They just call and the location seems to come from Manchester but the dude is Indian. I like to pick up the phone and just be silent and make them lose their time too lol

A lady introduced herself as ‘Stacey’ from the ‘Energy Advice Centre’. Didn’t let her go any further and ended the call.

Claiming to be from "The Energy Advice Centre" offering a free 'loft survey', but the website address they gave me didn't exist and they couldn't give me a working inbound phone number to call back on! They knew my full name and address though, which is rather concerning!
