In the quiet of a weekday afternoon, this number often rings with unsolicited calls about home energy upgrades. Reports highlight a caller posing as an energy advisor, spinning tales of faulty loft insulation causing health woes like breathing issues, claiming free inspections backed by government nods. But when pressed for company details, the line drops abruptly. Silent hang-ups or no messages are common too, fuelling scam suspicions. Hang up immediately on such unsolicited pitches—never share personal info or confirm homeownership. Block the number via your phone settings, and report to Action Fraud if it persists. Genuine services don't vanish under scrutiny.
The phone rang for a while; when I answered, no one was on the line and I didn't recognise the number.
A caller named Jo reached out, speaking with an Australian accent, mentioning loft lagging and inquiring whether I owned the property.
No message was left, so I have no clue who called.
Nothing was left on voicemail, so I’m assuming it’s a scam – watch out, mate.
A person claimed to be the local energy adviser, spun a tale about lagging causing breathing issues and government action, offered a free inspection, then the line died when asked for their company name – clearly a scam.
