reported 01256 209 031 as Dangerous
Caller appeared linked to the loft insulation scam that many people have been warning about online. The conversation sounded automated and designed to trick people into responding with personal information.

reported 01256 209 031 as Dangerous
Nuisance caller about loft insulation.

reported 01256 209 031 as Dangerous
Caller gave misleading information about their location and the whole conversation sounded suspicious. Felt serious enough that it should probably be investigated further.

I have put neutral as this caller ring lunchtime today. I was not able to take call. Caller did not leave message on answerphone either. Blocking number.

reported 01256 209 031 as Harassing
Calls keep coming from different but similar numbers almost every day. Extremely annoying nuisance callers who will not stop.

reported 01256 209 031 as Harassing
From a call centre... purporting to be a 'homecare services' agency. I terminated the call forthwith.

If they ‘can you hear me’ put the phone down.
