If it`s an energy caller, then they may as well save their energy, because I have blocked the number, and reported it.

Received four calls, two from this number, this week playing the exact same pre-recorded loft insulation call audio of a guy called Shaun/Sean that might have originally been taken from a legit call. They hang up if you deviate from their pre-recorded audio.

This company has called me 4 times in 2 days from this number as well as other numbers. If it was important I would like to think they would leave a message but they don't, so just being a nuisance
