Phone number ☎️ 0016312017034 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated scam originating from overseas, often the USA, involving callers who claim to represent merger and acquisition firms targeting shareholders of well-known companies for hostile takeovers. Callers, frequently using aliases like Mary or Ryan Williams and company names such as Lodestone Partners or Gildon International, pressure recipients to sign non-disclosure agreements and provide personal information, falsely promising high returns on shares. The scam often involves pushing for deposits or fees and becomes aggressive or abusive when challenged. Victims have warned of harassing repeated calls, threats, and impersonation of legitimate firms. It’s advised to block the number, avoid engagement, never disclose personal details, and report incidents to Action Fraud and the FCA to help combat these fraudulent operations.
Reports on phone number 0016312017034
3 yearsThis number popped up loads over the years, always ringing, so I left a message for Mary on their answering machine. Could hear loads of people chatting away in the background, sounded like a busy call centre. It’s one of those boiler room scams, no doubt about it. Best to steer clear or you’ll end up out of pocket for sure.Mary4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be working for a client trying to take over GSK. When I told them I wasn’t keen, they just hung up on me.GSK4 yearsSame old rubbish about some hostile takeover - this time it was IAG (you know, British Airways / Iberia / Aer Lingus) and some bloke pretending to represent a client, claiming they’d buy our shares for double what they closed at today. I just told him I’ve heard this nonsense way too many times and told him to jog on.IAGBritish AirwaysIberiaAer Lingus4 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent, saying something about National Grid shares. I hung up straight away, but he kept ringing back. Each time I answered, I just quickly put the phone down, hoping he’d stop. Eventually, I let it go to voicemail, and he left a foul-mouthed message. After that, two more calls came through with threats, like he knew where I lived and was going to send a bomb. This kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable. No one should have to deal with stuff like this.National Grid4 yearsHe spoke with an American accent and it was totally a scam, no doubt!4 yearsGot a call around 6.30pm from a bloke with a British accent using the number 001631201703. He claimed he could help me sell shares I supposedly own in Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE). Asked for my email, but I don't actually have one - I usually just borrow my cousin's for stuff online. He said he’d send some paperwork to that email. Rang SSE the next day and they told me straight up it was a scam. Watch out for this one.ScottishSouthern EnergySSE4 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an accent who claimed he was with "Mergers and Acquisitions", but when I asked which firm, he wouldn’t say. Kept bringing up "BP" shares, or maybe it was "BPP" - not entirely sure. Oddly, he did know my name right.Mergers and AcquisitionsBP4 yearsJust like others said, a woman with an Asian accent phoned asking to talk to my missus about some shares. She wasn’t in at the time, so I told the caller to hang on and left the phone near the telly. I ended up hearing a bit of Sky News for a few mins before they hung up. Definitely sounded like a scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.Sky News4 yearsOn the 5th of May 2022, this number rang our house asking for my husband. I wanted to know who was calling, so I asked the name and the reply was ‘Ray’. Naturally, I inquired further, asking ‘Ray who?’ and that's when things turned nasty. The person started swearing at me, called me a ‘mother F’, then just cut the call. Very rude!Ray4 yearsGot a call from this number pretty late at night asking about shareholdings in my business. Felt a bit off since I don’t actually own any shares, so pretty sure it’s some sort of scam.4 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, and they keep asking for my mum who's passed away. When I tell them she's no longer here, they just laugh and start being really rude. It's horrible and I can't believe no one's stopped them yet. I worry about others who might not have anyone to help them deal with this.4 yearsGot a call from someone who turned rude as soon as I started asking questions. They didn’t stop ringing me, kept on pestering like it was their job or something. Total scam, honestly.4 yearsA man called me, sounded like he had an Asian accent. He asked for my dad using his full name, but he’s been gone for 13 years now. He was trying to get me involved in some story about Aviva shares and dividends unpaid or something like that. I have no clue about these shares. Thinking it was some sort of scam, I told him he had the wrong info. He just hung up instantly. His accent was hard to understand and what he said didn’t make much sense, so not really sure what his scam was meant to be.Aviva4 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a foreign accent, maybe Asian? He was