Expert Opinion
Unsolicited calls from this number typically involve automated bots pushing solar panel sales or energy savings, despite no prior enquiry from recipients. Evidence points to a scam tactic, with computerised voices impersonating names like Richard Johnson to build false rapport. Recipients report immediate hang-ups or aggressive pitches on electric bills, marking it as harassing nuisance. Block the number straight away and report to your provider or Action Fraud to curb further outreach. Enable call screening on your phone to filter such bots, and never share personal details during unexpected calls—it's a common ploy to extract info for identity theft.
