01613888951 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01613888951 👆 is reported as a persistent scam likely originating from a call centre, targeting UK residents with unsolicited calls about life insurance policy reviews. Callers often claim to represent well-known insurance companies or comparison services but fail to provide credible details, frequently using poor English and aggressive tactics when challenged. They attempt to extract personal information, sometimes using previously known names, yet hang up or become hostile if questioned. The number is linked to multiple similar calls, with no genuine messages left and often continuous busy signals when called back. Recipients are advised not to answer, avoid sharing personal data, report to authorities, and block the number to prevent nuisance and potential fraud.

Had no clue cause my phone was on mute when it rang. Luckly, I got this app on my phone that warns about possible scam calls. But when I checked my voicemail, no one said anything, just loads of background noise like a busy call centre. Then it ended with a message saying sorry I can't answer right now!!!

I need to bring this phone number to your attention as a potential scam. The first time they rang, they left no message, which was a bit odd. Then on the very same day, I got another call from them, but I missed it. When I tried to get back to them, it went straight to their voicemail! Definitely some red flags here!

Just like others have said, it was a woman with an Asian accent, speaking in very broken English, and you could hear loads of noise in the background like some call centre. She was fishing for my personal details, and kept insisting she wasn’t a scam! I hung on the call but gave her made-up info, which really annoyed her. At least I managed to waste her time, so hopefully she didn’t bother anyone else right away 😏

Totally a scam, claiming to be from life insurance. Their phone behaviour is just plain awful. No genuine company would have staff acting like that. Best to block the number so they don’t bother you again!

They said it was about life insurance. The background was super loud, like a busy call centre - even if they were legit (which I’m pretty sure they’re not), there’s no way I’d agree to get life insurance from some random cold call and hand over my personal info.

They actually got my name right and said I could get a “free review” of my life insurance, listing a few firms including the one I use, so at first I thought it was legit. But after a few questions, it was clear they had no clue about my actual policy and were just fishing for personal details. I’ve blocked this number and some other 0161 ones that have been ringing me lately.

A woman said she was from ‘AVIVa and a bunch of other firms’ about my life insurance supposedly needing renewal. I told her straight up it sounded like a scam. She got really mad! I ended the call. Then she rang again! Didn’t answer that time. Proper pushy behaviour. She asked if I was from Nigeria, so maybe that’s where they’re ringing from?

It was a man speaking with a heavy Asian accent, and I could hear loads of noise in the background, like a busy call centre. They kept asking for someone called David, but I told them there's no one here by that name, which is true. Then they wanted my name, but I didn’t want to say. I blocked the number right after.

0161 388 8951 has rung me several times. When I tried calling back from another phone, it just kept going to a busy signal. That made me think it's probably a scam, 'cause they can ring you but you can't get through to them. I've blocked this number now, but I reckon they might be using other numbers too.

Not sure who rang, but I got a call on my mobile at 1.27pm (4/5) when I was tied up, so didn’t answer. Glad I missed it, as I’ve just seen on here it’s a Life Insurance scam. I’m going to report it to the BBC so they can take action since there’s been loads of warnings on the Morning Live show and Rip off Britain about scammers trying to get your info. I can share the BBC email if anyone wants it. I’ve also reported it to my local MP in Parliament.

They claimed to be from an insurance company, saying they were based in Manchester, but I’m pretty sure that was a load of rubbish. I told them I’d moved to Spain and that UK insurance wouldn’t cover me. Turns out, apparently it can but probably won’t pay up when it matters! (I looked into it properly from trustworthy sources, not just some random caller.) Then they put me through to their manager, who just kept repeating my first name loudly while I was trying to get a word in. I just said a quick 'no thanks' and hung up, then blocked the number straight away.
