2 yearsWATCH OUT FOR INSULATION FRAUDS!2 yearsGot a ring from someone claiming to be from an energy company, said her name was Emma. She wanted to check if I was the right person living at the address she mentioned. When I asked her what address she meant, she suddenly went completely silent.Emma2 yearsGot two calls from this number earlier, said it was about a survey or something free.2 yearsThey just won’t stop with the annoying calls, keep ringing nonstop!2 yearsLoads of these 0161 calls get blocked straight away by my phone ‘cause it thinks they’re scams. Every now and then, a slightly different number sneaks past the filter though. Such a pain!2 yearsBeware of scams about housing, theyre everywhere these days!2 yearsGot another call about 15 minutes after the first one. Same number and all.2 yearsGot a dodgy call earlier today, and now this number just popped up. It's almost the same as the one from before, just one number off. Definitely a scam, so I've blocked it straight away!2 yearsI attempted to return the call to this number, but it seems it's no longer in operation.2 yearsThey call but remain silent. I had them on the line for 32 seconds before they hung up.2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from the energy company - total scam!2 yearsThere was so much noise in the background I couldn’t make out what they were saying. These calls are really annoying and need to be banned. I’m expecting a call from the hospital about my doctor, so I have to keep my phone on. It’s so frustrating!!!2 yearsHonestly, anyone who keeps ringing up with these scams has zero decency. In my eyes, it’s outright illegal pestering folks who can’t afford it. I’m beyond fed up with getting these annoying calls, bloody hell!2 yearsI’ve been getting calls from this same number, or at least one very similar, a few times now. It’s really got me scared to even pick up the phone anymore. The number only changes in the last four digits, which makes it even more annoying. I got tricked and scammed two times in less than a week, and honestly, it’s been so overwhelming I can’t help but feel really down about the whole thing. Sometimes I just wanna give up.2 yearsThey called themselves local energy consultants and wanted to know if I still owned the house. I just told them to take me off their list, and then they ended the call straight away!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with an energy firm trying to help cut my bills. I never asked for any info or help though, so I told them to stop.2 yearsThis number with +44 popped up on my phone while I was at the gym, so I couldn’t pick up. After reading the reviews here, I’ve just blocked it and reported it as suspicious. My voicemail didn’t have any message either.+ 442 yearsThey claimed to be from the Department for Work and Pensions but the minute they found out I don’t have a house, they lost all interest.Department for Work and Pensions2 yearsToday I got two calls from this number while I was in Lincolnshire but didn’t pick up. They never left any voicemail or message. I’ve marked it as spam and added it to my block list now.Lincolnshire2 yearsGot loads of calls from different Manchester numbers with those same digits. My phone flagged one as a spam caller. After checking out the reviews here, I thought I'd share that I've been hassled by these guys too. Ended up blocking all of them.Manchester2 yearsI got a call about saving energy, and as soon as I said I wasn’t the homeowner, they just hung up on me.2 yearsSo, today I missed a call on my mobile, but then the same number rang my home phone and I picked up. A woman on the line claimed she could help me cut my energy costs by up to 35%, thanks to some kind of government supported scheme. She said not everyone gets to save that much, and asked for some personal info. Sounds a bit fishy to me. What's a bit odd is that I’d just called my energy company earlier and even got emails from them afterwards. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but it’s a bit unsettling all the same.2 yearsKeep getting nonstop calls, so I just block and delete them straight away.2 yearsHad a ring from 01618502830 earlier today, Wednesday 22nd May. They claimed it was regarding some government energy grant and asked if I owned my house. I asked them to send something in writing first, but as expected, they said they can't do that since they have loads of people to call! Totally rubbish! Ended the call and blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI've been receiving calls from various 0161850 numbers lately. I've tried blocking them and asked repeatedly for my number to be removed from their list, but they just keep ringing. Seems like one of those energy scams or something.2 yearsEven after blocking, number 0161 keeps ringing me non-stop. This time it was a woman asking if I was the owner of the house, but when I asked which property she meant, she just hung up on me! Watch out for them!