Expert Opinion

Calls from this number often go unanswered with no voicemail left, leading many to block it outright. Persistent ringing, sometimes hourly, points to automated dialling tactics typical of unwanted intrusions. Reports mention claims of government-backed home insulation or energy surveys, but these unravel quickly—pauses in speech, repeated questions, and abrupt hang-ups when details don't fit scream scam. Voices may sound polished yet unnatural, hinting at scripted cons. Supposed local firms from distant codes add to the dodgy vibe. Best move: never engage, let answerphones filter, and report to your provider like BT for blocking. Tools like call guardians help, but staying vigilant curbs the hassle from these nuisance pests. If it claims official backing, verify independently to avoid traps.

442046256926 Spam

Unfamiliar caller, so I let voicemail take it. The recording paused for roughly four to five seconds before disconnecting. Clear sign of a scammer.

442046256926 Scam

Pretended to represent a nearby firm (even though their dialling code suggests 100 miles distant) for a loft insulation check. Polite male speaker with odd extended silences and oddly repeating the exact same query after I'd already replied. Strange behaviour.

442046256926 Harassment Call

Unfamiliar numbers never get picked up by me. These 020 calls are especially relentless though. Probably three in the past hour. My home phone's block list is growing lengthy now.

442046256926 Scam Energy company (claimed)

Posed as an energy firm… But they disconnect right after hearing it's council-owned. Must've snagged the number from a fraudster's database.

442046256926 Harassment Call

Nuisance fraud ring, likely automated dialler; I let it go to voicemail. Once engaged, it drops without recording anything. BT ought to bar this number. Initially I'd respond, only to hear pitches for state-funded insulation or similar nonsense, total fibs. Discovered that staying mute on pickup silences them till they quit. These days I verify the caller ID for kin or mates; if skipped, real ones leave a note

442046256926 Harassment Call

Today, this number has rung me hourly and altered its final two digits. My phone's guardian app has blocked them. I'm fed up with these daily scam attempts.
