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.

Loads of folks mentioned that the bloke running this con is a known fraudster named Stuart Wright, living at 133 Anglian Way, Coventry, CV3 1QR. I actually went round to his place and got nothing but insults. Fingers crossed someone puts this dodgy geezer in his place!

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.

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.

Got a call from someone saying they'd done a survey on my property's exterior and it needed fixing. I found it funny because the bloke kept insisting I lived in a house, but I actually live in a flat. He wanted to do another survey as well. Just a heads up, this sounds like a scam to me.

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.

This lady called up pretending to be from some repairs company. I told her I can handle my own home maintenance just fine and I don’t really like chatting with foreigners on the phone since most of the time it’s dodgy. She fired back saying I was judging her just because I wasn’t born here and accused me of being a scammer. I said that it’s just how I feel because most calls I get are from abroad, pretending to be local, and pretty much always trying to con me. The police even told me these scammers can mask their number to look like they’re calling from the UK. So when I called one of them out for talking rubbish, the guy had the nerve to ring me back and insult me, calling me a whore. Yeah, that’s definitely NOT your average scammer, is it!

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!
