0017778861665 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 0017778861665 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number linked to fraudulent calls about supposedly valuable shares in companies, often involving hostile takeover stories and requests for personal details or upfront payments like insurance bonds. Callers frequently pressure recipients to sign non-disclosure agreements or provide email addresses, sometimes exhibiting aggressive or evasive behaviour. The calls often reference deceased relatives or sold shares to add credibility, but multiple users confirm no genuine connection. Many have blocked the number and reported it to authorities, with warnings about potential malware from attachments or hyperlinks. Telecom providers' call-blocking services have partly mitigated interruptions, yet vigilance and scepticism remain essential for recipients contacted by this number.

Had a call but no message left on my voicemail, which felt a bit dodgy. So now I just ignore unknown numbers altogether, don’t fancy getting caught by some scammer.

I got another call but luckily BT's blocking did its job again and stopped it straight away. Cheers BT!

Got two calls from this number, both times they were asking about my wife and something about BHP shares. Told them to stop calling and hung up straight away. Blocking it now - seems like a scam to me.

This number rang me earlier. I asked the caller to share their number first, wondering why he asked. Told him I have a list of suspected scam callers and wanted to check before chatting. He snapped, "What’s your problem?" I shot back, "Mate, I’m calm, it’s you who’s got the issue here." He told me to hang up, but I wouldn’t, thinking if I hang up, they profit; if they do, they don’t. He said, "Fine, I’ll keep you on the call then." I said, "No bother." So this little standoff went on. Took around ten minutes before he gave in. Seriously dodgy business this.

Got a call today asking for my dad about some Laura Ashley shares. Thing is, he passed away 6 years ago and those shares were sold way before that. Can't figure out where they're digging up this info from. I'm guessing it's down to the brokers, maybe the sharesave scheme folks who handled the sale. Honestly, this feels dodgy and they should be held accountable for it.

Someone called me asking about shares my late husband supposedly had in a company I knew of. It made me really uneasy, so I just ended the call.

Got hit with a really determined scammer today. They came up with a pretty convincing yarn about a shareholder takeover and asked for my email so they could send the details. Took me a minute, but I worked out it was dodgy and I’d never give my email to someone like that - could’ve been a virus or something nasty attached. I immediately put the number straight onto my BT Call Guardian’s blocked list. Funny thing is, I’ve seen that same unknown US number pop up as a blocked caller at least twice daily now. At least with it blocked, my phone doesn’t even ring, which is a relief.

I’ve been getting calls non-stop from this number ever since my mum handed over my details to someone from China who was enquiring about my late dad’s shares in Scottish Power. They tell a tale about some rich investor keen to buy the shares for more than they’re worth. But when I mentioned that a Spanish firm took over Scottish Power about a decade ago, they suddenly dropped the call. Seems like a total scam to me. Is there a way to report this to the police or some agency so they can look into it?

Got a call from a lady, sounded like she had an Asian accent, saying she's from some New York office about shares in Amec that I supposedly own. I kept telling her to just send me the details in writing. After going around in circles for about five minutes, she just hung up on me. Ridiculous!

Yeh I really thought it was legit, was planning to splash out on a new car and a nice watch with the cash from that hostile takeover share thing?? Guess Forrest Griffin’s got caught out once more. Haha, so typical! Mmmwah!

Got a call from this guy Forrest Griffin, said he’s from Billson Capital Partners - he’s got a strong Dutch accent. He told me I supposedly have shares worth about £60k because of some hostile takeover deal, just like others have said here before. Total scam alert! Their website I checked is super new, like barely a couple months old. Also, funny part is his “office” sounds way too quiet, and he didn’t hang up for a solid 20 minutes while I was on the phone with him. Fishy as heck!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Billson Capital Partners, saying they're working on a hostile takeover of a firm where I supposedly hold shares. Thing is, I sold those shares back in 2013, yet they insisted I'm still listed as a shareholder and that each share might now be worth around $5. They then emailed me a non-disclosure agreement to sign and send back. The email, the attachment and their site all look legit, but something feels off - I reckon it’s some kind of scam, though I’m not sure what their endgame might be.

Got a message from someone called "Emma," seemed to have an Asian accent, saying she's making a takeover offer for shares in BAE Systems. She mentioned they already have 43% owned by big institutional investors and now want to grab another 8% from private shareholders. She's been sending me some paperwork about it through email.

No clue who they were. Didn’t recognise the number at all and then they had the nerve to ring me back twice straight away! Hope it’s cost em a few quid. I’ve blocked em now, cheers to the info on here for that. Just wish the phone companies would get their act together and put a stop to this rubbish. It’s about time they did something about it, loads of people getting hassled by these calls.

Today, I received a call from someone trying to sell me shares in a business I had shares in ages ago - like 15 years back - before it went bust. They told me the shares were worth £5 each, but those shares are completely worthless now. Definitely felt like a bit of a scam.

Got another call from the same number today, but this time it was some bloke named “Mike” with a really thick accent. He was going on about shares again but didn’t bother giving any proper ID. Feels like it’s another one of those dodgy scam calls.

I got a call from someone named “Laura” with a really heavy accent. She said she’s got a client interested in buying shares from a company where I own stocks. Honestly, it feels dodgy and like it could be a scam.

I received a rather dubious call today from an individual claiming to represent Mayford Capital Partners, specifically from their Mergers & Acquisitions division. They were inquiring about shareholder information regarding a supposed hostile takeover of BAE Systems, and wanted me to divulge details about my holdings, which I do indeed possess. I informed them that my holdings had been officially verified but, in actuality, I owned thrice the amount of shares they mentioned due to a 'stock split'. They assured me that their legal department would be looking into it. A week later, I was contacted again, this time with a proposal that urged me to transfer 5% of the offer price to a bond with an insurance firm, promising it would be fully refundable once the acquisition was finalised. Sounds a bit fishy, don’t you think? I promptly told them I’d not be proceeding with any sale of my shares, as it was patently clear this was some sort of scam.

I reckon this number might not be trustworthy at all! They were keen to have a chat with a shareholder regarding the selling off of some shares. However, the kicker is that the shareholder in question has been deceased for a good 15 years, and the shares have long since been transferred to another party! When I suggested they send a letter to the actual shareholder to make their proposal, they abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

Got calls from this number two times just this week. Dunno who it could possibly be, so I’m just labelling it as unknown.

Had a rather dodgy encounter with someone claiming to be from New York, trying to acquire shares for a supposed client interested in taking over Tata Steel. I've come across others who've experienced similar nonsense, with ludicrous offers for shares of various firms, only to be asked to cough up an upfront insurance bond. Thankfully, our discussion didn’t progress to that level; we managed to persuade her that we were devoid of any shares (which, of course, we actually are).

I received a call from this number at 20:22, and to my dismay, there was nothing but silence on the line. After about fifteen seconds of awkward quiet, I decided to hang up. I have a strong feeling this is a scammer trying their luck.

Given that this was clearly an international spoofed number, what were you honestly anticipating?
