Cold caller & I am on phone preference service - started on his spiel about how my home had been reported as having incorrect type of loft insulation. When he’d spoken over me a couple of times I said ‘I am hanging up now’ and did so.

Same clown who rang me last week (Chris). My "energy advisor" Got the same reply and hung up

User reported 028 4052 0861 as Harassing

said he was an energy advisor and could send a surveyor to check my loft insulation free. I became suspicious when he suggested I made the surveyor a cup of tea. Also he could not give me a phone number to contact them very strange.

Called in regards to loft insulation, asking if I knew the type my home had and if I had a loft space or a room. He asked if my age was between 40 and 80, I asked "Of what concern is my age to you?" he repeated the question, so I repeated my answer. He then moved to the next part of the script, asking if I could spell out my surname, I replied "No" and hung up.
