Ever wondered why that unsolicited call feels off from the start? These persistent rings from numbers like this often mask energy advisor scams, where callers probe for homeowner details to push unwanted services or worse. Reports highlight repeated attempts, silent starts, and abrupt hang-ups once challenged—classic red flags for harassment and potential fraud. Don't engage; simply block the number and report it to your phone provider or Action Fraud. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such nuisances, and always verify any 'local advisor' claims independently to safeguard your privacy.
Received a call from 02080728088 on 23/06/25 at 16:34 and another from 02080728130; the numbers share the same prefix but differ in the last three digits, and neither left a voicemail.
I received a call from someone claiming to be a ‘local energy adviser’ asking if I owned the property. It felt dodgy, as if they wanted to push an unnecessary service, so I blocked them.
None was left; I blocked the caller.
There was silence at first; after three of my "Hello"s, someone answered, saying, "Hello, I'm Jo, one of your local energy advisors covering your area, are you the homeowner?" I hung up.
Nothing was left, so I just dismissed it.
I got another call from a woman who started, "I'm Jo, one of your local energy advisors covering your area, are you the homeowner?" After I answered yes and mentioned it was the sixth call, she hung up straight away—clearly a scam.
Around fifteen minutes ago the number rang, but I missed it and no voicemail was left. It’s unsettling— the caller might assume the house is empty, teetering between harassment (since I halted my activities to answer) and a potential threat.
That individual is a criminal, and like any similar nuisance call, I’ve lodged a report with the police.
A call came late this afternoon; I answered slowly and it went to voicemail before being cut off. It appears to be the usual suspected scam, as confirmed here.
The line was silent; this number keeps calling often.
