01162960415 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01162960415 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting businesses and individuals, often claiming association with directory services like 118 or discount utilities. Callers frequently ask for business owners or decision-makers, using aggressive and misleading tactics. Many victims report silent calls, hang-ups upon answering, or calls from call centres with strong accents, commonly linked to overseas locations. The number is associated with harassment, refusal to provide verifiable details, and attempts to extract personal or business information. Blocking offers limited relief due to frequent number changes and spoofing. Victims are advised to register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), report all calls to Action Fraud, and contact their MP to push for technological measures to prevent such scam calls. Vigilance and reporting are crucial to mitigate harm.

I was searching the internet to get a conservatory quote, and then this number called asking if I wanted more details or something like that, I guess.

Not got a clue who keeps ringing or what for, all these calls (unless already blocked) just pick up but no one talks...
Hang up and then block the number.
Absolutely bloody annoying.

Got a call from 0116 296 0415 today, total scam alert. They claimed to be from 118 or something, just more Indians trying to scam your info like always. Another number straight to the block list. Honestly, BT ought to be penalised for letting these numbers get out overseas!!!

I got a call on the office line from someone saying they were from 118. They wanted to talk to the business owner, but I let them know they’d need to contact another branch and even offered to give them the number. They refused and just ended the call. Curious, I called the number back, and a voicemail said it was a firm called Discount Utilities. All our numbers for the branch, including direct lines, have been registered with the TPS for ages.

I never picked up when they called, and they didn’t bother leaving a message either. After seeing what others have said about the number, I decided to just block it straight away!

When they asked for the owner of the business, I could tell they were from one of those noisy call centres right away, so I didn’t bother giving any info. I told them we’re listed on the TPS, so they shouldn’t be ringing us. The moment I said that, they just hung up straight away!

If you get calls like this, make sure you report them straight to the ICO. Also, sign up for the TPS - after a month, they’re not allowed to ring you anymore. Keep logging every call you get, it might take time but it really helps in the end.

I just didn't pick up. If it was really something urgent, they’d surely leave a voicemail. So, straight to BLOCKED.

This number keeps ringing me up, saying it's 118 Online Survey or something like that. They've called me about 10 times wanting to speak to the business owner. I've told them loads of times I'm not interested and to stop calling. Honestly, it's such a bloody pain!

Got a call earlier from someone claiming to be with 118 online, asking if I ran the business at this number. I told her there’s no business here and called her out for being a cheeky scammer. She ended the call sharpish before I could say more.

I used Call Guardian which seemed to scare them off since they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail. I’ve blocked the number now, but I’m sure they’ve got loads of other fake numbers they use.

I've seen a couple of posts on here about how to put an end to all these scam calls. It’s not exactly easy and requires some commitment, but I’ve started reporting every scam call and text I get to the police’s database. Problem is, it’s gonna take loads of people doing the same before any real action happens. Loads of folks report these calls daily on this site though. I even heard back from my MP, which was a bit of a surprise, but sadly, it's gonna need more than just one person asking before we see any changes.

Some bloke called "Patrick" was on the line asking to talk to the business owner. He said he could cut down our phone bills by changing the Open Reach tariff. I told him our phones aren’t even through Open Reach, and then he got all angry and started shouting at me. Proper rude and harrasing behaviour, honestly.

I’m not trusting this caller at all. When I requested her number to ring her later, she just said she’d call back on her own time. Then, when I asked where she was based, she suddenly ended the call. She wanted to talk to the person in charge of the business.

They said they were just updating my business info for 118 directory services, but the address they had was old by about two years. I’d already sorted it out with the real 118 team a few months ago - they ring annually, but it’s definitely not some big call centre with an Indian accent or anything. I didn’t stick around to chat, and I didn’t share any more info with them.

Got a call from a lady at some call centre, kept asking if she could talk to the person in charge of the company's money stuff. She said she was doing a "quick survey" about our online profiles. When I asked where she was from, she kept saying she was with 118. Felt dodgy to me, probably trying to scam us or just fishing for info to spam us later.
