called a few times, but I never picked up. They never left a message

reported 01490 590 194 as Harassing
Did not answer the call, the caller did not leave a message. Couldn't have been important.

Asian sounding male called 'Harry' offering free loft insulation inspection that would last 20 minutes. Offered no identification but stated he wasn't selling anything. When challenged about lifting screwed down loft boards and me having had two surveys (perhaps not true) in the last month he resorted to saying he wouldn't call again if I took up the offer. His last throw of the dice was 'do you want the survey or not'. I replied 'not'. Third call of this nature I've had in a month.

Male with heavy accent about funding for insulation. Suspect scam

reported 01490 590 194 as Dangerous
Contact about loft insulation funding. The caller tried to sound official but provided no verifiable details. I believe this is part of an insulation scam campaign.

Phonely's digital landline was built specifically to protect vulnerable people from nuisance and scam calls. See how Phonely protects your home phone or compare the best digital landline UK.
