I was contacted twice by Writeful Words Ltd, a Newcastle‑upon‑Tyne firm, claiming I could receive a two‑thirds refund on solar panels installed 13 years ago, supposedly funded by the government. They said any claim they processed would be fully honoured, with payment into my bank within three to four months, but required an upfront fee of £900 plus VAT. It sounds overly generous – has anyone verified this?

Expert Opinion
Beware of this number - it's been linked to a suspected solar panel scam. The caller claims to be from a company called Writeful Words, allegedly offering refunds for solar panel guarantees if the installer has ceased trading. However, multiple users have reported red flags, including requests for upfront payments and misinformation about guarantee periods.
Users have reported that the caller's story doesn't add up, with one person pointing out that their inverter was only guaranteed for 5 years, not 25. Another user was asked who supplied their panels, but the caller couldn't provide any further information when they claimed not to remember.
Don't give them any information and be cautious of their tactics. It's likely that the caller is trying to phish for personal details or pressure you into making a payment. If you receive a call from this number, it's best to hang up immediately and report the call to the relevant authorities. Remember, legitimate companies won't ask for upfront payments or try to bully you into making a decision.

Scam
A call came in on my mobile Friday 24 Jan at 11:48 am with no voicemail; my phone tagged it as ‘Potential Fraud’. It rang again on 27 Jan, still silent, now marked ‘Suspected Spam’ – looks like a scam, mate.
They continue to claim a 100 % government rebate for solar panels from firms that have since collapsed – an unrealistic offer given my system still receives FIT payments after 13 years.
A sophisticated solar energy scam attempting to extract funds through elaborate deception
The request for upfront payment to claim money back for solar panels seems suspicious, and I would advise caution when providing information to them.

Scam
Inquired about the supplier of my panels, mentioning that the company had gone out of business. I couldn't recall the details, but they were unable to provide any information.
Today, I received a call from this number identifying themselves as Writeful Words. They discussed refunds on solar panel guarantees, claiming my installer had ceased operations. They asserted that my system was guaranteed for 25 years, but I know my inverter is only covered for 5 years against manufacturer defects and my panels for 10 years under the same terms. The panels are guaranteed to provide 85% of rated output for 25 years, and the electrical installation is guaranteed for 2 years. When I expressed my disbelief in her claims, she argued back until she ultimately hung up.
