I've had a few calls from this number and others like it. Every time I let it go to voicemail, then hang up straight away. Seems like a total scam or spam kind of thing.

Today I got a couple of calls from this number about insulation. I just ended the calls straight away. Seems like a scam to me.

Got a random ring from someone saying they were Chris from some energy company nearby... it really reminded me of a call I got a few days back from a similar number ending in 0136. Seems like they're just cycling through numbers or something. The voice was way too smooth, felt like a robot or AI thing. Ended the call straight away.

Had a call from someone named Chris, supposedly from my energy provider, about my loft insulation maybe causing damp problems. It was clearly some voice-activated AI or algorithm. I tried giving it a few vague answers instead of just yes or no, which seemed to throw it off a bit. When I asked if I was speaking to a real person, the AI replied it wasn’t a robot but claimed it was new to the role and was trying its best. Sounded pretty convincing, but it was obvious it wasn’t human. Eventually, when I didn’t reply anymore, the call just ended.

Got a call from some insulation firm claiming I could get help with loft insulation. The guy actually sounded genuine, talking about that yellow fluffy stuff in the attic until I told him to stop. I’m on the TPS but these calls keep coming.

Got a call from them about insulating the loft, but it's a total rip-off. They rang a few weeks back too, and when I told the bloke it wasn’t right, he said sorry and just hung up. These guys don't give up easily.

Keeps ringing me from numbers like this one, often outta the blue. Seems it's all about that government insulation stuff. Usually just dead air or no one talks.

Thanks a lot for sharing details about that scammer’s phone number. It really saved me from wasting time and possibly getting cheated. I appreciate it!

Whenever I spot a number starting with 02882, I instantly realise it's a scam. Since our number is unlisted, they're probably just making up numbers to call. Honestly, this kind of thing ought to be banned.

They just hung up without saying a word. Such a pain.

I didn't pick up when this number rang, figured it was probably just another scam. These random landline calls rarely turn out to be legit.

Got a call with no one on the line. Weird and a bit annoying.

So, this Chris guy, he called me again but this time from another number. Said something about being on a scam list, then just ended the call. Not very nice or helpful at all!

Just got a call from someone called Chris claiming to be my energy advisor - total scam. They hung up right after I answered. This isn’t the first time, they’ve tried ringing me before from a number that was nearly the same, but just a bit different.

17/01/25 09:05 So frustrating and a right nuisance. For nearly a year now I keep getting calls from this number, roughly twice weekly. It's not just me either - my neighbours keep getting the same calls. I’m signed up with the telephone preference service but this lot clearly couldn’t care less.

They’ve rung us a few times claiming there was some sort of survey about insulation, but we never had one. My husband answered yesterday and told them we weren’t interested, then ended the call. Yet, they had the nerve to ring back at 8:30 this morning!

This number has rung me three times so far. I didn't pick up this morning when it rang about 8.30. The bloke on the other end says his name's Chris, but I've told him a couple of times that I’m not interested in his advice. He's quite pushy. Today, when it came up on my phone, I just ignored it.

Got a suspicious call again today. Didn’t pick up, and when I called back, there was no voicemail. Blocked the number straight away.

Kept ringing me from different numbers after I blocked the first one. He was pretending to be from the local energy company, trying to sell some insulation deal. Told him straight up he was a conman, but he just kept going on and on. Said he was working with the government or something - as if! I called him out again and blocked the number. Pretty sure he’ll just pop up from another phone soon enough!

I’ve had a few calls from numbers like 02882 480140, 02882 480136 and 02882 480137 over the last few days, but everytime I answer they just end the call straight away. Seems a bit sketchy to me...

Got a bloke on the phone claiming he’s Chris, says he’s an energy advisor for our area. This is the second call from him today - first time was from a similar number, 02882 480137. I’ve also had calls over the last few days from 02882 480136. Instead of keeping quiet this time, I told him straight up that I know he’s trying to scam us and to stop calling.

So this number has been ringing my landline a couple of days in a row, just kept ringing without me picking up. I did answer when they called the first time and it was a very polite English woman who said sorry for calling me out of the blue. She mentioned something about “solar energy” but I got really skeptical and ended up just hanging up since it felt like a scam or something fishy.

They let it ring just a few times - about three rings - and then just cut off. It’s getting seriously ridiculous at this point.

I got a call from them yesterday but there was no voicemail left. Then today, they rang again. Weirdly, later on the same day, another call came through, but the number was different by just one digit - probably because we had blocked the first one. Definitely a sneaky scammy trick!

Answered quick then hung up straight away so they ended up paying. It’s like every year, once the New Year hits, the dodgy calls start rolling in. Bet they won’t bother ringing again. Total scam, so I just blocked the number.
