Phone number ☎️ 01612431164 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance primarily involved in housing repair and mortgage refund scams. Callers often use strong South Asian accents, claiming affiliation with housing departments or financial companies and alleging due refunds or property damage issues. They target both individuals and businesses, frequently hanging up if challenged or when incorrect information is provided. The calls are commonly silent, drop off abruptly, or become aggressive if questioned. Many report recognising these as classic phishing attempts aimed at acquiring personal or banking details. The number is linked to unsolicited, repetitive calls often from overseas call centres, causing widespread suspicion and prompting users to block it. Caution and refusal to share any personal information are strongly recommended.

1 yearI just let it ring, didn’t pick up.1 yearI got a call from a guy with a really thick Indian accent who claimed he was from the UK Housing Disrepair Department. He wanted to know if I was having problems with damp or electrical faults. When I told him I'm not renting the house, he just ended the call straight away. Pretty clear that it was some kind of scam.UKHousing Disrepair Department1 yearGot a call claiming to be from BPI about a £2900 refund. Told them it was a load of nonsense and hung up right away. Blocked the number straight after.1 yearSomebody rang me saying they were from BPI, talking about a mortgage refund of £2999. Thought it sounded dodgy to me.BPI1 yearReceived a call on my work phone, but as soon as I picked up, they just ended the call.1 yearGot a call on my home phone from a number I didn’t know, so I ignored it. I noticed the area code was from Manchester though. Later, I looked it up on your site and found out it was a scam.Manchester1 yearI got a call earlier today from a number that sounded like it was from an office abroad, considering the noticeable lag on the line. The person was talking about housing stuff, asking if we had any problems like mould or damp issues. I told them straight up that if they'd bothered to look at their files, they'd see we're with a housing association that handles all that sort of thing. Then I just said goodbye. Honestly, I only picked up because some of my family live in the area with that phone code.1 yearGot a call about a mortgage deal, saying I was due way more than what I paid for my home. Told them it sounded dodgy and they just hung up on me. Definitely a scam!1 yearGot a call that seemed like some kinda scam trying to rip me off...1 yearGot a call from someone claiming it was about a mortgage refund, but he used my old address. When he asked for my DOB to verify, I purposely gave the wrong one. After a bit more of his nonsense, I just lost it and yelled, "ARE YOU ACTUALLY BLOODY IDIOT?" and slammed the phone down. Such a scammer!1 yearTotally a rip-off... they say they're giving a refund but it's all fake.1 yearJust got a call from some Indian call centre trying to scam me for my bank info. They kept saying I owed a refund of thousands on a mortgage I supposedly paid off decades ago, like 30 or 40 years back. I told them I never had a mortgage at all. Then they asked if I’d taken out any kind of loan in that time. Nope. Then they asked if I pay any utility bills, obviously I do. After that I just told them to **** right off! Total waste of time.1 yearGot called nonstop five times in just five minutes, all some dodgy insurance scam.1 yearGot a phone call from this number saying they were from something like "Fire and Housing UK" checking if we had any damage to our place. We're a charity and rent our building from the Local Authority who handle upkeep, so the call wasn’t aggressive or anything, but I reckon it could’ve been quite worrying if someone more at risk had answered. I told them who we were, and the person did say sorry for bothering and hung up nicely. Still, it definitely seems like it could be a scam trying to get info.Housing and Fire Services UKLocal Authority1 yearGot a call from someone claiming I was owed a refund on my mortgage PPI, sounded like one of those typical scams. The guy had that classic Indian accent and immediately asked for my bank info. Definitely a dodgy refund scam!PPI1 yearWatch out, folks! These refund scams are a right pain. Honestly, people only fall for them for two reasons - they're either too greedy, thinking they’re about to bag a freebie, or they simply don’t know any better. Stay sharp!1 yearSomeone rang me, I picked up but there was total silence from their side. Seems like a scam to me. I think you're probably just doing your job, but honestly the government isn’t helping at all. Really hope they start paying attention to what folks are saying and take action soon.1 yearGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent