These calls represent persistent telemarketing harassment focused on solar panels, often using multiple numbers to evade blocks and featuring automated or scripted messages claiming prior interest. Callers may know personal details like names, raising privacy concerns under UK data protection laws. To protect yourself, register with the Telephone Preference Service immediately, report to Action Fraud if suspicious, and avoid engaging or sharing information—simply hang up and block. For repeated issues, consider apps that detect spam or consult Ofcom guidelines on nuisance calls. Stay vigilant, as such tactics exploit trust in UK-originated numbers.
Extremely irritating – they keep ringing on different numbers trying to sell solar panels.
A polished voice used my first name, claimed I was keen on solar panels and asked if my bill exceeded £60. The call dropped abruptly when I replied I wasn't interested.
The firm markets solar energy and cycles through several numbers; blocking one simply results in another call from a different line.
After missing the call and returning it, an automated voice repeated my name three times before falling silent.
Answering the call, which displayed a United Kingdom location, I assumed it might be legitimate, but a recorded male voice claimed to be from a solar power firm and said I had expressed interest – another scam, so I blocked it.
