01603 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01603 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam and nuisance calls, predominantly linked to unsolicited attempts to sell life insurance, claim false refunds or cashback, and impersonate reputable companies like Microsoft, Amazon, or banks. Callers often use automated messages, foreign accents, or bogus names, frequently hanging up abruptly or leaving no voicemail. Many numbers starting with this area code are associated with cold calls involving aggressive sales tactics, identity verification attempts, or vague queries about personal circumstances. Recipients are strongly advised against answering unknown calls, sharing personal details, or returning calls as scammers may spoof legitimate numbers. Blocking these calls is widely recommended, and complaints to relevant authorities and service providers are encouraged to mitigate ongoing harassment.
Reports on phone number 01603
1 yearBe careful, the 01603 number is definitely a scam. They need to put an end to it asap.1 yearI got a text from a landline, 01603 804484, asking "Can I call you later?" I didn't know the number or what it was about so I called back. When I rang, the dial tone sounded foreign, not like the usual UK ones. So I reckon whoever texted me is probably some kind of scammer from overseas.UK1 yearAt around 7.30 this morning, I got a call from 01603 434700. When I picked up, a man started speaking in some foreign language, then switched to English and claimed he was from Microsoft. I made it clear he’s not welcome to call again!Microsoft1 yearFor the past couple of days I've been getting loads of calls. I only pick up numbers I recognize 'cause they're supposed to be the only ones ringing me. But after looking up a few, turns out they're scam calls, so I'm just blocking them all like the others before.2 years01603 from Norwich rang me, but I just didn’t pick up. I always have my number showing and rarely take random calls since they’re usually scams or trying to sell something. It’s a shame because there was a time when being polite to unknown callers was normal, but these days you have to be quite blunt. That’s just how things are now.Norwich2 yearsJust got a call from 01603 531097. Didn’t pick up but decided to ring back out of curiosity. The woman on the line tried to chat about my Life Cover, but was pretty vague. When I asked her to explain again, she hung up quick like she realised I wasn’t buying it. Watch out, this number is definitely dodgy!2 yearsGot a call from some bloke trying to sell me life insurance. He said he was following up on a policy that, guess what, I don’t even have! Tried pushing me hard to buy one. Honestly, watch out for these calls - they can be really aggressive.2 yearsJust had a ring from 01603 740849, and it was some automated voice saying it was from bank security. Apparently they wanted to tell me my bank account was going to be debited £199 by Amazon. They told me to press 1 if I wanted to stop it. Didn’t trust it at all and hung up straight away! No doubt this was a scam.Amazon2 yearsI hardly pick up the landline anymore because it's just full of these annoying scam calls. The number starting with 1603 #### has rung me a couple of times recently. If it’s something important, they can just leave a voicemail.2 yearsGot a call from 01603417487 about 8.40 this evening, but it went straight to my voicemail and there was no message left. Feels a bit dodgy, could it be a scam?2 yearsGot a call from some guy with a clearly Asian name, he said he was from O2 and wanted to know how MAM was doing. Didn’t bother him, told him to buzz off and ended the call right away. Number was 01603 423964.EdwardMAM2 yearsSome guy with an Indian accent called me, saying I was owed a refund of 7.5 million euros. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.2 yearsTotal scam call! This bloke with an Indian accent said he knew my name and where I lived, and kept asking for more details. I told him to stop and asked how he got my info, but he just went quiet and then hung up. Best to just ignore calls like this, honestly.2 yearsI keep getting calls from different numbers starting with 01603 385***. The exact digits change almost every day, but sometimes the same one will buzz twice or even thrice in one day. I told them to take me off their list... sure, like that’s gonna happen! They say they’re from Homeserve or something, but I’ve never really talked to them beyond that. Proper annoying, honestly.Homeserve2 yearsThey called me but I couldn’t pick up, it went straight to my voicemail and then they just ended the call.2 yearsSCAM ALERT - Just hang up, don't even bother talking.FRAUDHANG2 yearsAttempted to ring the number back and it just said it's not working anymore. Definitely sounds like a dodgy scam number.2 yearsI got calls from 01603 385290 and 01603 385274. When I picked up, there was a weird delay of around 3 or 4 seconds before anyone spoke, which felt off. A bloke with an accent that sounded Indian or Pakistani told me I was owed cashback on my electric bill. They seemed to think they knew my name and where I lived, but I didn’t confirm any details or correct them. I just told them nicely to never ring me again. As I ended the call, he asked what the issue was, but I just ignored him. Seriously, don’t ever give out any info to these random cold callers - that’s exactly what they want.2 yearsGot a call from 01603 385274 but didn’t pick it up as the number wasn’t saved and seemed a bit dodgy.2 yearsGot a call from 01603 385160 in Norwich, some bloke with what sounded like an Indian or Pakistani accent saying they were from debt consolidation. Didn't bother listening, just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Norwich2 yearsSomeone rang asking for me by name, and when I told them I’d changed it, they just ended the call straight away. I tried ringing back but ended up on their voicemail. I left a message telling them how cheeky it was to be so abrupt. I’ve blocked the number since then.2 yearsGot a call from 01603385126 today. A woman with a foreign accent said she was calling from Lifestyle UK and asked if she could speak to me, even saying my full name. I wasn’t sure about it so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Lifestyle UK2 yearsGot a call from a number with no ID showing, and your info says it matches a bank scam we’ve heard about before.

Decided to look it up here first, seems like it could be from somewhere in the Sprowston bit of Norwich, maybe a warehouse over at the Sweetbriar Industrial Estate, cause the number’s kinda close to Gasway’s.SprowstonNorwichSweetBriar Industrial EstateGasway2 years01603 723176. Got an automated message as soon as I answered. Total SCAM. Claimed they were from ‘The Bank’ but never said which one, mentioning there were 3l2 pending withdrawals (£20 from Amazon and £3000 for something else).

Total scam, really dodgy.6 yearsGot a scammer pretending to call from a mobile number, but feels like the police and Action Fraud couldn't care less. Hardly ever get through to Action Fraud, only a phone number listed. It's useless especially since loads of older people living alone don't have internet. Neither the cops nor Action Fraud seem bothered at all about STOPPING crime before it happens. Waited over an hour on the Action Fraud line before the call dropped. Ridiculous. Police told me to contact my phone provider. Tried calling BT for over three hours last time and they just hung up on me.Action FraudBT6 yearsGot a call from a number I don’t recognise.

You could hear it was a call centre from the background noise and people talking.7 years01603 rang us twice today on our Chipping Campden landline.
