Reports on phone number 01612776601
11 yearsThey keep ringing non stop, but I've not picked up once.11 yearsThis number has been calling my elderly mum, who’s 84, non stop. When she tried ringing them back, she was put on hold for ages and ended up with an enormous bill on her phone before the call just dropped. The constant harassment is really distressing her and it feels like something should be done to stop it.11 yearssuch a nuisance!11 years0161 277 6601 keeps ringing my phone non stop. I never pick up, it just shows up as missed calls. Quite annoying!11 yearsI’ve been getting calls pretty much daily and it’s driving me nuts. After seeing what others have said here, I just ignore them now. Thinking of switching my mobile network if this keeps happening and it’s linked to 02.11 yearsI just stay quiet and hang up when it’s one of those voice activated calls, but it’s still pretty irritating regardless.12 yearsGets in touch daily, so I grabbed a call blocker app from Google Play - works a treat!Google Play Store12 yearsI usually don’t pick up unknown calls, sounds like it’s some dodgy bloke. Proper scary stuff, be careful everyone, could be risky.12 yearsAbsolutely scammers! They just wouldn’t stop calling or accept my NO!12 yearsThey rang me twice today, and the second time I answered, they mentioned something about 02. When I told them I’d read online it was a scam, they kept insisting it wasn’t. I told them to stop calling me and then ended the call.12 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying my mobile deal was rubbish and costing me loads. When I asked him what plan I was supposedly on, he couldn't tell me anything. Kept pushing even when I said no, proper annoying @muppets.12 yearsGot a call from some annoying cold caller out of nowhere. Didn’t ask for it and wasn’t interested at all. Such a nuisance!12 yearsThey said it was some kind of “Failsafe” situation so I figured it was urgent and called back; but then they just left me waiting and it ended up costing me.12 yearsThis is so annoying, any ideas on how to get these calls to stop?12 yearsThey kept on calling nonstop, and I ended up having to just turn my phone off to stop it.12 yearsBe careful with this one!12 yearsI’ve had nearly 20 calls from this number in the past fortnight. I only share my number with close friends and family, so it must have come from O2 somehow. This is honestly pretty dodgy, and it’s not the first time O2 have been rubbish at keeping customer details safe.12 yearsIf you use a smartphone, you should try Easy Call Blocker from Google Play. I put it on my phone and honestly, it's the best move I've made. Setting it up was a breeze - you just let calls from people saved in your contacts go through, and all other numbers, like this one, get sent straight to voicemail. If you haven’t got voicemail set up, it just cuts the call off, which is fantastic.Google Play12 yearsthe only ones that have my number are 02, so it must be them who gave it out. got a text asking what i thought about some photos??? no clue if there were pics attached, just sickened by 02.12 yearsHad to buy a new phone just to make it stop, but they’re now calling my other number! If I don’t recognise the number, I just don’t pick up, it’s easy. Yet somehow these people just keep at it and don’t seem to give up.12 yearsThey’ve called me like four times over a couple of weeks, all trying to sell me pay as you go SIM cards. I gave them my info without thinking much, but told them I wouldn’t pass the credit check. Tonight when they called again, it hit me they actually knew I wouldn’t pass but kept pushing anyway. The background was really quiet and something felt off. Won’t be falling for that again, that’s for sure.Lesson12 yearsGot calls from people saying they're from O2, I’m with O2 myself, but I’m well aware that if they’re asking for bank info over the phone, it’s dodgy!12 yearsThey keep ringing me like twice every day, it's really annoying. Does anyone know a way to block these calls?12 yearsIts a scam, they rang my son and he gave them his card number, luckily he told me straight away so I rang the bank and stopped the card. Best thing is just dont pick up unknown numbers.12 yearsI keep getting these annoying cold calls almost every week, it's so frustrating!12 yearsI’ve received several calls from this number, and it appears to be related to Sales - but the latter part of the name escapes me. Every time I pick up, they just hang up. When I attempt to return the call, I’m met with a message stating it’s Sales, but once more, I can’t decipher the second half. They seem to suggest that if I can't hold for an agent, I should ring back later. Yet if you choose to stick around, all you hear is “please hold while we endeavour to connect you.” Quite frankly, on the first call, they did mention ‘02’, which is my mobile provider, so I’m left wondering if this might be linked to their marketing efforts. I do hope that’s not the case!12 yearsReceived a call from 0161 277 6601 earlier today. Didn’t answer, the number just popped up on my phone. Totally seems like a scam. I thought the government had cracked down on cold calls by now?12 yearsGot a couple of calls after putting my car and some other stuff up on Gumtree. It’s getting way too much to deal with, think I’ll end up changing my number. Plus, it’s annoying having them call me during the day when I work nights!Gumtree12 yearsI’m proper fed up with these lot trying to blag my info. There’s gotta be some place to report this crap and get these dodgy “boiler room” scams shut for good. The bloke claimed he was from Yorkshire - sounded like it with the accent - but I reckon he’s got some Nigerian relatives hidden somewhere!Yorkshire12 yearsThese calls are getting so damn irritating now.12 yearsMy phone's been getting nonstop calls from this number lately.12 yearsMy mobile's been blowing up with calls from them non stop, definitely think they should be tracked down and put a stop to. I never pick up, and that's not changing anytime soon!12 yearsThey rang me on my mobile, which I’m really careful about - I don’t share my number with anyone sketchy or put it anywhere public. No idea how they got hold of it, really puzzles me! They kept ringing though, but as soon as I told them I wasn’t interested, I just ended the call. Then I checked my messages and found a voicemail from one of their calls I