01613960531 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01613960531 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and scam call number associated with fake claims about pensions, debt relief, accident compensation, and prize winnings. Callers often use poor English, claim links to official organisations like the DWP or Citizens Advice, and employ high-pressure or rude tactics. Many report multiple daily calls, silent calls, hang-ups, and number spoofing, making blocking ineffective as they frequently use different numbers. Victims experience harassment and attempts to extract personal or financial information, with some warning of identity theft or pension scams. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage or provide any details, instead blocking the calls, reporting to authorities, and utilising call-blocking apps. This number is widely regarded as fraudulent and should be approached with caution.

I picked up the phone and a woman said I was eligible for some payout about a car crash I supposedly had. She wanted the crash date and the registration numbers for both cars. She said me and my mate in the car could get some money.

They rang again today, same as usual, loads of times a day. Sometimes they leave a message saying they're from 'Vital Nature' and just popped to the post office to send out a prize of £50,000. Would be nice if it was true, but there’s no info on what to do next or how to claim it. I’m definitely planning to report this number to the cops.

This number has rung me around 30 times over the last couple of weeks. Just today, six calls all during half an hour! I always ignore it. I’m tempted to put my phone on silent, but I don’t see why I should have to miss calls I actually want to take. There’s gotta be some way to make these calls stop. I’ve also got around five other annoying numbers constantly bothering me. Blocking one number doesn’t help since they just switch to another. With so many auto diallers out there, it feels like there’s no way to block them all.

This number called me the other day but the first two digits were missing. Today they phoned again, so I tried calling back but it never even rang. Then a foreign woman answered straightaway and was talking so fast I couldn't get a word. I kept calling and at one point a foreign man answered, also annoyed I was calling him back. Definitely a cold caller, but I have a laugh with it. I'm pretty sure they won't be bothering me for long!

They ring me loads of times every day. When I block one number, they just ring me from another really similar number, only a few digits change. They keep pestering me about pensions. I asked them to take me off their list, but the lady on the phone was proper rude. Now I just hang up straight away whenever they call.

I got calls from someone saying they were with the Consumer Credit Advice Bureau out of Manchester, but the strange thing is the calls actually came from the Philippines. Feels like a scam to me, trying to get folks' bank info for sketchy reasons. I doubt they genuinely assist with clearing debts and think they could just land people in more mess instead...

Terrible connection and downright awful phone manner from these idiots who said they were from the DWP. Let me be clear, The Pension Service or DWP never call out of the blue. They always send a letter first to let you know when a phone review is due. Best just to ignore these scam artists.

Got a missed call from this number, picked up and could hear office sounds but then the call just ended. About 10 seconds later, another call came from 08701245862, I answered and there was office noise too, with someone shouting something like "pick up your f##king phone, idiot".

Got a missed call from this number. They rang a few days ago but the number was missing a couple of digits like 016139605. They were talking about clearing unsecured debt which I don’t have at all. Told them before they had the wrong details and to stop calling. They clearly didn’t listen. Definite phishing scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.

This number kept ringing me loads of times but whenever I picked up, all I got was dead silence. I ended up blocking it, but then they started calling from other numbers instead. So my plan is just to keep blocking every new one. It really winds me up, and the phone companies don’t do much when you ask them to take your details off their lists. Honestly, the government needs to step in properly. If these firms keep breaking the rules and bombarding people, they shouldn’t just get fined, they should be locked up and forced to cough up massive compensation till they go bust. Enough is enough! 😡😡

Dont trust a word these folks say. First, they claimed to be from the Department for Work and Pensions, then suddenly switched to something called Department of Budget and Work Analysis. They cant keep their stories straight. If your phone offers free calls, ring them back and mess with them by asking questions they have no clue about - they quickly say the line's rubbish and they cant hear you!

I got a call from Manchester on my personal mobile, which I never gave out to anyone. They had no business ringing me up. The call was about a debt I settled ages ago. This happened twice already, and I told them to remove my number from their records. Hopefully, they’ve done it now. Could you please ensure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again? The number that called me was 01613960531.

