08451113111 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08451113111 👆 is reported as a persistently intrusive and deceptive cold caller, frequently making multiple daily calls despite numbers being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Callers often claim affiliation with government bodies or local councils, promoting alleged grants for home insulation, but they are pushy, unprofessional, and reluctant to provide verifiable information. Many recipients have expressed distress, especially elderly individuals, and attempts to cease contact are typically ignored or result in hang-ups. Complaints highlight a disregard for privacy and TPS regulations, with reports of harassment and misrepresentation. Users advise caution, recommend ignoring or blocking these calls, and warn others about potential scams masquerading as official grant advisors. Authorities have been alerted by some, and compensation has been reportedly obtained by victims of these nuisance calls.

We've been getting calls from this number since Monday, but we've managed to avoid answering so far. Cheers for the warning! We definitely won't be answering if they call again. It baffles me how these sorts of companies operate. If they’re genuine, why don’t they just leave a message? It's utterly bewildering!

Indeed, we recently received a call from someone claiming to be "The Government's Energy Grant Advisor." How generous of them to interrupt their presumably busy schedule to reach out to ordinary individuals like ourselves! It’s a shame, really, as we’ve already sorted out our energy grant and are rather weary of the myriad of scammers, such as these, trying to reel us in for our personal details or business. Quite tiresome, really!

Received a phone call recently but there was no message left. We're already signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, so we ought to be free from any sales calls. Quite frustrating!

This number has rung me thrice already today, but there’s been no message left behind, and I can't get through when I try to ring it back. Best to steer clear of this one!

Cheers for shedding light on this being a grant scam. Has anyone got any idea what the name of the company is?

It appears that these individuals have little regard for the fact that I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service. Every time I mention it, they seem to turn a deaf ear and continue their calls. It’s quite infuriating! They’ve rung me a staggering eight times in just one day, and whenever I answer, they promptly hang up and just keep on calling. I wish they'd take the hint and stop bothering me!

Gave us a bell with the exact same tale, claiming to represent the official government advisors for the Slough region. Surely, that can't be legal, can it? They somehow obtained our name and address, and we are registered with the Telephone Preference Service!

These individuals were calling regarding government funding for insulation of roofs and cavity walls.

Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, the caller seemed utterly unconcerned about the fact that they disturbed our sleep. They were insistent on verifying private details, which we flatly declined to share. Not long after we hung up, we took the precaution of blocking that number for a while. All in all, it was quite unsettling and rather bothersome.

These individuals claim to be government grant consultants for cavity wall insulation. Perhaps it’s worth inquiring which local authority has permitted them to use your telephone number?

Oh joy, yet another call. They tried to get in touch around nine this morning, going on about cavity wall and loft insulation. I mean, honestly, we live in a contemporary detached house that's already well insulated! What a right hassle this is turning out to be. Cheers.

Indeed, we've started getting these pesky calls too. Not picking up, of course. Did a bit of digging on this site. It’s quite maddening, especially considering we’ve signed up with the TPS. Seriously, it feels like we've swapped one set of nuisance calls for another! What’s the actual purpose of registering if no one seems to take notice? Frustrated to the max!

I received a call from this number, and it seemed rather dubious. When I mentioned Mr. Therefore, they insisted on the wrong number and asked for our address, which I wasn’t keen to share. Unsurprisingly, they hung up rather abruptly. Quite the strange encounter, if you ask me!

Oh, how amusing! Free loft insulation, you say? Quite the cheeky offer!

I recently received a call from these individuals regarding grants for insulating homes. The moment we inquired about how they obtained our number, especially since we're listed on the Telephone Preference Service, the caller claimed they were affiliated with a government agency and had access to everyone's contact details. He then directed us to a supposed website, MES, which appears to be non-existent. To make matters worse, the name he used to address us raised our eyebrows even further. It seems rather plausible that these callers may have accessed business or professional organisation websites unlawfully.

I received a call from a company claiming to be Nationwide House Improvements, claiming they were offering government grants for insulation. However, when we probed further and asked if they were trying to sell us anything, they swiftly shifted the conversation. When we inquired about how they got hold of our number, they remarked it was through the electricity provider. The moment we mentioned our registration with the Telephone Preference Service, they abruptly hung up. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be associated with Wiltshire Council, who mentioned that they were listed as providers for loft insulation grants. I explained to them that our house, built in 1998, already has sufficient loft insulation-around eight inches-since we moved in. They then informed us that we would be removed from their list. Subsequently, I noticed their number on my caller display and decided to contact them from a different phone line. This time, it was answered by Nationwide Insulation Services. It’s evident they’re engaging in cold calling to drum up business, and to make matters worse, we’re registered with the Telephone Preference Service as well.

We've successfully secured some compensation from this firm due to the bothersome calls we kept receiving on our number that’s registered with the Telephone Preference Service. If you’d like to see evidence of this - like the cheque we received - and learn how you can also claim compensation, just drop an email to [email protected]. They’ll promptly respond with a copy of the cheque and all the information you'll need to initiate your own claim.

Curious to know which council granted them the right to utilise your number? It’s quite a sneaky tactic they've got, isn’t it? Almost as if they’ve hoovered up your details from some dodgy list they’ve compiled whilst pestering folk or fishing for information. Or perhaps they’re just masquerading as a call centre, claiming essential business needs - you know the type, where you’re left hanging on the line while they play some annoying jingle? It’s all a bit of a farce if you ask me, tickling one’s funny bone with their antics!

Absolutely fed up with these blokes! Honestly, it might be time for them to find a proper job instead of pestering people. Enough with the constant ringing-4 or even 5 times daily? It's draining! Just a gentle reminder that each call costs you, so maybe they should take a hint when I don’t answer. It's beyond ridiculous!

I’ve just received a call from these folks who claimed to be local engineers. They were going on about swapping out my "inefficient combi boiler," which is practically brand new! I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, but that clearly hasn't deterred them at all.

I keep receiving calls from 08451113111 multiple times daily. I’ve asked them to take my number off their list, but it’s as if my request fell on deaf ears! Now, they simply ring and then disconnect as soon as I pick up. I’m at a loss as to who these folks are, as they refuse to give any details when I demand to be taken off their call roster!

My poor old mum, who’s 81, is absolutely hounded by calls from this number - sometimes as many as six times a day, even though she’s signed up with the Telephone Preference Service. It’s beyond me what they think they’re achieving by menacing elderly folks like her. She’s so frightened that she doesn’t even want to pick up the phone anymore. Someone needs to take action against this caller - it’s disgraceful!

I received a call today, even though I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list. The call centre sounded incredibly unprofessional; there was a lot of noise and banter in the background, and the caller was quite rude and overly aggressive. They introduced themselves as the "Chief Grant Advisor" for the council, but cheekily tried to extract personal information from me. Despite my clear “no thanks”, they persisted, which led me to cut the call. I’ve gone ahead and lodged a complaint with the TPS regarding this nuisance.
