2 yearsMy phone keeps saying its spam and ive blocked every single one of the 6 calls!2 yearsNonstop spam calls. They keep switching numbers but it’s always the same AQL WHOLESALE firm. They claim to follow the TPS rules, but they clearly don’t since I’m on the TPS list and they still harass me.TPS2 yearsSomeone said they were from the council's repair dept, I just ended the call straight away.2 yearsGot flagged as a scam, so I just hung up.2 yearsThis number has called me like 10 times now. Really annoying how they keep trying. I’ve just been ignoring them every time.2 yearsRight... I already blocked this number ages ago, so why are they still ringing me??? It's so annoying!2 yearsHad 3 calls from them today, and I've already blocked the number. When will they finally give it a rest?2 yearsThis number rings me almost every other day, about 4-5 times a week. I always ignore it cos I looked it up here already. Going to block it now.2 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke called Mikhail who said he worked for the DSS and mentioned something about the house. He asked if my mum (though it was me answering) was still claiming some benefits. If he was legit, he’d already have known that, surely! The best bit was when I asked what he meant about the house, he just said I was wasting his time and hung up. Good riddance, I blocked him straight away. Bet some other idiot will ring a different number soon about something else.MikhailDSS2 yearsI usually avoid chatting with anyone who seems a bit dodgy. The woman who called sounded quite pleasant - clear English accent and all - but I hung up and looked them up on your site. I'm pretty sure it was a scam. She kept going on about saving energy.2 yearsThis number rings me loads every day. I used to just not pick up but they were so persistent I eventually said to them to stop calling and remove me from their list, but obviously no chance of that. Even though my number’s on the TPS register, they keep buzzing me! Sounds like one of those dodgy local energy scams!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsSeems like one of those dodgy energy scams to me.2 yearsI’m from Northern Ireland and this number called me on 26.03.2024 around 12:34 and again on 27.03.2024 at about 10:08 and later at 13:50. I’ve got it saved as a scam cos last time I picked up, they just hung up straight away. Now I just ignore it.Northern Ireland2 yearsLoads of calls from this and some other numbers, saying they’re my local energy advisor. If you say you’re not the householder, they hang up straight away, but they just keep ringing back!2 yearsHonestly, just put these awful callers on the block already!!2 yearsThis lady said she was from an energy company checking stuff? Sounded kinda robotic but nearly believable... Luckily, I didn’t feel like carrying on, so I just ended the call.2 yearsSuspected energy rip-off, have now blacklisted the number.2 yearsI’ve attempted to block this caller several times but they just switch to a different number. So annoying!2 yearsThese dodgy scam calls from some Asian call centre with a robot voice never seem to stop. If you say yes to owning your home, they keep going, even though I told them I rent the place. They’ve been on my phone for years now. I reckon they sell your info to loads of scammers as well. I just don’t pick up anymore cos they’re sketchy. Tried blocking them but then they ring from a different number again. Really annoying!2 yearsabsolute con artists probably working outta some dodgy shack in a poor country just tryna steal from folks.2 yearsSo I got a call from someone claiming to be my local energy advisor. Seems like a scam, had loads of calls like this over the last year, mostly from Manchester numbers. This time a lady called Emma asked if I owned the house. I told her I rent it. She just said alright, bye then.ManchesterEmma2 yearsBlocked these lot straight away after reading the reviews. Looks like they’re connected to 01618500478, who kept calling about loft insulation, I told them I wasn’t interested and then I just blocked em.2 yearsI got a call from someone who claimed to be Emma, said she's the energy advisor for our area. The voice sounded like it was a robot or something, really fake. They asked if I still owned the house. It kinda felt like one of those scams where they want you to say "yes." So, I just ended the call.Emma2 yearsMy sister picked up the phone and told Emma she wasn’t the one living there, asked her to ring back, but then she just put the phone down. After checking this number on here, I went ahead and blocked it.Emma2 yearsIt turned out to be a total scam when I answered.2 yearsDefinitely a scam, don’t bother answering.2 yearsReally annoying this! Got loads of calls from different Manchester codes but no one says anything when I pick up. Since I live near Manchester, I feel like I have to answer in case it’s something important. Proper frustrating!Manchester2 yearsThis number +44 2618500656 called me twice within 48 hours. I usually just ignore calls from numbers I don't know. Pretty sure it's just another scam.2 yearsWhat a pain!2 yearsHad two calls from this number, didn’t pick up the first time. I did answer the second, but they just disconnected straight away.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be DWP but clearly they weren't legit!Department for Work and Pensions2 yearsdefinitely a scam, dont trust this number!2 yearsIt keeps calling but then just cuts off. Quite frustrating, to be honest!2 yearsGot a call from some people claiming to be from a company, but they were clearly trying to scam me and grab my bank info. They mostly spoke with an Asian accent, and I’d say don’t trust them one bit. There’s no real firm behind it, whatever name they throw at you is fake. Best thing is to just block and ignore the call, stop giving them a chance to steal from you. Often, if the number begins with +44, it’s just a computer tossing out random calls. Definitely report it to Action Fraud and text the details to 7726 if you can. Stay safe, folks!Action Fraud2 yearsThey’ve called me three separate times, all from different 0161 850 numbers in Manchester. I’ve had enough and blocked them now.Manchester2 yearsGot a call from Emma who said she was an energy advisor in my area. I stayed quiet the whole time, she just kept going over the same lines. Eventually she gave up and ended the call when I didn’t say anything.Emma2 yearsI picked up and said, "Hi, this is Emma, do you own a house?" When I told her no, she just said alright and hung up.Emma2 yearsI received a rather brief and abrupt phone call from a woman inquiring whether I was the homeowner. As soon as I replied, she abruptly hung up on me. Quite peculiar, I must say!2 yearsLooks like this number belongs to the DWP, from what I gathered.Department for Work and Pensions2 yearsThe phone just buzzed once and then they cut off.2 yearsI reckon this was a dodgy call - definitely sounded like spam to me.2 yearsI received a call from someone named Emma regarding solar panels. She inquired whether I was the property owner, yet she had no clue about my name or where I lived. Definitely sounds like a scam to me!Emma2 yearsI received a rather unsolicited call from someone trying to hawk energy tariffs, asking for my bank details. I decided it best to terminate the conversation and promptly added their number to my block list.🚫2 yearsI received a rather dodgy call regarding energy services; it's clearly a scam. Do yourself a favour and don’t pick up!2 yearsI've just received a phone call from the number 0161 850 0656. They were offering complimentary energy insulation services and started probing about whether I was receiving any benefits and if I owned my home. Strangely, they didn’t seem to know who I was at all! When I began to question the nosy inquiries they were making, they abruptly hung up. Quite the cheeky scam, if you ask me!2 yearsThis number has been ringing me non stop for the last few days, ive even had to block it on my mobile and its still coming up on my landline. Quite annoying really.2 yearsMy phone flagged the incoming call as spam, so I thought it best to ignore it altogether.2 yearsHad a rather dodgy call that I suspect was spam.2 yearsI received a call from a lady named Emma claiming to be from the Energy Advice Centre. She inquired if I still owned my home. Honestly, her tone felt rather unprofessional.EmmaEnergy Advice Centre2 yearsGot loads of calls the past few days that just ring once and then hang up. No way I’m returning those, sure it’s some sort of scam. Blocked the number straight away.2 yearsGot a call from some energy firm asking if I owned the house.

I just told her to stop bothering me and ended the call. Feels like some company is probably sharing phone numbers with these scammers.Emma2 yearsGot a call earlier claiming to be from some energy saving consultants, was totally unsolicited.Submit Your Own Report (0161 850 0656)
