01612350525 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612350525 👆 is reported as a number linked to after-sales calls from Mobile Phones Direct (AO.com), often concerning insurance or additional product offers following recent phone purchases. While many users confirm it as genuine, there are warnings about aggressive sales tactics and requests for sensitive personal or banking details, which should never be disclosed unsolicited. Some callers appear knowledgeable about recent orders, raising concerns of potential phishing attempts. Calls frequently go unanswered or involve silent callers, causing suspicion. Recipients are advised to avoid sharing personal information over the phone, instead contacting the official company number directly for verification. Overall, these calls are seen as intrusive and unwelcome sales follow-ups rather than clear scams, but caution and privacy protection are strongly recommended.

Totally a scam, dont trust it.

This number is legit. It belongs to AO.com’s mobile phone insurance team. I bought a phone off them and got a call a couple days later. At first I thought it might be a scam, but they knew the exact model and colour of the phone I ordered, plus the price I paid, even tho their website prices change sometimes. So yeah, it’s definitely a real number from AO.com.

This number is legit. It’s from AO.com, the mobile phone insurance folks. I bought a phone from them and got a call two days later. At first I thought it might be a scam but they gave me the exact model I bought along with the colour, plus confirmed the exact price I paid, which surprised me since their website prices change a lot. So yeah, this is a real number from AO.com.

I got a new phone not long ago. Some bloke rang me from this number wanting my bank sort code and account details.

I recently had an experience with a phone call about insurance for my new device, and I must say, it was quite off-putting. The caller was extremely rehearsed and far too insistent, requesting my personal information before I'd even had a chance to respond. When I told him I wasn't comfortable sharing my details over the phone, he came back with, “I wouldn’t know about your phone order unless I had those details.” I found this concerning, and I pointed out that if he had access to my email, computer, or any dodgy technology like pervasive cookies-something many of us unwittingly accept-then that would explain it. While I realise that giving him my postcode might not reveal much, the whole vibe was too pushy for my liking. My advice? If you get a ring from this number, keep your cards close to your chest, and instead, call the company directly using the number listed on their official site. It’s always safer that way!

Annoying phone calls that ring incessantly but never bother to leave a message. It's best to ignore them entirely!

Not too sure about AO mobiles, seems a bit iffy to me.

The call is definitely from Mobile Phones Direct (AO), but it's basically an upsell try. They ring you aiming to push more stuff on you. Not dangerous, just a bit annoying!

Just got a new phone and this guy acted like he knew all about it, but then he asked me for my sort code over the call, saying it was for some sort of added security. Never give out your bank details on the phone, seriously.

I didnt pick up, but after checking here I reckon its mobile phones direct. I got a new phone recently and the same number called both my old one and new one just a day after the new phone showed up.

Called by Mobile Phones Direct. They kept asking for my private info, but I told them I’m not sharing anything since I couldn’t confirm who they were. They got a bit pushy, kept bothering me, but I stood firm and refused. Seems like they were trying to push insurance or some other stuff I didn’t ask for and didn’t want.

Got a call from Mobile Phones Direct trying to push their AO Damage Protection on me. I said no, but the guy kept going. After I turned it down a second time, he finally got it and we ended the call. Seemed pretty genuine overall.

Got a call from Mobile Direct, they wanted me to verify my address and stuff. But I didn’t know the number, and I never share my personal info with unknown callers. Told them to send me an email instead.

Someone said they were from Mobile Phones Direct about a contract I recently signed up for. They started asking for my personal info. I told them no, as it sounded fishy, especially since I’ve bought loads of phones from them before. Then they just said alright and hung up!
