Those ‘local energy specialists’ called again, offering only silence or a robotic voice – extremely irritating and unmistakably fraudulent, so I blocked them.
Loft Scam Alert – Don't Fall for It!
Summary — +441228473709
Expert Opinion
Silent messages on landlines prompt callbacks with hidden charges, a classic ploy to extract fees without consent. These calls often masquerade as offers for free loft insulation or energy surveys from supposed local specialists, but they're automated scams pushing paid assessments. Numerous reports highlight persistent harassment, with numbers rotating to evade blocks, sometimes linked to platforms like Twilio. Don't engage—pressing any key could authorise charges. Report to your provider like BT and register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut nuisance calls. Block relentlessly and never share details; it's all smoke and mirrors from overseas operations. Stay vigilant to protect your peace and wallet.

Twilio’s endless scam calls are driving me nuts – I block each number, yet they keep flooding me with new ones multiple times daily, so I end up blocking everything.
When the landline rang on a Friday, I picked up and a woman introduced herself as Vicky, wishing me well. I stayed silent and set the handset aside, prompting her to end the call. Possibly one fewer scam for someone else—annoying and repetitive.

This week Carlisle rang me from six different locations, each posing as a local energy‑insulation, loft‑survey or solar‑panel expert. Even if genuine, none are truly local – it feels like a call centre, likely overseas, trying to scam people.
An anonymous cold‑call appeared without a caller ID; I ignored it and later reported the number to BT as a scam.

Scam
Unexpectedly, a silent voicemail appeared on my landline, offering a callback by pressing 3—normally a chargeable service. I replayed it to ensure I hadn’t missed anything, then faced BT’s menu: press 1 to hear again, 2 to save, 3 to delete. I chose 3 to discard it, hoping they won’t ring back and bill me.
