Block unsolicited calls immediately to protect your privacy. These reports highlight persistent energy scams, often using robotic voices or fake advisors to extract details about your home or finances. Scammers may pose as locals or officials, switching to pre-recorded responses that sound believable at first. One instance involved a car finance claim pitch, another personal questions from an Indian call centre—both red flags for data harvesting. Hang up without engaging, report to Action Fraud, and register with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer nuisance calls. Never share personal info over unsolicited lines; verify independently if concerned about energy or claims.
A number I didn't recognise left no message; I blocked it as usual. Thanks for the service that lets me verify and comment.
Earlier, a man answered the phone and was followed by a recorded female voice claiming to be a local energy adviser – another energy scam.
The call sounded convincing but clearly wasn't a real person – you could hear the voice cut out. It asked about energy, posed questions, waited for answers, then moved on. I blocked it.
A female voice rang me up just a day after the previous call from the former owner of my number, who passed away a decade ago – definitely an energy scam.
User described it as both unpleasant and irritating.
A man from India asked if I'd taken out any car finance because there might be a claim. I said no, he wished me a lovely day and I blocked him.
A call centre agent named Richard knew my name and address, then asked about home ownership before finally getting to the point – I hung up.
