The caller made a comment about London locations that did not seem accurate, which made the whole conversation feel unreliable and questionable.

reported 01253 226 766 as Dangerous
The caller asked for their address again in a vague way, which seemed suspicious and did not feel like a legitimate enquiry.

This appears to be a loft insulation scam that has been widely reported online. These calls often try to get you to say yes or engage in conversation, which can then be misused. It is best not to interact and to treat any unexpected contact like this with caution as they can be quite persistent and convincing.

Unsolicited calls.

Caller introduced himself as James and claimed to be a local energy advisor. When questioned about his company, the answer sounded vague and unconvincing.

reported 01253 226 766 as Dangerous
A caller claiming to be James sounded like an automated system. It seems these calls may be recorded and could be used to capture voice responses, which raises serious concerns.
