3 monthsHe told me his name was Paul but after that, I couldn’t catch a single thing he was saying.Paul4 monthsThey called claiming to be linked to the Government about home energy checks, but then they said they were actually a private firm - never gave any proper name though. They wanted to come round for a "free survey" and just seemed like they were trying to get my details. Definitely felt like a scam.Government4 monthsGot a call with a robot voice just saying "Cheers for finishing our survey, ta-ra" and then it hung up. So weird 🤷♀️4 monthsI got a call from someone in Orkney who never gave their name and just asked me to press #. Felt fishy so I used Callguardian to block them, now they can't ring me back.Orkney4 monthsGot a voicemail from some scammer saying, “Please finish our survey. Cheers.” Total waste of time.4 monthsGot a call from this number again, it just rings and then ends without leaving any voicemail. Definitely another one of those scam calls!4 monthsScam alert! These people keep calling with that "energy advisors" story. They’re using a bunch of numbers from the Orkney area code. They won't stop asking if you own the house. Best thing is don’t get involved, just report everything to the cops. Stay safe! Fraud Tracker.Orkney4 monthsGot a call from this number on my home phone around 10:16 today. My BT phone flagged it as possibly spam, so I ignored it. They never left a voicemail either, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number to protect others from any cheeky scammers.4 monthsGot a cold call outta nowhere about a free loft insulation check, guess what - they claimed there was an issue and pushed some pricey fix I didn’t ask for. Just another pestering call ignoring the TPS list.TPS4 monthsGot a call from a number claiming to be from Orkney, but there was nothing said, just silence. Didn't bother leaving a voicemail either. I was expecting a really important call from someone else, so it was just super irritating and completely wasted my time. I've blocked the number now, but you just know they'll ring again. Honestly, thinking about ditching the landline altogether because of stuff like this.Orkney4 monthsGot a call this morning around 8:45am from someone claiming to be my energy advisor. I had no idea I even had one! I just ended the call straight away since I get these annoying calls at least three times a week. Proper annoying, honestly.4 monthsGot a silent call earlier with no message left. Do they honestly expect us to be glued to the phone all day?5 monthsThere was no voicemail or anything left, so I'm guessing this is just some kind of scam call. I've decided to block the number.5 monthsGot a call that claimed to be from Capital Connect, but it was clearly a scam. I just blocked the number and filed a report. Avoid answering these!Capital Connect5 monthsGot a call on my home phone flagged as maybe a nuisance. I didn’t answer it, and they didn't leave any voicemail either.5 monthsGot a call from some robotic voice saying "Thank you for taking part in our survey" and then the line just went dead. Totally confused me since I can't recall doing any survey at all. Decided to check here to see if anyone knows what the point of that weird call was. I'm left wondering what they expected to gain from ringing me for no reason!5 monthsThis number keeps popping up for the last few weeks. Every time I pick up, the call just ends straight away. Not sure who it might be, but for me it’s pretty annoying. I’m labelling it as Harassment since it keeps bothering me like this.5 monthsGot a call showing an Orkney number, felt a bit dodgy so I chose not to pick up. They've been blocked now.Orkney5 monthsGot a call marked as nuisance, but I didn’t pick up. They didn’t leave any voicemail either.5 monthsMy landline rang but I ignored it as I normally would, they just hung up right when my answerphone started. No voicemail left or anything. Seems like they’re just trying to hunt down customers. I really don't get how people can earn a living by doing this nonstop these days? Sadly, it’s mostly the elderly or vulnerable who end up falling for this kind of annoying sales tactics and pestering calls.5 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be an energy advisor in South West England, but they said they were from Orkney? Seemed a bit dodgy so I’ve just blocked the number now.South West EnglandOrkney5 monthsThe call came up as unknown so I just ignored it. They didn't bother to leave any voicemail either. Since there wasn’t any info linked to the number, I wasn’t able to block it.5 monthsMy mum got a call from someone claiming to be an energy advisor in our area, saying she was the house owner. She's elderly, but thankfully she told them to buzz off and ended the call. This was the nth time this person rang her. Clearly just another scam. I've now blocked the number for good.5 monthsI called the number because I've got family up in Orkney, but it was just some robot voice talking so I ended up hanging up. Definitely not anyone related or a neighbour, so didn’t bother.Orkney5 monthsI’ve never set foot in Orkney and I don’t know a soul from there! Pretty sure this is just some scammer trying to pull a fast one!😠Orkney5 monthsI didn’t pick up since EE marked the call as "Nuisance" and no voicemail was left. With so many people searching this number, I’m leaning towards it being dodgy.EE5 monthsGot a call from this number at 8:09 in the morning - who calls that early anyway? I usually get scam calls almost daily. I just didn’t pick up. Why isn’t anything done about these scams? There has to be some way to stop these annoying pests.5 monthsMy mum got a call from someone claiming to be doing a survey, but she’s quite elderly and ended up just hanging up straight away.5 monthsGot a voicemail that just repeated the word SURVEY in this really mechanical tone since I didn’t pick up. Definitely sounded like an automated call.5 monthsSomeone rang me claiming they handled energy savings around here in Surrey and asked if I was the boiler owner. I told her I’m on the TPS list, so I didn’t get why she’s calling me. She just ended the call straight away.SurreyTPS6 monthsWell, I got a call recently from a company claiming they dealt with energy savings in my locality. It showed up on my phone as coming from Orkney, which seemed odd since I'm based in Manchester. I asked the woman on the line how they managed to work in my area from so far away. She was polite but paused for a few seconds like she wasn’t expecting the question. Then she just said they wouldn’t carry on the chat and quickly ended the call. Quite odd behaviour, if you ask me!OrkneyManchester6 monthsHeads up - scammers have been ringing from numbers starting with 01856, and Orkney Island Council along with the Police and Trading Standards know about it. Just watch out and stay cautious!Orkney Island CouncilPolice and Trading Standards6 monthsGot a scammer ringing me up at 9 in the morning. I don’t have any mates from the Orkney Isles at all. Straight to BLOCKED.Orkney Isles6 monthsThey just said "Thanks for doing the survey" and then instantly ended the call.Submit Your Own Report (01856 898560)
