01618500478 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618500478 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation posing as local energy advisors, often using the name "Chris" or automated voices, targeting homeowners with offers for loft insulation, energy efficiency checks, and solar panel installations. Callers frequently provide vague or false company details, attempt to confirm homeownership, and pressure for personal information. Numerous users report repeated daily calls, hang-ups when questioned, or abrupt disconnections. The calls often originate from various numbers, some with Manchester dialling codes, despite callers being outside the area. Blocking is common but insufficient due to number rotation. Many advise ignoring unknown calls and suggest reporting to Action Fraud and utilising do-not-call registers. The consensus warns against engaging, sharing personal data, or allowing access to property, highlighting the calls as deceptive and potentially harmful scams.

Someone rang me pretending to be from British Gas, saying they wanted to set up a chat with an energy advisor to help me cut down on my gas bills. Quite suspicious if you ask me.

These calls are just annoying spam, I’ve had to block loads of them saying they’re from solar or energy saving companies around here. I’m a homeowner and they keep telling me I can make a claim, but Manchester is miles away from where I live and I rent privately anyway. So yeah, I’ve added this 0161 number to my ever-growing list of blocked calls.

Claimed to be an energy advisor from the area wanting to talk about loft insulation. Told them our loft is already done but they kept going on and on. In the end, I hung up - total scam. They’ve phoned me at least once today and maybe before that too. I’ve blocked the number now.

Annoying caller kept asking about loft conversions over and over, even though I kept saying I wouldn’t talk until he said which company he worked for. Then the tosser just hung up on me. Definitely sounds like a scam, especially since he said it was for a free check-up. It’s scary to think what crooks like that might get up to if they actually got inside someone’s house.

Had three calls over the past few days, plus another one from 0161 850 0656, all saying they were my local energy advisor wanting to do an energy efficiency assessment - and each call was a different person! Every time I told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call, except on the last one where I tried to say ‘please stop calling’, but they cut me off before I could finish.

Got a call from this number, the person asked if I owned the house and I said yes. Then they started on about loft insulation and offering a free inspection or something like that. I told them it’s a new build so no need for it. Just as I was about to say I wasn’t interested, they asked my age and gave some age ranges to pick from. I told them I wasn't comfortable sharing that and then they just cut the call. Pretty obvious it’s best to block and avoid this one.

Just got a call from this number a moment ago. The person on the line knew my name and even the area I live in. He began with, “Hi, I’m Chris, the approved energy advisor for your region. We offer assistance for property owners like you…” Since I don’t own a home, I ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

Said they were an Energy Expert representing the Conservative Party, trying to push Heat Pumps, Loft Insulation, Solar Panels, Wind Turbines, Mini Nuclear Reactors, and even Electric Blankets. Promised massive discounts if I voted Tory in the next General Election. They immediately ended the call when I told them I’d rather shiver than give the Tories my vote.

I told her my number was on the TPS and also ex-directory, but she just insisted it was in a database somewhere. I said I keep my family, money and personal stuff private and wouldn’t talk to her about any of it. Then she just cut me off.

This bloke named Chris rang me up and immediately launched into some spiel about energy savings.

Got calls from 01618500478 twice in as many days. I didn’t pick up as i usually dont answer unknown numbers. If it was important they could leave a message. Feels like a scam to me. When i did pick up once before, i stayed silent and they just hung up. I reckon if you answer they know the number is live, so best to just ignore numbers you dont recognise.
