01615244885 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01615244885 👆 is reported as a persistent and suspicious energy-related scam calling from a purported "local advisor" named Helen. Callers often hang up abruptly when questioned or when the recipient states they are on the Telephone Preference Service. Many report silent calls, no messages left on answerphones, or automated script-like interactions that fail to identify any legitimate company. Attempts to confirm caller identity trigger hang-ups, and calls frequently come from different numbers, sometimes with accents incongruent with the claimed location. The calls aim to gather personal and property details under the guise of energy efficiency assessments or government schemes but give no verifiable credentials. Recipients are advised to ignore, block, and report these calls to avoid falling victim to fraud.

They didn’t leave any voicemail, just hung up right after ringing.

This call was one of those quiet ones - they ring loads of numbers at once and only have a chat with whoever picks up first. Apparently, doing that is against the law.

I received a dodgy call regarding an energy report, with the caller claiming to be associated with local energy firms. When I probed her about the company’s name, she suddenly went silent and terminated the call. Curious, I attempted to ring her again, asking, “Why did you hang up?” but she didn’t say a word in reply. If only I’d known about using the 141 prefix before dialling back!

About 10 minutes ago, I got a call from this number. The person on the other end said her name was Helen and claimed she was from the government’s energy survey programme. She asked if I owned the place, and when I said I didn’t, she just disconnected. Bit strange really.

Got a call from a woman about some Energy Scheme, she wanted to know if I owned the house. I asked if it was about the home's A to E energy ratings, then she just ended the call and hasn’t tried ringing again. Feels like this wasn’t a legit call, so watch out.

I got a call from someone named Helen, and I only picked up after letting it ring for a while. She was on about insulation, but it seemed like she was following some kind of automated script that adjusts based on what I say. It can tell if I say yes, no, or ask to be called later. But it totally gets lost when I joke about wanting spare ribs, fried rice, or some house special! Even with TPS in place, these calls keep happening and nobody ever seems to do anything about it.

Got a call at my work number from a lady claiming to be from some government energy check thing. As soon as I told her she was ringing a business and not a home, she just hung up straight away. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

Somebody rang me saying it was a government energy program - totally not true. She kept asking if I owned the house and if I was aged between 40 and 80. She sounded quite elderly and a bit hard of hearing because she kept repeating herself over and over, even though I just said yes each time. Feels like they’re trying to gather your info by getting you to state an age, probably so they can target you with more dodgy calls later on.

Got a call this morning from a woman with a really harsh voice. Like others have said, she said she was with some local company pushing an energy plan. I tried to find out which firm she was with, but when I asked, it switched to some automated message that didn’t say anything useful. Figured it was a waste of time and ended the call.

A woman named Helen rang me, saying she was from the government’s energy assessment program. I told her that no such program existed and warned her it’s illegal to pretend to work for the government. She was about to dive into her usual scam spiel, but I cut her off and ended the call. I blocked the number straight away and reported it to Action Fraud, telling them I’d be happy to testify in court if they decide to charge her. Honestly, these scammers are just the worst kind of people.

Seems like these people don’t really wanna speak to whoever answers first (nowadays we always let the answering machine pick up initially, then grab the phone if it’s someone familiar), but this lot didn’t say a word, probably just too shy or something lol. I just popped on here to see who the spammer was this round.

I got a call from a lady who said her name was Helen and she wanted to do an energy check at my place. She mentioned that someone would come round with ID. But when I told her I wasn’t feeling well enough for it, she suddenly got quite pushy. She asked for my full name and postcode. When I asked her to confirm the details she claimed to have for my number, she just ended the call. Definitely feels like a dodgy scam to me.

We’ve gotten these calls a couple of times now, and they sound super real at first. But if you start asking tricky questions, it’s like you can hear the call glitching or the answers getting looped like some chatbot working through recordings. Honestly, if it’s a human on the other end, they’re either really clueless or just reading from a script. I’d steer clear. It’s quite clever though, I can see how some could easily fall for it.

Got a call from a woman who said she was from some energy saving advice group. She kept asking a load about my house - the roof, address, the works - but wouldn’t say much about which company she was with. Honestly, it felt a bit off and pushy. I’d just recommend hanging up straight away.

I picked up and a woman said she was Helen, my nearby energy advisor. When I told her I wasn’t convinced, she got pretty annoyed and kept insisting it was true.

A lady answered, started off with "Hello, I'm an energy advisor," and then launched straight into a rehearsed spiel about how things like fibreglass and rockwool insulation apparently don't work well anymore.
