4 yearsGot a call from 02038832196 on 11th October 2022 around 11.50 but I didn’t pick up. As soon as the answering machine started, they hung up. Feels like one of those annoying scammers or something.4 yearsSomeone called saying he was Chris, said something about energy efficiency or whatever. No company details at all, so I just hung up immediately!Chris4 yearsThis number showed up with three missed calls on my phone, but thankfully 'Call Guardian' stopped them ringing through. After seeing what others have said about it, I've decided to block it for good now.Call Guardian4 yearsI wasn’t in when the phone rang, an answerphone picked up but didn’t get a single word recorded. This insulation scammer keeps ringing me multiple times daily, even though I’ve put the number on my CPR Call Blocker. Has this “Chris” bloke figured out how to dodge it? He’s persistent despite me telling him I’m wise to his game, so either he’s a bit daft, has a bad memory, or knows something I’m not aware of. I reckon he’s just plain daft.Chris4 yearsDidn’t leave a voicemail but cheers everyone for the heads up about the scam, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.4 yearsBlimey, Chris, this is now the fifth time I've got a call from some so-called “My local energy” assistant... total SCAM alert!Chris4 yearsThey kept ringing about some insulation check, seemed a bit dodgy to me. Might be one of those scams.4 yearsPicked up and got straight to the answer machine. No voicemail was left, so I’m guessing it’s probably a scam.4 yearsGot got by some insulation scam - total rip-off!4 yearsGot a call from this number thrice today but they never left a message on the voicemail. I'm guessing it might be some kind of scam.4 yearsThey keep calling me a few times each day. I just let it go to voicemail and then they put the phone down.4 yearsSomebody rang saying they were an energy consultant, but when I asked for the property address or even my name, they just couldn’t answer. Once I pressed them on which property they were talking about, they cut off right away. Definitely sounds like a scam to me - best to just ignore and hang up.4 yearsHe asked if I owned the place, mentioning he thought I might have used the government scheme for loft insulation. I told him I was already sorted and didn’t need anything more. Then he just hung up without saying anything else.4 yearsDefinitely a scam, stay away from these calls.4 yearsGot another ring from Chris, my so called energy advisor around here. He just assumes I own the place, so I said back to him, “Do you really think so?” then he started going on about loft insulation. I asked who he was working for and he just dropped the call. It’s always the same number and the same guy’s voice every few months. Honestly, feels like I know the bloke, but can’t figure out what the scam actually is.Chris4 yearsI didn’t pick up when this number called me. Later, I searched it on Google and found out it’s connected to an immigration and asylum service based in London. Here’s their site if anyone’s interested: https://www.rainbowimmigration.co.uk/London4 yearsGot a call about loft insulation earlier but when I looked up the number it’s actually linked to some immigration advice company. Definitely smells like a scam to me.4 yearsHad a call from Chris claiming to be about loft insulation, sounded like a scam to me. Mentioned I was on the TPS but he just kept going, so I ended up just hanging up. Total waste of time!Chris4 yearsThis looks like it could be some kinda ripoff!4 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, rang one time, but they didn’t leave any voicemail.4 yearsPhone guy: Hi, it’s Chris here, calling about your home. Me: If you know it’s my home, then you must know my name and where I live, right? Phone guy: We’re nearby, just offering some insulation to save energy... Me: So you actually don’t know who I am or my address, do you Chris, or whatever name you’re using? Phone line dead.CallerChris4 yearsHad a call from 02038832196 recently. About a year back, someone called my landline and said their name was Chris, sounded familiar reading these comments. Now looks like the same bloke is ringing my mobile too, from different numbers like 0161 4649092. Seems like it's one person using loads of different numbers. Proper annoying these calls, and there’s plenty of other numbers he’s been using as well.Chris4 yearsFor weeks now, pretty much every day, I’ve been getting calls from all sorts of folks saying they’re with an energy company or something like that.4 yearsafter a few seconds of quiet, this bloke suddenly said he was an energy advisor and immediately started going on about “are you the home owner blah blah...” didn’t