saying he worked for some insurance firm and that I should get back about £2,000 on my mortgage. When I asked a few questions, he just hung up on me.1 yearPicked up the phone and the moment I did, they just hung up. Sounds like a total scam to me.1 yearGot a call about some sort of PPI refund, total muppets trying to scam me. I just blocked the number straight away.1 yearI’m supposed to get a refund for overpaying my mortgage. They already had my address and postcode, but now they’re asking for my bank details, saying they won’t send a cheque. Feels very dodgy to me. Could be scammers!1 yearGot a call today asking for my wife about some mortgage refund, but we don’t even have a mortgage. Total scam, watch out!1 yearHad a dodgy loft inspection, felt pretty unsafe to be honest.1 yearThey told me it was to do with getting a refund for ppi.1 yearThis bloke called me saying I was entitled to a £2500 BPI refund. I played along, acting all grateful like, telling him I’m a disabled pensioner and the cash would do me good. He was all lovely, saying I deserved it and asked for my bank info to send the money straight away. I asked if he had my address, and when he said yes, I told him to just post a cheque instead and then I hung up. I find it pretty funny messing with these scammers sometimes; they really think they’ve got someone easy to fool. Sometimes I even blow a referee’s whistle right into the phone just for a laugh! Haha.1 yearI got a call from someone who sounded like they were working in an Indian call centre. They claimed I was owed a £2,000 refund from BPI. If only that was true! I told them I wasn't convinced and just ended the call.1 yearGot a call from a call centre with a strong Indian accent, they kept asking if I was Mrs so-and-so even tho my voice clearly sounds male. I just cut the call right there.1 yearI found that if you just keep chatting with those callers from India, it kinda wastes their time and stops them from trying to scam someone else. It’s a bit of fun and also might help others.1 yearWATCH OUT SCAMMERS - THESE BOTTOM FEEDERS ARE JUST TRYING TO RIP OFF PEOPLE WHO WORK REALLY HARD FOR THEIR CASH1 yearNo one said a word when I answered. It was just dead silence.1 yearGot a call from some guy with an Indian accent who greeted me with “Good afternoon, madam” and asked if he could speak to my husband. I immediately smelt a rat and told him loudly that my husband had passed away before hanging up on him.1 yearGot a call from someone claiming it was BT offering a refund. Total scam, watch out!BT1 yearTotal rip off, just a big con, don't trust it at all!1 yearI got a call from a woman with a thick Asian accent claiming she was from BT something or other. She said I was owed a refund on my mortgage, even though I paid it off ages ago! She already knew my name and where I live, but when I asked her who my mortgage lender was, she just hung up. Definitely a scam!1 yearThese guys called saying they were from BT, but when I asked for my BT account number they couldn’t provide it. So, I just ended the call and blocked them straight away.1 yearI got a call where they wanted to speak to someone in my family, but when I told them it wasnt me and asked for their name, they just said "no you're not" and then hung up on me.1 yearOn the 30th of Jan, they rang my home phone but we weren’t there to pick up. No voicemail or anything, which was kinda annoying. Definitely a bit of a nuisance.1 yearTwice already today they've called me. I don't pick up the house phone, but I always look up the number after they hang up. This has to be a scam, and it's really starting to annoy me. How can I block these calls?1 yearSomeone called saying I was entitled to a refund of more than £2000 about some mortgage or loan. I told them I suspected it was a scam and hung up straight away.1 yearThis number rang me up saying I was due a refund on a mortgage from years ago, about £3998. The caller knew my name, address, and even my postcode. She sounded like she was from Pakistan or India and spoke English very well. Definitely didn’t trust it enough to hand over any bank info.1 yearPLEASE CHECK THE EARLIER MESSAGES BEFORE SENDING THANKS, NUMBER IS BLOCKED NOW1 yearJust like the earlier comment 40 mins back, I dont get how they expect a refund when ive never given them a penny. Feels like theyre just trying to fish for my bank info.1 yearI got a call from someone claiming to be from my mortgage company saying I had some kind of refund waiting. The lady wasn't a native English speaker, so the conversation was a bit confusing. Also, I paid off my mortgage ages ago, so it didn’t make sense at all. It felt pretty sketchy, so I just hung up.1 yearThis was total scam, seriously. Some bloke calling with a thick Pakistani accent couldn’t even pronounce my name properly. Honestly, it’s