01612209164 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612209164 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller linked to various alleged companies, including UK Choice, Legal & General, and insurance providers. Many report frequent daily calls with no one speaking or immediate hang-ups. Callers often seek personal details or try to confirm outdated information, sometimes displaying aggressive or evasive behaviour when questioned. Attempts to block the number or request removal from lists seem ineffective, with calls continuing despite these actions. The pattern involves silent calls, automated detection of answer machines, and occasional rude responses. Users advise against answering or engaging, highlighting frustration, suspicion of scams, and the impact on vulnerable individuals. Blocking the number and reporting it to relevant authorities is recommended to reduce harassment.

I've reached out to them repeatedly, urging them to remove me from their calling list and cease their incessant phone calls. Strangely enough, they keep switching phone numbers, making it impossible for me to block them. They present themselves as UK Choice.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from UK Choice. When I informed them I was occupied in a meeting, they were quite apologetic and hung up. However, they decided to ring me back about five hours later. I didn’t answer, so they promptly tried again, but I chose to ignore it once more. - Caller: UK Choice

Hi there! I keep receiving numerous unsolicited calls on my mobile, and it's quite maddening, especially since my partner and I are in our 80s. It's really becoming a nuisance, to say the least. Cheers, John.

Could you kindly knock off the incessant calls? I'm not certain who you are, but it’s becoming rather bothersome.

Got a call from this number at about 2.17pm today. When I answered, there was total silence, so figured it was just one of those cold call centres and ended the call. No idea who they wanted.

They ring me a bunch of times every day, but there’s never anyone on the other end. So frustrating! I even tried blowing a whistle into the phone once and they kept calling back! What’s the point of it all?

Bloody hell, these Bar Stewards keep ringing me, why do they even bother? I've let 10 calls go straight to voicemail and a couple I picked up, but it's just dead silence. What's the point, honestly?

This number has called me about 10 times over the past few days. When I answer, there’s just silence and they never leave a voicemail. After reading some other reviews, I’m guessing it’s just a pest call. Since my partner works shifts and usually naps during the day, I’ve decided to block the number.

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent saying he was from L&G life insurance, saying there were updates to my policy with better payouts. They used an old address from about 5 years ago and had wrong details about my coverage. When I asked why they were working with outdated info and refused to give my new address, saying I'd contact L&G myself, he just hung up on me!

I was inundated with 13 calls yesterday and by noon today, I’ve had another 6! I've taken the step to block numerous numbers and even asked them to remove my details from their database. Yet, whenever I do pick up, they just stay silent before hanging up. It’s so irritating!

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent asking if I lived at a certain place. I said no but didn’t mention it was my old address. Then she asked if I was renting, privately or owned the house. I told her to mind her own business and she hung up. Definitely gonna block this number.

Got three calls from this number before quarter past 12! Makes it 11 calls since the 27th. Just got back from shopping and decided to let my answerphone pick up, and they hung up straight away. Hope they’re picking up the bill coz I’m letting the answerphone handle it from now on! Don’t pick up if this number rings - it’s mostly silent and I don’t know anyone from Manchester anyway.

Got 5 calls today and 4 the day before. Only spoke once, they asked if I had life insurance! I just said NO every time they asked for me by name, and if I had insurance. The voice had an Indian accent that time. After that, just dead silence when I picked up. If you notice this number, best to ignore it! Surely there must be a law to stop the same number ringing non-stop and then staying quiet.

This number kept ringing me 6 times within just a few hours. I didnt pick up and went ahead to block it, but somehow they still managed to call twice more an hour later. Best to just ignore it.

Got a call from this Asian bloke, he asked for me by first name but butcherd my last name. Said he was with Legal and General, so I asked him to say who exactly he was working for, and he just went quiet and hung up. I keep getting loads of these calls every week, all trying to push stuff like life insurance, utility deals, funeral cover, or insurance for household gadgets.

Some bloke rang asking for my old name I stopped using ages ago, like 10 years back. I told him he was barking mad and he just goes alright then and hangs up. The number said Manchester but the guy had this weird Apu from The Simpsons kind of voice.

A bloke from UK Choice called me, said he had 3 questions that I just had to answer yes or no. First, he mentioned an old address and asked if it was correct. I said no. Then he asked for my current postcode, I refused. He tried again asking for it and I still said no before I ended the call. So yeah, that was the three questions he promised.
