01612432424 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612432424 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving unsolicited calls primarily promoting loft insulation and energy-saving services. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service and having ex-directory numbers, calls continue frequently, often without a clear caller identity or leaving messages. Several users describe silent calls, hang-ups upon answering, and aggressive cold-calling tactics, suggesting scam activity. The calls often originate from Manchester-area numbers but feel automated or connected to overseas call centres. Recipients are advised to block the number and remain cautious, as approaches may be attempts to scam or pressure homeowners into unnecessary or deceptive energy-related services. Authorities are urged to enforce stricter penalties to curb such intrusive practices effectively.

01612432424 keeps ringing my phone non stop, it's always some energy or loft company. Can't get a moment's peace with all these calls everyday! 01612432424 is defo on my do not answer list now.

Answered my landline and asked for their name, but they hung up straight away. I think they might’ve figured out I’d tried calling before from a different number and got no response. Bit strange really.

So, I received a call from the number 0161 2432424, and it was this chap with an Indian accent. He was rambling on about how brilliant foam insulation is and the various government grants that are up for grabs. He seemed rather keen on sending someone over to check out my loft, claiming that my existing insulation had seen better days and was due for a swap. When I queried why he needed my address if he was already aware of my insulation issues, he abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

Got a missed call from a number I didn't know. Tried calling back but it went straight to voicemail, as always no message left. I'm already on the TPS and my number’s unlisted - when will these annoying calls finally end?

I keep getting calls pretty much every day, sometimes early in the morning and other times late at night, but when I answer, there’s never anyone there. It’s happened like four or five times a day lately.

Just like someone else mentioned before, I’m on the TPS and my number’s unlisted, yet these annoying calls still get through all the time. I normally let the answerphone handle it but never get a single message afterwards. It’s obvious a scammer’s robot trying to find someone to trick. I’ve blocked the number now.

They didn’t say their name and just asked if we had insulation in the loft. I just hung up straight away since we usually get at least one call a day about loft insulation.

Got a call on my home phone from 0161 243 2424 on the 8th of July around 1:21 in the afternoon. My number’s both ex-directory and registered with the TPS, so I didn’t pick up since I don’t know anyone with that Manchester area code. Fingers crossed if it was some auto-dialler, my number is flagged as no good now!

This 0161 number rings me up constantly. Every time I block one, they seem to switch to a different 0161 number and start again. It’s so irritating because when I finally answer, there’s never anyone there. Feels like pure harassment! I’m really puzzled how they even got my number since I’m quite cautious about sharing it with anyone.

Got a call today from this number which seemed odd cos I’m based in London and it showed up as a Manchester area code. I Didn’t pick up cos I was with work stuff and when I tried calling back, nothing but silence. Someone mentioned here blocking these kinda calls so I went ahead and did that. Cheers to whoever gave us the heads up! I’d say stay clear and just block it straight away.

I got a call on my landline from someone saying they were from the Heat Loss Team. I kept asking if they were ringing to book a survey, but they kept dodging my question. When I pointed out they hadn't answered, their reply was that their job was to ask questions! Some of these dodgy calls are so bad they end up being quite amusing.

Got a call on my home phone saying something about a 'heat loss assessment' and offering free home surveys if you're aged 50 to 70. I told them I wasn't interested straight away. It really sounded like some dodgy call centre overseas trying to convince folks to spend loads of cash to supposedly save money! Definitely wouldn’t put my trust in them.

I didn’t have any options for sorting the heat loss stuff since I’m renting from the council, not my own place. I went ahead and blocked the number just to be safe; my phone is pretty smart and it actually marked that call as likely spam.
