Claim to be given numbers, names and addresses by Govt in connection with grants for house insulation.  Wouldn't give the conditions of the grant, but wanted to come to inspect the house.
Registered with TPS so this shouldn't happen.

Idiots calling about bogus grants - all a scam. Patter sounded familiar and rung a bell. Tracked them down

At least this lady was polite, but she was nevertheless hiding behind a carefully worded script that was designed to give the impression that she was doing a survey on behalf of the Scottish government. In response to some equally carefully worded questions, she eventually admitted that they were in fact a private company hoping to sell us "energy saving products".

Time for another complaint to the information commissioner I guess. It's becoming a full time job, but apparently they only actually fine two or three firms a year.  Chocolate teapot?

You "saved" £400 off their price.  Did your mum even bother to compare prices against businesses that don't spend a fortune on telemarketers?  Any other reputable business, or organisations such as CAB, would have helped her get the forms sorted out, and she would most likely have a few more hundreds in the building society. I think they saw your mum coming.

Our persistent nuisance caller is 08443 760087 but they are the same disreputable company calling themselves ( what cheek!)  Energy Audit Scotland.
If you try to call them back you get an unobtainable sound.
TPS is useless for blocking them .
There are only three courses open.
1 trace their  address and confront them.
2 ignore their calls- easier if you have caller display.
3 pay the modest charge to BT to block them though it is galling to have to do this.
If anyone does find their address I would volunteer to pay them a visit in Theodore Roosevelt style.

Energy Audit Scotland / Heat&Home Ltd - make your own mind up:

Initial call from Energy Audit Scotland - ran through questions on cavity wall, double glazing, central heating, loft insulation.   Said they'd get back to me with my energy report.

I don't have cavity walls, double glazing was done in April, and loft was done January, but I'm looking to replace the boiler.

Second call - my energy report - confirmed everything I already knew (up to spec, not elligible for grants), but did say they could recommend someone to look at the boiler.   I played along.   We'll pass your details to Heat&Home Ltd and they'll arrange to come and have a look.

Salesman turned up, had a look, talked the talk, told me all about the wonderful recommendations they get from judges, lawyers, doctors, police, nurses - 1/3 of their business comes through referals.   Said I'd get a grant of £400 from Energy Audit Scotland (which after some research, turns out to be the same owner as Heat&HomeLtd - there is NO government agency).   I let him proceed to give me a full quote, which showed the total, then the £400 "reduction".   The price was in the ballpark I'd expected, but given the lies over Energy Audit Scotland I suspect I'll go elsewhere.

Make your own mind up.   I have no idea if they are any good or not.   That's a story I'll let BBC Watchdog investigate.

Energy Audit Scotland - "doing research on behalf of a private company."
Would not disclose the name of their client.
Argued that the call was research not sales therefore they can ignore the TPS status.
This is fine for those of us who are wise to this but older people are probably taken in as they are entitled to discounts on energy savings products. Come to think of it they might think I'm in that group and that's why the calls are increasing!!!
We have caller recognition now because TPS seem unable to stop this.

Glad I found this.  Following the above information and some more digging on the internet, I have no confidence in Heat and Home Ltd and am now questioning everything their salesman and their fitter discussed with me.

I have just told Heat and Home to cancel my order for a new boiler.  They were rather annoyed, but nowhere near as annoyed as I was.  They understandably hung up when, after trying to justify themselves, they said that my boiler still needs replacing and I responded with, "it does, but it won't be your company who do it"

Like others, I had had a call from Energy Audit Scotland and was led to believe that they were phoning on behalf of the Scottish Government.  Like others, I'm registered with TPS.  Their "expert" called back a couple of weeks later with my energy audit.  They recommended Heat and Home Ltd who could give me a free no obligation quotation for a new boiler to replace my ageing back boiler.  All seemed plausible so far, although I'm annoyed with myself for not smelling a rat.  I got the quotation from their salesman and since it was around what I was expecting, I signed up and paid my deposit.

I'm sure they worded and phrased everything well.  They claimed that Heat and Home are a family business and that they have the contract for this area for Energy Audit Scotland (who I assumed were working on behalf of the government.)  At no point was I corrected when I discussed their exclusive "government contract".

