Caller was Alex who was "contacting people on behalf of the local council" to ask a series of questions in order to see if I could receive some free green energy support (solar panels/insulation etc). I started answering a couple of questions but asked him to repeat one and there was a pause and then he repeated word for word, tone for tone, I asked him to repeat a couple more times stating I was hard of hearing and realised it was a recording (quite clever). Hung up. Called back a couple days later, I asked for the company name and he could not provide it and would not answer specific questions, just kept going through a script (certain it's a very clever recording). I suspect they are data mining.

loft insurlation
This number rang my landline today. Apparently from Spalding! Dont know Number! When Answering machine came on, the caller hung up! That tells me, its a scammer, as a genuine caller would leave a msg, saying Who & Why they called!
Called twice….told chap not interested and blocked number.
Caller said he was from Green Energy in South London - his database showed my address was one that still had fibreglass insulation in the loft, (in his words, "that fluffy stuff") Then asked if that was correct. I left him to guess the answer & put the phone down
Said they were an Energy Company - I said they were a scammer! They thanked me for my time & put the phone down. It felt kind of automated though, like you were talking to a bot. I’m registered with TPS & do not use my home phone number for anything other than official purposes like doctors/hospital etc, so don’t know how they have the number. Be wary & don’t give information out.
Did not leave a message on answerphone so assumed it was not someone who I wanted to speak to.
man called Chris said he was from Green Energy Advice service based in London .... I asked 3 times where he got my number from before he could say any more he promptly put phone down ..... I guess some kind of Scam
