01165022016 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01165022016 👆 is reported as a persistent housing repair scam targeting alleged council or housing association tenants. Callers, often with foreign accents, ask about property disrepairs, mould, or debts, despite many recipients being private homeowners or non-tenants. They frequently hang up, remain silent, or provide evasive answers when questioned, and may become abusive if challenged. The number has been flagged repeatedly for nuisance calls, silent hang-ups, and spoofing tactics. Blocking is common but often ineffective due to the use of multiple or spoofed numbers. Users are advised not to answer, avoid engaging, and report the calls to official fraud authorities for investigation. Overall, this number is associated with fraudulent activity rather than legitimate housing services.

Numerous individuals have pointed out that the person orchestrating this deceit is a known fraudster named Stuart Wright, residing at 133 Anglian Way, Coventry, CV3 1QR. I took the initiative to confront him on his doorstep, only to be met with a barrage of verbal abuse. One can only hope that justice catches up with this rogue and he receives a well-deserved lesson!

Its pretty unfair that people livin in council houses and gettin benefits seem to get more cash and help from the government than me, when I have a mortgage and work full time. Now ive got this number ringin me sayin if I got issues with my house theres some grant the govt will sort repairs for - PLEASE CHECK WHO YOU RING AND YOUR INFO AND TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST NOW!

Not sure, they kept cutting off the call but from what I gather it’s best to just block the number. Sounds like one of those standard scam call centres from India.

Absolutely dodgy! They purport to represent the Council or a Housing Association, but I suspect it's all a ruse.

This week I noticed missed calls from this number, but only managed to pick up today as I was at work before. A man with an Indian accent asked for me by first name, and when I questioned who he was, he said something like Housing Repairs. I asked him to say it again and then he just hung up. I tried calling back a few times out of boredom, but the call ended before anyone answered. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

I received a call from someone insisting they had conducted an inspection of my property exterior and identified some needed repairs. I couldn't help but chuckle, as the chap was convinced I resided in a house, when in fact, I'm in a flat! He was eager to arrange another assessment. Just a heads up, folks-steer clear, it's a dodgy scam!

Someone called claiming to be from the council asking about repairs needed at my place. I told them it’s my own house, not council property, then they stopped talking so I just ended the call. Lately, I've gotten loads of calls and when I looked up the numbers, most seemed to be annoying spam.

They rang me about a council property I dont even own, talking about issues like mould and damage. They said they work with some government programme and wanted details to help with claims and compensation. I told them a few days ago to stop contacting me and to take my number off their list since I never gave permission to be called - that's a GDPR violation surely. Yet, they just rang again, seems like they have no clue what GDPR means.

They phoned me around 6:30 pm and asked for someone who wasn’t me. After I pointed out they’d got the wrong number, the caller said, “No worries, we’re ringing about repairs needed at your property.” I asked for proof of which property and they immediately switched to talking about mould. I said there’s no problem here, then they claimed to be from a “Debt Collection” agency. When I asked which one, they mumbled something like “the government one.” I just got fed up, told them I don’t owe the PM anything, and ended the call.

Got a call from 01165022016 claiming to be a housing repair service. I told them I'm a private tenant and any repairs get sorted immediately. Then she mentioned something about being linked to a debt management scheme, so it's clearly a dodgy company trying to scam.

I received a call from someone claiming to represent a company dealing with property repairs. I informed them quite firmly that I can manage my own domestic issues and expressed my discomfort in conversing with people who aren’t based in the UK, as my past experiences suggest many of those calls are dodgy. The caller, however, seemed offended and implied that my scepticism was unwarranted simply because they were born abroad. I explained that this is based on my personal encounters, where I often find that I’m talking to someone overseas who’s intent on spinning a web of deceit. In fact, the police have warned me that these callers can hijack landlines from various locations around the globe, making them appear local. After I firmly rejected their nonsense, they had the audacity to ring back and insult me - quite the character, aren’t they? Clearly, that’s not the mark of a legitimate representative!

Received a call from someone purporting to represent a housing association, supposedly reaching out regarding pending repairs. They insisted I had made multiple complaints, which is utterly ludicrous as I've predominantly been a private tenant or a homeowner. I decided to have a bit of fun and claimed I resided on a boat. The chap had the audacity to call me derogatory names before abruptly ending the conversation. Definitely a scam!

I received a rather dubious call claiming to be from a firm dealing with housing repairs and issues like mould and general disrepair. They questioned me about whether I was dealing with any mould problems, which was rather baffling. Curious, I inquired how they had procured my number, considering it’s a fresh one and I’ve only shared it with work, family, or a few mates. They insisted I’d submitted a request for housing repairs, which I firmly denied, asserting that was nonsense. I then swiftly ended the conversation. I've since blocked them, and I do hope they take the hint and cease their unsolicited calls.

They just rang again even though I ignored their call before. I asked a bunch of times who they were but they wouldn’t say, instead they kept asking if I was a tenant, renter, council or private looking to report cracks or repairs.

I've had quite enough of the Housing Disrepair Team ringing me repeatedly from a mobile! It's beyond frustrating, and I'm baffled as to how they even obtained my number in the first place.

Just had three calls like this in a row, and honestly, the best way to deal with these scam calls is to report ‘em. It might take a little time, but it’s no harder than searching the number online and sharing info on platforms like this. If everyone who receives these dodgy calls did their part and maybe even brought it up with their MP, we might actually see some change. Would love to see what kind of reply that gets!

I answered the call but there was nobody there, which was pretty frustrating.
