Phone number ☎️ 01642074172 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls about loft insulation or energy services, often using silent calls, automated dialling, or pre-recorded messages. Callers claim to be local energy advisors or linked to government schemes, asking intrusive questions or urging home inspections. Many receive no message or just silence, with calls frequently ignored or blocked. Despite being registered on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and marked as ex-directory, these nuisance calls continue, often changing numbers to evade blocks.

The general consensus is the scam attempts are frequent, intrusive, and exploit vulnerable people while TPS mainly blocks only legitimate sales calls.

2 monthsAnswered the call but couldn't hear anyone on the other end.2 monthsGot a call from 01642074172 which we dont know as a local number. It just rang a few times then stopped, no message left or anything. Thought it was dodgy so I've blocked it now.3 monthsGot a call from this number out of the blue, but no one left a message. Feels like one of those dodgy scam calls. Lately, I've been getting loads of calls from fake landline numbers just like this.3 monthsGot a call from some people claiming to be from a government scheme about loft insulation, but it felt dodgy. They kept asking really personal stuff about my house and pressured me to share ownership info. These calls are super pushy and clearly don’t care about the Telephone Preference Service (UK), as I’m signed up but still get bombarded. They also ignore the rules by calling my ex-directory landline number. When my phone rings, I usually answer and just wait for them to start talking first before saying anything.Telephone Preference ServiceUK3 monthsGot a call on my landline yesterday, just the usual ringing and then nothing - no voicemail or message at all. Looked it up here today and turns out it’s a scam. Best to steer clear of it.3 monthsGot a call where there was nothing but silence for about 30 seconds, then it just ended on its own. Pretty odd experience.3 monthsHave a look at the comments around 4 and 14 spots down for info about this scam, plus how you can report ANY dodgy calls, texts, or emails using the legit police and Ofcom channels set up by the previous government. Honestly, reporting every bit makes a big difference in tracking and sorting these things out.ANYOfcom3 monthsPicked up the phone but there was silence on the other end so I didn’t say anything. Eventually the call just ended on its own. Definitely seemed fishy.3 monthsI didn’t pick up, decided to check the number on this site first. Pretty clear it’s a scam.3 monthsAnnoying scammers, for sure. I’ve already told the police about them.3 monthsThey rang me yesterday, I just let the answer machine pick up but didn’t leave a message.3 monthsThe energy advisor from around here has rung me up yet again. I try to block the numbers but they keep coming from different ones. This kind of pestering really shouldn’t be legal, it’s just harassment plain and simple. Someone really needs to put a stop to this company!!!!3 monthsRing but no voice note or anything. Feels like one of them dodgy scams to me.3 monthsI answered the call but said nothing. It sounded like some sort of auto dialler because it hung up after a short moment. The number was from the Middlesbrough area.Middlesbrough3 monthsGot one of those annoying calls again, all about some big promises but wanting heaps of cash. Best to just ignore or hang up right away.3 monthsI let it ring out and didn’t pick up. The voicemail was just dead silence. Pretty clear this was yet another scam call.3 monthsOn 25th March 2026, Wednesday, a call came through from this number around 1:53pm. A womans voice recording started talking energy stuff. I just ended the call right away. Blocked the number since then.3 monthsMy home phone hardly ever rings, so when I saw this number, I didn’t pick up cos I didn’t know it. They never left a voicemail or nothing. Sounds like one of those annoying calls from what others have said.3 monthsThis "local energy advisor" lady with that Aussie accent keeps calling me nonstop. I've blocked her number like three times now, but she just keeps popping up because she's using some call rerouting service. Honestly, she's proper clueless and it's driving me up the wall.3 monthsI don’t recognise this number at all since I’ve never shared my landline. Plus, I’m registered with TPS, so almost every call I get is just some telemarketer or rubbish spam. I just don’t pick up and block them straight away.TPS3 monthsOh no, it's that "Jo" lady back on the line! You can spot her pre-recorded message straight away, even though she calls from a new number each time. They must have loads of phone lines, because she keeps popping up with a different contact number. The 'chat' - if you can call a recorded message that - was about my roof insulation being dangerous. Quite funny, as that's exactly what I thought about her call!Jo3 monthsThis number has rung me several times but there’s just complete silence when I pick up, so I’ve ended up blocking it. Can anyone