Caution is essential with unsolicited calls from unfamiliar numbers, especially those mentioning home improvements like insulation. These often employ robotic voices to push dubious offers, aiming to extract personal details or payments. Reports indicate persistent attempts from Leeds-based lines, frequently hanging up without messages to evade detection. Hang up immediately if the pitch sounds off, and never share sensitive info. Consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such nuisances, or use call-blocking apps for added protection. If suspicious, report to Action Fraud for investigation.
At 11:30 on the Bank Holiday Monday (5/5/25) a call came to my landline; I missed it and the caller hung up without leaving a message.
One more scam from a Leeds area code, typical.
Pushing spray foam insulation with a robotic tone. Rings a bell with similar numbers hawking the same rubbish.
Another fraud ring about loft insulation. Received multiple insulation scam calls lately. I hung up almost instantly.
I rang back, but it cut off right away; they skipped leaving a voicemail too. Clearly not urgent, or they'd have bothered with a message.
