7 monthsTypical scam trying to trick older folks who might be vulnerable. They cold call you out of the blue. Best advice is to just ignore the call and not to open your door if they show up. Stay safe!9 monthsI got a call from this woman who sounded super fake and claimed she’d called me before, which she definitely hadn’t. She said it was about a health and safety survey. When I asked for her name and a contact number, she hung up before she could finish. Then she called back, and a few days later someone else from her team rang me too. Proper hassle.1 yearAt first, I thought the caller was from a government office or maybe a survey firm working on behalf of a government body, and I didn’t get the feeling they were trying to sell me anything. They arranged for a surveyor named ‘John’ to come round the following morning at 10.00 a.m. But then, at about 3.33 p.m., they rang again saying they wanted to push the meeting back by an hour. I told them I’d rather just cancel it and wasn’t interested in any further chat. By the way, our number is registered with the telephone preference service to block cold calls.JohnTelephone Preference Service1 yearSo I got a phone call from 01217149450, some bloke saying he was in charge of "Home Improvements" and wanted to set up a time to check out my place for insulation work. Total con if you ask me!2 yearsGot a call from someone called Michelle claiming to be with Harrow Home Efficiency Service, even though I hadn’t asked for anything.MichelleHarrow Home Efficiency Service2 yearsAvoid paying for loft spray removal, it's just a total rip-off.2 yearsMy grandad had some awful Sprayfoam put in, which he was tricked into buying at first. Thankfully, this company came along and got rid of it for him, so he could finally put his house on the market and move somewhere smaller. I don’t get why some folks call them a scam or say they’re dodgy because from my experience they were very helpful and trustworthy.2 yearsThe line went dead the moment I greeted them.2 yearsReceived a quartet of calls in quick succession, and they were aware of our home owner's name. They asserted that we had a scheduled appointment for an insulation assessment at 10 o'clock (which happened to be the exact time). They also mentioned having knocked previously and insisted that I had answered the door - which I definitely did not! They mentioned they would ring back later on.2 yearsGot called back-to-back four times and they definitely knew the name of the person living here. They said there was an insulation check booked for 10am - which was exactly the time they called. Also mentioned they’d already been knocking and I’d answered the door, which I never did. Feels pretty dodgy, no doubt a scam.2 yearsGot our spray foam taken out by a home insulation firm. They did a decent job with the removal.3 yearsGave me a bell regarding loft insulation. It felt a bit off, to be honest.3 yearsHad a free assessment set up by a insulation firm over the phone. Seemed like a proper professional outfit.3 yearsFor about four years now, I've been getting calls from a loft insulation firm. They must have bought my contact info from some list, but everything they hold, like my name and address, is wrong. It's been happening way too often!3 yearsYet another unexpected caller offering loft insulation advice!3 yearsI received a call about setting up an appointment for home insulation. It was a typical cold call, yet the caller wasn't overly forceful or aggressive. Despite that, it still fell under the category of unsolicited calls.3 yearsReally good company. They came out and checked my insulation for free and I’m sure they’re not trying to rip anyone off. Don’t think it’s fair when folks call them a scam.3 yearsGot a call from Homestar insulation saying they’ll do a “free” survey, which they found my details from some random website or something. Honestly, it felt like a scam to me. They talk all nice and professional, making you believe they’re somehow connected to the Council or the Government, but they’re not. Proper dodgy - steer clear!Homestar3 yearsThis same firm tricked me before with insulation work, now they're calling again about some "spray foam" removal. They claimed the rep couldn't ring last time as he had Covid, but now wants to check the place again. When I mentioned my Power of Attorney handles appointments, they said the survey was already prepaid and said they’d set up the visit with my POA themselves. Seems dodgy to me.Covid3 yearsGot a call offering a free assessment to insulate my home. Not sure if it’s legit or just some sales pitch. Anyone else had one of these?4 yearsGot a call from 01202 402381 today and after checking online, loads of people were saying it’s a scam related to insulation checks. They also mentioned I’d be contacted from this same number again. I don’t have any direct experience with the 0800 number they gave me, but the connection to the Bournemouth line just made me feel uneasy.Bournemouth4 yearsThey helped me get my insulation check sorted.4 yearsI received a call from someone trying to arrange a visit to my elderly mum's home under the guise of inspecting the air quality!4 yearsSo I somehow ended up booking a home insulation appointment after getting called by a telemarketer the other day. Later on, I rang back and spoke to a lovely lady who was really understanding and let me cancel it without any fuss.Submit Your Own Report (0800 669 6482)
