About the number

Calls from 01254421160 are consistently reported as nuisance and scam activity. Many are silent calls, dropped calls, or hang-ups when voicemail answers, suggesting automated dialling. When someone does speak, they typically claim to be an area energy or power adviser, often pushing solar power or loft insulation, sometimes using a rushed or robotic script. Multiple reports confirm it is not a genuine service, with callers ignoring no-contact preferences and repeating the same energy-related scam approach.

Well spoken woman said I was eligible for Solar Energy. Said I wasn't interested and delete my number from database - we shall see

Said we were on a UK database for energy improvements - Solar in particular. She was polite - but I declined the call. We have solar panels for over 3 years!! So told her to question the "database" if indeed there is one. Thanks Google - you alerted me to this being a scam call.

Ignored, went to answerphone, then hung up.

They called our landline, which always arouses our suspicions as we don't use it anymore and the only calls we get on it are from con artists. But I picked it up, waited several seconds but nobody spoke back. I've now blocked the number.

reported 01254 421 160 as Harassing
The call dropped quickly when it was not answered and no message was left. That usually means it was not a genuine caller.

reported 01254 421 160 as Harassing
When answered there was a pause, then a rushed script about solar power. I hung up quickly. It did not sound like a genuine enquiry at all.

I received a call from this number today. I usually let the call go through to my answering machine but I was curious to see who this might be. I was half expecting it to be a scam call and it was. The person said " how are you today are you well I am your energy advisor for your area" I thought I bet you are !!! I just said " I can't take your call, goodbye" and blocked the number. I have found out that this area code is in the Blackburn area of the UK.
