Phone number ☎️ 02080165172 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving calls from individuals claiming to offer free electrical wiring or fuse box checks, often referencing non-existent previous inspections. Callers use polite, sometimes posh English accents, but their insistence and unverified claims raise concerns of scams targeting especially older people.

Many recipients advise caution and recommend ignoring or blocking such calls, as they may be designed to gain access to personal information or coerce unnecessary services. Overall, approach calls from this number with scepticism and avoid sharing any details.

Just got a dodgy call about some electricity inspection and checking my meter. Seems like a scam, so watch out and don’t get caught up in it!

Got a call from a woman speaking with a really posh English accent, claiming my fuse box hadn’t been inspected for a decade and it was time for a check-up. She asked me to stand by it and give her a description. I told her it was all trip switches and no old-fashioned fuses. She then said because it’s a newer setup, they weren’t currently inspecting those and just thanked me for my help before hanging up.

Our call guard system flagged this number, showing it as an announced call. A bloke, sounded fairly young, asked for us by name and said he wanted to do a free inspection of our wiring and fuse box. He made it sound like he was coming back after an earlier check, but we've only ever had our own electrician look at it. I ended up pressing the option to refuse and block any more calls from that number.

He said his name was John, I believe. Mentioned that they did an electrical wiring inspection back in 2017. I told him nobody had rung me about that. He kept saying it was done and even claimed he had a signature, then just ended the call.

Got a call from a polite young guy who asked for Mr Smith - how original! Then he quickly said sorry, said it was a wrong number. Typical.

Proper gentleman, sounded all professional and business-like. But then he quickly said he must have dialled the wrong number once I answered and mentioned my company, not some vulnerable old folks.

We keep gettin loads of calls meant for some woman who probably had this number ages ago. The guy on the phone was really rude and pushy, claiming he worked for an electrical safety firm. He kept saying he last spoke to this 'Mrs Turner' like a decade ago or something. When I asked him to take our number off their list, he just refused and then cut me off. Proper annoying!

Some bloke rang me up saying I qualified for a complimentary check of my electrical wiring. He claimed their files showed it was last done ten years back. Right away, I suspected it was dodgy. I told him I definitely haven’t had any such inspection a decade ago. Then he replied rather nastily, saying he was happy I wouldn’t recall it at my age, and just hung up. I’m not even that old, but feels like these scammers specifically go after older folks.

Some bloke rang me saying I was up for a free electrical wiring inspection. He claimed their files showed it was last done a decade ago. Immediately knew it sounded dodgy. I said I never had that done ten years back. He got all cheeky, saying I mustn't remember because of my age, and just hung up. I'm not even that old, but these scammers seem to pick on older folks, especially pensioners.

They keep ringing but as soon as I answer and say hi, they quickly hang up. So annoying.

From West Berkshire here. Got a call about checking electrical wiring. They mentioned some bloke (gave his name) supposedly did a check back in 2017, which definitely never happened. I told them I wasn’t interested and just ended the call.

I got a call from a very polite woman claiming she wanted to do a free wiring inspection at my home. Not sure where she picked up my number from, but it seemed a bit dodgy to me. I calmly mentioned that my place had just been rewired not long ago, and she ended the call shortly after.

Got a call from a woman offering to check our electrical wiring. She mentioned they last contacted us back in 2011. I just declined and hung up straight away.

Had a call from a polite older woman claiming to offer a free electrical wiring inspection at home. She mentioned that wiring needs a check-up every decade. I said I wasn’t interested and she was quite polite and apologetic about it. Seems like a fresh spin on the usual cold call tricks. Best to steer clear.

This morning I got a phone call from a woman claiming she worked for an electrical firm. She said they did an electrical check at our place back in 2011. I told her that’s not right as we always get our own electrician to do any checks. When she mentioned our address, I repeated that they never inspected our property. She then said sorry loads and admitted they must have mixed up the details.

Got a call from a lady claiming to work for a firm that sounded like Electrical Inspections or something similar. She was quite polite and was trying to sell me a wiring inspection. When I asked where she got my number from, she admitted they’d bought my details but had no clue from who. She mentioned GDPR and insisted the call was above board. Sounds like a bunch of rubbish to me. Cold calling like that isn’t allowed unless they can prove there’s a proper reason.

A polite woman called asking if I'd be interested in a complimentary wiring inspection. I told her kindly that we’d just had the house re-wired and our circuit board was brand new, so we wouldn’t require anything from her firm. She seemed to agree and ended the call. Sometimes I wonder if we’re just getting a bit too wary of everyone these days?

Some bloke rang me sounding dead professional, said he was from an electric company but never mentioned which one. He started asking questions about my fuse box and wiring, like where it was and if it had a cover. I thought it seemed pretty legit at the time, but looking back, it’s clear it was a scam.

Got a call from a bloke claiming to be from the electricity board, telling my elderly dad that his fuse box looked pretty old and probably should be swapped out. He got my dad all worried, especially since my dad thought there was some new rule forcing him to replace it.

I got a call from a lady who spoke really proper English, saying there was an issue with the reading on my electric meter. She claimed to be from the power company but wouldn’t say which one. It's been at least a couple of years since anyone from the supplier came out to check, so I thought it was odd to get a so-called ‘professional’ reader now. Definitely looks like a dodgy scam to me!

Not sure who it was since I didn’t pick up.

A charming chap from the electricity board rang me up, inquiring about my meter's installation date for some sort of survey regarding electrical safety. He was quite courteous, though it left me feeling a bit baffled.
