01612430462 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612430462 👆 is reported as a nuisance and likely scam involving cold calls from individuals claiming to be local energy advisors offering free loft insulation checks or government funding. Callers often use well-spoken English, ignore Telephone Preference Service (TPS) registrations, and frequently hang up when challenged or asked for company details. Multiple calls have been noted from similar numbers, sometimes with delays or silence when answered. Recipients are advised not to engage, avoid returning calls, and block the numbers. The operation appears persistent and may target older or vulnerable homeowners with scripted messages about insulation inefficiency. Calls breach UK cold-calling regulations and should be reported to reduce harassment and protect consumers.

Got a call from a bloke with a proper posh English accent, sounded legit but turns out it's a scam. Might be a lass doing the same, still dodgy. They chat about insulation to try and con you. Best thing to do - just hang up and make sure the line's dead, don’t stay on the line. These cold calls are actually against the law here in the UK, so don’t fall for it!

Didn’t answer because I didn’t know the number and there wasn’t a voicemail. If it really matters, they’ll ring again.

This is the third time I've been rung by someone saying they're my local energy advisor. Sounds like the same person each call, makes me wonder if it's some kind of AI. I blocked the first couple of numbers, but they keep switching them up. The moment I said, "You’ve called me three times now," they just hung up. Pretty sure it’s a scam.

Got a phone call just before 8 in the morning from someone claiming that nearby homes had recent surveys done and that mine might have bad insulation causing damp and higher heating bills. They said because of my age, I might be entitled to full government funding to upgrade the loft insulation. When I questioned how he knew anything about my house or age, he kept cutting me off. Then I asked if they could ring back later as I was busy getting ready for work and doing the school run, and he just hung up on me. Felt like he was fishing for an elderly person to scam or something.

I ignored the call at first, let it ring through to my voicemail, and then after a bit, the caller just ended the call without saying anything.

Got a call from this number earlier, also from the South West area! Didn’t know the number so I just let it ring out. Blocked it now, no need for that.

They totally ignored the Telephone Preference Service. BT might have even tagged them as "nuisance"? I just let it ring through to my answerphone and then ended the call straight away.

Got a call from someone claiming I could cut my energy bills, but it felt like a total scam - they spoke like they were reading off a script with awkward pauses all the time. If you’ve got a blocklist, chuck their number on there. If not, just hang up and don’t bother!

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise, no voicemail left so I didn’t bother ringing back. After checking this site, looks like I’m gonna block them for good.

Better just hang up straight away. They don’t care about TPS lists at all.

This guy said he was some sort of local energy consultant for me, but when I checked the number, it definitely wasn’t from around here. I told him that and he just said thanks before slamming the phone down. After reading the reviews, seems like a total scam.

This bloke said he was Chris, some energy advisor in my area, but I reckon he was just a conman, no idea what his real name was tho.

Got a call from someone claiming to be the local energy advisor around here. Didn’t really fancy chatting with her, so I just ended the call. These sorts of calls often seem a bit dodgy to me, but I can’t be certain since I didn’t give her a chance to explain anything.

I received a call at 3.13 in the afternoon from a number that didn’t ring any bells for me, but I could tell it had a Manchester area code. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pick up in time.

Over the past week, I’ve received three calls from this same number. A man claiming to be Peter keeps ringing to say my loft insulation is unsafe. I told him last time that my insulation was installed under a government scheme by Trustmark-approved tradesmen. He just doesn’t seem to get it. This needs to be sorted urgently to put an end to these scammers.

Got a call that felt like one of those automated dialler things, there was a long pause after I answered before anyone said anything. Eventually a woman with a proper English accent came on. She said she was from “Local Energy Saver Consultants” or something like that, and then asked if I was the homeowner. I asked her what company she was with and who exactly she was, and without warning, she just hung up on me. Pretty much a scam, if you ask me!

They always call to tell me my house insulation is terrible and offer some free fix or another. It’s pretty irritating and honestly, doesn’t seem worth the hassle at all.

We got calls from a bunch of numbers that looked alike, but we never picked up. In the end, we just blocked every single one of them.
