Best to just block it or pick up and mess about a bit.4 yearsFraudsters trying to con people.4 yearsI’ve put them on my blocked list.5 yearsGot a call from some bloke who had the wrong postcode and started asking how old my windows were. He said I could get about £300 back by recycling them if I replaced them with new ones. I mentioned I might be able to get a government grant for new windows instead, and then he just hung up on me! Proper scam from some guy called Andy!Andy5 yearsI picked up and the person just said “oops, wrong number” and then they hung up right away...5 yearsThis bloke said he could clear debts, had my name and postcode right, but then just cut me off suddenly when I told him I didn't owe anything.5 yearsPhone rang once then got cut off as soon as I answered. Feels like a dodgy scam call to me.5 yearsGot a call from a firm named Energy Solutions about some scheme to help buy energy saving stuff. Told the woman on the phone that I’d already looked into it and didn’t meet the criteria. She kept pushing to find out if I owned my home or not. Not entirely sure if it was a dodgy call, but it was definitely unsolicited and seemed to go against Ofcom’s rules. This isn’t the first time I’ve had calls like this from the same number, even though both my landline and mobile are on the TPS list.Energy SolutionsOfcomTelephone Preference Service5 yearsGot a voicemail but couldnt make out what it said, and with my energy company shutting down recently, feels like it could be a scam.5 yearsI blocked this number a couple days back but today I noticed a missed call and a voicemail from those idiots!!5 yearsGot a polite Scottish lady claiming to be from the Help to Buy scheme. Sounded just like a call I got a couple of days ago about roughcasting and double glazing. Blocked the number now, no thanks! 👍5 yearsGot calls from this number two times in just a couple days, but when I picked up, there was absolutely no one on the line. Clearly some dodgy scammer hoping I'll ring back. Bloody crooks!!!5 yearsJust a quick ring, like they wanted me to call back or something! Blocked immediately.5 yearsWas on my work line so didn’t catch their call on my mobile. Glad I checked the comments, saved me a headache!5 yearsGot a call from a lass with a Scottish voice saying she was from some energy efficiency firm, asking if I owned my place. But I’m in a housing association, so I told her that and she just slammed the phone down. Proper rude, sounds like a scam to me.5 yearsGot a call from a woman with a Scottish accent. She knew my name but the call ended quickly when she just hung up.5 yearsGot a ring from this number but couldn’t answer cos I was up a ladder!

Upon returning the call, a recorded voice mentioned that a representative would reach out again.5 yearsThey used my name and claimed to be from a roofing firm checking if anyone's double glazing was over ten years old. When I asked where they got my number, the bloke just said he didn’t know. I told him Ofcom bans these unsolicited calls, so I wasn’t interested in continuing. He then said if everyone felt like me, he’d be out of work.OFCOM5 yearsphoned me while i was out, didnt leave a message tho. just another one to add to the blocked list.5 yearsThey keep ringing me, pretty sure it's one of those dodgy scams!5 yearsblocked the scam and reported it straight to actionfraud, hope they sort it out quick.Action Fraud5 yearsGot another dodgy call scolding my elderly parents on their landline.
