Phone number ☎️ 01616761954 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to aggressive cold calls primarily offering loft insulation surveys or driveway resurfacing services, often under the guise of "local energy advisors." Callers frequently exhibit scripted, robotic behaviour, ignoring refusals and sometimes hanging up abruptly. Several users report attempts to elicit personal information or push paid surveys, with dubious claims about insulation quality causing damage. The number often originates from locations distant from the recipient’s area, adding to suspicion. Vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, are targeted with misleading health-related offers as well. Many recommend blocking the number immediately and caution against engaging, as it is widely regarded as a scam or unwanted telemarketing tactic. Reporting it to relevant authorities is advised to help curb the harassment.

Got a call from some guy saying I qualified for a free medical ID bracelet and then he started wanting all my personal info. I wasn't having any of it and told him off nicely before he hung up. He was polite enough about it, thankfully. Only just remembered I didn’t block the number for like an hour after. Whoops!

This number rang my 95 year old mum claiming she qualified for some kind of medical offer? From what I see in other reviews, it’s actually people trying to sell loft insulation. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.

He rang me up, adamant that I should invest in a medical alert button for emergencies. Quite frankly, I don’t see the purpose and I'm puzzled as to why he assumed I required one.

Over the last few days, I've gotten about five calls from someone named "Tom" talking about loft insulation. Eventually, I figured out that Tom is just a recorded robot voice. Every time he rings, it’s from a new number: 0161 676 1954, 0161 676 1956, 0203 747 7635, 0203 747 7633 and 0203 955 9807. They’ve made it seem pretty clever by pausing during the message so it feels like he’s actually paying attention, but trust me, it’s all automated!

Some random number called me but got straight to my voicemail and didn’t say anything. I checked here and found out the same number’s linked to scams about driveways and loft insulation.

Got a call about loft insulation, but they just hung up on me straight away. It’s no surprise loads of homes around here don’t bother with insulating lofts. Honestly, the government really needs to step up or else hitting the COP26 goals is just not gonna happen.

Had a rather annoying experience with a rather persistent scammer this afternoon. They kept ringing me up for a full two hours, blathering away in what sounded like a South Asian accent. Quite the nuisance, I must say!

I got a call from a bloke called Chris claiming to be an energy advisor from around Manchester. He was talking about how my loft insulation supposedly causes condensation. Thing is, Chris isn’t really local, and there’s no condensation problem in the loft at all in my place. Just a heads up, don’t fall for this - sounds like a scam to me.

Like others have said, they claimed to offer a free insulation check. I ended up handing over my address, hoping to see if they’d follow up and tell me who’s supposed to do the survey. Tried calling them back but the line just cuts off. Fingers crossed they get in touch.

Received a rather dubious call from a fellow named "Patrick" who presented himself as a local energy consultant. He inquired about the loft insulation we currently have, insisting that the outdated materials could lead to dampness and condensation issues. To sweeten the deal, he mentioned a new product and offered to conduct a "survey" for a fee of £75, or complimentary if one falls within the 50 to 80 age bracket. He claimed to have already surveyed much of the area, yet when I pressed him for my postcode, he swiftly diverted the conversation. Despite me politely declining his offer on two occasions, he persisted, talking over me and sticking to his script. Eventually, I ended the call. I should add that we’re on the ex-directory list and registered with the Telephone Preference Service. Definitely feels like a scam to me.

I received a rather unexpected call today about my driveway. The chap on the other end was droning on about offering discounts if he could round up four nearby houses for a new drive. It felt very much like an unsolicited sales spiel-really not convincing in the least. The number was from Manchester, but the caller had a distinctly southern twang and sounded quite young, perhaps fresh out of uni. He didn’t even bother to greet me by name; it all felt a bit too amateurish.

I received a call from this number, but I decided not to pick up. The folks who know me get in touch on my mobile, while anyone else usually gets the boot, as I'm a bit wary of spam and scam calls. Just thought I'd share this information to keep others in the loop!

Received a call regarding some sort of emergency alert system. They seemed to be suggesting that if someone were to take a tumble, a quick press of this button would summon assistance. It sounded like it was geared towards those requiring a carer or support. Honestly, I mentioned that it wasn't something I was keen on pursuing.

I received a phone call from someone identifying themselves as "Patrick," who purported to be a local energy consultant. He was inquiring about the kind of loft insulation we currently have, insisting that the outdated materials could lead to issues with dampness and condensation. Astonishingly, he mentioned a new product he could organize a "survey" for, at a cost of £75, or free for individuals aged between 50 and 80. He asserted that he had already conducted surveys in the majority of my postcode area, but when I pressed him for specifics regarding my postcode, he deflected the question entirely. I politely informed him on two occasions that I wasn't interested in his offer, but he just continued chattering over me, sticking to his script. Eventually, I decided to end the conversation by hanging up. It's worth noting that we're ex-directory and have registered with the Telephone Preference Service.
