Got two calls from this number on Friday, then on Saturday a nearly identical one (0161 560 9608) tried three times but never even made it past my call blocker to ring. Judging by what others say here, these are proper scammers. I reckon my phone setup saved me again! Got the BT Decor 2600 with trueCall for about £24 from Currys - honestly best money spent, finally some quiet and the missus is chuffed!

Got a call from a woman speaking with an Aussie accent claiming to be an energy consultant for our region. She kept going on and on, even after I said I wasn’t interested and asked her not to ring again. Ended up hanging up and blocking the number straight away. Definitely a scam!

I keep getting calls from a woman who says she’s Jo, some sort of Energy Advisor around here. Not sure if it’s a real person or just a recorded message - I’ve turned down a few calls from her now. She’s got some others working with her as well, and honestly, I wouldn’t trust any of them at all.

I keep getting calls from this scammer and no matter how many times I hang up, they just won’t give up. It’s like they’re ignoring every refusal I give.

Got two calls from this number in less than half an hour. When I asked who was calling, they just stayed silent and didn’t say anything. Bit annoying.

I got two calls from a 0161 number recently. The first one, with the last three digits 608, happened around 4.20pm on 8th Feb and they claimed to be from some community organisation or something like that. Then, just over half an hour later, the same number but ending 605 rang me again, but no one was there when I answered. Seemed fishy to me, especially when I told them I don’t entertain unsolicited calls and asked if they were the homeowner - they just hung up straight away. Definitely felt like a scam!

Like others have said before, I got a call from a woman with a really clear voice. She was talking about some new government offers for loft insulation. I actually had another call about the same thing around 10 minutes earlier, but that number was private. I ended up hanging up after about a minute.

My landline rang and it was a woman speaking with what I reckon was an Aussie accent. She tried persuading me to get a free attic inspection, saying the government no longer backs fibreglass insulation. She wanted to know if I owned my home and some other stuff like my age group. I wasn’t having it and it all seemed a bit dodgy to me.

I chose not to pick up because the number wasn’t familiar. I usually look them up here before calling back and from what I can see, this one seems like a scammer based on what others have said. Appreciate the heads-up!

Got another call today from that same robotic voice again. This company rings me every single month, saying they're local energy advisors. I'm based in Kent, but they're up in Manchester - hardly local, is it? Really annoying! TPS, please do something about this!

This number keeps ringing me, and it's driving me mad! Cheers for the heads up that it's a scam, I wouldn’t have known otherwise. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.

Got a call from a Manchester code, claiming to be my local energy consultant in Cornwall. Told him “Mate, you’re not” and hung up straight away. TPS doesn’t do any good, they let these calls through anyway. What a waste!

I keep getting calls from the same WAN### number. I’ve had to block it using both my BT security settings and my TrueCall device. What worked best was blocking the entire area code through my TrueCall. Here’s how I did it: While the phone’s resting, I pressed BLOCK, typed in my PIN, chose BT Call Blocking, then pressed OK, went to Block Numbers, again OK, picked Area Codes, and hit Save. That should sort it out! Fingers crossed I won’t hear from this ARS##### again anytime soon.

The call kicked off with a recorded message warning that the conversation would be monitored. Then, a woman with a British accent introduced herself as Jo from an energy consultancy firm working nearby. She asked if I was the owner of the property. I quickly replied, "Which energy advisor exactly?" and she immediately hung up without another word. That was enough for me to figure out what was going on. I’m guessing they’d go on to quiz you about your boiler, insulation, double glazing and stuff like that, then sell your details to different companies who’d bother you with calls.

I picked up the phone and there was total silence on the other end. Nobody said a word and they just ended the call after about 10 seconds.
