Scammers pose as energy survey reps to trick folk into sharing details or buying dodgy services—quite the cheeky ploy amid rising bills. These calls often go silent or turn rude when challenged, hammering away despite pleas to stop, which screams harassment. Elderly relatives seem prime targets, so always verify claims independently via official channels. Hang up swiftly, block the number, and report to Action Fraud or your phone provider to curb the nuisance. No need to engage; genuine outfits won't pester like this.
I received a cold call that tried to "reach out"; I hung up and blocked the number.
It's an energy‑provider scam – best to ignore it.
These scammers have been targeting my elderly mother; they should be ashamed. It's a shame they can't find a proper job and resort to crime.
Silence upon answering - a clear indicator of scam or sales. At minimum, it's harassment!
The person on the phone claimd they was from National Energy survey, I have recived more than 5 calls from this number in one week, despite asking them to stop calling me.
Ignored the call since I didn't recognise the number, no message was left on the answerphone. Suspect it's a scam or phishing attempt.
A call with no sound
A call regarding energy savings was abruptly ended when I mentioned it was a rental property. The caller was very rude.
This was a fraudulent call attempting to promote home heating efficiency.
There's a strong possibility this is a scam; when I answered the phone at my elderly mother's, they asked to speak with her, and upon learning it was her daughter, they immediately hung up, serving as a warning to others.
