Didn't get any voicemail or anything, but I've read that people think this might be a scam.

Got a call pretending to be from the utility company. I asked some questions and as soon as I pushed back, they quickly ended the call.

Hey, hope you’re doing alright, I’m Nikki. The reason I’m ringing is that your place has appeared on our energy performance list and it looks like you might still have the old-fashioned kind of loft insulation, you know, the yellow or white fluffy stuff on the floor of the loft. Is that what you’ve got? Just so you know, I rent a flat. Yeah, this sounds like one of those dodgy cold call insulation scams.

I got a call from 01788227243, which says it’s from Rugby, but the call was about loft insulation and I’m not sure it’s actually a local number!

Got a call from 01788 227243 on my landline, didn’t recognise the number. Let my answer machine pick it up, no message was left though. They just stayed silent on the line for a few minutes then hung up, maybe hoping I’d be curious enough to ring back. Bit odd if you ask me!

I got a call from this number, but it just went straight to my voicemail and then they hung up. Since they didn’t leave any message, I’d say it’s probably best to be cautious and consider it might be a scam.

It showed as possible spam on my phone so I didn’t pick up and there wasn’t any voicemail either. From what I’ve just seen, it looks like some kind of scam pretending to be my local energy consultant. I don’t even live close to Rugby. Blocked the number straight away along with loads of others...

Got a call saying my place had problems with loft insulation, but I live in a basement flat with no loft at all. Obviously a loft insulation scam - ignored and blocked them straight away.

I answered the phone but didn't say a word, then there was complete silence. After a moment, I just hung up. You can usually tell a scam caller when you stay quiet; they only speak if you do first.

Like always, I didn't pick up 'cause the number looked dodgy. Checked the reviews here first and yep, just another scam call.

Got a call from this number which looked like spam, so I just ignored it. I’ve since blocked it and sent a report to [email protected]. Better safe than sorry with these random calls.

Got a call from someone saying they were an energy advisor, telling me my home needed more insulation. I was driving so it was tricky to end the call quickly, I just stayed quiet and before I could hang up, they ended it themselves! I’d ignored a call from a Shipley number before that’s apparently linked to housing scams, so thinking this might be the same sort of thing.

Just like many others here, I actually picked up the phone when that annoying number called. Got myself all stressed out over some bloke with a hurt hairy crotch! Honestly, it’s ridiculous. I’ve blocked the number straight away and plan on dropping a line to my MP about this nonsense. Enough is enough! ✊

I was just chilling, watching Lorraine Kelly and absentmindedly scratching my hairy ballsack when out of the blue the phone started buzzing. I jumped so quickly I ended up catching my hairy ballsack on a rogue nail and it started bleeding all over my polar bear rug. Honestly, I’m proper annoyed now. Those scam calls are doing my head in - I’ll be writing to my MP because thanks to them I won’t be able to scratch my hairy ballsack for weeks while this cut sorts itself out!

I told them I was living in a tent with no attic or anything, and they just ended the call. Bet they’ll be sorry if I ever put an extension on the place!

Avoid picking up those calls, they're just trying to scam you and make a quick buck. And definitely don’t ring them back - it costs you money, it ain’t a free number.

I got a call at 8:19 this morning but they didn’t leave any voicemail, just hung up straight away. It’s the same deal with loads of other calls I’ve had from numbers like 01793326367, 01706224457, 01782300783, 01727375011, 01708068015 and several more, around 20 or so. Seems like a bunch of similar numbers all doing the same thing. Quite annoying really.

I usually ignore calls from numbers I don't recognise, so I'll just block this one now. From what others have said, it seems to be about loft insulation, but I'm not bothered since it's not even my place.

I have no clue who that was, so I just don’t pick up if I don’t recognise the number. Sorry, but there’s no way for me to figure out who they might be.

I just block any calls from numbers I don’t know, especially when the area code’s nothing like mine. I never pick up on those, and if it’s really important, they’d leave a voicemail, wouldn’t they?

I got a call about loft insulation, but since I don’t even have a loft, there wasn’t much point. They weren’t too forceful about it though.