getting worse all the time. Just be careful and don’t give out any info, no matter how legit they sound. You can’t really trust anyone who rings you up these days. Stay safe out there!1 yearGot a call from this number earlier about some PPI refund help, but I ended the call right away.1 yearI got a call from an Asian guy who asked if he was speaking to *my son's male name*. I told him no and then he just ended the call. Pretty clear it was a scam.1 yearThis guy called me, sounded Asian, said I could get a refund or something, then just cut the call. Pretty suspicious.1 yearGot a call from an Asian guy with really bad English, kept asking for my personal information.1 yearGot a call from a bloke with that typical Indian accent, claiming he was from some made-up refund office. He wanted my bank details to supposedly send me a refund that doesn’t even exist. Total scam, don’t fall for it.1 yearThis was definitely a dodgy call.2 yearsI chose not to answer, and there was no voicemail left. The number was unfamiliar, so it might have been some sort of scam.2 yearsI just kept quiet on the call and could clearly hear them faking being from Vodafone and EE, defo an Indian call centre.EEVodafone2 yearsTotally a scam call. It came up as a local number and since I was waiting for a call, I picked up. A guy with a thick Indian accent eventually came on the line, claiming he was from the housing department asking if we had any repairs needed on the house. I asked him where in India he was from if he was meant to be 'local.' He didn’t respond, so I asked him what time it was where he was instead. He sounded baffled and I repeated the question. He said it was 10:17, but it was actually 1:17 here. Ended the call and blocked the number straight away.India2 yearsI got a call out of the blue from some company about fixing up my place. They sounded like they really knew their stuff, but I reckon it was a bit of a trick to get some info or cash out of people, especially those who might be living in pretty rough situations. It felt like they were trying to prey on folks who are struggling with their homes, which isn’t on at all. Be careful if you get calls like this - always double check who they are before you say anything.2 yearsGot a call on my home phone from a number I didn’t recognise, so I just let it ring out. As soon as the voicemail kicked in, they hung up. Definitely putting them on the blocked list.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a strong Indian accent, asking if I needed any repairs for leaks or something like that. I told him I suspected it was a scam, but he kept pushing. I said I was struggling to understand him because of the accent, and he said sorry for that. In the end, he hung up.2 yearsGot a call about home repairs and it definitely seemed like a total scam.HSG2 yearsI answered the call at 9 in the morning but there was nobody there, so I just figured it was some sort of scam.2 yearsI was getting a call from a guy with a pretty strong Indian accent, asking if I had any damage from storms that needed fixing. Honestly, it all sounded fishy to me. I couldn't even catch the company name he said he was from. Felt like a scam, if you ask me.2 yearsGot a dodgy call from India today - watch out and block that number!India2 yearsI keep getting calls at all sorts of times, like right after I get up in the morning, around lunchtime, and even during dinner. They always ring when people are probably distracted or busy with other stuff. It's really annoying!2 yearsCalled my landline but didn’t leave any voicemail. Classic sign of a scammer. Best to steer clear. (Dodgy folks)2 yearsGot a call from this number around 10.36 today. Didn’t pick up and there wasn’t any voicemail either. Feels a bit dodgy, like some kind of scam.2 yearsGot a call from someone speaking with an Asian accent, they just said Hello and then nothing, total silence.2 yearsJust a quick follow-up to what I mentioned last week... those dodgy calls from that fake number linked to an Indian call centre have been really annoying this week, they've tried ringing me loads of times. If you can, block the number or you'll keep getting bothered by them. Honestly, it's another one of those scams coming out of India.2 yearsGot a call from this number which turned out to be a scam about home repairs. Funny thing is, the phone was actually linked to Heathrow Airport!Heathrow Airport2 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Eric, sounded Asian, about some dodgy house repairs. Definitely felt like a scam to me.Eric2 yearsThis person called asking if there was any water damage or leak issues here. My hubby just gave them some rubbish answers and they ended up hanging up.2 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from the housing repairs crew, asking if there were any issues with my place.