asking for my dad by his full name - who’s been gone for over a decade now. He tried to pull me into some story about Aviva shares and dividends that supposedly hadn’t been paid out. I don’t know anything about shares like that. Thinking it was dodgy, I told him he must have the wrong info. Suddenly, he just hung up on me. His accent made it pretty tricky to figure out exactly what the scam was meant to be.Aviva4 yearsThis was definitely a scam call.Scam4 yearsThey claimed to be some kind of acquisition firm.4 yearsI got a call from this number recently, they were looking for someone who doesn’t live at my place and even gave an entirely different address. They managed to get my phone number right but mixed up the name and address. This isn’t the first time I’ve had calls about this person and address, and I’ve told them before to update their mailing lists because the info they have is wrong.4 yearsGot a call from Ryan Williams over at Lodestone Partners, based on 50th Street, New York. He was talking about BP Plc shares and mentioned there’s a hostile takeover bid on the table, offering about £17 a share. Quite something!Ryan WilliamsLodestone PartnersBP Plc4 yearsWas that Mary from Carnival Cruises plc who just called me? Not quite sure if it’s legit or some sales thing. Anyone else get this?MaryCarnival Cruises Ltd4 yearsThis scam is surprisingly smart and quite complex. I've seen a few other comments below that share more details and tips on how to report it.4 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said he was "Tony Lewis" working at Lodestone Partners. He spoke English really well but had an accent. He somehow already knew my name and that I owned shares in some company. The story he told was pretty confusing and difficult to keep up with, but basically, he wanted to send me a document via email to sign and send back.Tony LewisLodestone Partners4 yearsI got a call from a woman called Mary Swann claiming she was ringing from New York. She said her firm was working for a client trying to make a hostile bid for a famous Insurance Company. She appeared to know I owned shares in this company and even had my home address. Before sharing more info, she wanted me to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Since then, they've phoned me three more times, offering to buy my shares at five times their current price. I've now blocked their number because I reckon this is all a con.Mary SwannNew York4 yearsGot a call from some guy in the States around 7.30pm. Told him it wasn’t really a good time to chat, but he just carried on. Then he started talking about Nation Grid shares - which I don’t even own. I told him straight up it was a scam and told him to bugger off, then ended the call. Not five seconds later, he rings back. Had to block the number after that.StatesNational Grid4 yearsI got a call around 2pm on 9th March 2022 from someone named Ryan Williams who spoke with a strong American accent. He was asking for my partner about putting in an offer on Imperial Tobacco plc shares. He said he was from some place called Relieverdale, but the way he spoke was kinda confusing. He kept wanting to know when he'd be able to ring back, so I told him maybe in a month, which was true. He asked me to say it again, and I also mentioned that Imperial Tobacco is now called Imperial Brands. Then suddenly, he just snapped, swearing at me and then hanging up on me.Ryan WilliamsImperial Tobacco plcRelieverdaleImperial TobaccoImperial Brands4 yearsAbsolutely clueless about this number, never asked to be called by them. I’m just gonna keep blocking and ignoring it from now on.4 yearsGot a call from a guy with a strange accent who somehow knew my name. Couldn't make out much apart from something about shares in the National Grid. Pretty clear it was a scam, so I just told him I was onto him and hung up straight away.National Grid4 yearsThis number has called me 3 times now. The first time, last week, they specifically asked for my late husband by name. I told them he’d passed away and they just cut off. Then, two days ago, they called again and asked the same thing. I told them he died over a decade ago and ended the call. Yesterday evening, right before I was heading out, they rang once more. This time, they said something about shares and that I was owed a portion of it. I asked for some documentation, which they said they’d send, but I’m really not expecting anything legit.4 yearsGot a call from someone with a foreign accent, they were asking loads of questions about shares. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.4 yearsGot a call from some guy named Henry, who was going on about shares with this English building society - mind you, he couldn't even say their name right! Weirdest thing ever.Henry4 yearsGot calls two nights running, definitely a scam crew behind it!4 yearsI just had a call from a bloke overseas wanting to chat about shares in Meggitt plc. Bit random, but I guess that’s what happens sometimes!Meggitt plc5 yearsThey kept ringing me up, real pushy about handing over my Centrica shares to them. Didn’t stop bugging me about it.Centrica5 yearsI got a call from this number 163 120 17034, and the guy on the other end sounded like he was from another country. It was a bloke, but I couldn't catch the name he said properly. He kept going on for ages, but honestly, about three quarters of what he said went over my head. Seemed like he was trying to buy some shares in Barratt holdings or something. I told him no thanks, no way I'm selling!Barratt Holdings5 yearsGot a call from this number twice in under an hour. The person used the exact same name both times. They mentioned they were calling from the US, which sounded a bit legit because there was a lot of noise like a call centre in the background. Strangely, the company they claimed to call for isn't actually American. When I questioned them, they got quite rude.USAStates5 yearsJust like others have said about this number, the guy on the phone spoke with a foreign accent. He gave a name something like Henrik, but when I asked him again, he sounded unsure. He said he was ringing from Barrett Developments about shares and even mentioned the name of the person he was after. I told him to send me what he wanted in writing. He kept pushing but ended up hanging up. Sounds like it could be a risky phishing scam to me.HenrikBarrett Developments5 yearsI usually just ignore calls on my landline cos I reckon it's probably one of those scams. If it really mattered, they’d leave a voicemail. It’s about 7 pm and no message, so dunno who it was.5 yearsAt 6:13 pm, I got a call from 0016312017034. I picked up but all I heard was some mumbling and then the call just got cut off. Weird experience!5 yearsGot a call from 00016312017034 about National Grid shares, they used my first two names and sounded like they had an accent from abroad. When I asked if they had any other names to confirm, I said it didn’t feel genuine and just ended the call.National Grid5 yearsApparently, a firm linked to this number was connected with another business looking into the takeover of Egg plc by Prudential plc.Prudential plcEgg plc5 yearsGot a call around 6:30pm on the 18th of Jan from a US number, but BT Guardian blocked it automatically. The caller said their name was "Bob", but I didn’t recognise the name and let it go to voicemail. No message was left. After reading some other reviews, I reckon it was probably a scam.BT GuardianBob5 yearsI got a call claiming to be from a law firm in New York. They said they needed my personal details to present me with an offer about some BP shares takeover that was supposedly coming. Seemed really dodgy to me!New YorkBP5 yearsI got a call from a woman speaking with a very thick foreign accent, really hard to catch what she was saying. She said something about Vodafone Holdings and was asking to speak to someone in my family. She kept pushing, trying to get their contact details. I nearly got fooled by it. Had to cut it short since I needed to leave, which seemed to annoy her and she started being rude. Glad I checked here and found out this number’s often linked to calls about different companies.Vodafone Holdings5 yearsGot a call from 0016312017034 but they didnt leave any voice message. Wondering who it was?5 yearsGot a call with someone speaking in an American accent, claiming it was about my Cable & Wireless shares. Never had any shares like that, so totally pointless call. Just a complete waste of time.Cable & Wireless5 yearsShe said her name was Mary. I've gotten calls from her loads of times on my mobile but today she rang from a landline. Didn't even let her get a word out before I blocked the number.Mary5 yearsThey sounded really professional and were asking about buying ICHG shares, which I actually own. Mentioned it was for a hostile takeover and wanted my email to send info about signing a non-disclosure agreement.ICHG5 yearsAt about 6.15, I got a call supposedly from Tata Steel. I asked why they were ringing so late. They said it was about shareholders or something. Then they asked for my email, but I just said they already have it and hung up.Tata Steel5 yearsGot really nasty as soon as I started asking questions.5 yearsThey told me I’d get my money back after selling my shares, but it’s a total scam asking for £6,034 as a bond. Sounds dodgy to me.5 yearsGot a call from a woman with a strange accent asking for my email so her company could buy shares in IHG for some kind of hostile takeover. When I said no, she got really rude and started insulting me, even threatening to send Covid to my family claiming she knew where I live. I told her I’d contact the police, she just laughed and ended the call. After that, she kept calling nonstop for about 20 minutes, but I didn’t answer. Really disturbing scam, be careful out there.IHGCovid5 yearsGot a call from some bloke wanting to talk about Corus shares I offloaded like two decades ago, just like a few others mentioned in their comments here.5 yearsSo this evening I got a call from a woman called Christina Wilson, she was talking about some SSE shares I supposedly own. She’s meant to ring me back tomorrow. I had a funny feeling about it straight away and after reading other folks’ comments here, it sounds a bit sketchy. I don’t really know if I’ve got anything to stress about, but I did give her my email address... now I’m a bit