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from a company, but honestly, don't trust these scammers, especially those from Asia trying to nab your bank info. They're lying about their company name, which likely doesn't even exist. If you just hang up and don't pay attention, they won't get a chance to rob you. Usually, if the number begins with +44, it's fake and probably auto-generated. Definitely report these dodgy calls to Action Fraud and you can text the number 7726 with the details. Stay safe!AsiaAction Fraud2 yearsI came across Quote For Cover and checked the FCA website, and it's flagged as unauthorised. There's a clear warning not to engage with them at all because it's basically a scam. Just a heads up for anyone thinking about using their services.FCA2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the Department for Work and Pensions about some sort of government help with energy bills. I quickly sussed it was a scam and told them to get lost. Hung up straight away.Department for Work and Pensions2 yearsGot a call from 0161 earlier, they said something about the DWP. They claimed my company had been given a government grant for insulation work. I didn’t trust it, so I just ended the call and put their number on block.DWP2 yearsGot a call from a mobile but the number showed as 0161, so I thought it was from Manchester and just ignored it. Then they rang my landline and left a voicemail shortly after, but it was just a couple of random words that didn’t really mean anything - I think one of the words was ‘cricket’. I’d been browsing online before the calls, and loads of annoying ads had popped up.Manchester2 yearsI got a call from someone trying to sell me solar panels.2 yearsSo, I've been told that by investing in solar panels, I could potentially eliminate my energy bills entirely! Sounds a bit too good to be true, doesn't it? 😂😂2 yearsdidnt recognise the number but picked up anyway. a woman said “hi, this is emma...” and started talking about energy efficiency stuff, then asked if i still owned the house. when i asked how she got my details, she just ended the call. now ive blocked the number.2 yearsI got a call from this number, but there was no one on the other end. It was just silence, so I hung up.2 yearsNo matter how many times I block them, they keep ringing my landline as well. It's so annoying, wish there was a way to stop it for good.2 yearsThis number 0161 850 2830 keeps ringing me up every couple of weeks or so, looks like one of those scam calls to me. Honestly, can't figure out why the proper authorities aren’t sorting these scam callers out already. It’s really annoying!2 yearsI've grown utterly tired of this spam caller pestering me, so I’ve stopped answering their calls altogether. It's just become too frustrating dealing with their incessant ringing!2 yearsI've been getting loads of calls several times a day from different 0161 850 numbers. I've had to block them all now.2 yearsGot a call about some solar panels, they asked if I still owned the house. When I said I didn't, they suddenly mentioned a local discount. But when I tried to find out which area they were talking about, they just wouldn't say. Seemed dodgy to me.2 yearsPretty sure I’ve had a run of dodgy calls from Manchester numbers recently. Didn’t bother picking up this time and from what folks are saying here, looks like it was another one of those spammy calls. I’ve blocked them now, but I reckon they might have rung me a couple of times before too.Manchester2 yearsIt’s so annoying getting random calls from different numbers like these. I end up blocking a new one nearly every day!2 yearsThey’re really tenacious, keep ringing me from different 0161850 numbers. Every time I block one, another pops up. Completely relentless.2 yearsGot a call from a blocked number, nothing said, no message left. My phone's software marked it as possible spam.2 yearsGot a call that was really annoying, felt like they were harassing me. Totally unwanted.2 yearsHad another cold call today, this time from a Manchester number. The very first one I got, which was a load of harassment since yesterday, I already blocked. Might be more proof against this "improvement guy" they’re looking into at my job for messing with data protection and all sorts of bullying nastiness. Anyway, that one’s blocked now too.Manchester2 yearsGot a call on my landline from a woman claiming to be with some energy consultancy, asked if I owned the house. I told her I was tied up and had to hang up. She pressed again about being the homeowner, so I ended the call. Later on, I got a message on Facebook Messenger from a Manchester number. When I called it back, a voicemail said it was the energy advice team, with options to press 1 to take my name off their list or 2 to chat with someone. My mate had no clue about any of it but noticed the number pop up on her Messenger too.FacebookManchester2 yearsOn Friday morning, the 19th of April around 10.20am, someone rang me giving their name and claiming to be an energy advisor for the local area. They asked if I still owned the house. Since they never mentioned what company they were from and sounded a bit pushy, I told them "no." Straight after that, they just hung up. It felt really dodgy, like a scam to me. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Emma claiming she was an energy expert from around here (sounds fancy but nah). Ended up hanging up on her.Emma2 yearsSome lady called me claiming her name was Emma and said she worked for the energy efficiency agency. She asked if I owned the house but when I told her I didn’t she just hung up straight away.Emma6 yearsGot a text from some bloke called Alex McDowell claiming he’d randomly picked my number and fancied being mates. He said he’s an engineer based somewhere in the UK. Honestly, I’ve no clue who he is, so I just blocked him straight away.Alex McDowellUKSubmit Your Own Report (0161 850 2830)