missed, and I could hear them having a right moan about me and other customers, not realising I wasn’t there. Proper cheeky!12 yearsGot a call where no one on the other end said a word, just pure annoyance.12 yearsThis number keeps ringing me on my mobile every day, even though I’ve never shared it with anyone. I don’t pick up, but it’s really annoying.12 yearsthey just dont get it, im not picking up unless its someone I kno, theres way too many dodgy calls these days.12 yearsEvery single day I get calls from these guys. I just hang up straight away whenever they ring. Proper annoying lot.12 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up loads of times, it's proper annoying. I don't want anything from them and I refuse to pick up, so I don't see why they bother calling at all!12 yearsI explained that I was currently in hospital, which was true, and the guy replied saying surely I could just spare a minute for them to find me the best deal. I told him again that I was in hospital, and then he just hung up on me straight away. Not very polite sales behaviour, and I'm guessing O2 might be breaking data protection rules here, cos how else do they know my tariff info?12 yearsThis person is a real nuisance and honestly, they ought to be slapped with a hefty fine.12 yearsGot a call from O2, they were talking about how much I’m using my phone. Didn’t ask for it though. Caller ID showed O2.12 yearsGot a call from some cold caller again, really annoying! I thought those cold calls were meant to be banned by now?? Total pest!12 yearsTotal scam, got my number straight from O2. Just got this new number and havent given it to no one!12 yearsThey ring me every day, and sometimes even twice! So annoying grrrr :(12 yearsThey keep calling me pretending to be O2, saying they’re just checking if my service is working fine. Well, yeah, it bloody is! These lot are proper scammers. I told them to prove they were O2 by checking my info, but they didn’t even know my name. Absolute muppets. Like I’m gonna give them any personal info - the only thing I admitted was I like cornflakes, haha.12 yearsThey call every single day, and the moment you pick up, they just hang up on you. What jerks!12 yearsGot a call on my mobile today 4/3/15, bloke said he was from 02 and that my SIM was pay as you go with them. I told him no, it’s not, but he insisted it was. Then he asked if I had a contract and paid via bank, I didn’t wanna say. He then said if I wasn’t pay as you go, the deal he had wouldn’t apply, so I just said obviously not and hung up. But if this was a scam, why could I still see their number on my caller ID?12 yearsI tried calling them but missed the call at first, then got this message saying “welcome to sales gem.” It was really frustrating being stuck on hold for twenty minutes with no actual person picking up, just a recorded voice telling me to wait and someone will help soon. Honestly, it's annoying and pricey too. Please let others know about this if they’re thinking of calling. Also, I haven’t shared my new number with anyone, so no idea why I’m dealing with this mess.12 yearsI've gotten calls from this number like 10 times this week and I have no idea who it actually is.12 yearsThis number keeps calling my phone nearly every day. I never shared it with anyone. It usually rings just a couple of times before hanging up. Very strange!12 yearsIs the company name really Salesgents? Just got a call from them and wasn’t sure if I heard it right. Anyone else had a ring from that? Seems a bit dodgy if you ask me.Salesgents12 yearsGot a call from this number on Saturday and again today. Missed em both. Rang back but looks like their office isn't open right now. Who even are they?12 yearsGot a couple of calls over the last two days, didnt pick up quick enough so it showed missed. If it keeps happening, should I just swap my sim or something?12 yearsI just got a fresh number from O2, brand new and never used before. Yet somehow, these clowns managed to ring me up a couple of days later, wanting to buy the phone I had before. Cheers O2, for selling my digits to those muppets!12 yearsI got a call from intelling.com, seemed like they were pushing some sales stuff.12 yearsThey keep ringing my mum non stop, it's really getting on her nerves.12 years02 yeah like you lot are gonna get anything from me ya bleedin scammers? 7229992229712 yearsGot a call from this number just now, no clue who it could be. My phone usually tells me the place the call is from, and it said Manchester, but I don’t know anyone from there. Very confusing!Manchester12 yearsThey say they’re from O2, but they’ve rung me 6 times in just one week!12 yearsThis number rang me twice within a few days. The person on the other end hung up straight away, so I tried ringing back. They put me through to some automated message, then left me on hold without picking up again. Might end up reporting it to the cops via 101.12 yearsMy phone and landline have been getting calls nonstop from this number and 01612776602 as well. Since I don’t know who it is and they never bother to leave any sort of message, I just don’t pick up at all.12 yearsOver the past few days, this number has called both my mum’s landline and my mobile about five times. Every time I pick up the phone at my mum's place, there’s complete silence on the other end.12 yearsSome bloke called claiming he was with O2, but I said my mobile isn't with them and he just ended the call straight away.12 yearsSame sort of behaviour as before and definitely looks like a scam. WATCH OUT!12 yearskept getting calls from this number like 3 times over the past 4 days, bit annoying really12 yearsGot a few calls pretending to be from o2, rang me a couple of times.12 yearsI’ve been getting tons of these calls over the past half year - I just ignore them if the number’s not familiar.12 yearsGot a call on my phone today (28-01-2015) from someone saying they were from my mobile network. They began asking all sorts about my plan, but when I told them they should already know that info, they said it wasn’t in their system because I’m on pay-as-you-go. I ended the call. Definitely sounded like a scam, watch out!12 yearsPeople pretending to be from O2 trying to scam you.12 yearsI get calls from this number all the time but I never pick up. Anyone know who it belongs to?12 yearsMy husband's phone keeps ringing from them all the time.