even give me a chance to speak. i finally told him i knew he was a scam and he just hung up on me.4 yearsPurported to be an energy consultant, I questioned him about it, and then he abruptly terminated the call.4 yearsThis number keeps calling me three times a day without fail. It’s on my blocked list, yet they persist.4 yearsThey really oughta cut off all them scam callers for breaking the rules.4 yearsPicked up the phone and it was dead silent, no one spoke.4 yearsThey rang me about eight times today but I never picked up.4 yearsIt's been five calls from this number just today! I've chosen not to pick up, yet it's really starting to get on my nerves.4 yearsGot a call from 02038832196 this evening, but Call Guardian blocked it right away. After seeing a few other reviews, I’ve decided to block the number myself now.Call Guardian4 yearsEvery time I pick up, they just quickly hang up on me.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Chris, said he was the local energy advisor. He assumed I owned the house and couldn’t even remember my name when I asked. When I challenged who he thought I was, he hung up straight away. I looked up the number and it’s linked to an immigration legal advice office. Tried ringing back but the number’s been cut off for “breaking their terms and conditions.” The voice was so scripted and robotic, could’ve been a recording - definitely felt like a scam.Chris4 yearsI've received calls from this number multiple times now - four yesterday and already twice today. It's rather irritating, especially since I'm feeling under the weather at the moment. 020388321964 yearsThis number has been calling non-stop. I usually block any number I don't recognise, and seeing as I’m based in Yorkshire, this one coming from London seemed odd. Makes me think it’s just some random dialler keeping tabs on people. Anyway, it’s firmly blocked now, so no more bother.YorkshireLondon4 yearsI've had 6 calls so far and never answered. It just stops ringing after about 8 rings - pretty sure it's a scam.4 yearsI've been receiving phone calls almost daily from someone claiming to be my energy advisor for the local area, asking about my loft insulation. It's quite vexing, really, as I've got them blocked yet they still persist in calling. It’s become a complete annoyance!4 yearsI've received a total of six calls today from this number, each coming through every hour since 9 this morning. They hang up as soon as my voicemail starts.4 yearsJust got a call from someone calling himself "Chris," claiming to be an energy advisor but totally dodging any mention of who he's actually representing. He kept trying to fish for my details without sharing much in return, which set alarm bells ringing for me - any proper firm would be upfront about their identity. What's weirder is that the number showed up as belonging to Rainbow Immigration Legal Services. That left me thinking what’s really going on here. Anyway, I’ve flagged the number as a risk and would advise others to be wary.ChrisRainbow Immigration Legal Services4 yearsI've received a multitude of calls from this number, and out of sheer curiosity, I ultimately picked up the phone. The chap on the other end just rambled on about home insulation, peppering his spiel with some rather vague inquiries about my property. But mind you, he also squeezed in a few personal questions along the way, which gave me the distinct impression that he was up to no good, possibly even fishing for my identity. When I pressed him for details about who he represented, as well as his name and where he was based, he swiftly decided to hang up. Take heed: do not divulge any personal information to these unscrupulous individuals!4 yearsGot six calls from this number already today.4 yearsI picked up after they called me for the fourth time just this morning. The bloke said his name was Chris and claimed to be an energy advisor from round here. I told him I’d done a bit of digging online and wasn’t interested, then told him to shove off. He suddenly went silent and then just dropped the call. Been getting calls from him for days now, proper irritating.Chris4 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Chris claiming to be our neighbourhood energy consultant. Seemed like a total con, so I hung up right away.Chris4 yearsThis number won’t stop calling me.4 yearsAbout thirty minutes ago, I got a phone call from this number. I couldn't pick it up as I was tied up with something else. