The number +441614208705 is a UK landline (Manchester area) reported on spam‑reporting sites as an aggressive telemarketing/scam line linked to “Green ECO Centre” loft‑insulation cold calls. Online reports describe harassment and unwanted sales pitches rather than verified fraud, but the pattern fits nuisance/possible scam calls, so it is best not to answer or engage. 1. It appears to be a UK geographic landline (0161 Manchester) used for telemarketing, commonly associated in user reports with a company called “Green ECO Centre” offering loft insulation and related services. 2. People describe it on spam‑report sites (e.g., tellows) as making repeated, disruptive cold calls, often during work hours, with claims about loft insulation that “don’t cause mould,” and hanging up when told they’re not interested or that the recipient is TPS‑registered. 3. It is associated with unwanted telemarketing and harassment‑style calls; while not definitively labeled as a confirmed fraud line in official sources, the behavior matches typical spam/scam cold‑calling patterns. 4. The number is publicly exposed in spam/scam report databases and caller‑ID sites (it appears on tellows and similar lookup pages with user comments), but there is no evidence here of it being part of a leaked/breached dataset or paste‑site dump. 5. It is not advisable to answer or call back; if answered by mistake, do not share personal/financial details, hang up, and consider blocking/reporting the number via your provider or 7726 (for texts) and relevant UK nuisance‑call reporting channels.

Despite being registered with the TPS, I receive many calls from this number saying "Can you hear me?" and "Hi, I'm James (or Mark), I'm your local energy adviser ...". I challenged the last caller and asked who he was employed by and he said "The Green Eco Centre" in London (even though the dialling code 0161 is Manchester). When I asked what he was selling he said "There's nothing to worry about" and then blathered on about old loft insulation causing mould and I should have mine checked (yet at no point did I confirm I was the home owner or that I even had loft insulation, despite him asking). I'm now going to make a complaint to the TPS about this company.
