Just like every other call I've had from these lot, it was all about some fibre glass loft insulation needing swapping or whatever. I just ended the call straight away as I usually do. How long till they realise? I don’t bother with scam callers, plain and simple! It’s really annoying how so many have our private numbers. The TPS? Might as well be useless!

I got a call claiming to be from the Energy Hub, asking about when our loft insulation had been checked, specifically if it was fiberglass like Rockwool. They acted like it was some big danger and irritant. Honestly, who do they think I am? Some mug that falls for everything? I rang back the number and told them I’d be reporting it to trading standards. Heard loads about this scam in the news recently.

If you come across any scams, it's best to report them straight away using the system the NFIB has put in place. It’s designed so anyone can easily add scam reports to the fraud database without having to sign up or create an account. Just search for ‘action fraud’ on Google and head over to the official UK police website. Find the phishing report section, then just scroll down to the bottom and start filling out the quick form. It’s really simple and helps get these fraudsters looked into.
