01618840114 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618840114 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to aggressive and abusive scam calls, primarily involving supposed government grants for free boiler replacements or energy-saving schemes. Callers often use foreign accents, claim affiliation with energy companies or government programmes, and have personal details like names and addresses, suggesting data leaks. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, calls continue frequently, with tactics including silence upon answer, hang-ups, repeated calls, and offensive language when challenged. Several callers hang up abruptly or avoid providing verifiable details. Many users warn against answering or returning calls, recommending blocking the number and exercising caution, especially to protect elderly or vulnerable individuals from distress and potential fraud. The number is widely flagged as fraudulent by multiple UK residents.

Someone just called saying it was about a government grant, but I ended the call straight away.

Got a call offering a free boiler replacement but as soon as I questioned it, they just dropped the call! Definitely sounds like a scam.

Today, on the 2nd of August 2024 around half past twelve in the afternoon, I got a call from this number. It was a gentleman who spoke with a strong Indian accent, calling me by my name, and there was clearly noise like a busy call centre in the background. I told him we're signed up to the TPS, so he had no right to be ringing me, and asked him to take my number off his list. After that, I ended the call and went straight to block the number.

"Beware of the so-called 'free gas boiler replacement' con by the government! They disconnected the call as soon as I pushed back!"

I experienced a similar bout of harassment, and to top it off, another call came through laden with even more vitriol.

Some bloke rang me claiming his name was Trevor, but he spoke with a really thick accent. He asked for us by our names and when I asked who he was, he dodged the question and said he wasn’t with a company, just wanted to chat about government schemes for central heating boilers. I told him I wasn’t interested and hung up, but he kept ringing back more times after that, though I just ignored them. Seems like they must have got hold of a list with our details somewhere.

Got a call about a boiler replacement plan. Seemed a bit dodgy to me. Anyone else had something like this? Feels like a scam to me.

As soon as I ended the call, the bloke rang me again and started dropping the F bomb, insisting he wasn’t trying to sell me anything.

This number called me last week, which I marked as a scam. Today, it rang me a couple of times more. I really don’t get why the phone company lets these scammers keep using the same number when it’s clear they’re up to no good. Seems like they care more about making money than protecting people from these annoying calls.

My nan got two calls from this number, first up was a bloke asking for the person who owns the house. When Nan asked what it was about, he claimed to be from the local energy company. She wasn’t having any of it and didn’t share any details, then he just hung up. Later on, a woman phoned who seemed to know Nan’s last name and said she was ringing from Microsoft. Nan quickly called her out, saying Microsoft wouldn’t be making calls like that and called her a scammer. The woman then ended the call straight away.

Around 4:15pm on 26th July 2024, I got a call from a man in the North West of England asking to talk to whoever lives here. When I asked who it was, he gave me the full name, address and postcode - all correct. I called him out as a scammer, and he started getting really rude. Over the next 20 minutes, he kept ringing back and being aggressive. Quite a frustrating experience.

Got a call on my home phone earlier but the person on the other end seemed a bit off and ended the call just as I was about to say something. I noticed quite a bit of noise in the background, like people chatting away in a call centre, maybe with Asian accents? Looks like another one of those scam calls tbh. Wonder if they’ll try again...

This number rang me but the voice sounded really Asian and I had no clue who it was, so I just ended the call. Felt good to look it up here and see it wasn’t someone I needed to bother with.

Got a call from a bloke who was really curt, just wanting to speak to the business owners by their last name. When I asked if he wanted to leave a message, he said yes but then just went quiet. I asked again and he suddenly said no. Honestly, it was pretty strange.

01618840114 called me, said they were from Manchester but the call actually came through India. Another scammer pretending to offer a boiler replacement supposedly backed by the Government! Be careful!

I picked up the phone and could hear some noises in the background, so I was just about to end the call. Then someone asked about the age of my boiler. I told them it was brand new. After that, they said thanks and ended the call straight away. I never really caught where they claimed to be calling from!

As soon as I picked up, the caller just cut off. Bet they’ll ring again sometime soon. Today’s Tuesday 15.09.

