01163040639 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01163040639 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and scam operation originating from varying Leicester-based numbers linked to Localphone LTD, frequently calling multiple times daily from early morning. Callers impersonate official organisations like Microsoft, BT, or the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), often exhibiting aggressive or deceptive tactics in attempts to obtain personal or bank details. Many victims report silence or hang-ups upon answering, while a number of calls feature foreign-accented individuals using false names. Attempts to block these numbers are frequently thwarted by slight number changes. The callers are considered harassing, intrusive, and potentially fraudulent, causing significant distress, especially among the elderly. Victims are encouraged to report incidents to relevant authorities such as the ICO, Ofcom, and the police, and to use call-blocking services where possible.

Got a call from Nuscience today.

I got a call at 6:30 in the morning from someone claiming to be Microsoft, which really startled me. After that, they kept ringing every 30 minutes until midday, but each time no one spoke and they just hung up. At noon, a person finally answered and I told them off to take my number off their list because I was really tired of the constant buzzing all day. The guy apologised saying “sorry Ma’am” and then I didn’t get any more calls from that number. Though, annoyingly, I did get a couple more calls later on, but from different phone numbers.

The calls coming from 0116 304 0xxx are actually from Localphone LTD, they’re using internet technology to connect the calls to call centres abroad. Honestly, if more folks here reported them to the ICO like I did, they wouldn’t be able to carry on for long.

My dad, who’s 81, keeps getting calls from this number. They’re saying he’s got to pay to get rid of nuisance calls. Does anyone know how I can stop them from ringing his landline? It’s really annoying him.

This lot have crossed the line from just being annoying to straight up harassing me, constantly ringing every quarter of an hour, mostly in the evening when folks are settling down. I’ve blocked at least four numbers that all began with 011630406, but they keep switching the last two digits every day to dodge the blocks. I haven’t picked up any of their calls after checking here first, but honestly, I’m desperate to find a way to put an end to this company completely.

Got calls from this number twice, once just before 7 and again shortly after. Both times, I wasn't quick enough to pick up. It's proper stressful getting a ring so early, especially when I worry about my elderly folks. When I finally do get a word with whoever it is, they'll be in for a piece of my mind. Honestly, these sorts of calls should be completely stopped.

Got a call from 0116 3040639 claiming they were helping BT tackle annoying calls. When I asked if they actually were BT, she said no. So, I wasn’t very polite and told them to buzz off and never call back. Have blocked the number now.

I've been bombarded with calls from this number a staggering 18 times today! In the end, I picked up the phone, only for them to ask for my wife's former husband-a bloke who hasn’t set foot in this place for nearly two decades. I calmly told the lady on the other end, who had a strong Asian accent, to take a hike. Honestly, these individuals are utterly despicable; I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d gladly crank up the voltage to 2000 for a laugh!

I've lodged a complaint with OfCom about three different numbers that keep attempting to reach me. They're quite similar to this one, and I’m getting bombarded with calls-sometimes as many as seven in a single day. If this continues, I might just have to bring the police into the matter.

I’ve completely lost track of how often this number has rung me today - I reckon it’s a minimum of six times, and there might be even more that I didn’t catch.

I've been receiving constant calls from this lot, claiming they're the official service to help stop nuisance calls. They kept asking for my bank information so they could charge me for their 'help.' Quite suspicious if you ask me! They even provided a contact number and an email for me to reach out to them. Feels rather dodgy, doesn't it?

A few days back, I inadvertently picked up a call from these persistent folk. I made it quite clear that I didn't need their services and requested they refrain from calling again.

I received a call from an Asian sounding lady who inquired about my elderly mother by name. Upon informing her that my mother had relocated, she simply hung up without a word-such a rude and abrupt way to end a conversation!

Does anyone know how I can stop these calls from coming through?

I picked up and just said “Hi” then waited to hear if anyone would reply. After a few quiet moments, the call just ended. Normally I say “Hi scammer” which really seems to annoy them. So far, I haven’t upset any real callers though! It’s crazy to think this is how some people make their money. Surely there must be a better way to put these folks’ skills to good use? They often sound quite smart, so it feels like such a shame.

Rang me half a dozen times today. Wasn’t familiar with the number, so I let the first five calls go to voicemail. They didn’t leave a message, though. Out of sheer curiosity, I eventually picked up on the sixth attempt. There was an Asian woman on the other end asking for me directly. To be honest, I struggled to grasp what she was saying. I just told her to stop calling my phone.

