01613542731 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01613542731 👆 is reported as a persistent PPI scam number mostly calling from an Indian call centre. Callers claim large PPI refunds, sometimes thousands of pounds, often knowing partial personal details like address and name, but always ask for sensitive info such as date of birth. They try to arrange hand-delivered cheques or require victims to buy PAYSAFE vouchers costing around £100 before releasing any money. Victims note the callers sound polite but suspicious, and the details they request or the payments required raise alarm bells. Many suspect these calls come from overseas despite local UK numbers. The scam tactics include pressure to confirm identity and promises of payments for old PPI claims, which most target say they never made or authorised.

3 years01613542731 - Got a call today from someone with an Indian accent who strangely already had my address and phone number. He asked some odd questions like whether I live alone or with family. He was polite, nothing rude, but it felt a bit off. He told me he’d be dropping off a cheque around midday about some PPI refund. I found it quite odd since that’s not how you usually get paid back. Haven’t heard back from him since, but the fact he knew my email, phone and name is really worrying. I’m definitely flagging this as suspicious!3 yearsGot a call from some guy who said he was with a company that could sort me out with a PPI refund over £9000. He just wanted my dob. I told him to ring back after 3pm because my daughter was coming round.3 yearsGot a call from some dodgy PPI scammer asking for my DOB. I ended up chatting with him for over 12 mins just to kill time and annoy him a bit. Honestly, these virtual phone numbers need to be banned, especially since he was definitely ringing from Asia, not Manchester.ManchesterAsia3 yearsJust got a call asking about a POI from 2017. They didn't want my bank details but asked for loads of other info instead. Quite odd really.3 yearsSo, I got a call from some guy called Kevin, with a strong Asian accent, claiming I could get over £900 from a PPI claim. He told me he'd be sending a cheque to my address but wanted to know which bank I use first. Didn’t give me any other details. I told him to go ahead and post the cheque - now I’m just waiting to see what comes of it...Kevin3 yearsYeah, it was meant to be a PPI payout, but what really got me suspicious was that they wanted me to pay £100 upfront for a "Paysafe Card Voucher," which I had to buy from some local stores. Today they called again, asking when I’d have my ID ready so their agent could get in touch to collect it before supposedly sending me £7,000. Would be great if it were true, wouldn’t it?3 yearsI got a call about some PPI compensation and they said I’d get a cheque soon. They mentioned someone would ring me to sort handing it over, but I just told them to send it in the post since they already had my address. Felt a bit dodgy to be honest.3 yearsThis really seems like a proper scam to me. The guy said I had a PPI claim from a 2017 case, but apparently, the government shut down all PPI claims which is why I haven’t seen any payout yet, and now they can help me get nearly £9000 back. He asked for my date of birth, which immediately made me suspicious since I can't even remember making a PPI claim. When I asked if I could phone their head office myself, he told me to call the same number. From what I know, legit companies will always give you a proper head office number if you ask. My advice: don’t hand over any info at all.3 yearsI just got a call from this number and the guy on the phone claimed I had a PPI claim. He asked for my date of birth but I didn’t give it to him. It seemed a bit fishy since I can’t remember having any PPI claim. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else gets a call from this number.3 yearsI got a call from someone asking for a £200 deposit for a PPI claim supposedly worth £4895. I told them to ring me later, then had a quick look on Google and found out it's totally a scam.3 yearsThey told me I needed to be home to accept a cheque for £90,000, but first, I had to purchase a safe card to claim some PPI tax refund. Sounded fishy to me.3 yearsJust got another call about a supposed PPI settlement, they reckoned I was owed more than £9000, total scam as far as I’m concerned.3 yearsGot a call about some PPI thing, saying a Government lawyer would turn up with a cheque for £6800. They told me to grab a paysafe card from that shop just across the street, even pointed me right to it. Then apparently the solicitor would come once the shop had shared the voucher info with them. Honestly, they must reckon we’re proper gullible or something.3 yearsI got a call from this number just now, but they rang me last week too about some PPI refund. They asked if I’d be around today and I said yes. So when they called this time, they started listing a bunch of documents I’d need to prove my identity, which was a bit suspect. Then he asked me to buy a PAYSAFE card for £100. I told him I didn’t have that kind of money, and he cheekily said I should borrow it! I told him to jog on and blocked the number. I knew straight away it was a scam but it’s funny dragging it out to waste their time. Seriously, don’t pick up if they ring you!3 yearsJust got a call from a dodgy Indian call centre. They said I should be getting £9000 for PPI or something like that. We’ve dealt with PPI claims before but only under my husband’s name. Definitely feels like a complete rip-off to me.3 yearsGot a call from some scammy Indian call centre the other day. This bloke was going on about me being due £9000 or something. The weird thing is, he used my married name, but when I had PPI, it was all under my maiden name. Proper dodgy and full of lies, those lot!3 yearsGot a call today from 0161 354 2731, said they were from Intelligent Claims about some PPI thing from 2017. Asked for my DOB, so I just gave a random one. They did seem to know my address though, so now I’m curious if I'll actually get a “cheque” sent and signed for… Let’s see what happens next.Intelligent Claims3 yearsThe numbers they call from are always a bit different each time. Pretty sure it’s one of those PPI scams.3 yearsI got a call about a PPI refund linked to an old address, saying I was due over £7000 and that I’d need to be home to get a cheque handed over in person. I said that’d be easier if they’d just post it to me, but then they asked for loads more info. When I asked why they needed so much, they got all defensive, told me to check their company and then just hung up on me.3 yearsGot a call from this number but didn’t pick up. Just looked it up and decided to block it.3 yearsGot loads of calls from 01613542731, they kept saying I sorted PPI back in 2018 and asked me to verify my info. I looked up the number and couldn’t find anything proper. Never made any PPI claims, so watch out!3 yearsJust got a call from someone saying they could help me claim back on some PPI refund. Seemed suspicious to me.3 yearsSomeone rang me about a supposed PPI refund and they sounded like they had loads of my info already. I asked who had allowed them to chase after the claim and then the line just went dead! Very suspicious if you ask me.3 yearsi got a call from 01613542731, not sure who these people are but they keep talking about some PPI claim. the number looks like a landline from manchester or somewhere nearby. really confused about this one.ManchesterSubmit Your Own Report (0161 354 2731)