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail.4 yearsLooks like yet another dodgy call about loft insulation. I've been inundated with these lately!4 yearsI’ve been receiving calls from this number four or five times daily! Every time I pick up, the person on the other end claims to be an energy consultant operating in my neighbourhood. They proceed to rattle off a monotonous spiel about loft insulation, cavity wall upgrades, windows, and a whole heap of other nonsense. No matter how kindly I express my lack of interest, they just carry on reading their script! Eventually, I have to hang up in frustration. Nowadays, I tend to ignore the number altogether-unless I'm particularly bored, in which case I jest that I’m with the Metropolitan Police, and that usually sends them packing!Metropolitan Police4 yearsThey keep calling me over and over again!4 yearsIf he really worked for my local energy company, why was he calling from a London number? It felt like he was trying to get info about my energy use. I told him I wasn’t giving out any details and to stop calling me. Definitely an energy scam!EnergyLondon4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be “Chris, an energy advisor nearby” and it felt so sketchy. I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam.Chris4 yearsThey keep calling me at various times throughout the day, and although I’ve stopped picking up, they just won’t take the hint and carry on.4 yearsSCAM: This guy said, "Hi, I’m Chris, an energy consultant around your postcode." I couldn't help but chuckle, it sounded so rubbish and generic. I asked him what exactly my postcode was and he just kept repeating the same spiel! It definitely sounded like a live person at first, but I'm sure it’s just a recorded message that switches depending on your answer.Chris4 yearsMy elderly folks got calls from a guy named Chris, claiming to be an energy consultant from around here. He rang them three times, but when I requested info about his company, he just ended the call. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.Chris4 yearsThey keep calling non stop, just ignore it coz it’s probably a scam.4 yearsThis number keeps pestering my mobile and it's becoming quite tiresome, especially since it resembles another number I’ve been receiving calls from.4 yearsGot two calls earlier from someone named Chris, about some government loft insulation scheme.Chris4 yearsI picked up the phone and a bloke called Chris said he was the energy savings advisor for our area, but the area code was way off - like over 100 miles away. When I asked for more details, he just hung up on me. This is the third time we've received a call from this number or something close, but the other times no one answered. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of scam, so I've blocked the number now. 020 3883 2196Chris4 yearsI received a rather chatty gentleman on the line claiming to be the ‘local energy advisor for my neighbourhood’ and asked me to verify my ownership of the property. I refrained from sharing any details about myself and promptly inquired about the name of his company; he didn’t provide an answer. I then probed whether he was simply a spammer, at which point there was a lengthy pause, yet he remained on the line. I firmly told him he was nothing more than a parasite and stated my intention to report the call, after which he abruptly hung up. I would strongly encourage anyone else dealing with similar unsolicited calls to take the same route. Keep your personal information to yourself and firmly state that you never requested the call, regardless of their attempts to confirm your identity.4 yearsThe call just went dead all of a sudden.4 yearsGot a call from 02038832196 about some free energy check for my house. I wasn’t interested so just hung up straight away! Pretty clear it was a scam.4 yearsSome bloke called Chris rang up claiming to be from the local energy saving team, though he never mentioned any company. He kept asking if I was the homeowner but never checked my name or anything, sounded like they would accept anyone pretending. When I asked which company he was with, he just hung up. And funny enough, the number showed a code from over 250 miles away - hardly local at all...Chris4 yearsRegarding the comment below about immigration, I did a bit of searching too, and I reckon either they’ve faked it to appear like that or something similar. I've had this happen before where I called a number back and it turned out to be just some random person confused about why I called. Seems they might have used the same trick... or possibly set up a dodgy website. Either way, I answered and no one spoke, so I'm just going to block the number.4 yearsCatch you on Tuesday then!4 yearsI answered the call, but at first, there was silence. Just as I was about to end the call, I heard someone speaking, so I quickly ended the call.4 yearsGot a call from some energy