They claimed to be from an energy company and offered savings on my bills. It sounded pushy and I hung up before giving any details.

This number IS NOT RELATED TO THE ENERGY SAVING TRUST. They called me back in 2025 and I told them to FRO. I contacted the ENERGY SAVING TRUST who told me that they NEVER COLD CALL and the number IS NOT PART OF THE ENERGY SAVING TRUST. THE PEOPLE ARE SCAMERS USING THE ENERGY SAVING TRUST NAME. JUST HANG UP AND REPORT THE NUMBER TO OFCOM etc

Person called pretending to be from the Energy Saving Trust - who do not make cold calls. Wanted to send a surveyor round as apparently I qualified for Government assistance on energy saving measures. I terminated the call. Ignored that I am on the Telephone Preference Service. Reported to the Information Commissioner.

Atleast when you get a phone call from another country you also get an apology and " Have a nice day " I presume it was a spam call.

I've just been called from number 0161 820 6243. Claimed to be linked to the Energy Savings Trust. As it was a cold call I told her that I was not interested and terminated the call.

I've just been called by them. From number 0161 820 6243. Nice old English lady. After a few questions regarding home ownership, ability to control own decisions, she wanted to make an arrangement for a female rep to call on me today at 2pm. Claimed to be linked to the Energy Savings Trust (which is a bona fide organisation), and to not be wanting me to change power supplier. As it felt like a cold call, I refused.
