Didn’t answer as the number isn’t in my call register. Checked on this site & seems I was right not to answer, have blocked the number on my phone.

Scam/Fraud
27 Nov 2025
In my area calling about insulation in the loft. When did I have it checked? I should have asked him which was my area? The number meant he was not in my area. I said I would research the matter but would not use you as I do not know who you are. Nothing further said. I ended the call. Certain scam. East Northamptonshire
