Expert Opinion

Picture this: your phone rings with a Manchester area code, and a voice promises free energy grants or advice on home efficiency. These calls from this number fit the classic local energy advisor scam, where callers pretend to offer government-backed help but aim to extract personal details or push dodgy services. Reports show persistent attempts, often by someone named Joanne or Chris, using spoofed lines to evade blocks. Hang up immediately if you get one—don't engage or confirm any info. Register with TPS to cut unsolicited calls, and use apps like Truecaller for screening. Blocking helps, but scammers rotate numbers, so stay vigilant to protect against identity theft or overcharges.

At 5pm on my landline, a woman's English accent said a local home energy expert could offer advice on owner assistance… She inquired if I owned the place… I fibbed and said I rent… She sounded gutted and hung up… This happens often; I always claim to rent and block, but they use fresh numbers…

Another instance of the 'local energy advisor' fraud ring. Caller this time went by 'Joanne', usually it's 'Chris'. Steer clear, it's a hoax rotating through multiple numbers.
