Telemarketers exploiting outdated energy efficiency schemes still plague UK households, often with tactics like claiming you're the 'last property' eligible for a loft insulation survey. These cold calls typically involve automated dialling systems causing delays before a rep connects, as reported in multiple instances. While not outright dangerous, they can be intrusive and lead to unwanted sales pressure. Block the number immediately and register with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce such nuisances. If pressed, hang up without engaging—sharing details only invites more hassle. Report persistent callers to Ofcom for potential fines under nuisance call regulations.