I wasn’t home when this number phoned, so my voicemail picked up. I could hear a bloke repeating “hello, hello, hello” over and over. It’s daft, my answer machine clearly asks for a message! Such utter nonsense. After looking through all the comments about this number, I’m relieved I missed it - they seem like proper dodgy characters. Surely there’s some law against these creeps pestering us like this!

I’ve realised it’s best not to respond at all when these scammers call. They just wanna waste your time and maybe get some info. Ignoring them is the way to go.

I called the number back out of curiosity, only to get an automated reply saying the number was disconnected due to possible fraud. Definitely seemed dodgy to me.

Got a call from a bloke asking for someone in the family, claimed he was with Energy Saver. I told him we weren’t interested at all and asked him to take our number off their list, then I ended the call. Later, a different number rang but no one spoke when I answered. Pretty clear this is a scam.

I got a call from 01618840114 claiming the government wanted to assist with energy costs. I hung up straight away, but then they rang back and started using rude language. Definitely a scam, so I just ended the call for good.

Received a dodgy call on my mobile from someone claiming to conduct an energy survey. Shockingly, they knew my name, but I can’t fathom how they got my number. Usually, these pests only ring my landline! It’s left me quite concerned about how they’re managing to get my details.

What a horrible bloke! He kept calling non stop and started making all sorts of threats against my missus, saying he knew where we lived and that my whole family would be in trouble. All this just because my wife was a bit blunt and asked if he was cold calling. I reckon from his accent he might be Asian. Thankfully, I was able to block his number after all the hassle. Proper creepy behaviour that.

01618840114 rang me earlier but I didn’t pick up as it was an unfamiliar number. I normally put any strange or suspicious numbers through this site just to be sure, and block them if they come up as spam or scams. Seems like it's best to be cautious with unknown callers these days!

There was this guy with a strong Asian accent, and I couldn't quite catch his name. He claimed to be calling from Energy Savers. I cut him off by asking if he was from around here, which threw him off a bit. At first, he said yes, then quickly changed his mind and just ended the call.

My other half got a call from a guy who had an accent, I think he wasn’t local. He claimed to be from some company called Energy Savers. Oddly, he already knew our last name. He started asking if we used gas or electric heating. When my husband asked the reason for those questions, the guy just said #### #### and then hung up right away. Felt really dodgy and seemed like a total scam to me.

Right from the beginning, it all felt a bit fishy - they asked to speak to the “owner,” but didn’t even know the name! Claimed it was something to do with an energy saving firm, so I told them to buzz off (not very kindly). After that, the calls kept coming, one straight after another. I just hung up every time, but they wouldn’t give up. Eventually, when I picked up again, I put the phone on my stereo speaker and blasted Radio X at full volume - that did the trick and they finally stopped calling!

Got a call a short while ago but didn’t pick up since the number didn’t look familiar. Felt a bit anxious because it showed a Manchester area code and thought maybe it was someone I know. Then I looked it up here and realised it’s linked to one of those energy scams. I’ve been getting loads of these calls recently. Even though I’m on the TPS list, it doesn’t seem to stop them at all.

Right away I could tell this was some kind of dodgy call. The bloke claimed it was about an energy grant and just stuck to the usual script. I told him straight up that he was a scammer, but he wouldn’t admit it. Then out of nowhere he calls me Linda - which I’m definitely not! I challenged him to show he wasn’t a scammer and he just slammed the phone down. Bit worried now… did I really just upset some official government grant team by mistake?

First there was a pause like the auto-dial was setting up, then this person asked if they could speak to whoever lived here. When I asked their name, they said “Richie from the Energy Advice service.” I just told them they were a scammer and to bugger off, then I blocked the number. I’m on the TPS so these kinds of calls should be banned.

I told her I wasn’t interested and cut the call. Then she rang back straight away, begging me not to hang up and saying she had all my details and needed to warn me about my computer. I hung up once more. The phone rang yet again immediately after but this time I just ignored it. No voicemail or message was left either!
