01616761956 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01616761956 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and potential scam linked to unsolicited calls mainly about loft insulation surveys, energy efficiency, or home improvement. Callers often identify themselves with different names and organisations, sometimes government-related or local energy advisers, but inconsistencies like distant locations and scripted responses raise suspicion. Many recipients report no message left, silent calls, or aggressive sales tactics pressuring for personal information and property access. Despite frequent attempts, including calls to numbers on the Telephone Preference Service list, blocking proves necessary as the calls continue. Users strongly advise caution, recommend not engaging, and urge reporting to relevant authorities as these cold calls are widely considered deceptive and misleading attempts to gain trust or personal data.

Got a call from someone called "Chris" who said he's an Energy Advisor for my area, telling me my loft insulation isn't current based on the MG Performance Register. I live in a flat with no loft at all, so I asked what this MG Performance Register was. Right after that, the call just dropped. Looked it up online and it's obvious this is a con.

Just got a call from a bloke saying my loft needs checking out and he’d sort an appointment. He was chatting about insulation causing damp and condensation in some homes, something that needed replacing. I had no clue what he was on about, told him straight he was a total con and told him to jog on. Watch out for this, he sounded pretty sharp and talked like he knew his stuff, all confident without sounding pushy. Honestly, shame he doesn’t use his smarts to find a real job. I can’t stand these dodgy types at all.

Got a call from a person claiming to be with the "Residential Green Standards Association." He said someone would come by to check out our loft insulation, saying it was behind the damp and condensation we've been getting. How on earth did he know about that? He insisted that the insulation, put in by some private company, wasn’t good enough and needed renewing. I told him he was wrong since I'd just done a full upgrade myself. Then he asked if I was the homeowner, but I didn’t give him a straight answer. After that, he just ended the call.

Got a call about insulation asking how old I was and if I could still get into my loft. When I questioned the cost, he just hung up straight away. Definitely some sort of scam, best to avoid these calls.

I'm from Scotland and I’ve seen loads of people mention this number before - 01616761956. It’s definitely a scam, no doubt about it. I’m really wondering why they haven’t been shut down yet, considering how many times this number has been flagged and searched. Seems like they’re getting away with it!

I got a call from a bloke named Chris, maybe from some government dept, about loft insulation. I swear he rang me before back in 2021 too. He said my insulation might cause damp and condensation and should be checked every 3 years or so. He mentioned having a crew in my area on the 15th to do surveys and leave quotes. Chris asked how old I was, if I owned the house, and whether the loft was converted. I asked if the insulation would go between the rafters or on the floor, and he said it was spray foam. I told him I wasn’t interested, and then he just suddenly hung up on me.

They said they were a government-approved loft insulation firm. Feels dodgy to me, probably a scam.

Got a call from an energy advisor claiming to be local, but the number was from Manchester, which is like 100 miles off from where I live. I’m on the TPS, so I don’t usually get these, but he just kept pushing. When I asked how he was "local" when I live nowhere near Manchester, he just cut me off straight away.

Got a call from someone claiming to be a local energy consultant, but it was obviously some kind of robot voice reading from a script. I asked them three times where they found my number, and every time it was the exact same reply, not changing a bit. After I said they never actually answered me, all I got was a quick "ok" before the call just dropped. Needless to say, they've been blocked.

So Chris apparently thinks we've still got that 'white fluffy stuff' in our attic, according to his notes. I told him to sort his info out because we've upgraded to a top-notch insulation now, then just ended the call! Blocked the number straight away. Like someone else said, I'm pretty sure he called us last year too.

So this bloke on the line kept muttering some dodgy company name that sounded all posh but way too convoluted to be legit. Felt like he’d been through some government speech class or something, cause he just rambled without making much sense. I gave ’em a callback outta curiosity and turns out it was one of those lead gathering scams. Definitely steer clear of this one!

Got a call from someone saying he was Chris, supposedly from a "Green Eco Centre" based in southwest London. He started going on about my loft insulation needing an upgrade or something, but honestly I know quite a bit about home energy stuff and it all sounded like nonsense to me. Funny thing is, this so-called "Green Eco Centre" also rings from a Bournemouth phone number. Feels very dodgy, maybe just a scam to trick folks into giving away personal info or getting into their houses. Tried looking up the company but couldn’t find anything legit with that name.

Honestly, this just never ends. How do people get away with ringing you non-stop like this? I’m almost positive it’s the same caller who used to chat about loft insulation, but now they're claiming to be from “The Driveway Centre.” Each call comes from a different number too. Tried looking up this company but found nothing whatsoever. There really ought to be stricter laws to stop this nonsense.

I've received information regarding my postcode appearing in relation to energy efficiency, suggesting that the loft insulation here is of an older variety. Just to clarify, I reside in a ground-floor flat, so that’s a bit curious!

So, they rang but didn't bother to leave a message. I can only assume it’s just like the previous calls. Given that they’re contacting a business with absolutely no insulation whatsoever, being situated inside a building, I'm left baffled as to their motives. Seriously, what on earth could they possibly want?