company trying to sell me something, but honestly, the guy was so polite it was kinda funny - didn’t sound like your usual scammer at all. Made me wanna tell him to just give up cold calling and maybe work for the British Red Cross or some decent charity instead. Either way, I blocked the number in the end.British Red Cross4 yearsI got three calls from someone saying they were an energy consultant called Chris. Every time, it was just the exact same automated message. No matter what I said, they just kept repeating the message or pressed a button and played the phrase “let me check your details.” Proper frustrating!Chris4 yearsGot called twice this morning from this number, both times within an hour but they didn’t leave any voicemail on my answerphone. Seems like a proper nuisance and I’m guessing it’s some sort of scam, so I’m going to block it from now on. Watch out for it!4 yearsThis number just rang me up on my home phone - some bloke called Chris said he was from the local energy provider and was telling me to get my loft insulation checked every couple of years. I politely told him I wasn't interested and hung up straight away. Pretty sure it’s just another dodgy scam.Chris4 yearsThey keep ringing me up loads, and when I finally answered, the bloke said he was representing a local energy provider. I told him I'm not interested and asked him to stop calling, yet the calls just won't stop.4 yearsSo I looked it up on Google and found something called Rainbow Immigration Legal Services in Brixton? Not sure if it’s legit or worth reaching out to.GoogleRainbow Immigration Legal ServicesBrixton4 yearsHad three missed calls from this number yesterday arvo, but no voicemail or anything. After seeing what others have said, gonna block it for sure.4 yearsReceived a rather peculiar phone call while I was out on the road today. The chap on the other end claimed he had my postcode in his records. When I pressed him for specifics about which postcode, he sort of fumbled and mumbled that he would 'pull up the information'. Quite frankly, why would you initiate a call without having your facts sorted? He then went on about needing to inspect my loft insulation. Naturally, I queried who he represented, but just as I did, the line suddenly dropped. I distinctly heard that familiar beep of a disconnection, leaving me puzzled whether he’d terminated the call or if I had simply drifted into a patch of poor signal - which isn’t out of the question given the area I was in. No follow-up from him, so I'm inclined to label this encounter as spam. My loft insulation is in tip-top shape, by the way, and fully boarded!4 yearsI received a call today from this number, but I've already barred this particular area code, so there's no need to answer. It's the fourth different number that’s rung me today, all seemingly linked to dodgy energy offers or scams. Quite tiresome, really!4 yearsI've been getting a fair few calls from so-called ‘local energy advisors’ that I never asked for. It’s rather frustrating! Whenever I start to engage, they abruptly hang up as if they don’t fancy having a proper chat. I’ve already asked them to take my information off their list, but it seems they're ignoring me. Quite the nuisance, really!4 yearsThese calls keep coming nonstop and are really annoying. I’ve managed to block them on my mobile, but the landline - which they mostly ring - is too overloaded to block them properly.4 yearsMy name's Chris and these lot keep ringing saying they're from the local energy team or something. It's just a bunch of scammers, honestly. They’ve rung me so many times I just ignore the calls now. What a pain!BlimeyChris4 yearsLoads of calls about energy deals, all just spam.4 yearsYesterday, I got a call from a bloke named Chris on an 0161 number saying he was some kind of energy advisor for my area. He was telling me I should get my loft insulation checked and offered to set up a time for a visit. I said no thanks straight away. Then, this morning, the same guy rang me again, almost word for word, but this time from a 020 number!Chris4 yearsNo sound, just a blocked number calling.4 yearsThis number seems to call me twice daily without fail, and it’s becoming rather irritating. I’ve taken to ignoring it entirely, but I wish they'd just take a hint and stop!4 yearsThey keep ringing me loads of times a day from loads of different numbers, so annoying! Had to block them because of all the hassle on my phone.4 yearsenergy company called me. i told em a time (3.36 pm) then they just hung up. ended up blocking the number.4 yearsTell him the time; he's not interested in this information since he works for an energy company.Submit Your Own Report (020 3883 2196)