He asked if there was anything needing fixed at my place. I told him no, but then he kept going, like “are you really sure?” So I just ended the call.Paul2 yearsTotally a call centre, waited ages for someone to even respond after I answered. Didn’t have the patience to stay on the line and find out what kind of scam they were cooking up.2 yearsGot another call from what looked like a UK number, but it was just some call centre in India trying to scam me. Seriously, the Indian authorities need to step in and deal with this massive scam operation already.UK2 yearsThey were inquiring about whether there had been any damage to the property. BLOCKED2 yearsThis one’s definitely dodgy. Someone ringing up about 'damage to my property' but can’t even confirm my name or where I live? That’s a total red flag. They said they got my details because I supposedly reported damage, which I haven’t, so it’s obviously a scam. Since we just had 'Storm Bert', scammers are out trying it on with people actually affected, but not me. I usually catch them out by asking for personal info like my name or address, and I always get suspicious if they just say 'Ma’am' or 'Sir' when I answer the phone. They usually get thrown off by that straight away!Housing RepairMaamSir2 yearsI got a call that sounded like it was coming from a hectic office, with a recorded voice speaking, but it was really hard to make out what was being said since the accent wasn’t very clear. The person asked me something about “damage at my property” and claimed to be ringing from some “Repair Company”. It didn’t sit right with me so I just hung up - felt a bit dodgy!Repair Company2 yearsReceived a call from this number today, and they’d called before too, asking if there was damp or mould in my home. I said no, but they kept questioning me like I was lying or something. I explained that since it's a social housing property, any issues would be sorted by them, but the caller just wouldn't drop it. Feels very dodgy to me, like some kind of scam.2 yearsGot a call from someone with a heavy Indian accent, offering to fix stuff around my house. Definitely one of those call centre prank calls.2 yearsGot a call earlier about some repairs for damp in the house… pretty clear it was a scam. Did not hesitate to BLOCK.2 yearsThis number has called me loads, but they never say a word. It's been going on for ages and you'd think BT would have blocked it by now! Why haven't they done anything?BT2 yearsWe really only answer our phone if it's someone we know, like family. These days, we don't share our landline number at all - all our friends have the same rule. The people we keep in touch with mostly have our mobile number and that's what gets used.2 yearsI've been getting more and more scam calls lately, they tend to come at all hours but mostly from early morning through to late afternoon. None of the numbers are familiar to me, so I don't bother picking up. Instead, I jot down the number and add it to my block list.2 yearsI got a call from a woman who sounded really unsure and nervous, like she had only just started doing this scam stuff, if you ask me. She said something about housing repairs, but I didn’t hang about - I just cut her off straight away. After getting loads of these kinds of calls before, her shaky and hesitant tone put me off right away and made me think it was dodgy.2 yearsDidn’t pick up since it was an unfamiliar number, felt like a total scam. Why does BT let these scammers get hold of whole batches of numbers anyway? Such a pain!BT2 yearsGot a call from a lady who sounded unsure about what she was saying. Felt like it might be dodgy, so I just ended the call.2 yearsCaller had a really strong accent and claimed to be from a building repairs company. They were asking if there was any sort of damage at my place. It's not the first time I've had calls like this, with the same question coming up. Just like before, I’ve blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI got a call from someone asking about damp problems in my home. They sounded quite polite, but it just didn’t feel right, like it could be a scam. I ended up telling them to piss off.Submit Your Own Report (0161 243 1164)
