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!

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?

earlier today, a bloke named chris rang me up. he mentioned something about needing to check my home insulation, said i should be worried about it. but when i asked which company he was with, he just ended the call straight away. i'm from monmouthshire by the way.

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.

I received a call today from someone claiming to be from our local energy provider, wanting to confirm if I owned the house. What a nuisance-just another spam call! In fact, this makes it a staggering twelve calls I've had in the past couple of days, all from various numbers! It’s getting rather ridiculous, isn’t it?

Received a call from someone claiming to be from the electricity company, saying he needed to collect something from my property. He introduced himself as Chris. I quickly realised it was a con, so I told him to jog on and hung up!

Received a rather curious phone call about some alleged mould issues with loft insulation linked to me. I cheekily challenged the caller to figure out my profession, which happens to be loft insulation itself! As he fumbled through his scripted lines, the call mysteriously cut off after a few minutes of my gentle prodding. Clearly, they had the wrong person on the line. I'd advise everyone to add 01608531008 to your blocked numbers or, if you're feeling a bit mischievous, have some fun with them!

I keep getting persistent calls about loft insulation. They claim to be calling from London, yet the area code is clearly from Bournemouth. Today’s call came with a Chipping Norton area code. It's utterly pointless to keep blocking, as they just switch up the area codes. Honestly, I wish they would just take a hint and go away!

I received a call from someone identifying themselves as ‘Matthew’ regarding loft insulation. Is this a joke? Utterly deceitful individuals! I thought the Telephone Preference Service would offer some protection, but it seems they blatantly ignore such rules-or any rules, for that matter. What a shocker! It's just a bunch of crafty con artists.

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.
