Phone number ☎️ 0017163421128 👆 is reported as a persistent and convincing scam involving unsolicited calls from foreign voices, often American or Asian accents, claiming knowledge of the recipient’s historic or unknown shareholdings. Callers impersonate financial firms or brokers, proposing premium buyouts or hostile takeovers of shares in companies like BT, Vodafone, Lloyds, or airlines. They frequently demand upfront payments or bonds for insurance indemnities, then abruptly hang up or become aggressive when questioned. Many victims note the callers already know personal details, raising concerns about data misuse. Calls sometimes target relatives of deceased shareholders. Authorities and users alike advise not to engage, decline to share personal information, verify holdings through official channels, and block the number to avoid distress or financial loss.
Reports on phone number 0017163421128
4 monthsHad pretty much the same thing happen as others here. Got a call about shares linked to my late wife, who passed away over 20 years ago. The woman on the phone kept saying 'non-disclosure agreement' over and over, probably at least six times. What really creeps me out is that she had both my phone number and address. I've already reported it to the SERS (Suspicious Email Reporting Service) via [email protected].SERS4 monthsHad a very similar run-in as others here. Got a call about some shares supposedly tied to my late wife, who passed away over 20 years ago. The woman on the phone kept going on about a 'non-disclosure agreement' - she said it at least half a dozen times. What really creeped me out was that she already had my home address and landline number. I've passed the details over to SERS (Suspicious Email Reporting Service) at [email protected].SERS5 monthsI wasn't home when this number rang on my landline. They didn't bother leaving any voicemail, which usually means trouble. I've gone ahead and blocked them now.5 monthsWasn't home when this number rang on my landline. They didn’t bother to leave a voicemail, which I always find suspicious. I’m definitely going to block it now.5 monthsGot a call from a US number I didn’t recognise, so I’m guessing it’s a scam.US11 monthsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent, she was asking for my wife by her name. When I asked what it was about, she said something to do with shares. I had a feeling it was dodgy, so I played along for a bit before telling her I thought it sounded like a scam and then ended the call.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming I held shares in their company. I didn’t really give them much info and they just ended the call.2 yearsAround 6:15 pm, this number rang on my landline. When I tried to select the option on my phone not to save it, the caller hung up right away. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.2 yearsTotally a scam trying to push some fake deal! Don’t fall for it.2 yearsHad a pretty similar experience to others here. Got calls coming from the US, telling me I owned shares I didn’t even know about. There was talk of some non-disclosure agreement and how my shares had grown massively because of a rights issue - apparently they’d multiplied by ten. Now they’re supposed to be worth anywhere between £7 to £15 each. But before any of that could go ahead, they said I needed to sign a bond with some “legitimate” UK insurance firm and put down a payment upfront. Honestly, don’t get involved with these lot, it’s a trap!UK2 yearsGot a call from someone who seemed to know stuff about an old shares investment we made, which honestly set off alarm bells because they had our names and all. They didn't try to get any bank info, which was kinda convincing, but then they sent over a non-disclosure form about the shares by email - I just deleted it straight away. After reading other people’s experiences, I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, and I’d definitely back that up.2 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent talking about some Iberdrola takeover. She suddenly asked if I thought I was being scammed and when I said yes, she just hung up. Strange.Iberdrola2 yearsReally risky call! They said they were from Barclays and tried to get info about issues with an investment I supposedly had. Ended the call right away and blocked the number!Barclays2 yearsGot a call from some scammer who just wouldn’t quit, kept ringing me back three times. On the last call, they even started insulting me! Proper annoying.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Rachel Walker, seemed like she was fishing for people who might be vulnerable, maybe using funeral notices or something similar. Then she started pushing some kind of share sale scheme. Just a heads up to everyone - if you get a call from 0017163421128, best thing to do is just hang up straight away.Rachel Walker2 yearsGot a call from someone who already knew my name and that I owned Vodafone shares. She was going on about a client of hers trying to takeover Vodafone and ready to offer more than the market price for my shares. I told her it seemed odd that she’d be ringing me up, since I’m just a small shareholder. She tried to say her client had snapped up the big investors' shares and now needed to get the smaller ones. When I asked why this takeover wasn't in the news and why the share price hadn't gone up, she just ended the call.Vodafone2 yearsToday I got a call at 2:02 pm from a female with 'International' showing on the caller ID. She said something about my investments, but I just hung up and blocked the number right away.International2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an American accent asking if our shares were available. I told her they weren't, and she just ended the call afterwards.2 yearsGot a call from a woman called Rachel - sounded American - asking