"Female AI voice. Only able to respond to "yes" or "no." Wants to arrange for an energy adviser to call. Scam."
"This is a scam call from a so-called "Local Energy Advisor". She calls from diferent numbers each time, so thereβs no way to track her down. I tried to get the name of the company she works for, but she won't acknowledge the request and just talks over you. After I kept asking who she works for, she hung up, so I guess sheβs working on her own maybe."

No matter how polite you are, she just keeps going with her pointless script, so I usually hang up in the end. I wonβt discuss anything over the phone these days. There are just too many fraudsters around now."
"Male voice this time but same old "I'm the local energy advisor for your postcode. I take it you're the home owner". Said this to the answerphone even though the message had already played saying we weren't in. Dumb? Automated questions? We said nothing. Call ended with "Thank you for calling.""

"This number has called me twice this morning - about 1 hour apart. It says its from Emma ??? - Local Energy Adviser - but it is clearly a fully recorded/automated call. They should NOT be calling as I am registered on TPS. I VERY much doubt it is from a genuine energy adviser. I get masses of calls from various people claiming to be Energy Advisers."

"Automated call saying she was my local energy advisor and asked if I owned my home. I got her to repeat the information when I asked. I asked what organisation she was from. She said she couldnt hear me and would call back later and hung up. On a previous similar occasion I went through the process of arranging an appointment for a representative to visit me. When he arrived I told him I wasnt interested. Despite wasting his time he took it rather well. Will report to ICO"
"A woman on the call said she was my energy advisor and tried to get my identity. I've never had an energy advisor so she couldn't have been mine. This was clearly a SCAM attempt. I never share any identifying info with cold callers or details about any accounts I might have."
"Claiming to be carrying out free solar reports on my panels. They're not the company who installed them, no company gives a service for free. Couldn't provide reason how they got my number, couldn't confirm my address against my number... they've just bought a list and are scamming people."
