reported 01253 226 773 as Harassing
Similar to many others before, automated or AI generated voice telling me my lagging might be faulty. Hung up before it finished.

Caller promoted solar panel installation in a suspicious unsolicited sales call

reported 01253 226 773 as Dangerous
Silent call with no response when answered, strongly matches scam behaviour so it has been blocked.

reported 01253 226 773 as Dangerous
Claimed to represent a government body but became aggressive when not successful. Clearly not genuine behaviour.

Repeated silent calls. Not trustworthy and should be blocked.

Would not stop pushing loft insulation despite repeated refusal.

reported 01253 226 773 as Dangerous
An automated female voice with an English accent carried out what sounded like an energy efficiency survey. It seemed like a setup for further contact or a sales visit so I ended the call.

reported 01253 226 773 as Harassing
Dead silence, then hang up.

reported 01253 226 773 as Harassing
Automated energy adviser trying to guide answers towards yes responses, which suggests a scripted sales or scam approach.

reported 01253 226 773 as Harassing
Cold call about energy services that was intercepted before it could proceed further.

reported 01253 226 773 as Neutral
Unknown number so I did not answer. I have reported it to my provider as a precaution.

reported 01253 226 773 as Harassing
Caller introduced himself as James and asked if I was the homeowner. Even after I said no he continued talking, which felt pushy and scripted.

reported 01253 226 773 as Harassing
Caller spoke about loft insulation and continued even after being told I was not interested. The persistence made it feel like a typical sales driven nuisance call.
