I got a message saying I need to activate my account to talk with my care team. It came from CONNCT - yeah, they missed a letter or something. Totally looks like a scam to me. Definitely don’t click on the link!

We had this guy on the phone with a thick Scottish accent, and he somehow already knew our name. The problem was, we couldn’t quite make out what he was trying to say since it sounded like he was munching on the microphone the whole time!

Honestly, I reckon this might be dodgy or some sort of con because the 529 in the phone number doesn’t seem like a common Manchester code.

I got a call from 01615299462 claiming to be from Government Health Services. They sounded like they already knew my name and where I lived. They started talking about loft insulation, but I told them I'd already had mine done. After that, they just hung up on me.

It seems to me that the way this operates is rather clever yet frustrating - a machine dials countless numbers all at once, choosing to engage with the ones that connect quickly and disregarding the others. That’s likely why, more often than not, you find yourself speaking to thin air. It really is a numbers game at the end of the day. I believe we ought to have some laws in place to put a stop to such practices. On a related note, just because a call appears to come from a Manchester area code, doesn’t mean it’s genuinely local. They could easily have a device that sits idle in Manchester, cleverly routing the call through there.

I got a call the other day from someone saying they’re from some government health and safety agency, but it smelled like a scam to me. They kept insisting on checks and stuff, but I don’t think they were legit at all. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

Heads up: Insulation can actually be risky for your health and might not be safe at all. It’s especially tricky because older folks and those who aren’t very well might find it quite confusing to deal with. Just something to watch out for!

I've been hearing a lot about this scam involving loft insulation, where they say they're linked to the government or something. Loads of folks are worried because the insulation apparently ends up all fibrous and causing trouble. Really hope someone calls them out and these con artists get busted soon.

Got a call on my landline on 10/5/21 around 4.27 pm from someone asking to speak to the homeowner about insulation. They didn’t care that my number is on the TPS and claimed it was given to them by the government. Using 1471 I found out the number showed up as 0161 529 9462, but I reckon it might’ve been spoofed.

Lately, I’ve been getting loads of annoying calls so now I don’t pick up if I don’t recognise the number until I’ve had a quick look here. This lot hung up on me before I could finish checking them out. I tried ringing them back just to see what’s what, but they ended up putting me on hold and then hung up. What a waste of time!

This number's rung me up like three times this week now. I never answer, but they just keep on ringing back. Seems like they reckon my number's legit, not some made-up one they'll just ditch. They must've gotten hold of it from somewhere, thinking if they keep at it, I'll finally pick up.

Received a rather peculiar call from this number earlier today. The chap on the other end had a South African twang and seemed to know a fair bit about me, including my name and address. He mentioned my loft insulation and claimed the specific type I had could lead to mould and damp issues, saying some bloke would be in touch soon to investigate further. When I pressed him about which organisation he was representing, he confidently stated it was a UK government agency. Not for a second do I buy that! From now on, I’ll be letting these calls go straight to voicemail.

I've checked with this guy at 01615299462 and confirmed that I was the person he was asking for, along with my address. I was pretty doubtful at first, but he mentioned stuff about our loft insulation, like when it was done, which made me think he might be legit - although I stayed careful. I'm sure they'll be ringing me again. It worries me a lot that he already had all our info - names, address, and phone number.

Answered the phone, but I’m thoroughly fed up with it. Just silence on the other end until a chorus of “Hello” echoed back at me. I stayed quiet though, feeling a tad empowered in that moment. Finally managed to reclaim a small slice of his time instead of the other way round. As a result, I hardly ever bother with my landline these days. I remember a mate from ages ago who’d take calls and then just set his phone down somewhere, silencing it completely. It would leave the caller pondering for ages... It’s my home, not a call centre for their convenience!

On 14th April around 9.30 in the morning I got a really quiet call, no one spoke. Then the very next day, at nearly the same time, the same number called again. A woman asked if I was the owner of the house, but I asked who it was first. She said something about loft services and asked again if I owned the place. I just told her no and hung up straight away.

I've received calls from this number for three consecutive mornings, claiming to be offering loft conversion services in my locality. On the third morning, I inquired how they obtained my number, and the representative mentioned something about 'marketing preference.' I requested them to remove my details from their list since I have no interest in such offers. Additionally, we're registered with the Telephone Preference Service to avoid unwanted calls and are also ex-directory. Interestingly, on that third morning, the call initially came through as an 0151 number; I heard something about a charge of a quid, then it switched to the 01615299462 number.

I got a call around half-past nine on April the 14th from a chap with a noticeable foreign accent, which made it seem like he was part of a bustling call centre. He began prattling on about loft insulation, relentless in his attempts to get information from me regarding when it was put in and how it had been done. He wanted my name and whether I owned the property. I shot back that if he was ringing me up, he ought to already know my name. His response was that he was not permitted to disclose that information. When I inquired about the company he represented, he claimed to be from UK Energy. I promptly informed him I had no interest in his spiel and hung up.