uneasy about that.Christina Wilson5 yearsGot a call from someone with a Far East accent claiming to be with Aviva, asking for backing on a takeover deal for a company. Sounds dodgy to me, probably a scam or maybe the beginning of some phishing scheme.Aviva5 yearsAnswered the phone but no one spoke, just faint voices in the background like a call centre or something. No message left at all.5 yearsSomebody phoned wanting to talk to my husband. I told them he passed away 12 years ago and then ended the call. I've actually had a few calls like that over time asking for him.5 yearsHad a call from some bloke about my wife's shares, but she hasn't got any. Definitely a scam.5 yearsGot a call from +1 631 201 7034 on 16/11/21, and it was a total scam. They said something about Standard Life shareholders being offered £15 to £30 per share and trying to boost their stake from 41% up to 51% in the company. Absolute con artists, be careful! They need to be stopped and locked away for good. Such ruthless behaviour!U. S.Standard Life5 yearsGot a call from a woman talking about my partner’s shares out of the blue. Didn’t hang about, just ended the call. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.5 yearsI got a call from 0016312017034 just after 5:30. The person spoke really fast and had a foreign accent. They mentioned something about my wife’s shares. I asked if she was working overtime and then suddenly there was silence, so I just ended the call.5 yearsWhen I picked up, there was no voicemail or message left behind.5 yearsPhone rang and when I picked up there was nothing said, looks like a scam to me, check out other people's notes.5 yearsI got a call from a young woman with an accent I couldn't place. She wanted to talk to my elderly mum and asked for her by name. When I told her I was the daughter, she just ended the call straight away.5 yearsThis was totally a scam call. They said it was about some hostile takeover of Standard Life. But the moment I asked how they got my info, the person on the line turned really nasty and started saying racist stuff! Proper shocking behaviour.Standard Life5 yearsI got a call from some bloke named Henry, pretending to represent a firm trying to forcefully take over National Grid. Once he started throwing insults around, I just ended the call.HenryNational Grid5 yearsSome woman called saying she was representing Standard Life Shareholders about some shares I never got. Her accent was really odd, so I ended up hanging up. Feels like it was some kind of scam to me.Standard Life5 yearsI've been getting calls from someone who keeps saying her name's Mary, and it's been going on for weeks. Feels like it might be some kind of scam to me.Mary5 yearsGot a call from a lady who asked for me by my full name. She said she wanted to talk about BlackRock shares I supposedly have. I think I might have invested in a BlackRock unit trust at some point, but I’m not sure. Isn’t BlackRock more of an investment firm rather than an actual share trade? Seemed a bit iffy to me.BlackRock5 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she knew about some shares I supposedly have. I said I don’t deal with cold calls and she just put the phone down!5 yearsGot a call from 0016312017034, a guy wanting to talk to my husband about some shares he supposedly owns. He actually mentioned the names of the shares, which I thought was a bit odd to say to me. I ended the call straight away. We’re based near Norwich.Norwich5 yearsGot a call from a bloke on 0016312017034 saying he needed to talk to my husband about some shares he supposedly owns. He even told me the names of the shares, which I reckon he shouldn’t have shared with me. I just hung up.5 yearsSomeone called and left the name Mary on my voicemail but didn’t actually say anything. This has happened about half a dozen times over the last few weeks. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, but either way, it’s definitely annoying to get these random calls.Mary5 yearsYears ago I remember hearing about some shares in Dana Petroleum that were sold, and the numbers 0016312017034 and 0016182042252 somehow came up in that story. Quite a blast from the past, really.Dana Petroleum5 yearsGot a call from this number, spouting the same nonsense about stocks. Asked them to send me the info in writing and they just dropped the call on me.5 yearsGot a call from someone called Mary Swan at Gildon International Group, talking about a joint holding and offering to buy for about £7 to £14. She emailed me an NDA to sign, but it feels dodgy. I’m going to block the number and trash the email just in case it’s a scam.Mary SwanGildon International Group5 yearsReceived a call supposedly from Gildon International about purchasing Dana Petroleum shares we sold ages back after Dana got taken over by the Korean government. They wanted us to sign some NDA first, but from what I’ve heard, it usually leads to asking for $4,000. They use a few different numbers, but this one’s definitely dodgy. Total scam alert.Gildon InternationalDana PetroleumDanaNDA5 yearsAs soon as I picked up the phone, the person on the other end just ended the call straight away.Submit Your Own Report ((631) 201-7034)
