Have you ever wondered why these persistent calls keep coming, even after you've hung up? Reports paint a picture of unsolicited energy pitches and homeowner probes, often laced with false promises like sky-high savings rates that sound too good to be true. Scammers thrive on this, using fake local advisor guises to hook you. Hang up immediately—never confirm details or engage. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on cold calls, and consider apps that block unknown numbers. If harassed, log incidents with Action Fraud for potential action. Stay vigilant; your privacy isn't worth their script.
She claimed I could earn 11.4 % on my savings – apparently better than any bank, bookmaker, or even a magic fairy turning cash into gold. Now where’s my profit?
A call came asking whether I owned the energy account; I answered no, and the caller simply said okay and hung up.
At 10.30 am a foreign‑accented caller asked me to answer a quick yes/no question about the house; I hung up straight away.
A woman pretended to be another "local energy adviser" – I’m now supposedly surrounded by hundreds of them. Clearly a scam.
A caller named Gladys asked whether I'm the homeowner; these near‑daily harassing calls are ignored because they never accept a 'no'.
Unsure of the caller, I chose not to answer.
There was no voicemail and no answer, so I blocked it.
Received an unexpected call from someone in Huddersfield posing as my local energy advisor. I told them I don’t live near Huddersfield and hung up – clearly a scam.
Pointless cold‑calling lot.
Got a call with no sound, man.
