01612178400 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612178400 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance cold caller, often claiming to represent HM Revenue & Customs, insurance firms like More Than, or tech discounts, typically using scripted calls with no message left. Many recipients find the calls repetitive and intrusive, frequently received daily around similar times, sometimes even while abroad. Callers rarely provide clear information or listen when asked to stop, leading to frustration, especially among vulnerable individuals. Some calls have been linked to legitimate companies following up on insurance quotes, but most appear to be aggressive telemarketing or potential scams. Users recommend not answering or engaging, registering with the Telephone Preference Service, and exercising caution to avoid sharing personal details or responding to prompts during these calls.

We’ve been continually getting calls from this number and would like them to stop at once! It’s becoming quite an annoyance, to say the least!

Oh blimey! What a headache! We're on tenterhooks waiting for news about a job we chucked our hats in the ring for, and it's got the same area code, which only adds to our anxiety. They've left us a message that was completely empty, so we're desperately trying to get in touch with them. And it turns out it's this daft company! I'm absolutely itching to have a word with them - they're in for a proper telling-off! Cheers for all the info, mates!

For the last three days, we've received calls from this number and haven't managed to answer them in time. We're currently in Australia, so it's quite tricky for us to respond! Has anyone else actually managed to take a call from them? Just out of curiosity, who are these callers? And how on earth did they get hold of our number?

We've just had our initial call from 01612 178400 at half past four this afternoon. We’ve been inundated with persistent calls from 02031034000 and 02071501599 too. It's got to the point where we've completely stopped answering our phone, considering the ridiculous number of spam calls we receive. We simply allow them to ring endlessly, then hit 1471 to check the number, and if it’s unfamiliar, we don’t bother calling them back!

The individual on the phone stated he was reaching out for More Than Insurance. Interestingly, this call lined up perfectly with a letter we had received from them not long ago. We definitely haven’t shared any of our details and made it clear that we would get in touch with them when we're ready for a quote-just to ensure we’re being cautious!

Recently, we received a few calls that we didn’t manage to pick up-simply weren’t available at the moment. So, I decided to investigate the number and stumbled upon this site! Quite relieved we didn’t return the call. Oddly enough, both our home phone and mobile number have been on the Telephone Preference Service list for more than a year now. So, I’m baffled as to why we’re still getting calls from them!

Received a handful of calls from this number, which we suspect belongs to More Than insurance, as previously noted. Recently, we did some online research regarding car insurance and reached out to More Than to get a quote. However, the price they offered was quite excessive, so we opted not to proceed. We eventually found a more reasonable policy elsewhere. We kindly request that these callers cease their attempts, as it's not only frustrating but also a dreadful waste of our time.

I reached out to their so-called "customer service" line - what a laugh! I had to navigate through an automated system that was supposed to remove my info from their directory. I'm quite curious to see if they will actually pay attention to my request.

I received three calls from this number, but not a single message was ever left. When I tried returning the call, it just rang engaged. There was one instance where it did connect to voicemail, but all I got was silence. Quite odd, I must say!

They ring me every day apart from weekends. They don’t ever leave a message on the answerphone, so I reckon they’re just trying to sell something.

I've received three missed calls from this number in the past fortnight. I've been rather tied up and haven't had the chance to respond. Rest assured, if this number pops up again, we won't be returning the call. Cheers to everyone for the helpful tips shared here!

We've had two calls each day at my elderly mother's home, and she's disabled, which makes answering the phone quite a struggle. It really adds to her stress and causes unnecessary hassle for her. The whole situation has been quite chaotic, to say the least.

Blimey! What a right hassle this is! We’ve been on tenterhooks waiting for a response from that job we applied for, which has the same area code. Honestly, I’m in a bit of a flap trying to reach them since they left us with a completely blank voicemail. Turns out it’s just this daft company! I can hardly wait to speak with them; I’ve got a proper telling-off lined up! Cheers for all the info, everyone!

Daily, we receive calls on my mobile from this number, along with another 0800 one from the same company. If we ever do pick up and someone is actually on the line, I swear I'm going to blast an air horn right into their ear!

My phone keeps ringing around the same time each day, usually about half four in the afternoon. The answering machine kicks in, but it seems that these callers never leave a message. It's beginning to get quite frustrating!

I received a call from someone reading off a script, asking, "Who takes care of the electricity needs for your company?" To be honest, my phone is for personal use only, and we don’t operate any kind of business. Do these callers genuinely think we’d divulge such details over the phone? Utterly ridiculous!

This number incessantly calls me each day between half-past twelve and four in the afternoon. I've stopped picking up their calls altogether; it's just not worth the hassle anymore!
