Ever wonder why a call about loft insulation can feel like a high‑pressure sales trap? The pattern emerging from numerous reports points to a persistent harasser posing as a government‑backed energy‑efficiency adviser. They often know personal details – name, address, even telephone number – to lend false credibility. Never share further personal information and hang up if the caller becomes aggressive or refuses to identify their organisation. Register the number with the Telephone Preference Service, report the incidents to Action Fraud and Trading Standards, and consider blocking the caller on your device. Stay sceptical of unsolicited surveys and always verify official credentials independently.
My mother, who has dementia, receives constant calls at all hours of the day and evening; the callers are relentless.
A brusque gentleman inquired about the insulation in my loft for conservation purposes. When I told him it was none of his business, he implied I was cultivating something illicit and warned he would involve the police. Truly unpleasant.
I’d recommend ignoring this individual; he initially pretended to work for the county council, then shifted to being a contractor, trying to sound official. Like other scams, the call centered on insulation surveys and exploited worries about home efficiency ratings.
An unsolicited call came from this number, and Mr Taylor transferred me to another line that called me back:
Michael Taylor rang about insulation; I told him I wasn’t interested, but he insisted an assessment was mandatory. He was abrupt, offered a possible discount, then asked who makes decisions at my house. I explained my husband had passed away, and my daughter, who has power of attorney, handles everything. He then asked if she needed to be present for the assessment; after learning she works full‑time at a school, he said he’d mail the information. I found his tone patronising and his approach exploitative toward the elderly and isolated. Is there a place to report this?
He phoned about a year ago; like other reports, his manner was rude, overly pushy, and unpleasant. Be warned—he’s back!
A rude man kept talking about spray foam in the loft of my former house. When I told him I no longer lived there, he demanded the new occupants’ names and became aggressive. What a pest.
The spray‑foam operation turned out to be a scam; the representative was extremely impolite, refused to accept a refusal, and fabricated requirements for the property. I challenged them with several questions and promptly ended the call. Not trustworthy at all.
I’ve made multiple calls concerning a guarantee for spray foam supposedly in my father’s loft, yet there’s no foam at all. My dad is a vulnerable senior, and the caller was rather intimidating.
An incoming call to the landline claimed a local insulation expert named Michael wanted to inspect our previous insulation – clearly a scam.
I didn’t answer, which turned out to be wise because the number is identified as a scam.
A call claimed that, because we installed foam loft insulation in 2019, an inspection was required to confirm everything is fine. They mentioned a possible follow‑up from a company called Thermal… I told them I wasn’t interested, having already had inspections, and that any future concerns could be dealt with later.
Unwanted sales call made
Telemarketing attempt made
This number has called several times; I let it go to my answering machine but never received a message. Assuming it was a misdial, I didn’t suspect a scam because I thought scams only came from mobile numbers. Today I received six scam calls, which is extremely frustrating.
An aggressive male called, claiming my loft insulation was outdated. After I expressed disinterest, he became verbally abusive and refused to listen, ending the call abruptly.
Calls are irritating because they ring repeatedly and never leave a voicemail.
I have reported this as a scam.
Multiple calls claimed to be from Home Energy to inspect my loft insulation. When I declined, the caller grew hostile, insisting someone would return tomorrow, and became even more aggressive after I stated no one could access the loft.
The call, allegedly about loft installation, turned rude and aggressive; the caller accused me of illegal activity for lacking a survey and threatened a fine.
A man claiming to represent a Home Energy Efficiency Survey Company tried to secure my consent for a free roof‑space inspection to improve insulation. His approach was forceful and aggressive; I repeatedly questioned his claims, even citing Martin Lewis’s comments on outdated loft insulation, while he promoted a dubious Canadian “miracle” product that supposedly adheres to the roof’s underside yet leaves a breathable gap. When I pressed him, his speech accelerated and his aggression heightened. I ended the call, blocked the number and intend to report it to Action Fraud and Trading Standards.
A pushy survey call claimed to be from a government agency about loft insulation, never identified itself, and called back immediately after I hung up. No further calls have come so far.