if we’d been contacted about selling our BT shares. Seems dodgy, not sure how they found out we own shares. Total scam, I reckon.RachelBT2 yearsI got a call regarding shares supposedly linked to my late dad. I didn’t share any info and asked them to send everything through proper paperwork. According to the FCA, this number is connected to fraud, offering illegal financial services.Financial Conduct Authority2 yearsSomebody called me trying to get me to offload shares in Heathrow airport for a supposedly good price. Thing is, I don’t actually have any of those shares. I only told them my name, which I think the lady already had. I just let her carry on talking to figure out what the whole thing was about. No way would I sell shares like that - only through proper, official ways.Heathrow2 yearsWhen I picked up, they just hung up on me.2 yearsTotal rip-off!2 yearsGot a call from this lady called Rachel, saying she wanted to talk about buying BT shares for some client. I do own BT shares, but from the start it sounded dodgy. She had my name and address down, which was a bit creepy. I asked who her client was, but she said she couldn’t say right now. Then she threw out some figure between 6 and 12 quid per share - yeah, right. I told her, since she already had my details, to send me the offer in writing. She just said she’d make a note and then hung up. Proper sketchy.RachelBT2 yearsGot a call from someone asking for Lloyd about shares, which was pretty unsettling since they already had my wife’s name and address. When my husband asked a question about the shares, the caller just hung up. Definitely felt like a scam.RachelLloyd ' s2 yearsGot a call from someone who said stuff about investments, but it felt dodgy. They actually said my name and where I live, which freaked me out a bit. The voice didn't sound local either, so I just ended the call straight away.2 yearsThis number kept ringing me, saying they'd pay top dollar for shares. After a bit, they started asking for some kind of "bond" payment right from the start. Sounds dodgy to me, probably a scam.2 yearsGot a call from a woman named Rachel, sounded like she had an American accent. She was asking about some Lloyd shares. I told her, "Actually, I just sold those shares about ten minutes ago," then the phone cut out on her side.RachelLloyd2 yearsI got a call from a lady who had an American accent. She wanted to talk to **********, which is actually my maiden name from ages ago, like 16 years back. I told her no one here goes by that name. She just said sorry and hung up without saying who she was or what company she was with.2 yearsI couldn't even answer the phone because the person ended the call right away.3 yearsTotally sounded like a scam to me. He claimed it was about shares in National Grid but then let slip he was actually calling from New York. Suspicious, if you ask me.New York3 yearsA woman spoke with an American accent and jumped straight into a sales spiel. I just ended the call right away.3 yearsI got a few calls from someone named "Rachel Walker" with a US accent talking about my shares. Thing is, I’ve never owned any shares at all. I ended the call pretty quickly. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.Rachel Walker3 yearsGot a call from a guy with a strong Asian accent claiming he wanted to buy shares I supposedly own in Virgin Money plc, and offered me a higher than usual price. He asked me for personal info to move the deal forward. Problem is, I don’t have any shares in that company and never did. When I asked him several times to send the info through the post instead, he just ended up hanging up. Pretty clear it was a scam.Virgin Money plc3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Santander, saying they wanted to discuss some shares I supposedly had with Alliance and Leicester. I spotted the scam straight away and told him to send me something in writing. After that, he just went quiet and ended the call. Total scam!SantanderAllianceLeicester3 yearsI got a call from Frank Dale and Catherine Davis over at SilverEdge consultants, they said they’d pay extra for my Northern Rock/Virgin Money shares. But then they asked for a £4000 bond upfront before anything else. Sounds dodgy to me, watch out for these scams!Catherine DavisFrank DaleSilverEdge ConsultantsNorthern RockVirgin Money3 yearsGot a call from this number about some shares and their value, the lady on the phone had an Asian accent. I told her I wasn’t going to talk about anything over the phone and asked her to send any details in writing so I could look it over properly. Smells a bit dodgy to me, might be a scam?3 yearsGot a call from a Rachel Walker claiming she worked for Krost Global Capital Partners and was interested in buying my BT shares. I decided to check with BT’s share department to confirm and they told me I don’t actually own any shares. Really makes me wonder where they got their info from in the first place.Rachel WalkerKrost Global Capital PartnersBT3 yearsI got a call from Kathryn Davies and Jade Miller, claiming to be from Silveredge Consulting. They told me they were planning a hostile takeover of Iberdrola SA and wanted to purchase my shares at a higher price. Their pitch was that I needed to put down around 10 to 15% of the supposed value into some kind of “indemnity account” to lock in the deal. Obviously, it was all a trick to get me to hand over money before disappearing with it. Just a heads up - don’t fall for this kind of scam!Kathryn DaviesJade MillerSilveredge ConsultingIberdrola SA3 yearsGot a call about buying gas shares at a really overpriced rate. Seems a bit fishy to me. Usually, BT sends letters, they hardly ever ring you up. Just a heads up, watch out for scams like this!BT3 yearsGot a call from some guy claiming to be from New York, said he worked for a big multinational firm. He wanted