Age UK has informed me of a suspicious phone call made to one of their elderly residents within Cambridgeshire.
The caller stated they represented a company called ‘Vision Home’ that provided loft insulation services.
The caller claimed to work on behalf of Age UK.
The call appears to have been made from the Bournemouth area, but as we all know, the caller ID displayed is not always accurate.
Age UK have confirmed that they have no connection with a company called Vision Home.
I have checked Companies House on gov.uk, and although there are many similar sounding companies, there are none that appear to be from the Bournemouth area.
On balance, this appears to a scam or cold call so should you hear of similar calls across Cambridgeshire then please contact 101 and report.
I have searched this number against the website www.who-called.co.uk and you will see details below and clearly a number not to engage with.
