Scam Loft Insulation Call

Now this alert is really hot off the press. It happened about an hour or ago as it happens. And of all people that the scammers tried to target was? It was in fact our ever vigilant safety campaigner, John from Blacon. Yes, John himself received a scam phone call. As it happens this one turned out to be a scam loft insulation call.

Who’d have thought, our very own vigilant Chester Crimewatch guru being directly targeted himself. What were the scammers thinking!!! If only they knew that they phoned the wrong person. Very much so. Talk about walking into the lions den.

Anyway, find out what happened to John about an hour or so ago.

Scam Loft Insulation Call Warning

Here’s what John has to say. Take heed folks. And yet again, spread the word wherever you can.

“Householders are being warned to remain alert following a spate of scam loft insulation calls. I personally received one of these calls moments ago, hence entering this warning here for your information.

It said: “We have received reports of calls to residents from a trader stating that their loft insulation may not meet new Government Regulations, and as such, may be causing damp.”

The caller then goes on to offer a free survey of the loft, and attempts to make an appointment. This information is false. Always be wary of any approach made in a telephone cold call and never give or confirm any personal details or agree to someone visit your home if approached in this manner.

Scam Loft Installation Call-John’s Call

Here’s details of the call John received a short while ago.

MY PERSONAL PHONE CALL RECEIVED

It was blatantly obvious to me that the young man informing me of the above was reading (not particularly well) from a set of written words about the “so called” problem my loft insulation could be causing me.

One line was especially interesting and I quote, “We can survey your loft to see what existing problems there may be and make arrangements with you for a free survey to be carried out.”

My immediate reply was, “How do YOU know that my loft has not been surveyed recently?”, at which point he hung up. He clearly didn’t know that I had a new roof, complete with new loft insulation, fitted just 2 years ago!“

Thanks so very much again John for details of this scam loft insulation call doing the rounds. As ever, it is very useful and informative. It goes without saying they phoned the wrong person and you were no doubt “well on your toes” when the call came through.

And to repeat myself – spread the word wherever you can.
