01612286197 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01612286197 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and scam caller, often claiming to handle PPI refunds with substantial payouts. Callers frequently demand upfront payments via MoneyGram to release supposed cheques, which never materialise. Many victims note rude, aggressive behaviour when challenged, including swearing and hanging up. The callers often provide false lender names and insist on courier deliveries requiring personal ID. Numerous reports indicate these calls target vulnerable individuals, including pensioners. Attempts to verify these claims usually reveal no legitimate association with banks or the Ombudsman. Callers may use foreign accents or appear linked to overseas call centres, and numbers are often unrecognised when returned. It is strongly advised to ignore such calls, avoid sharing personal or financial details, and report any suspicious activity to relevant fraud authorities.

10 yearsGot a really cheeky call about PPI, told the bloke straight to buzz off. Then, no joke, he rings back half a minute later telling me to f*** right off. Lovely manners, eh? These muppets seriously need to be shut down. And why do they use daft English names? This one called himself Harry, but I bet his real name’s something like Hardeep. It’s ridiculous. Mine’s ex-directory but somehow they still get through. Proper annoying!HarryHardeep10 yearsGot a call from this number today, told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call. They tried ringing me back again, so I said I’d get my son to have a word with them and then I just hung up. Haven’t had any more calls since.10 yearsGot a call from this number again today, proper annoying. Is there any way to stop them?10 yearsMy dad, who’s retired, has been getting calls from this number. They claim there’s a £3800 cheque for PPI but want him to send £350 in cash through MoneyGram before they can send it. I picked up the phone and told them they could just take the £380 from the cheque itself, but as soon as I said that, a man with a foreign accent just hung up.MoneyGram10 yearsdont ever give them your money gram details its a total rip off, you wont get anything back. the police fraud team already knows about this con.MoneyGram10 yearsGot a call from an asian woman about a PPI thing, she mentioned Lloyds bank but i have never been with them. I told her it smelled fishy and said "buzz off" then hung up. She must have done the same cos the call ended there. Do these lot even make any money from these calls?Lloyds Bank10 yearsHad a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying there was a cheque for £3,857 in my name linked to an HSBC loan. I told her I didn't remember taking out any loan at all. When I asked what firm she was representing, she claimed to be from the PPI Ombudsman. She said the cheque would be sent by Courier to my home, and I needed to confirm the cheque number and a reference, which she provided when the courier arrived. Since I’m hardly ever home, I asked when the cheque would be sent, and she gave me a customer service number to call with the cheque number to fix a delivery date. Honestly, I’m tempted to ring it and see what they say!HSBC10 yearsAs soon as I said the person they’d asked for doesn’t live here, they just ended the call. Then, a little while later, I got a ring from a dodgy number again.10 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman claiming I'd been accepted for some PPI stuff. When she realised I wasn't buying it, she blurted out ‘ff##k you’ and then cut me off.

This bloke, Eric Martin, kept saying I had to send £360 through MoneyGram first if I wanted the cheque. I checked with my bank and the Ombudsman, neither of them had heard anything about a cheque, but Eric was adamant he was a legit accountant sorting out my PPI refund. Sounds fishy to me.Eric MartinMoneyGramOmbudsman Service10 yearsHad some random bloke from overseas ring me up claiming he could help recover my PPI cash. I just ended the call straight away. These sorts of calls keep coming non stop, it’s really annoying.10 yearsI picked up and instantly knew it was a call centre from India. They started chatting about PPI claims. I just hung up, but they kept ringing me again and again, even shouting swear words at me over the phone. Such a nightmare!10 yearsI got a call about something to do with PPI from Legal and General, which we supposedly have. They asked if I’d be around at 3pm, and I said yes.

The number was 01612286197.Legal & General10 yearsThem: Is this James speaking? Me: What's your number? Them: Why do you want to know? Me: Well, she didn’t answer the call. Them: [***]. Then they just hung up! :)James11 yearsThere was this woman who kept ringing our home phone nonstop until my brother finally picked up. As soon as he heard what she was about, he knew it was a scam and just ended the call. But then that very same number kept blowing up our phone again and again. When I finally got the call, the woman on the line started shouting abuse at me before hanging up. It was really annoying and quite upsetting.11 yearsI received a call regarding a PPI claim, during which they insisted I pay £350 in advance to activate a potential claim of £3857. When I dared to ask a few questions, they became incredibly defensive and quite rude, even resorting to threats. Absolute scoundrels!11 yearsI was told I had almost £4,000 in PPI waiting for me. When I inquired who it was associated with, they mentioned Lloyds Bank. I was baffled, as I've never had an account there! They promised to give me a ring back in ten minutes, but surprise, surprise, that call never arrived.Lloyds BankSubmit Your Own Report (0161 228 6197)
