Doesn’t stop ringing and ringing, I checked number first and didn’t answer .

Very persistent calling even when you ask them not to, most of the time nobody speaks when you answer! If they do talk they quiz you over the Foam Insulation you have had fitted by them, which in our case is a lie, they don't provide company name, clearly a scam.

Dead line on answering

Man (I think recorded) telling me his records show I have foam insulation. I have lived in my home for 47 years and would like to know who sneaked up into my loft unknown to me and managed to foam it! This is getting as bad as telling me I have solar panels - which I don't.
