02882480138 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02882480138 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive energy-related scam, primarily targeting older and vulnerable individuals via unsolicited calls about loft insulation. Callers often identify themselves as local energy advisors, frequently using the name "Chris," but provide no verifiable company details and hang up or ignore questions. These calls typically come through multiple similar numbers, bypassing Telephone Preference Service (TPS) registration and ex-directory listings. Many recipients do not answer unknown numbers or immediately block them. Callers may leave no message or, in some cases, garbled audio. The general consensus advises refusing to engage, blocking the numbers, and reporting the incidents. Caution is urged as these are unregulated cold calls often aiming to exploit trust through false urgency and local connections.

Got a random call with no voicemail or anything, which makes me think it's probably a scam. It’s crazy how these calls just ignore the TPS list like it doesn’t even exist. Fingers crossed that this site’s info can help catch or block these nuisance callers soon. Big thanks to everyone involved in keeping this site running and sharing info!

This number rang a few times at my place but luckily I have BT Call Blocker set up and since it wasnt saved in my contacts, my phone didnt even buzz. They didnt say who they were when I picked up, and no voicemail was left either which I always take as a red flag. After seeing what others said about it, I decided to block the caller myself now.

I got a call on my landline today from somewhere in Tyne Wear (Gateshead) at around 2.14pm on 24/01/26. The person said they were an energy advisor about loft insulation. They sounded fairly polite at first, but when I asked which company they were representing, they just hung up straight away.

I just got off the phone with a guy called Chris, who said he was an energy advisor. He told me our home was flagged for having outdated loft insulation, but I politely declined and ended the call. Honestly, he was quite courteous throughout.

On the 23rd of Jan 2025 just before 11 in the morning I got a call from a bloke who sounded like he was from England. He said my house was flagged up for having outdated loft insulation. I began to tell him it's a council house and I can't decide on this stuff, then the line just went dead. Blocked the number straight away.

Got calls from someone saying they’re an energy adviser around here. Called me twice already, number’s almost the same except the last two digits, first was ...36, today it ended in ...38. Just be careful if you get a call like that.

They keep ringing my 96 year old mum, who already finds using the phone really tough cos she can barely see and hears even less. It’s just awful behaviour. Luckily, she doesn’t take any nonsense - if they don’t say her name first, she immediately hangs up and tells them to “buzz off!”

This annoying caller keeps ringing up my 96-year-old mum, who's both blind and has trouble hearing. She already finds it difficult to pick up the phone, but if they don't say her name straight away, she just ends the call and tells them to "buzz off!" Poor lady shouldn’t have to deal with that hassle.

Got another call today from someone claiming to be an energy advisor, but it was just more of the same scam. The bloke on the phone sounded like a real person, not one of those robotic messages. A few days back, I got a call from a number almost the same, just the last digit changed. It’s really annoying. My old dad’s 85 and he really shouldn’t have to deal with these nasty scams. I keep blocking them through BT call protect on our landline, but they always come back using different numbers. So frustrating!

Got a call earlier today, but when I answered, all I heard was silence. As usual, I switched the handset to see if that was the problem.

BT Call Guardian stopped this call from coming through, so I never actually answered it. I'm guessing it was either someone who didn't want to say who they were or just a bot dialing numbers randomly hoping someone picks up. It's really handy that who-called has put together such a good database of scam callers though.

This bloke won't stop ringing us, even from different phone numbers. I can tell it's him by his voice since he goes over the exact same scam every time. Always tries to convince you to let some energy advisor come round to your place. It's pure harassment, especially since we're on the telephone preference service and we've taken ourselves off the directory.
