01618502841 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618502841 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call from a supposed energy company mostly operating from Manchester numbers. Callers often claim to be local energy advisors asking if you are a homeowner, but fail to provide details or prove legitimacy. Many users experience repeated calls several times a day, with numbers frequently changing slightly to avoid blocking. The calls tend to hang up abruptly when questioned, and no voicemails are left. Several accounts mention the scammer seeming to know personal info but lacking true knowledge of the caller’s area. The consensus is highly negative, with calls considered harassing, suspicious, and disruptive, especially for vulnerable individuals. Blocking these numbers is common but often ineffective due to the use of multiple variants.

Got a call claiming to be from an energy company, but they wouldn’t give any specifics or say which one they were with, felt really dodgy. Probably a scam attempts. When I told them I was sorted with my current energy supplier, they hung up right away. No proper company would act like that. Never share your info and don’t trust any caller unless you’re sure who they are.

Keep getting calls from Chris, my energy advisor. Had to block it and now it's ringing a different number of mine. Sounds like a robot, keeps repeating the same thing if you don’t say anything.

Not quite sure who they were with, but they called saying they were running an energy survey round here. Didn’t mention any specific area and I didn’t give out my postcode or anything either. I asked if they had a website or a number I could check, then they just cut me off. Feels like a scam to me. Not picking up if they call again.

Got a missed call from this number at 9:12am today. BLOCKED straight away. Same thing happened the last couple of days with calls from 0161 850 2821 at 3:14pm on 20/06/2024 and 0161 850 2847 at 11:40am on 19/06/2024. All definitely the ENERGY LOFT INSTALLATION SCAM. BLOCKED them all.

Was just chillin with my mates and thought I'd pick up the phone for a laugh. Some bloke with a British accent from an energy firm was on the line. I sussed it was dodgy straightaway, so me and my pals had a bit of banter with him till he gave up and hung up. Proper scam if you ask me. Plus, two different numbers popped up on my phone, both apparently from the same energy provider in Manchester. Total rip-offs!

Finally, this scam number should be blocked for good. If more people reported scam calls by texting 7726, there’d be a better chance of shutting down the scammers. You can find more details on how to report phishing attempts on the police’s Action Fraud website. Honestly, if you don’t bother reporting, don’t moan when the calls just keep coming.

On 10th June 2024, got a call from a private number around 5.12pm, Nottinghamshire area. I never pick up calls from 0161 numbers, they’re pretty much always scams, whether it’s a landline at 8am, a mobile in the afternoon or even landlines at the weekend. Most of these calls are just scammers and conmen. If it really was something important, they’d ring back with clear info and a different number you can check with the company to make sure it’s genuine and safe. It’s really quite straightforward!

They kept ringing me... I picked up once while I was driving using hands free, but hung up quick when they started talking. They already had my full info, name, address the lot.

It came across like some sort of job centre for school leavers, this bloke said his name was Chris and he was from the energy advice team. Asked if I was the one paying the gas and electric bills. When I told him it was covered in the rent, a woman suddenly shouted 'liar' really loudly and then the call got cut off. Tried ringing back to get through to a manager but they said none exists. Number’s blocked now.

01618502841 - energy con - keeps blowing up my mobile and home phone. I block one number, then they switch to a slightly different one and keep trying. If this site is collecting details about these calls, you'd think there’d be enough data from all the bad reviews to take real action, instead of just pushing TPS, which honestly, I think is pretty useless. Seriously, whoever’s behind this, step up and sort these scam calls out. Show us that your site actually does something useful!

I figured it was someone from the energy company, but when I told him I wasn't the owner he quickly said thanks for my time and ended the call.

My mum lives there and she’s 75 and quite vulnerable - if she’d picked up I’m not sure what could’ve happened, which worries me a lot.
