Phone number ☎️ 01164782411 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls impersonating UK music licensing organisations like PPL or PRS. Callers often use fake local numbers and foreign accents, commonly South African or Indian, attempting to extract business or personal details under false pretences. They pressure recipients to pay for unnecessary music licences, sometimes aggressively or rudely, despite many businesses not requiring one. Numerous users advise not to provide any information, highlight the calls as intrusive and harassing, and recommend blocking the number immediately.

12 monthsKeeps ringing me pretending to be from PPL music licence, but it’s actually some folks from India. They just won’t stop calling.India12 monthsThey said they were calling from a music licensing company, but they were really pushy and quite rude. I didn't take their nonsense lying down and gave it right back to them. Ended up blocking the number straight away.1 yearGot a call today from what sounded like a Leicester number, but I reckon it was a dodgy foreign call centre using spoofing tricks. They were trying to get my personal info, claiming it was about some sort of licensing. Honestly, most of the time you don’t even need a licence for what they’re talking about. Best thing is just to ignore and steer clear of these calls.Leicester1 yearI keep getting calls every day about some music licence stuff. It's nonstop!1 yearGot a call earlier about some music licence stuff. I just said I wasn’t the right person to handle that, and they pretty much dropped it. After that, I blocked the number to be safe.1 yearThis scam is still going strong as of June 2025! Absolutely don't share any details with them! Even if you give them just one small fact, like your staff count or the number of phones you use, it'll just lead to them trying to piece together more info bit by bit. Before you know it, they might be able to pretend to be you later on. The best thing to do is just block the number straight away. If you're unsure how to do that, get in touch with your phone company and they'll guide you through blocking it.ABSOLUTELY DO1 yearAnother scam call, of course. If loads of people report it, maybe someone will finally take action. Even Keir might have to step in then.Keir1 yearGot a call from India and it was obviously a scam, I just laughed and told them to do better next time.India1 yearI've been getting calls about our music licence too, just like a few others here mentioned. Honestly, someone needs to step in and sort this out - the number's out there, so why not track it down properly? It's about time the officials took some action!1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be with a Music Licence company, asking for both personal and business info so they could supposedly remove me from their list. Definitely felt like a scam to me.1 yearI can't believe how impolite this person was! From what others mentioned before, they started talking about the radio licence and even threatened to record our conversation. They claimed anything I said would be held against me. Honestly, it was really upsetting!!!1 yearSeems like they’re pretending to be from Leicester, UK since PPL PRS, the folks who deal with music licences for businesses, are based there. This sounds just like the music licence scam others have mentioned before.LeicesterUKPPL PRS1 yearI keep getting calls from people with an Indian accent, probably scams, so I've just decided to block their numbers now.1 yearGot a call from 0116 478 2411 at work, but the line was dreadful - sounded like they were calling from some sort of rusty shed! They were asking to chat with a Director about a music licence, insisting they wouldn't speak to anyone else. I joked, "Does singing fall under that?" but honestly, it felt like a dodgy scam. The connection was rubbish, barely understandable. Plus, they had the cheek to say the call was being recorded! I told them ours are recorded too!1 yearGot a call out of the blue from someone talking about music licensing and it smelled fishy. Definitely one of those scammy calls trying to trick people. Be careful with stuff like that!1 yearGot a call from #### who was going on about me needing a music licence just for playing stuff at home. I told them to have a listen to a Beatles song and see if they still reckoned that was right. Bit of a laugh, but not sure what to do now!Beatles1 yearGot a call from someone saying it was about a music licence, but I reckon it was just a scam. Be careful, sounds dodgy to me.1 yearGot loads of calls about some music license thingy. Def a scam, watch out!1 yearNon stop phone calls about needing a music licence, even though we never play any tunes at work. They keep asking to talk to "the person in charge" and try to get personal info from whoever picks up. Proper annoying!1 yearOver the past couple of days, I’ve received about eight calls from this number. They claim to be from some company, asking if we’ve got a music licence. My partner answered one of the calls and started asking questions. Turns out, they said they were calling from Cape Town and insisted you have to pay for a licence just to listen to the radio at home. My partner told them straight up he reckons it’s a scam, and the woman on the other end just laughed. Can’t believe people would do this - it’s such a pathetic, dishonest way to try and make money. Total scam!Ppl LtdCape Town1 yearI got a call from