01997978112 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01997978112 👆 is reported as persistently making nuisance calls, often silent or abruptly ending when answered. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, calls continue, frequently involving cold calls about solar panels, boiler safety, or home energy services. Callers sometimes claim local affiliations but use numbers with misleading or spoofed area codes. Several users report polite but intrusive approaches, with some callers seeming untrained or scripted. Attempts to return calls mostly lead to disconnections or suspended numbers. The repeated, unsolicited nature of these calls causes significant frustration, especially for vulnerable individuals. Blocking the number, using call screening services, and reporting to relevant authorities such as TPS or Ofcom are advisable steps to mitigate the disturbance.

Keeps ringin but either stays quiet or just ends the call when I answer.

I picked up the phone but got nothing, just silence. Since I'm registered on the TPS, I figured I wouldn’t be getting any sales calls, so this was odd. I decided to look up the number and turns out others have reported it too. Lucky for me it just went quiet - it’s probably some dodgy cold call or a scam trying to ring.

Somebody from Phoenix Boilers called me, going on about how dangerous gas was. I told her to think about what kind of fines would land on them if loads of folks on the Telephone Preferences Service got annoyed and reported their annoying calls.

At first, I thought nothing weird was going on (until I saw this thread). The caller was a woman with a clear English accent, which made me less suspicious. She wanted to talk to my mum, which caught me off guard since she passed away almost 40 years ago. When I asked her again who she needed, she repeated the question about whether I was the homeowner. Once I explained about my mum, she said sorry. I asked her to take my number off their list. I'm just going to block the number now so if she rings back, I won’t have to deal with it.

Got a call from some place in Phoenix about checking my boiler and gas safety. They wanted to know how old my boiler was. Said they have a system that blocks TPS-listed numbers, but clearly that’s not working properly! The person was really polite and had a proper English accent, not like the usual calls I get from India or nearby countries.

I got a call from a woman who said she was nearby doing checks on boiler safety and she even knew my name. I told her my boiler gets checked every year and I’ve got a gas alarm too, so I didn’t see the point in any extra check ups. After that, I just said thanks and hung up. She spoke with a clear English accent. Seems like this number is linked to loads of different services or scams, so be careful.

Got a call from this number on 18th March 2016. I didn’t pick up as I didn’t have a clue who it was. Turns out it’s from Stratpeffer in Scotland, but I don’t know anyone from there so it must’ve been some annoying spam or something.

They rang me once more! I’m also on the TPS list, mind you. If you manage to have a conversation with them, do make a note of the company’s name and where they’re based, and make sure to report them to the TPS. They do respond to complaints and take it seriously.

I just got a call from this number but there was no one on the line. It seems to have a dialling code for Strathpeffer, a quaint little village up in the north of Scotland, home to around 1,469 folks. I suspect this number might be one of those dodgy spoofed ones, as when I tried ringing it back, I was met with a message saying that the call couldn't be connected. Quite odd, really!

I've got an answering machine set up, so if they hang up, they just end up calling back later or on another day. It's hilarious, really, because one particular agent acts as if they’ve never bothered me to distraction before and just starts the whole spiel all over again!

Absolutely frustrating! As someone with significant mobility issues (I'm officially registered as disabled), it's incredibly irritating to finally reach the phone only for it to ring when I'm nowhere near.

She mentioned that their firm was located in Cheshire, which I found intriguing.

Quite baffling, really.

I recently received a call from this particular number, where the caller inquired for "a Mr or Mrs (followed by the surname)." Upon responding with "speaking," she promptly disconnected the call. The caller appeared to be a British woman. I attempted to return the call, only to be met with a recorded message stating, "this service cannot be connected." It's high time that proper authorities took action against these unsolicited callers and call centres. We, the public, feel utterly powerless to put an end to this nuisance, and it's growing tiresome that we’re left to handle these rogue operators ourselves.
12 years
I've made up my mind to tackle those pesky unsolicited calls head-on...

Now, I understand it’s a touch unreasonable to pin the blame solely on the poor soul in the call centre (let's say "representative" for a bit more civility), but I've recently adopted a rather amusing technique inspired by an old BT tip for handling rude callers: I've purchased a whistle!

For those who haven’t heard of this strategy, it’s quite simple: pick up the phone, gauge the intention of the call, and then choose whether to blast the whistle into the receiver. Trust me, you'll be quite surprised at the dramatic drop in unwelcome calls!

I apologise for the inaccuracies in my previous message. I’ve revised it as follows: When I took the call, the person on the other end inquired, "Am I speaking with Mr ***?" I replied that I was not. She then proceeded to ask if I owned the property. I mentioned that it felt like a cold call and reminded her that I was on the Telephone Preference Service list, so she really ought not to be contacting me. Shortly after, she hung up with no apology or any semblance of courtesy.

At that point, she hung up sharply, completely lacking any form of politeness or an apology.

Similar to another commenter, I was under the impression that one had to renew their registration with the TPS annually. It seems like this is what those who haven’t quite grasped the job market are led to believe. From this point on, if they decide to pester me, I’ll just return the favour with a loud whistle in their ears! I’ve made it abundantly clear that I wish to be taken off their list-perhaps it was obtained through the TPS-and I have no interest in having solar panels installed by them!
