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.

I’ve had calls from them both yesterday and today, and each time they didn’t even try to get round BT Call Guardian. Honestly, having something that filters your calls like that is the only way to deal with this rubbish at the moment.

They called me once more even though I’m on the TPS list. If you manage to get them on the phone, try to find out their company’s name and where they’re based. Then, make sure you report them to the TPS - they do actually follow up on complaints.

Got a call from this number but nothing was said, just silence. The area code says it’s from Strathpeffer up in northern Scotland, which is a tiny place with only around 1,500 people. When I tried calling back, I heard a message saying the call can't be completed, so I’m guessing this number is faked or spoofed.

Got a call from this number but there was no sound at all. Noticed the area code is for Strathpeffer, somewhere up north in Scotland with just under 1,500 people living there. Seems like the number might be fake since when I tried calling back, it said the number wasn’t reachable.

Got a call from some solar panel place claiming they were based in Sandbach, but the phone number definitely wasn’t from there. Total scam about some government scheme for solar panels. This guy, James, sounded really new to the whole cold calling script, like he’d just started. Problem is, I don’t even own a home and I’m on the TPS, so the call was pretty annoying.

It's so frustrating! I have really bad mobility issues and I'm officially disabled, so trying to get to the phone is a proper effort. Then it only starts ringing when I've wandered away from it, and usually it's just some pointless nuisance or an unknown number. Honestly, it's not fair at all.

Tried calling back and got a recorded message saying "this service cannot be connected". Honestly, it's time for someone in charge to put an end to these telemarketers. We've got zero effective options left to block them and it's maddening that us regular folks have to be the ones trying to police these calls.

Recently, I’ve taken matters into my own hands when it comes to those annoying cold callers... I get it, it’s a bit harsh on the poor call centre worker at the other end, but I’ve started following an old BT tip for handling aggressive telemarketers - I’ve got myself a whistle! If you don’t know this trick, it’s pretty simple: pick up, figure out what they want, and then have a good blow on the whistle right into the phone. You won’t believe how quickly the number of unwanted calls drops!

I made some mistakes in what I wrote before, so I’ve corrected it now: When I picked up the phone, the person asked, “Is this Mr ***?” I told them no. Then they asked if I owned the house.

I was told, just like someone else here mentioned, that you need to sign up with the TPS every year, which seems a bit off to me. Maybe that’s just what these telemarketers who can’t land decent jobs get told to say. Now, when they ring me, I just blow a whistle right in their ear - if they wanna bother me, I’ll give it right back to them! I've told them loads of times to take me off their list (probably one they got from the TPS anyway) and that I’m not interested in any solar panel installations from them.

Had a call from this number and a woman on the line claimed to be from a firm called "Solar Energy". When I mentioned the Telephone Preference Service, she told me you had to renew your registration annually, which supposedly explained why my number showed up on their list. That’s not right at all, as once you’re signed up with TPS for a home number, there’s no need to keep renewing it every year.

I just got a call from a number that looks like the one someone else mentioned here, where the person claimed they were from a government-approved scheme for new boilers.
