Ever wonder why you keep receiving boiler‑related calls from a number you don’t recognise? Many consumers report silent hang‑ups, rushed sales pitches and callers posing as benefits officials – a classic pattern of telemarketing scams targeting home‑owners. Register your line with the Telephone Preference Service, block the number on your handset and never share personal or financial details with an unsolicited caller. If the call claims to be from a government department, ask for a reference number and verify it on the official website. Report persistent harassment to OFCOM and consider filing a complaint with Action Fraud. Stay vigilant and let the scammers know you won’t be fooled.

A person, introducing himself as Raymond with a foreign accent, was difficult to understand, prompting me to end the call immediately
Silent call, but when I rang back it said press 9 to opt out of future calls. Sketchy and untrustworthy. Don't bother.
The call was ignored as it was a silent call.

Following the previous comments, I've now blocked this number too.
A woman with an Indian accent, claiming to represent the UK benefits department, contacted me to discuss boilers, loft insulation, and benefit recipients in my household.
During my holiday, I received a call from this number on 25 June; the speaker seemed unaware that the dial tone was not from the UK and inquired about a recent home purchase, but their vagueness raised suspicions, leading me to hang up.
After greeting them, they abruptly ended the call!
It is concerning that these foreign individuals can disguise their calls to appear as though they originate from the UK, yet BT seems to take no action
During a call from this number, a conversation about the cricket match between New Zealand and Pakistan led to a discussion about boilers and loft insulation, making for a surprisingly pleasant interaction.
The call was met with silence, prompting me to hang up immediately.
Just rang to inquire about my boiler’s age. Hung up when I said I didn’t know. Annoying and unnecessary. Avoid answering unless expecting a call.
The sender of these texts is guilty of harassment.
A call was made regarding boiler replacement, but the caller ended the conversation upon learning of the private tenancy
When I answered the phone, they just hung up on me
The individual claiming to represent a government department regarding heating grants was remarkably rude, demanding to know if I was the property owner, to which I refused to respond, and subsequently, they used abusive language. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference service, such calls persist.
The call was from an Asian-speaking male, but the language barrier made communication impossible.
An Asian man claimed to be from the benefits department and seemed alarmingly familiar with my name, despite the fact that I do not receive benefits. Consequently, I blocked the number.
The actions of such individuals are detrimental to the reputation of the Asian community.
A man with an Asian accent called about boiler replacement, and after informing him the work had been done, he resorted to using offensive language.
