These calls are an AI bot trying to catch you with the 'loft insulation scam' or the 'solar panel scam'. Look them up. The internet is full of warnings. And NEVER say 'yes' to a scammer and NEVER say more than a couple of words to a scammer. All calls are now recorded. Google 'saying yes scams' and 'voice cloning scams' for information and advice about this dangerous emerging AI threat that scammers are learning to use. To help stop ALL scam attempts ALL must be reported onto the official police and OfCom systems set up by the last government to record investigate and deal with them. Text phone call number and details (including silent calls) to 7726. Repeat when instructed to confirm. Also report on the phone's spam report facility. Forward texts to 7726 AND report on the text spam report facility. Check for any response as you may need to confirm. Forward scam emails to 'report@phishing.gov.uk' AND report on the email phishing report system: 3 dots right corner.

Recorded voice call about solar panels. It did not respond to anything I said and just continued talking. Definitely an automated spam call.

Call came through but no message left. After checking reports it appears linked to scam activity so I have avoided it.

These calls are usually automated systems trying to push insulation or solar schemes. Comes across as a setup for a scam.

Another call offering insulation or window related services. Unwanted and persistent.

reported 01253 226 745 as Dangerous
Automated voice claiming to be a local advisor. Did not respond naturally and kept talking over me. Very unnatural interaction.

Claimed to be a local energy advisor named James. Did not seem genuine at all.

Keeps calling claiming to be a local energy team offering grants. Talks over you and does not listen.
