Phone number ☎️ 01612497805 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive scam caller, frequently contacting individuals under the guise of insurance claims or PPI compensation. Callers often use English accents and pressure recipients for personal information, including sensitive documents, while failing to leave messages or hanging up abruptly when questioned.

The calls commonly reference fictitious car accidents or financial claims, with some refusing to disclose their identity or location. The overall consensus warns against answering or providing any information, recommending immediate blocking. Users are encouraged to be vigilant as the callers appear to exploit leaked personal data, possibly originating from insurance databases, highlighting the broader issue of data security within the sector.
Reports on phone number 01612497805
5 yearsThey ring me every day, often more than once a day. It's really annoying and feels quite threatening. Definitely block straight away.5 yearsI got a call from a woman speaking with a British accent, saying she was from Fair Justice Claims and that we’d been in contact previously. I thought I’d humour her to see what was next. She claimed to be handling PPI cases and said that banks had found out they owed customers three times more compensation than initially paid. She then started asking for my personal info. When I told her I didn’t have the details handy, she told me to snap a photo of my driving licence and send it through a link she would provide. Since then, I’ve had that link sent to me no less than four times!5 yearsThis number 01612497805 keeps ringing me every other day even though I've blocked it!5 yearsReceived calls both yesterday and today from this number, but I chose not to pick up. Curiosity got the better of me, so I Googled the number, yet the identity of the caller remains a mystery to me.5 yearsThey’ve rang me loads of times from numbers that are barely different, like just one digit changed every time. I reckon it’s a scam since they never leave voicemails and keep phoning repeatedly. Best thing to do is just block them straight away. If you do pick up, don’t give out any details or say things like “yes” or “no” - they might record your voice and use it for verification or something dodgy later on.5 yearsThis number, 01615 439706, keeps buzzing me all the time. I dont pick up cos I live in Wales!!Wales5 yearsI've blocked the number ages ago but they still kept ringing me on 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th, 20th, 23rd, 27th, and 29th of April, plus the 1st and 5th of May. Anyone got any idea on how to make them stop calling for good?5 yearsThis annoying number rings me almost every other day, and it's really getting on my nerves.5 yearsI seem to get calls from this number nearly every day.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying I could still get ppi compensation. They already had loads of my details but as soon as I wouldn’t share my birth date, they just ended the call.5 yearsWhen my landline rings and I answer, it suddenly disconnects after just four seconds. Strangely, it doesn't leave a message behind. Quite peculiar, wouldn’t you agree?5 yearsOne didnt pick up but they’ve rung me three times now. Never bothered answering.5 yearsSomeone rang up trying to tell me how I could cut down on my energy bills, said it would save me some dosh on gas and electricity.5 yearsTotally dodgy call!5 yearsSince about mid February, 01612497805 has been ringing me every few days, usually about three times each time. I haven’t answered any of the calls and ended up marking it as spam before blocking the number.5 yearsI picked up but nobody spoke.5 yearsGot a call from this number but had no clue what the person was trying to say, then they just ended the call.6 yearsGot a call from some spammer. I tried calling them back but the number didn’t show up anywhere. Feels pointless if they’re not gonna leave a message when you don’t pick up. What’s the use then?6 yearsJust got a call from 0161 249 7805 but when I answered, it was just silence on the other end. Strange!7 yearsGot a few calls from 01612497805 today, like three times! Told them straight to take our number off their list. They didn’t sound too pleased, judging by the tone they used.7 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. As soon as I answered, all I heard was some background noise and a voice mentioning I’d been in an accident. Thing is, my accident happened almost two years ago. I wasn’t interested in dealing with what sounded like some insurance scam, so I just hung up. Have since blocked the number.7 yearsSome bloke with an Indian accent called me, claiming I was in a car crash. He even gave me an English name to sound legit. I told him I don’t even own a car, and he suddenly got all angry, yelling saying I was fibbing. Definitely sounded like a dodgy insurance scam to me.7 yearsGot a call from someone who said he was Fabio and claimed he was with some ‘claims investigation department’. Wouldn’t tell me his full identity and kept pushing for my personal info. Definitely didn’t sound like a local UK number. The number was 0161 249 7805.FabioUK7 yearsMy mum got a call from this number, but the moment she picked up, the line just went quiet. Still keeping an eye out to see if they'll ring again. Proper annoying!7 yearsThis number has rung me twice but never left any voicemail. I've just decided to block it now.7 yearsDon't get involved with these insurance scammers, they're not legit.7 yearsThis company keeps ringing me up every single day, even though I've blocked their number. I've told them to remove me from their calling list, but they just keep going. They claim to be some sort of independent car accident insurance thing, but honestly, it feels more like harassment than anything else. Proper annoying!7 yearsThey keep ringing me up about some accident, even though I've told them a million times my number is on the TPS list. Obviously a scam, they just won’t stop calling. Proper annoying!Telephone Preference Service7 yearsReally frustrating how wrong the details are, just a waste of time.7 yearsThe line was terrible, but you could tell it was a call centre on the other end. They called from something called ‘Cream’ investigations, asking if I recalled being in a car crash over the past couple of years. Seriously, I don't get how they keep getting hold of our numbers like that!7 yearsI got a message that said every advisor was tied up and they’d ring me back later.7 yearsGot a call from what said it was an insurance firm, said I’d been in an accident and they could sort it for me.