Just another nuisance, really. I've gone ahead and blocked the number.

I've been inundated with calls from this number and a handful of other ones that aren’t far off-ten digits are identical. They've got my address and seem intent on fishing for more private information. My advice? Just cut the call short and add this number to your block list.

Utterly exasperating! Today alone, I've received three incessant calls, the latest at precisely 12:23, from a lady identifying herself as Lisa, claiming to represent TPS. I interrupted her before she could get through her spiel. I specifically instructed them to remove my number from their records and cease further communication. This harassment really needs to end; it's absolutely intolerable! Sadly, blocking these intrusive calls isn’t an option for us right now. We're even contemplating switching to a different phone service just to gain the ability to fend off these pesky interruptions.

I've had a right nuisance with phone calls this morning! After the second annoying call, I decided to block the number, yet lo and behold, another call came through.

I struggled to make sense of what he was saying; his accent was quite thick, and his English was all over the place. He claimed to be from a company that monitors phone activity and was querying me about receiving a lot of nuisance calls.

I received a call from a woman who had a strong Indian accent. She inquired if she could speak with Mr ******** (that's me, of course). When I asked her who was on the line, she just kept asking if I was Mr ******** yet again. I repeated my question, but she seemed stuck on hers. She declined to reveal who was calling, so I decided to hang up. A quick search on Google revealed that others have had similar experiences. I’ve now blocked this number from reaching me again.

Some bloke named Patrick, claiming to be from TPS, gave me a bell asking if I still get those Nuscience calls (whatever that means). I pretended to be interested, just to see where it was going. Apparently, they offer an upgrade!! He said from tomorrow, no more calls. But when he started prying about my visa debit card expiry, I cut him off with a firm “this is total rubbish, Patrick”. Then, as if nothing, he called back just 5 seconds later. I wasn’t having any of it this time and told him I’d report to the actual TPS. Weirdly, he never bothered to ring a third time. :)

I attempted to add the most recent number to my junk list, but BT Protect threw a spanner in the works, claiming it wasn't recognized.

They rang me twice today, claiming to be from a service tackling nuisance calls. They knew my name, my address, and even had my bank and sort code number-just two digits off, which was rather unsettling. During the second call, the chap introduced himself as Aled Jones but spoke with an Asian accent. I nearly asked him if he could carry a tune! It was the same old script about blocking nuisance calls, to which I pointed out that he had already rung me earlier. He replied, "Yes, madam, that’s precisely why I’m calling you." I shot back with, "Oh, so you're just being a nuisance, calling me twice in one day!" The line went silent abruptly after that!

I came across a message that talked about putting an end to those pesky nuisance calls, and they even brought up a survey conducted by BT regarding the issue. When I mentioned that I was still getting bothered by these calls, they hung up on me, which I found quite amusing.

I received a call today, and the moment the person addressed me as 'madam' in a foreign accent, my guard was instantly raised. They had somehow acquired my full name and home address, as well as details of others residing with me. They claimed to represent a firm of telephone preference services and suggested that an alternative to the standard service could provide me with a lifetime of free nuisance call blocking - particularly marketed towards the elderly, which felt quite eerie. I firmly told them to cease calling and hung up, but they were back almost immediately, demonstrating an alarming persistence. It's quite unsettling how much personal information they possessed. Why isn’t the Telephone Preference Service managing to block these calls, especially when they appear as UK numbers?

My widowed sister kept getting calls on her landline from someone claiming to be with TPS, saying she needed to renew her registration. They said she could just pay right then over the phone, and she almost got taken in. I've told her that any unexpected calls like that are probably dodgy and to be very careful. I assumed people already knew that, but obviously there’s plenty of folks falling for it else these scammers wouldn’t still be around.

A chap named John rang me up, asserting that he’s employed by Microsoft at their UK HQ located on Kingdom Street, London. Oddly enough, the phone number he was using has a Leicester area code. He had the audacity to inform me that my Windows account was supposedly dispatching rogue packages to their headquarters. The moment I mentioned that I was actually using an Apple device, he abruptly hung up on me!

Just got a call from 01163040639, but it’s just one of the endless calls I’ve been getting over the last couple of days. Each time it’s a different number, which I’m forced to add to my block list. It’s really messing with me and loads of others too. I have to pick up in case it’s something important, but it’s always some daft telemarketer. The TPS does absolutely nothing to help, and even though BT are trying, when I added a new number to the block list today, they told me it was already there.
