I told him I’m not the owner and he just hung up on me, really rude. When I rang back, he acted like he never said anything about the "government" and was trying to scam folks with some loft insulation scheme. It’s awful, especially since vulnerable people could get tricked by this. Best to just ignore the call!!!

I told the bloke I wasn’t who he was looking for and he just hung up on me, really rude. When I rang back, he denied ever saying anything about the “government” and started talking about loft insulation scams. Proper nasty trick that could fool some of the older folks. Seriously, don’t pick up if this number rings you!

Received a rather pushy call from 0161 768 8522, claiming they were offering a complimentary loft inspection linked to Salford and some government initiative. The individual on the other end was rather overbearing, interrupting me repeatedly whenever I attempted to ask any questions. I've decided to steer clear of this and have promptly blocked the number.

I had a rather peculiar phone call from a chap named Evan, who was saying he was affiliated with the Energy Efficiency Council. He seemed quite intent on prying into my personal details. He kept mentioning the BBC and government initiatives, all while offering a complimentary loft survey for insulation, along with some so-called free funding from the government. Honestly, he was incredibly persistent and didn’t seem to grasp the concept of 'no'. In the end, I had to hang up on him.

Persistent nuisance who doesn't seem to grasp the concept of rejection. When I kindly mentioned that I’d be ending the call, he turned quite irritable. He insisted that our loft insulation was subpar and that superior alternatives were available. Interestingly, he claimed to be an energy officer from Oldham Metropolitan Borough.

Green Cross Energy seems to be inundating folks with unsolicited calls. If their receptionists are tied up with telemarketing, you’re merely greeted by a pre-recorded message promising a callback. It's quite the nuisance, really!

Some bloke rang me claiming he was an ‘official’ efficiency officer and wondered if I had a moment. I gave him just half a minute before he asked about my loft insulation. Once I mentioned we’d done a loft conversion, he quickly said the call didn’t concern me and ended the call.

Got a call from a guy, said he wanted to check out our loft insulation and give us a survey. He said it’d only take about an hour or so. Then he started going on about this icylene loft spray stuff and even threw in a mention of a BBC show to sound legit. Felt really dodgy to me, definitely seems like a scam!

I answered and asked who it was, and this loud bloke with a rather sharp tone said he was some sort of efficiency officer for Manchester but didn’t bother giving his name. I just ended the call straight away.

I found it quite off-putting how much personal information he insisted on obtaining before revealing his intentions. I was rather tight-lipped, as it turned out he was trying to recruit me for a grant aimed at loft insulation. He mentioned someone would come over to assess if I qualified for this free service. I reiterated multiple times that I'd already had the work completed, practically shouting, "I've already had it done!" Yet, he seemed to be deaf to my words before promptly ending the call.

Got a call from someone today, sounded like he had an English accent and his voice was really firm, so I thought he might be legit? I was out shopping at the time and told him to ring me back later since it seemed quite urgent. After reading this, I’m glad I didn’t pick up properly. Cheers for the heads up!