an unknown number, and the person on the line was really pushy. Honestly, I couldn’t quite catch what they were trying to say.1 yearGot a call earlier today from someone saying they were PRS. Told them that we don’t actually have any music at work, but they just kept going on and on. In the end, I just ended the call and blocked the number.PRS1 yearThese guys say they work with music licensing or something like that. I told them I don't play any music in my store, but they insisted they had proof and said they'd send it over email. Still, I've not received anything from them. The person on the phone had a really strong accent, almost hard to understand. Ever since that call, they keep ringing me every single day.1 yearA woman claiming to be Keisha called and said she was with some "musics licenses prL" saying our license had expired. Bit fishy as we only sorted one out last week, so no way it’s already gone. Told her straight up she’s not with the real company, especially since she bungled the name (it’s PPL/PRS, mate). Suddenly she said “oh, can’t hear you” and then there was a rustling sound before she cut off. Definitely a scam, not knocking the actual PRS/PPL, but I’m not falling for this nonsense.KeishaPRLPPLPRS1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be from PRS about a music licence, but I told them I don’t even listen to music and then just blocked the number.PRS1 yearGot a call asking for our managing director. I told them they had the wrong number and that we don’t use music, so we wouldn’t be interested anyway. They said it wasn’t a sales pitch, just needed to record some details. When they asked for my full name and position, I flat out refused and told them not to ring again. Fed up with these dodgy calls trying to scare you about copyright stuff and push you into buying licences. Proper annoying!1 yearThey keep ringing us over and over again, even though we have no use for music. Definitely a scam.1 yearSomebody rang me saying they were from PPL and wanted me to pay up. Felt a bit fishy if you ask me.1 yearWas really quite rude on the phone, asking who owns the business and pretending to be from PPL. Feels like a scam to me. Better to just ignore calls like this!PPL1 yearMy workplace got a call from a number asking about music services, which makes no sense as we never use anything like that. The person on the line had a very strong foreign accent, which felt a bit dodgy. I told them I'd check with my manager, then quickly figured out it was just a scam. I put them on hold again to politely ask them to stop ringing us, but they got pushy trying to sell something. I just cut the call there. I’ve blocked the number now, but someone else at work will handle any future calls from them.1 yearGot a call from a guy with a South African accent saying he was from some music licensing company. Honestly, it just felt dodgy, like a scam or something.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming he’s from PRS, trying to con businesses into paying for music rights or something. Turns out he was just a fraud from South Africa looking to trick people. Watch out for this scam!South AfricaPRS2 yearsThey claimed to be calling on behalf of PRA.PRA2 yearsI've been getting these annoying calls non-stop lately. It's really starting to bug me how often my phone rings with the same annoying caller.2 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!2 yearsSome bloke phoned me up, said it was something to do with Music Licensing or that sort of thing.2 yearsThey said they were from PPL licensing, but that's totally not right!!2 yearsReceived a call from someone saying they handle music licences, but it was obvious spam.2 yearsI got a call from a woman speaking with a very noticeable foreign accent. She was just starting to say something when suddenly the line went dead. It felt a bit like harrassment, but fingers crossed she keeps getting dropped!2 yearsGot a call today from someone insisting I needed a music licence and that I should pay right then and there over the phone. The woman didn’t seem interested in what I was saying, just kept pushing for payment. I asked her to send me an email with details, but still haven’t had anything. Bit suspicious if you ask me...2 yearsThey pretended to be from PRS/PPL music licensing, but trust me, they’re just con artists! Total scam!2 yearsIts totally a scam, best thing to do is just hang up straight away and dont give them any info.3 yearsSeems like a total scam to me.3 yearsWe keep getting calls from a person named Ingel from PPL PRS asking about our music usage on site. For ages now, like two years or more, their messages come through and we've always told them we don’t play music. They just don’t seem to listen though. It’s getting a bit much, feels like harassment. After reading other folks’ experiences, I’m thinking of making a complaint. Honestly, they should just send an official letter instead of bothering by phone. With all these scams about, it’s really stressful.IngelPPL PRS3 yearsUnwelcome and relentless - constantly seeking every detail about our business.3 yearsHad a brief chat with this bloke from South Africa, tried to sort out what he was asking about but he wasn’t too happy with the answers, especially once I told him the boss wasn’t around. He kept pushing me to give my name and confirm our best contact number, which didn’t sit right since he was the one who rang first. Feels a bit dodgy, like one of