In the midst of a quiet afternoon, these calls from unknown numbers often catch folks off guard. This number's linked to a persistent scam pushing spray foam insulation certificates, with callers using accents and personal details to seem legit—though they dodge questions and hang up when challenged. Reports highlight repeated harassment, even for TPS-registered lines, raising privacy worries. Hang up immediately if it rings a bell; never share info or confirm details. Block the number and report to Action Fraud for tracking. Stay vigilant against these tactics, as they prey on confusion to extract data or push fake services. If alarmed by name usage, check your data exposure online.
Received a call to my landline from this number just now. The man, with an Indian accent, knew my unusual first name and insisted he wasn't selling insulation but the certificate. I ended the call. Shocked that he knew my rare name—I've only encountered one other person with it in my life. We're TPS registered too.
A chap with an Indian twang inquired if I owned the property, then spouted a wrong postcode for my landline. I pointed out the error, yet he dove into his pitch on spray foam roof insulation. I fired back, 'How many more of you lot will ring about this? I live on the ground floor!' Doubt he stuck around to hear the end. This is beyond a joke—I'm fielding at least two such calls weekly from varying numbers on this con. Getting right fed up.
No voicemail from the caller; it's flagged as an insulation fraud.
Pretends to offer a complimentary Insulation Certificate. Couldn't specify the firm or justify issuing it sight unseen. Total con
Con involving spray foam insulation
Insulation scam once more, inquiring if I'm the homeowner and about prior insulation work. They claimed the installer shared my info. When I pressed for the company's name, they couldn't say. I asked if calling from the UK, and they hung up. Don't respond to their queries—counter with your own questions.
The conversation was regarding a certificate for spray foam insulation.
Missed the incoming call!
Went totally silent when the missus answered, then dropped dead. Got it blocked pronto.
Got a call from this number just now; male caller with Asian accent knew my name and claimed we were listed in a register for homes with spray foam insulation installed, which we don't have. I hung up then. Suspect they planned to offer removal of non-existent dodgy insulation.
Shady outfit, some insulation outfit – rang before too. Asian accent, hard to follow.
