01798888509 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01798888509 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving unsolicited calls, often silent or featuring automated female voices claiming to be energy advisers or inspectors offering free loft insulation surveys. These calls are widely recognised as scams, frequently exploiting concerns about hazardous insulation and falsely referencing government or health organisations. Callers typically refuse to identify their company or hang up when questioned, with no messages left on answerphones. Blocking numbers proves ineffective, as scammers employ numerous spoofed or machine-generated numbers. Victims are strongly advised to avoid engagement, never confirm personal details, and report every incident promptly to official police cybercrime reporting services to aid investigations. Collective reporting is crucial to combat these ongoing fraudulent practices and protect the public.

It was a silent ring, probably one of those scam calls. I’m just going to block it.

Was ages before they actually spoke, then this weird robot came on, sounded like some elderly woman. It kept asking me to spell out words it couldn’t catch properly. Had a bit of fun feeding it rubbish replies. Looks like they’re trying to catch folks interested in “loft insulation checks”. Total scam if you ask me.

Didn’t pick up as the number was unfamiliar. No voicemail left either. Seems like it might be some sort of scam call.

Got a random call from this number the other day. They stayed quiet for about 20 seconds before saying something about a free loft check, claiming that British Lung Foundation and GovUK are making folks get their loft insulation checked. Definitely sounded dodgy to me. I really can’t understand why anyone would waste their time with scams when there are loads of proper jobs out there.

I got a call from 01798 88 509, but the person wouldn’t say which company or organisation they were from, just trying to sell some kind of insulation. I told them they were breaking GDPR rules by not identifying themselves properly, and then they just hung up.

I got a call about some government funding for loft insulation. I said I wasn’t interested, but the lady kept pushing how it’d be great for my place. Eventually, when I managed to speak, I told her to remove my number since, firstly, I live in a housing association flat and secondly, I don’t even have a loft. She got a bit annoyed and was adamant I did have a loft!

I have no acquaintances in this region, so I chose not to respond and subsequently blocked the number. How on earth do these despicable individuals manage to acquire details of TPS registered or ex-directory numbers? Perusing these forums reassures me that ignoring their call was the right move. A multitude of others are labelling it as an energy scam. I've checked previous digits and they appear to be from the same cohorts operating under various guises from different spots. I'm absolutely fed up with email scams masquerading in numerous forms, often with fraudsters posing as contacts, feigning to send images, all in an effort to lure you into clicking on dubious links. It's high time we put an end to this nonsense once and for all, with significantly stricter penalties for these con artists.

Got a call from some so-called energy group, but it felt like a total scam or just plain harassment. I’ve blocked the number now. Honestly, all the info about grants and stuff is easily found online. Just make sure to only trust government-approved organisations. Proper companies don’t bother cold calling you out of the blue.
4 years
Total con. These home insulation people tried to scare me, saying my current insulation was unsafe and had to be replaced straight away. I asked them for the exact address they meant, but as soon as I did, they just ended the call. Proper dodgy scammers taking advantage of folks like this.

Got a call from a woman with a pretty neutral accent, said she's an energy advisor talking about dangerous loft insulation stuff and mentioned some stats from the British Lung Foundation. She asked if I wanted a free loft survey because there's a surveyor nearby. Wasn't pushy or anything, but honestly, seemed a bit off to me!
