recently. I heard him out and then asked which company he was representing. He refused to say. I then questioned where he got our private number from and pointed out we don’t have any loft or insulation here, plus we’re on the TPS register. After that, he just ended the call.

Got a call from some bloke named Matthew about loft insulation, which I don’t have a clue about. He insisted he’d got the correct number, but he obviously didn’t. Felt like a total scam to me.

A bloke who said his name was Chris rang me claiming to be from the electricity company, saying he had to come and collect something from my house. Before he could finish, I told him he was clearly a scammer and told him to get lost, then I hung up straight away!

Got a call about some mould in loft insulation that apparently I’m responsible for. I told the bloke to try and guess what job I do (loft insulation, by the way). After a while of him stumbling through his script and me teasing him to either show some proof or take a wild guess, the line just went dead. Definitely not the right address for them. Best add 01608531008 to your block list, or if you’re feeling cheeky, have a bit of fun with their calls.

They keep ringing me up about loft insulation. Claims to be calling from London, yet the number shows as Bournemouth code. Today’s caller had a Chipping Norton area code. Blocking them is pointless since they keep switching numbers. Honestly, just tell them to jog on!

This number rang me but dropped the call right when my voicemail started, so I reckon it’s one of those scam calls. I usually let unknown numbers go to answerphone first - legit people’ll leave a message, but scammers often just hang up straight away. Had a few dodgy calls before, so now I always check this way.