to buy my National Grid shares, offered me around £17.25 each. Also mentioned he’d email me a non-disclosure agreement. Told me any other shares I had wouldn’t be worth anything, which sounded a bit dodgy to me.National GridNew York3 yearsGot a dodgy call about some "exclusive chance" to buy shares in EDF. My missus just went on and on, trying to put the poor bloke to sleep!EDF3 yearsI got a call from a bloke with a really thick Asian accent, asking about some shares I supposedly own on British Airways' register. Honestly, I couldn’t catch a word he was saying, so he just gave up and hung up. Quite the odd call!British Airways3 yearsKept ringing loads but they never said anything on the answerphone. After seeing what others wrote here, I just blocked the number.3 yearsI got a call about some Lloyds bank shares supposedly owned by my mum who’s passed away. There was a really annoying noise blaring in the background so I jokingly asked if they were calling from a boiler room or something. The person on the line kept going on and actually threatened to take legal action because I said they sounded like scammers. I just told them I’d be waiting for the court papers then!Lloyds3 yearsI got a call about some shares that belonged to my dad who has passed away. The pitch sounded really convincing. Thankfully, this website helped me to verify my doubts were right.3 yearshad this woman named jennifer ring me up about some lloyds shares. couldn’t make out what she was saying cause there was loads of noise in the background. told her I’d end the call. then she called again and started saying i was racist just because she’s a black lady. how’s anyone supposed to tell that over the phone anyway? it’s mad.JenniferLloyds3 yearsThis number rang my folks, and my mum was the one who answered. They were trying to sell her Vodafone shares at what they said was a special discount because she’s a small shareholder. Mum thought it sounded dodgy and just ended the call. Seconds later, it rang again and when I picked up, the person on the line called me a racist for cutting them off. If this was legit, that's not very good manners, is it?!Vodafone4 yearsGot a call from this number around 4.15pm today but didn’t pick up since it was unfamiliar. No voicemail or message came through either. Feels like it might be one of those dodgy scam calls. Not interested at all!4 yearsThis number rang me on three days in a row. I didn’t pick up the first two times but got curious and answered on 15th December. The woman on the other end didn’t say her name, but she was asking if I was thinking about selling my shares in IAG, which I do own. Felt a bit dodgy to me, so I just said no and ended the call. Haven’t had any calls from them after that.IAG4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Iderdrola asking for my shareholding info. Definitely looks like a scam, so I’d avoid giving any details.Iderdrola4 yearsHad a call from someone claiming to be from Scottish Power about a takeover offer for Iberdrola. Said some mystery buyer was ready to pay loads of money. Sounded fishy to me, as I’m sure they’d soon be asking for my bank info to transfer the cash. Definitely a scam, best be careful!Scottish Power4 yearsGot a call from someone wanting to talk about my shares with the Aliance. Told them I didn't have any and then ended the call. They kept calling back but I didn’t pick up after that and eventually blocked the number. Definitely a scam trying to catch people out.Alliance4 yearsGot a call from 0017163421128, some woman named Rachael Walker claiming I owned shares in some company I’ve never even heard about. I told her "no way" and she just cut the call straight away. I’ve blocked that number since then.Rachael Walker4 yearsGot a call from some woman with an accent talking about BT shares my dad supposedly owned. My dad died years ago and he never had any shares like that. When I refused to give her info, she went off on me saying "you crazy." Proper rude and pushy.

She mentioned something about BT shares, which was a bit odd.BT4 yearsI had a call from someone asking about ITV holdings, sounded like some old scam but they mentioned a new address or something. It felt really dodgy and I wasn’t sure what they wanted.ITV Holdings4 yearsYesterday, I got a call from a guy on a new number about buying my ITV shares. When he rang again later, I told my daughter not to pick up, but she did anyway. After that, he called back three times. Just now, he phoned from this number once more and asked for me. I said I wasn’t available, and he insisted he talked to me the day before. I denied it, then he started accusing me of lying. I lost it and told him to get lost before hanging up. I've blocked the number now.ITV4 yearsThey told me it was regarding some shares or investments or something like that. I wasn’t really interested and just hung up after a bit. Sounded like one of those telemarketers trying to sell stuff.4 yearsMy sister-in-law got a call from a woman wanting to talk to her husband. They mentioned something about him being owed money from shares in Centruca. When my sister-in-law said he’d died, the caller then chatted to a bloke and hung up shortly after.Centruca4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Scottish Power, trying to scam me. Be careful, folks, seems like a common trick. They try to make it sound legit, but it’s a total con. Watch out for these calls!Scottish Power4 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be from Chartwell Advisors and said they were planning a hostile takeover of IAG airlines. I asked her to name any other airlines under IAG apart from BA and she didn’t know at all. That’s when I realised it was a scam.ChartwellIAGBritish Airways4 yearsSo, I got a call from someone claiming to be in New York talking about ITV plc shares and some aggressive takeover thing.
