I've just received my second call in under thirty minutes, this time from a different number. The message was supposedly from an energy company. I’m not buying it, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number! Honestly, I just want them to disappear already!

Received a call claiming to be from an energy provider. I didn't pick up, but they left a voicemail! It's getting rather tiresome, as this is the second time in half an hour, and from different numbers! I’ve gone ahead and blocked both of them.

I couldn’t get through, but judging by other calls from similar numbers, it seemed like that classic “local energy advisor in your area” scam.

They said they were from some “local entry service” or something, asking if I’m the homeowner. I’m only 19 and clearly not in charge of the house. I told them to take me off their list and asked if they enjoy ripping off hardworking folks. They just cut me off straight away :)

Got a random call on 28th May 2024 around 5:50 PM to my MP3 player that’s only used for emergencies, not even a proper phone. No one’s got my number saved, so how on earth did they find it? Then on the 29th May at 10:43 AM, another call popped up from 01618502821, which looks like the same company. Really wonder how they got hold of this number too.

Got another call from one of those "energy firms" using 0161850 followed by different digits. Every time I block one number, they ring me from a new 0161850**** line, they must have loads of them. I’m in Manchester and 0161 is a local area code, so at first it sounds legit, but then I clock the 850 bit and realise it’s a con. Plenty of older folks here might get tricked, thinking it’s someone they know. These companies need to stop scamming people like this!

Got a scam call from a voice with an English accent, just some generic chat about energy stuff in a building. No matter what you say, it just replies with "right we have the correct details," like it's all pre-recorded expecting your answer. Could be really harmful for elderly or vulnerable folks since it sounds quite legit and local. Watch out for it!

Chris, calling himself an energy advisor. I can't see how this is supposed to be TPS compliant. Absolute rubbish.

Just received my inaugural cold call today from some overly chatty number hailing from Manchester. They didn’t bother leaving a message, which would have clarified their identity and potentially supported my ongoing concerns regarding the ‘improvement consultant’ who is currently facing scrutiny at my workplace for breaching data protection laws and a myriad of other unpleasant behaviours, including bullying and harassment. Honestly, maybe they ought to think twice before even picking up the phone! I’ve since added them to the block list.

Had my first unsolicited call of the day from a Manchester area code, way too casual for a stranger. They didn’t even leave a voicemail or any details, which might have helped with ongoing issues regarding a colleague being looked into for breaching data privacy and other serious misconduct like harassment. Number's blocked now.

Hello, I received a phone call from this number, but I wasn’t able to take it as I’m deaf. However, I believe I've been a victim of a scam, and I’m uncertain whether this call is related to it: +234 706 672 1608. If anyone has information regarding this number, I would greatly appreciate your assistance, as I am currently collaborating with the police about this matter. Cheers, Miss C Shaw
