Phone number ☎️ 01162779299 👆 is reported as a highly persistent nuisance involving numerous scam calls primarily centred on false car accident claims, intended to extract personal information or money. Callers often employ automated or scripted voices, ignoring denials of incidents and sometimes hanging up abruptly. Many report silent calls, frequent unanswered calls, or aggressive and rude behaviour, frequently from overseas call centres. Some calls falsely claim legal or tax issues to alarm recipients. Attempts to block these numbers are often thwarted by repeated calls or number variations. The consensus advises avoiding engagement with these numbers, reporting to relevant authorities, and blocking where possible to prevent further harassment.

My phone showed the caller was from Enniskillen, Northern Ireland.EnniskillenNorthern Ireland7 yearsGot a missed call from 0116 036 9163, didn’t have a clue who it was so looked it up and seems like it’s a scam.7 yearsSounds like an accident scam. They asked if I’d been in a crash, I nicely said no and told them to take me off their list, but she just kept going like I hadn’t answered. I asked again nicely and then she just had the nerve to hang up on me!7 yearsGot a call about some accident that never even took place - total waste of my time and just pure annoying!7 yearsGot one of those typical ‘accident’ calls, but this time from a number that sounded like it was based in the UK. When I told them I hadn’t been in any accident, they actually said ‘please hold’ - cheeky! No clue what would’ve happened if I didn’t hang up!7 yearsSounds like one of those car crash scams. She kept asking if I’d been in an accident, and I kept asking her when it supposedly happened. We went back and forth a bit, then she just ended the call.7 years0116 009 6336 Sounds like a crash scam. Got a call from an automated voice that sounded pretty real at first but then just dropped the line. They ring loads of people telling them about a recent car accident they supposedly had. Eventually, they catch someone who actually did have a crash. My guess is they try to con you out of cash afterwards.7 yearsGot a call from this number just now, like others have said - looks like one of those car crash scams. They just said hello, then a woman kept talking but I didn’t reply and the call just dropped.7 yearsPearl Solutions automated woman - total accident scam!Pearl Solutions7 years0116 007 3979 Just ignore it!

I said I hadn’t been in one, but she just kept going on and on, like she wasnt listening. I even asked if her headset was faulty ‘cos she wasn’t taking in what I was saying. Then they just cut me off. Would really steer clear of this number.Steer7 yearsClassic crash scam. Some woman’s robotic voice keeps grilling me for info. Just tell ’em to f-u-c-k - o-f-f.8 yearsPearl Solutions are a pain, they operate out of Maidenhead but use call handlers from abroad. You’ll probably get some dropped calls before they ring, usually from the number 0116 390 6387. Best thing to do is report them to ico.org.uk so they can be shut down.Pearl SolutionsMaidenhead8 yearsGot a call from 01163421221, a lady saying she was from Pearl Star something or other. When I asked her to repeat the company name, she kept cutting me off talking about my accident. I got a bit cheeky and said it shouldn't be that difficult to just answer my question, then out of nowhere she just hung up on me?? Definitely sounds like an accident scam, watch out!Pearl Star Solutions8 yearsSo frustrating!8 yearsLooks like one of those annoying scam calls pretending to be about a car crash.8 yearsGot three calls in less than ten minutes from a lady claiming I’d been in a crash??

The next thing I knew, he'd just cut the call!9 yearsGot calls loads of times the week starting 8th Jan 2018 - ended up blocking the number coz they just stayed quiet on the line. Might be connected to 0116 278 4478 who started ringing me this week, 15th Jan 2018.9 yearsThis number keeps ringing me multiple times daily. When I pick up, there’s just silence on the other end. I’ve decided to block it now, especially after seeing other people say it’s suspicious.9 yearsWhy do they keep ringing me and then just hanging up?

Quite perplexing, really!Terrace9 yearsThat Leicester number, 01162779299, is a real pain. It keeps ringing loads and they never say who they are. I just ignore it now and don’t bother picking up.Leicester9 yearsGot a call this morning, they said my name right away. I asked who it was, but no answer, just them saying my name over and over. I asked again who's calling and they just kept repeating "too old" multiple times before hanging up. Already blocked the number. Tried calling back this afternoon but since it's blocked, all I got was a missed call notification.9 yearsSo today, my partner picked up and some unpleasant bloke with a strong Asian accent shouted, "Haha, you pick up the phone, you bloody idiot!" then just slammed the line down.

He was asking for a name I didn’t recognise at all, so I just told him "no one by that name here, goodbye" and ended the call. Used 1471 to check the number afterwards.9 yearsCalls with no one on the other end.9 yearsThis call comes from an auto dialler that rings loads of numbers every second. If someone answers, it quickly connects you to a real person on the phone (that’s why you get a few seconds delay). When no one is free to take the call, you just hear silence. I like to label these calls as “Cold Call 57” or whatever number I’m up to, so I can easily spot them next time they ring and block them straight away. - John FurnessJohn Furness9 yearsGot another call where no one said a word.9 yearsno answer, just silence on the other end.9 yearsThey claimed they were looking into harassment calls, and when I replied “Yep, from you lot,” they just cut me off.9 yearsNo sound on the line.9 yearsGot loads of calls from this number, but when I pick up it just hangs up or they’re looking for someone who isn’t here.9 yearsGot two missed calls but they didn’t leave any message.9 yearsGot a call from some call centre in India asking loads of questions for a consumer survey.
