01612650016 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612650016 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls targeting people with false claims of large refunds from mis-sold PPI or bank charges, demanding advance fees via money gram payments. Callers often use British-sounding names but speak with heavy foreign accents and apply high-pressure tactics to coerce victims into paying upfront commissions. Additionally, others impersonate solicitors alleging involvement in recent car accidents to extract personal details. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, calls continue unabated. The scams are aggressive and exploit vulnerable individuals, frequently ending calls abruptly when questioned. Users are advised to remain vigilant, avoid sharing personal information or making payments, and consider blocking the number or reporting it to their phone provider.

This number rang me claiming to be John Williams, saying some government program found I’d been overcharged by my bank over the last 20 years. Apparently, they had managed to recover £3900 for me, and a solicitor nearby could hand me the cheque today if I first went to the post office, grabbed a money gram form, and paid 10%, which was £390. The deal was to show the solicitor the money gram receipt, then get the cheque. I told him no way, just give me the cheque first, I’ll bank it, and once it clears I’ll pay the £390. He laughed and asked if I was joking. I told him he’s daft if he thought I was that gullible before he hung up. Looks like a scam but pretty rubbish at it.

I got a call saying I was about to receive a cheque for £3600 from a solicitor and that I’d need to pay £360 in cash when it arrived. They mentioned it was linked to a PPI claim I supposedly made. Seemed fishy to me, like a total scam.

My mum got a call from a guy named Alex, who spoke with a thick accent. The very next day, he rang again, saying he was nearby and wanted to drop by. I can’t understand how these scammers are allowed to keep tricking people who are easy targets!

I had the exact same run-in with these guys Alec and Graham Robinson, pulling the same old scam. A bloke with a strong South Asian accent told me their legal team had managed to recover £3,600 for me from wrongly sold PPI on Lloyds accounts over ten years. He gave me some reference number for a cheque and promised a call back at 10 the next morning. Right on the dot, another heavily accented chap rang me, kept getting my name wrong and spoke to me like I was some clueless kid. He confirmed the £3,600 amount and said that their legal guy, Graham Robinson, was nearby and could pop round later on. He asked me to nip to the Post Office and get a MoneyGram send form to pay their 10% fee, £360.
The whole thing smelled fishy as hell. When I firmly told Alec there was no way I was handing over their commission until my cheque cleared, he got nasty and just hung up. I tried calling back but the number just played a constant electronic buzzing sound.

Funny thing, I got a call saying I was owed £3600 due to bank fees. They used my married name but never asked for my old surname, which made me raise an eyebrow right off. Then they wanted me to pop to the post office and send them £360 to claim it. I wasn’t having any of it and told this bloke with a British name but an Indian accent to keep his supposed £3600. He just hung up on me. Honestly, good riddance!

This is definitely a scam, they’re trying to fool parents by promising a £3600 refund. The name they’re throwing around is Graham Robinson. Watch out, it’s not legit!

TOTAL SCAM. They claimed I was owed £3600 as a refund for some banking fees I was supposedly charged too much for. I played along for a few days, honestly had a laugh with it. They kept promising their best solicitor would send the cheque in a couple of hours, but only after I paid £360 at the Post Office first. Funny thing is, they never once asked for my bank info - guess scam tactics are getting lazy! Eventually they started getting rude because I wasn’t playing ball with their demands.

Got three calls, all from these Indian guys - Adam Smith, Graham Robinson and David Cooper. Played along for ages, said I’d get the moneygram form sorted. Then I said it was an international thing, and they just hung up. Next time I think I’ll ask for Joe Bloggs... or maybe his brother Fred, lol.

Got a call from this number, and it was clear they were trying to pull a scam. They claimed to be from some Claims Advisory Service, which sounds like a genuine company. I told them I’d double-check with CAS, then some bloke called "Alex" just cut the call on me. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from someone claiming to be the claims advisory service, telling me I could get a refund on some bank fees. They said there was a cheque for £3600 waiting for me, but first I had to send £360 with MoneyGram at the post office. Something felt off, so I refused. Total scam.

Today I got a call from someone claiming to be with RC Solicitors. The bloke had a really thick foreign accent, sounded like he might be from India or Pakistan. When I asked for his name, he said Robert, but seemed a bit iffy when giving his last name as De Souza - like he wasn’t quite sure how to say it properly! He told me he got my info from some Government body, called the Road Traffic Authority, which I’m pretty certain doesn’t exist. Apparently, they’d informed RC Solicitors that I’d reported a car accident to my insurance. I asked him when this accident happened and which insurance company I’d contacted, but all he could say was it was sometime in the past three years and he didn’t know the insurer’s name. I was getting fed up by then, so I just ended the call - at least I wasted a few minutes of his time!

Some bloke rang me up asking about a crash where apparently I got hurt bad after being forced off the road. What a load of bollocks, I can't drive at all since I'm legally blind! I kept him on the line for nearly an hour just chatting, then finally told him the truth. Didn’t seem to sit well with him. Pretty sure I won’t be hearing from them again.

Pass this number on to your phone company, they should be able to block it. Although it looks like a UK number, it’s actually being operated from overseas. They manage to spoof these numbers to trick you into thinking it’s safe. I reckon BT could put a stop to it if they wanted, but maybe they cash in on it somehow. Whatever you do, don’t share any personal details with them - they’re definitely scammers.

Just like the others before, I didn't want to say if the information he mentioned was right or not. To be honest, his accent was quite thick and I struggled to catch all of what he was saying. Hope it’s alright to mention that without upsetting anyone.

I got a call from some firm called Rc Solicitors, using the usual script about me supposedly being in an accident at my address within the past three years. I decided to go along without admitting anything. When I asked what the call was about, the bloke dodged the question for like ten minutes. Eventually, he handed me over to another guy who actually said I was wasting his time. Quite the cheek!

Got a call earlier today from a guy named Dominic claiming he was ringing from Highway Law Firm. He wanted to speak to me by name, but instead of confirming anything, I asked, “Who’s this?” He then started talking about how someone living here had supposedly reported an accident in the past three years and asked if that was true. I said I wasn’t willing to chat any further until I had more info about him and his firm. After that, he just hung up on me.
