In Sheffield's bustling outskirts last autumn, reports of persistent calls from this number surfaced, mostly flagging solar panel pitches as dodgy. Punters describe unsolicited chats about government grants for energy-saving setups, but the consensus leans towards scam tactics—cold calls promising free assessments that often lead to high-pressure sales or outright fraud. One chap even booked an appointment, only for doubts to creep in later. Never engage; hang up straight away and block the line. Forward the number to 7726 to report via your network, helping Ofcom and the police track these nuisances. If texts follow, screenshot and email them too—keeps the scammers at bay without costing you a penny.
Random cold‑calling; any business using this shady initial contact is almost certainly fraudulent.
A representative from Help4Homes called to discuss a solar panel assessment; the lady sounded pleasant.
Beware of the solar‑panel scam – it’s listed alongside insulation and recruitment frauds as one of the most reported on this site. Never answer cold calls; they’ll cost you. Report attempts via the government‑police‑Ofcom system by texting details to 7726 and emailing a screenshot.
Looks like spam.
No answer was given and no voice note was left – seemed like a pitch for solar panels. If the calls keep coming I’ll mark it as harassment.
I took the call despite the "suspected spam" warning; a woman tried to pitch lower electricity bills and a government grant for solar panels. I booked an appointment for next week and will update after it.
The line rings briefly, then drops as soon as I answer.