those scam calls to me.South Africa3 yearsGot a call on my work phone today - definitely a scam.3 yearsGot a call from a guy who spoke with a South African accent, asking if we played music in the office. I told him we didn’t. Then he kept pushing for my full name, but I wasn’t having any of it and just ended the call.3 yearsGot a call from a guy who sounded like he was from South Africa, asking if we played music at work. I told him no, we don't. Then he kept pushing for my full name, but I wasn't having any of it and just ended the call.3 yearsSomeone rang up saying it was about music at work and insisted on talking just to the manager. I told them to send it through in writing instead. That’s how I found out the real music licence folks get in touch.3 yearsThey were calling claiming to be from a music licensing firm. Total scam, watch out!3 yearsSeems to be a music rights organisation of some kind. They enquired whether we play any tunes in the office and how frequently we do that. The person on the line mentioned they were from PRS PPL or something along those lines.3 yearsI called a charity help number, but that didn’t seem to stop the person on the other end at all.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were from a music licensing firm, something like PPL. I just said we weren’t interested and ended the call. Sounds like the same sort of scam others have mentioned.3 yearsThis lady from South Africa was really pushy and said she was from PRS PPL, telling us we need a music licence for our quiet office. She came across as quite harsh and kept going on even after I tried to end the call. I just ended up blocking the number.PRS PPL3 yearsTotal rip off!!!3 yearsHad a call from someone claiming to be with PPL, sounded like he was just reading off a script. As soon as he started saying "all our calls are recorded," I quickly ended the call. I could tell he was about to throw a bunch of questions at me. Our busy office just can’t afford to waste time on annoying calls like that.PPL3 yearsdefinitely a scam, would avoid.3 yearsSomeone rang up pretending to be from a company that licenses music, asking about how we manage tunes in our workplace. Bit sus if you ask me.3 yearsUtter waste of time, seriously useless ####3 yearsWe got a call from this number but there was no voicemail left. When I rang back, an automated voice claimed it was PRS PPL, which I’m certain it isn’t. I’ve already reported the incident. After several tries, I managed to get someone on the line - a lady with a South African accent who just said "Hello." I told her my name’s John and I’m not part of any business. I didn’t give my number, but she assured me we’d be taken off their list.John3 yearsHad a call from 0116 478 2411 saying we supposedly didn’t have a music licence for our workplace. I told them we don’t even play music here, but they kept on about needing one anyway! Ended up just blocking the number.3 yearsThey called me asking about some sort of licensing info that I actually don’t need at all. Quite a waste of time really.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from music licensing, asking if I had a licence to play the radio at work. I just told them to buzz off and put their number on block. Total scam, don’t trust them!3 yearsClaims to be associated with PPL/PRS. It could either be a legitimate company working on their behalf or just someone masquerading as them. I certainly won’t be returning the call.3 yearsGot a call from some telemarketer trying to sell music for the workplace. Told her we all work remotely and don’t have an office space. She barely got to say anything else before I ended the call; she mentioned updating their database before I hung up.3 yearsThey called to ask if music was allowed where I work, then started throwing a bunch of other questions at me, so I just ended the call.3 yearsThey keep phoning me asking all sorts about how I listen to music, which I find really annoying. Whenever I throw questions back at them, they just dodge answering. It’s quite invasive, honestly.3 yearsI received a call from a person with a thick accent insisting that I required a people’s licence to work from home. Quite the odd situation, I must say!3 yearsThis has to be a scam, because the calls come every day and they’re really pushy. It’s getting annoying so I’ve just blocked the number.3 yearsGot a call from some music rights company. They wanted to know if we use any tunes at work and kept probing for details about the business. Felt like they were fishing for info.3 yearsI encountered a rather persistent lady from the same situation as previously described. When I clarified that we operate as a virtual organisation and that her queries were irrelevant, she became insistent on extracting more details about us. I firmly requested that she cease her calls, to which she responded that she 'couldn't promise' to do so, and continued to press for additional information. It definitely gave me the impression of a potential scam.3 yearsPPL provides licenses for businesses to legally play music on their premises. It's important not to dismiss it as a fraud.PPL3 yearsI spoke with a woman today who had a South African twang, representing a firm involved in music licensing.3 yearsHad a voicemail from a chap with a South African twang, curious about how we incorporate music into our operations. It seems he might be angling to pitch something to us.Submit Your Own Report (0116 478 2411)
