01618205003 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618205003 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and potential scam involving calls from an individual claiming to be a local energy consultant named "Chris." The caller frequently discusses loft insulation, mould, damp, and sometimes solar panels, often under the pretense of addressing issues with existing government grant insulation. Despite claiming to be local, the caller dials from various UK locations, suggesting no genuine local affiliation. The methodology includes cold calls, attempts to gather personal information, and pushing for unnecessary surveys or replacement services. Many recipients consider these calls as harassing, untrustworthy and advised to block the number. There is no evidence of verifiable credentials, making this a likely fraudulent telemarketing operation best avoided and reported.

I recently had a rather dodgy character trying to pass themselves off as my local energy advisor. They were keen on getting me to arrange a loft insulation survey. I didn’t hesitate to hang up and promptly blocked the number.

I've gotten several calls from someone saying they're an energy advisor. They keep chatting about things like damp, mould, and loft insulation every time they ring. Seems like the exact same spiel on repeat.

Received an unexpected phone call regarding loft insulation, claiming that the material we had installed through a past Government Grant was responsible for issues like condensation and mould. The caller was rather pushy, asking for my personal information, like the spelling of my surname, under the pretext of sending someone to provide a quote for a supposedly better replacement that wouldn’t have these issues. It's a bit concerning - feels like telemarketing that’s teetering on the edge of being a scam, as they surely can’t know the specifics of the insulation in my loft without prior knowledge.

Some bloke called Chris, said he was my local energy advisor, rang me from a Manchester number, which is odd cos I’m down here in Devon. He’s phoned before too, claiming to be from Bournemouth and once even Glasgow - I guess he’s got a few numbers on rotation. Doesn’t seem to take a hint that I’m not interested. Has anyone figured out a good way to stop these calls?

I've heard Chris has been everywhere - Bournemouth, then Cardiff, and now Manchester. None of those places are anywhere near here. What a muppet!

Oh, the so-called energy advisor from down the street? What a joke, seriously!

Got a call from someone called ‘Chris’ saying he’s an energy advisor nearby. I seriously doubt he’s local, especially since the same name popped up from another number earlier. It’s turning into a proper nuisance and honestly feels like harassment now.

I mentioned to them that our loft's all boarded up. Said if they’re game to clear out what’s been piling up for 50 years to replace the insulation, then go ahead!

Got a call claiming to do loft insulation, but I told them I live in an apartment block with no loft. Seemed like a total scam to me.

Got a call from someone pretending to be an ‘official energy advisor’, but really they were pushing loft insulation deals. Seems like it’s a known scam, worth being careful about.

A chap named Chris rang me up and wouldn't stop prattling on about solar panels and insulating the loft as soon as I mentioned I owned the house. I decided to hang up, as I had a feeling I recognised his voice from a conversation we had a few months ago.

I received a dubious call regarding loft insulation, which seemed rather fishy.
