Got a call out of the blue today. Completely unexpected and a bit annoying.

The moment I picked up, I put the phone straight down. Seemed like a scam to me.

Got a call from a bloke pretending he was with some roofing and insulation company. He said they wanted to check our loft for any mould or damp problems. I told him we’d already had someone look at it recently and weren’t interested. Our number isn’t listed anywhere and we’re signed up to the Telephone Preference Service, so that call shouldn’t have happened.

A man rang up, asserting he was from a team of surveyors and builders promoting roof and insulation assessments. I informed him that we'd just had a survey completed, hence we did not need any further services. What caught my attention was that our number is an ex-directory one, plus we're officially on the Telephone Preference Service list, making this call quite unlawful.

Just got a call from someone pretending to be with "the energy provider" about my insulation being bad. Total scam!

I answered but didn’t say a word. After half a minute or so, the caller just hung up. Looked it up here and it confirmed what I thought. Reminds me of slimy stuff from a slug. Bristol area.

I’ve been getting loads of calls over the past couple days from places like Manchester, Newcastle, and even Scotland. They keep ringing again and again, so in the end I just blocked the numbers. Not sure what’s going on with that.

I got a recorded call from someone pretending to be a specific person (can't recall the name they used) talking about insulation and asking what kind I have. I didn’t respond, so they left a few short messages trying to get a reply. I have no idea which company they were from and I just let it go since I didn’t answer. When I tried ringing the number back, it played a message about valuing my call and that an agent would be with me shortly, but it just kept looping the same thing for a while before hanging up. Classic scam, and they don’t seem to care about the TPS at all.

Got called by some dodgy fibreglass loft insulation lot for the third time this month, even tho I’m on the TPS list. I’ve already reported them to the ICO and honestly, you should do that too. They’re proper annoying and reckon they can just ignore the rules.

I've been getting incessant phone calls about loft insulation lately. It's becoming rather bothersome!

This number 01618260527 keeps ringing and pretending to be energy advisors talking about changing your insulation. It's total rubbish and they manage to get through with robot calls, even though I've signed up to the TPS. Makes you wonder how useless that service really is. It's definitely harassment. Someone needs to sort these lot out!

Received an automated call that was clearly aimed at scaring older folks by claiming that loft insulation poses a danger. It's nothing more than a dodgy scam, if you ask me.

"Greetings, I'm Ian. I wanted to bring to your attention a matter regarding the insulation in your attic. A recent report issued by the government has flagged this as a potential concern. Following that, I chose to keep quiet until the caller decided to terminate the call. #SCAM"

this number rang me today, but as soon as the answerphone picked up, they just cut off. if it was something important, they would've left a message, right? pretty strange.

Got a voicemail from someone called Ian claiming to be an energy advisor. He was super careful about not mentioning which company he was with, sounded really dodgy. I just hung up once I realised it was probably a scam. Definitely not worth my time!

This number’s a total fraud. Definitely a scam, so I’d recommend you report it through the Action Fraud phishing site straight to the police.

Got a voicemail from someone claiming to be an energy consultant for my region, though I’m nowhere near Manchester where the call came from. Heard the beginning about how bad fibreglass insulation supposedly is, but when they started asking questions for my details, I just ended the call.

Got a call at 8:25 this morning from someone saying they were 'Ian, your local energy advisor' - yeah right, not buying it. The number showed as Manchester, but I live miles away, like a good few hours drive. Smells like that old scam that was going round a few years back making a comeback.

Called me at 10:25 this morning. It seems like another one of those dodgy 'local energy consultant' scams that did the rounds a couple of years back. If this number is legit, it’s supposedly from Manchester, yet I’m not anywhere near there - a good few hours’ journey in fact!
