"Nusiance call: 3 times this morning, so far. Reason: Save money on energy bills and fix damp from old loft insulation. 
 Sounds like a recording with pauses for your replies - Doesn't listen! 
 'My loft is boarded.'; 'I don't have any damp in my loft.'; 'I'm happy with my current set up.'; 'I'm not interested.' etc..............
 Hung up the phone!!!!! 
 Is linked to series of numbers from Manchester. Use a call blocker, if you have one."
"Very persuasive AI call that knew my first name. Said they could help save money by switching utilities or white goods insurance and stuff. I mentioned I could save by cutting off my electricity, and it agreed but said I’d lose access to electrical appliances!"
"telemarketing or "energy" scam calls."
"Someone called from ‘BillCompare’ and told me that I was paying too much on my energy bills. I didn’t ask for a comparison of my bills, or share how much I paid with anyone. The call seemed dodgy to me. I questioned them and they got defensive, and then they hung up once I told them to remove my number. Watch out for strange behaviour."

"They phoned, said they were Go Compare and could help save money on fuel bills. No thanks."
