This morning a caller from 020 4601 2315 introduced himself as Ben and pitched a loft‑insulation grant; I cut him off, reminded him I’m on the TPS, and he hung up.
Insulation scam alert!

Expert Opinion
Be wary of unsolicited calls from unknown numbers; they often signal potential trouble. Reports highlight persistent harassment, with callers pushing dubious offers like kitchen warranties, mortgage refunds, or loft insulation grants—none of which check out for most recipients. Scammers probe for personal details, such as home ownership, to exploit vulnerabilities. Silence or abrupt hang-ups are common tactics to confirm active lines. Block the number immediately and report to Action Fraud if pressed for info. Register with the Telephone Preference Service if not already done, and never share sensitive data over the phone. These nuisances waste time but pose real risks to privacy.
