0016467973196 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 0016467973196 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive scam caller, primarily targeting UK residents using US-based numbers. Callers claim to represent mergers and acquisitions firms seeking to buy shares in well-known companies, often referencing outdated investments or deceased relatives, causing distress. They appear to have access to personal details like names, addresses, and some outdated shareholding info, possibly from stolen or hacked shareholder lists. Scammers use various accents, frequently hang up if questioned, and pressure recipients with promises of inflated prices or urgent non-disclosure agreements. Calls often come at odd hours with no messages left, and many users report blocking the number. The widespread consensus marks this as a fraudulent operation preying on vulnerabilities and outdated financial records.

Got a call from a New York number, but the bloke had a weird mix of Asian and American accent. He kept going on about wanting to buy my Birmingham City shares - totally baffling! The whole chat was long and kinda believable, offered me some ridiculous amount for shares that don't actually mean much. When he asked for my email, I just told him no and ended the call then and there.

I got a call from a woman wanting to talk to my daughter by name, but my daughter hasn’t lived here in over four decades. When I told her that, she just ended the call straight away. It’s shocking how many awful people out there target innocent folks these days. The worst bit is they seem to have access to real personal info like share details to try and trick you. Honestly, I hope those scammers get what’s coming to them!

For the past five days running, this number won’t stop ringing my landline. We barely ever pick it up anymore since all we get are either telemarketers or scam calls. Never once have they left a voicemail. It’s been added to my blocked numbers now.

Got a call from a woman asking for my partner by name, saying she was Jess, so I reported it to our call protect. I have a family member with that name, and because the number looked familiar, I took the call without realising it was from the US. When ‘Jess’ started talking about my partner’s shares in a company, my partner quickly ended the chat - smart move. The number is definitely blocked now.

Got a call about some shares in IAG that I sold ages ago. They had my name and my home address, but then said they’d send info by text or email. I didn’t want to give out my phone number or email, so I just hung up. Seems dodgy, probably a scam to me.

Got a call from +16467973196 on our home phone around 4:05pm this Monday, 6th July. We ignored it and didn’t even answer. Reading through the other comments, I’m gonna block this number and tag it as unsafe for sure!

Got a call from this number around 7pm on the 1st of July, 2026. Didn’t pick up since it was an unknown number - probably one of those scam calls. No voicemail was left either. Then they rang back a few minutes later, at about 7.03pm, same thing - no answer. It’s really annoying how these persistent unwanted calls just won’t stop! Blocked and removed the number straight away.

I got a call about Cadbury shares, said they were from the firm buying them out. When I mentioned the shares were already sold, they just hung up on me. After checking other reviews, it seems like they’re just scammers using a new trick to con people.

SCAM - Got a call the other day askin for my husband who’s been gone for over 12 years, freaked me out a bit. Luckily, the other reviews helped me realise it was dodgy. It’s terrible that these firms keep doin this and there’s nothing we can do about it! The call came from a US number like others have said. I just told them no one by that name lives here and didn’t share anything else. I’ve blocked the number now. Hopefully, this warning helps others when they check this number. Cheers!

BEWARE OF THIS! Got a call tonight from this number asking for my daughter, who moved out ages ago. A woman named Lara Fernandes said she was from WCC Group, Mergers & Acquisitions. According to her, WCC was acting as an intermediary, updating Prudential shareholders about some shady business, like insider trading. When I told her I wouldn't give out my daughter's info, she offered to send the info to me instead, so I could forward it on and my daughter could reach her at the number given. Just to be clear, my daughter has no Prudential shares or policies at all.

Got a call about some IAG shares from someone who passed away two decades ago. The caller kept pushing to talk about the shares, but I put a stop to it as soon as I told them to mind their own business. This wasn’t the first time they’d called - pretty sure I got this same call a few years back.

Got loads of calls from some dodgy lot claiming I should still be getting money from Centrica shares I sold ages ago. They wouldn't really answer any of my questions and just kept ringing me like 2 or 3 times every day over several days. In the end, I had to block the number. Proper scam, no doubt.

This number's called me before about Centrica shares, and the caller mentioned they were based in New York. Last time, as soon as my answerphone picked up, they just hung up. I’m really curious how these scammers get info about actual shareholders. Feels like Centrica might be letting something slip, possibly breaking data protection laws?

Got a dodgy call from the States claiming they want to buy my penny stocks at an outrageous price as part of some fake hostile takeover. Total rubbish, obviously. Their trick is to dangle a crazy offer of like £100,000 for your shares, but then they demand a £3000 'insurance bond' upfront so they’ll supposedly process the payment. Sounds clever, but it’s just a scam. They probably only got my details - name, address, phone number - from some hacked shareholder list floating around the dark web. Honestly, best thing to do is just hang up and don’t bother engaging with them at all!

Got a call from someone called Lucy, said she was from New York. Her English was really off, and she kept calling me Mrs followed by my first name, which felt odd. She mentioned something about me being on a list for Centrica shares and started going on about hostile takeovers and mergers. I kept asking her to repeat herself because I could barely understand, and she didn’t seem impressed by that. Surely a scam, especially since I sold all my Centrica shares years ago!

On the 17th of March, 2026, I got two calls from this number just five minutes apart. Since I didn’t recognise it, I chose not to answer. They didn’t leave a voicemail or anything. After seeing some bad reviews about this number, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it.

Got a call on the Isle of Wight on Friday the 13th around 6:25pm. A woman with an accent that sounded eastern asked if I was NAME living at ADDRESS connected to some Banco Santander Shares. She had my name and address right, but something felt off. I didn’t say yes to anything. Instead, I replied, “I don’t know who you are, I’m hanging up now,” and ended the call.

Got a call from someone wanting me to sell shares in a company I don’t even have shares in anymore. They already knew my full name and address, which was a bit worrying. When I asked where they were calling from and what firm they worked for, they said New York, claiming to be from S & S Consulting. They said it was about a client wanting to buy shares for taking over a hostel. I was told I’d need to sign a non-disclosure agreement too. The whole thing felt really dodgy. Then, just as I mentioned New York again, they hung up on me! Definitely steer clear of this one!!

Like other people have said, this one smells like a scam. They called about buying shares for some hostile takeover thing, promising up to 50% above market price.

The person on the phone seemed to know about an old investment I once made, but it was really outdated and not important anymore. They acted like I was still a shareholder and wanted to chat about a takeover bid. What freaked me out was that they had my phone and address, so it looks like some company records might’ve been leaked. I didn’t give any more details and told them to send me a letter instead. I’ve also blocked the number and now I’m just hanging around for the letter to arrive.

I got a call from someone saying they were with a 'mergers and acquisitions company', talking about shares I supposedly owned in some firm. She insisted on speaking with me before sending any docs about the company's situation. I told her I’d verify everything on the internet first, but she claimed all the info was super confidential. Also, she mentioned she was calling from Europe and couldn’t give me a number to ring her back. Felt like a total scam to me.

Got a call out of the blue about my husband needing to sell some Santander shares he supposedly owns - which he definitely doesn’t. The caller seemed to know his name and mentioned our past with the Leicester account that turned into Santander. Bit unsettling really, or maybe just a lucky guess? She didn’t mind chatting to me instead of him, even though I’m not the one she's after. Pretty sure it was a scam, so I ended the call fairly quickly, but I bet they’d have pushed for bank info if I’d stayed on. We’ve heard stories like this before.

Definitely feels like a scam to me.
