Got a call from this number today, saying they wanted to give me compensation from some timeshare legal thing in Spain. After reading the other comments, it’s clear they’ve switched up their story. Doesn’t seem legit at all, so watch out. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

Just like everyone else mentioned, this felt really misleading. The guy on the phone said it was an essential check for heat loss or something. When I told him I wasn’t interested, he actually called me rude! This call centre clearly isn’t training their people properly, it’s totally not on.

This number has called me a few times in the last week, about 3 times. Whenever I pick up, theres either no one there or they just hang up right away.

0161 532 9875 rang me just now. The guy said he was with Advantage, claiming they were carrying out a heating survey in my area. I told him I wasn’t interested, and then he called me rude!

Sounds like a call centre to me. There’s always a little pause before someone answers, which sets off my BS alarm pretty quick. Usually, before they’ve even said much, I’ve already hung up. I used to mess around with these calls just to waste their time, but I don’t bother anymore - it’s lost its fun. We get loads of calls like this every week. It’s actually quite sad, thinking about who’s on the other end doing this all day then just going back to their regular life.

Pretty clear she was just rifling through a phone directory. I told her I wasn't who she was looking for, then she wanted me to verify the address she mentioned. I said no thanks, I never share info on the phone. Definitely some kinda scam, watch out and just hang up straight away!

Got a call today from someone called Alex claiming to be from Advantage, said they were surveying my area. I ended the call quickly, but they phoned back immediately so I just hung up. He sounded super sure of himself, trying to sell something I never asked for. When I asked if it was a cold call he said no, and insisted we keep talking to save time for both of us, which felt pretty pushy and annoying.

My partner picked up the phone and some woman said "hi babe" to him. He asked who it was, and she said Advantage, that they had people in the neighbourhood today. He ended the call, and I reckon it was polite enough on his part. We've been on the TPS list for ages now, but it clearly doesn't make any difference. Something’s got to be done about this, these call centres should really be shut down.

I recently had an unsettling experience with a caller from this number based in Manchester. It was a man who insisted on prying for personal details without any willingness to reveal his own identity or the purpose of his call.

Honestly, if you know who lives there, you should be able to answer a straightforward question. Told him if I looked his number up online, it’d probably say ‘scam alert’! Folks, don’t let these jokers get away with it - always insist they give you plenty of your own details. If they can’t, then they definitely don’t have the full info, which legit companies you deal with always will.

Oh, here we go again! When someone dangles the lure of a complimentary window survey, it’s pretty clear they just want to push the idea that you need new ones. Honestly, nothing comes without a cost these days, and I’d appreciate a bit of transparency for once. I’m not interested in having your surveyor traipse through my home. I certainly don’t want any fancy certification, nor do I have any desire for whatever dodgy product you’re planning to peddle after the survey. Your little scheme doesn’t fly with me, Advantage Windows - I see right through it! - caller: Advantage Windows.

He had the cheek to know my name and was pressing me for details about my policy, which I flatly declined to provide. His tone shifted to rather rude when I refused. I’ve come across other reports indicating that they pose as various insurance companies-it’s clearly a scam of sorts. So, do take caution with such calls! - caller: Impostor insurance scam.

Someone called saying they were from 'Advantage' doing energy assessments. When I asked why they ignored the TPS, they got all moody. I just took their info and reported them to the ICO.
