When I pressed the caller who introduced herself as Nicky about her affiliation, she abruptly dropped the call. The number was spoofed – definitely a scam.

Expert Opinion
Beware of unsolicited calls pushing loft insulation deals, as they often mask scam attempts. These calls typically start with promises of free surveys for over-50s, but callers dodge details on costs or products when pressed, then hang up if challenged. This pattern screams telemarketing fraud, aiming to extract personal info or lead to overpriced services. Hang up immediately on unknown numbers and never share details. To stay safe, register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut nuisance calls, and report suspects to Action Fraud. If you've engaged, monitor accounts for odd activity.

Recent Reports for 01340 696045
Earlier today a woman named Nicky rang, pretending to be from an energy‑saving firm and asked about my loft insulation. She claimed they were targeting homes in my area and offering free loft surveys for over‑50s. After answering a few questions I queried the insulation type and installation cost, but she couldn't provide details and eventually admitted she worked for a marketing agency unrelated to energy, essentially pitching an unnamed business.
I was away from home and wouldn't have answered an unknown number – turned out to be an insulation scam.