So, this is day 7 of my legal cooling off period and I am about to send written confirmation of my cancellation.  At this stage, I'm worried about my deposit, but as it's on the credit card, I should have some protection if this gets nasty.

Thanks for this information.

I'm just off to the Post Office to send the cancellation by recorded delivery.  If there's any problems with the refund, I'll be having a word with Trading Standards, the Energy Savings Trust and local politicians.  In fact, I may do so anyway once I get the refund.

This number has been calling me regularly and not leaving any message.   I have no idea who this is but  it is obviously a number others have had trouble with

Neighbour has just had salesman from heat&home giving her quotation for 4 oil filled radiators, she is on her own and unsure of price and firm, she was contacted by telemarketer, price is £2500.00 they will take out existing heating and put in new sockets, this is for 3 apt terraced house. is this about normal.

After reading all your information I would be inclined to dissuade her, would I be write.

This number called twice. First time my wife could not answer it (she has dementia) second time we were out.
This stresses my Wife and on my calling the number back it disconnects a second after it starts to ring !

Funny when you call the number back it does not ring just goes beep beep beep
They should not be cold calling TPS nos

Called but did not leave a message

Been getting regular calls from this number so good to get confirmation that it is a junk caller.  I work on the principle that if a caller does not speak to the answer machine then it is likely to be a junk caller so leave it.

I have given up the TPS, they are just a waste of space.  I have been getting repeated calls from 01143072406 since March, often many in the same day.  I was reporting them all to TPS but they obviously don't do anything so I stopped bothering.

A number of calls from this number - usually at inappropriate times - bad line and unable to hear the caller clearly, so frustrating to say the least, and from someone unknown to me,  two calls in the last 12 hours. Please get this cold calling stopped.0141382187 is the number in question

Can I just point out that the Bellshill company may be related,but its not the 0141 number.s Bellshill is an 01698 number.Pain in the backside either way!

I actually had a call from this company ref a government grant, who sent a surveyor to my property and done my insulation for completly free.

I was very happy with the service and recevied the grant they were taking about.

Nice try. This site is to report suspect numbers and companies. People do NOT come on here to praise companies unless they are in on the scam.

They are now calling themselves ESI
Number they called from was 0141 438 2187
Same score as above - Government survey etc - will send round a government inspector - will only take 10 mins. Tell you that a 75% grant is yours for the taking.
Was reluctant initially to tell me who was calling.
He will arrive tomorrow but no-one will be at home.
They waste my time, I waste theirs.
Female that phoned was called Lorraine and gave me a direct dial no of 0141 274 2108

Kept getting calls from ESI checked them out myself, got insulation done by the company said was awarded a 75% grant, charged me £149 for job bit miss leading at first but still got the job done and then someone came to inspect it.

Is this site not called WhoCallsMe, i came on at first to check them and when found out was all good thought would let other people know.

Had a call from them today and and told they were calling on behalf of the Scottish Government!
I gave some information about the property and was told I'd get 100% grant for my loft......but they couldn't tell me how much that was.  Asked if I would have to pay anything?....couldn't answer that either until the viewed the property.

So the call was all about getting an appointment to view the property before they give you any informtation on the value of grant (i.e. what was the maximum sum) or what it might cost you on top of the 100% grant.

If you're an older person suggest you contact S.C.A.R.F. who are a charity helping older people with this sort of thing.

Rang 14 45 no message nothing. Found they are a bunch of scammers this lot should be nicked.Registered with TPS they are as useful as a chocolate fire guard so why register.

The number: 01414382187 called yesterday afternoon, thankfully I was out at that time. It's a total pain in the ...! these  companies or whatever flout the TPS rules by calling themselves 'researchers' or whatever. Every week brings a  new variety, only last week I got rid of these callers speaking in Indian accents spinning the Microsoft/computer infected scam. In the end I told the guy to "F.O!!!", it seemed to work, as there was a call soon after I'm assuming from the same caller saying something unintelligible, had peace after that ;-).
It would be fine if they rang the once, took it on board you weren't interested &  just left you in peace, but no sadly.