tell me why the TPS isn’t stopping these calls from coming through?TPS3 monthsThis number has rung me a few times, but there was nothing on the other end, just silence. I even tried calling back once, but the voicemail there was silent as well. Quite odd, really.3 monthsShe called asking if I owned the house, but the moment I questioned who she was, she just ended the call.3 monthsI was out when they rang, and they didn’t bother leaving a message. Figured it was just another telemarketer, probably about loft insulation or some energy deal, cos I've been getting loads of those calls recently.3 monthsA woman with a British accent called me, claiming their records indicated I'd got some outdated loft insulation. When I asked her which database she was checking, she didn't really answer.3 monthsGot a call from a supposed energy company, asking if I was the house owner. It was pretty clear it was some automated dialler bot since this number was previously on the do not call list and even registered with TPS. They refused to say who exactly was calling, only claiming to be a local energy provider and telling me my name was on a list for a loft insulation check that supposedly needed updating. Total nonsense - if they really had my details, why didn’t they know my name or where I live?TPS3 monthsGot a call from a woman claiming to be Jo, an energy advisor for the local area. She asked if I owned the property, but I said no, and then she just hung up straight away with no apology or any explanation. The phone showed "nuisance call" as well. Now I’m getting calls from a different landline number that definitely sounded like the same lady from 0203 4249322, doing exactly the same thing. Another number to block until they switch it up again.Jo3 monthsNot a single word from the other side, I just stayed quiet and heard nothing back. Pretty sure it’s one of those automated dialers or something like that. Sorted it by adding the number straight to my block list!3 monthsGot a call out of nowhere about removing our loft insulation, they said our address was listed with them and claimed the insulation could be harmful to our health. Bit suspicious if you ask me.3 monthsPicked up, but no one spoke on the line. Instant block from me 🤬3 monthsI ignored the call from the unfamiliar number - they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail - seemed a bit dodgy to me.3 monthsNo message was left, just silence followed by the call abruptly ending. This has happened to me previously so I’ve decided to block the number now! Honestly, it felt quite unnerving.3 monthsGot a call from someone saying they worked for my energy provider, but they couldn't even say if I owned the place. I said I wasn't keen, but she kept going on about it. Claimed the check was free and if the inspector found anything wrong, they'd tell me what to do next. I tried telling her again I wasn't interested, then she just ended the call. Sounds like a typical scam attempt to me.3 monthsSomeone rang saying they were from a 'local energy advisor' or something like that. I asked a couple of questions and they quickly lost their enthusiasm. Pretty clear it was a scam to me.3 monthsEarlier, I left a comment and now I’ve seen someone else wondering why the TPS doesn’t block these calls. Honestly, I’m curious too, why aren’t they doing more to stop them? Maybe we ought to reach out to Perogie on YouTube about this.TPSPerogie3 monthsI wasnt able to pick up in time when the phone rang, luckily. They didn’t bother to leave a message either, so to me, it’s just another annoying call to ignore.3 monthsThese annoying calls won't stop, I swear I get a bunch of them almost every week. It's like they have some setting turned on to bother me nonstop.3 monthsI got a call about putting in cavity wall insulation, and they were going on about how dangerous fibreglass is. Sounded a bit dodgy to me. Definitely felt like a sales pitch trying to scare me off one thing and push another. Be careful if anyone rings you up saying stuff like that!3 monthsPicked up the call but heard nothing, nobody said a word. Decided to block the number to stop it ringing again.3 monthsAbout the TPS - it does precisely what it's designed for, so please check the terms you agreed to. It blocks genuine sales calls from official companies, as well as legitimate donation asks from charities and political campaigns. That’s the limit of its function. If you want to tackle scammers, you have to report every call, text, or email to the official authorities like the police and Ofcom - they have systems in place thanks to the previous government to track and handle these frauds. I’ll share a separate post with instructions on how to report scams properly.TPSOfcom3 monthsThere was no one on the other end, so I just ended the call. Honestly, I can’t wait to get rid of our landline since it’s just full of spam calls now!3 monthsGot a call from someone wanting to speak to the homeowner about roof insulation. They were also asking for an update on a previous inspection report. Pretty sure it was one of those annoying scam or nuisance calls.Submit Your Own Report (01642 074172)
