Insulation fraud from rude callers?
Summary — +441917160858
Expert Opinion
Verify your loft insulation details before engaging with any unsolicited callers claiming expertise. These calls often push fraudulent energy or insulation schemes, using aggressive tactics to pressure you into unnecessary services. Block the number immediately and report to Action Fraud if details seem off. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such nuisances, and never share personal info over the phone. If confronted by shouting or persistent harassment, hang up without hesitation—it's not worth the stress. Keep records of calls for potential complaints to Ofcom.

Insulation scam. Same woman calls from different numbers.
Just had a call from 0191 7160858 regarding an energy scam. The caller, named Chris, claimed I had incorrect loft insulation. When I questioned how he knew, he became aggressive, shouting and talking over me. I persisted, and he eventually hung up. A distressing encounter. Steer clear.

Frequent calls are made from very similar numbers, but no messages are left, and based on other reports, it appears to be a scam.
The phone rang but disconnected when I answered. Using 1471, I called back and heard a message from Filitastica Marketing, mentioning ‘sprayfoam.’ Clearly a scam.