0161 396 0531 from Manchester (sometimes shows as private) - best just to ignore. Ive had calls from them loads of times, usually a couple a day, its really annoying and stressful. When you pick up, there’s silence for a bit, then an Asian lady starts talking about pensions. When I asked where they got my number, they said some database. If you ask them to take you off their list, they just warn you there'll be more calls and then cut off!

They claimed to be ringing from the Citizens Advice Bureau, so I asked them to say again where exactly they were calling from and they said "the credit department".

Got a call from someone claiming to be Heather Graham at HMRC, said I needed to ring back urgently and left a number. Obviously, I didn’t bother calling them. It was one of those robotic voicemail things anyway. If HMRC genuinely needed to get in touch, they’d send a letter. Total scam number!

This number rang me a couple times earlier so when I finally picked up today, a woman with an Asian accent said she was calling from some consumer group. Before she could say much, I asked where she got my number. She said it was from my phone company and that I’d supposedly agreed to share it. After that, I just hung up.

I got a call and stayed quiet until the person spoke first. They greeted me with “good afternoon, how can we assist you?” I told them they’d rung me. Then they said my name and asked if it was right. Apparently, someone else from their team had called before and this was a follow-up about a pension review. I cut her off and said I wasn’t interested and wanted my details removed from their system. She kept pushing to carry on with the review, but I repeated myself firmly. Eventually she said “Okay, I’ll do that. Goodbye.” How on earth did they get hold of my name and number? I’ve added them straight to my blocked list now.

A woman with a Asian accent rang me on my phone and asked if she could speak to my wife. When I told her she’s not at this number, she then asked if I was Mr. Thinking it was a dodgy call I said yes. Next, she asked if I wanted to write off 75% of debt I might owe, to which I said I don’t have any. Then she pressed, asking if I had any loans - I said no again. After that, she asked about my pension, private or company one, and I said both. She asked me what size pension pot I had, so I said £5 million. That was the end of the call - she just hung up.

I asked them to remove me from their list, and she replied, "I can call you if I want to." Well, I guess I'll just have to report them to Ofcom then.

This number popped up weirdly as +1 613-960-531. A typical Manchester number always appears as 0161 on my phone, so I just ended the call. They did get my name correct, but the strange number format made me think something was off. Also, when I answered and said hello, there was an awkward pause before they replied, which didn’t sit right with me.

Got a call from a woman who said her name was "Rose," sounded Asian, and claimed she could cut 75% off my debt - which I don't even have. I gave her my usual two word reply (I think you know what I mean). That number's now on my ever expanding block list.

This number has been persistently ringing, yet there's never anyone on the other end when I pick up. I've decided to add it to my list of blocked contacts.

It’s so frustrating how these calls never stop, every time I block one, another scammer pops up with a new number.

Got a call from someone saying they were from the "Dept of Budget and Finance Analysis." They started asking about private pensions, but the woman wouldn’t say the name of her firm. She hung up, saying they’d take me off their list.

I get at least one call like this every single day. It’s proper harassment and I’m fed up with it. I keep telling them to take me off their calling list but it never seems to make a difference.

This number has been ringing me quite a few times, and honestly, it's really annoying. I get about three calls every day, so I've decided to block it using my Truecaller app. Hopefully, that stops the constant hassle.

Got a call from an unknown number, no idea who it was. Added straight to my blocklist. Feels like harassment honestly.

I was told it was about a pension review and ended up giving them my details, including my address. Felt pretty silly afterwards, especially since the call came while I was busy working. The woman on the phone seemed really dodgy, and deep down I knew I shouldn't have trusted her.

Got a call claiming to be from some Consumer Credit Advice group, telling me I could get 75% off my credit card debt ‘cause I’m making regular payments. Sounds great, right? So I asked where they got my details from and that’s when they started dodging the question. Then I mentioned I was at work and asked what exactly they wanted - suddenly they got all awkward and rushed off the call. No idea what records they’re gonna ‘update’ when they’ve got no proper info. I’ve blocked the number now. If you get a call from this one, I’d avoid it too. Total SCAM.

It’s so frustrating, they’re always calling either first thing or right around midday. I keep telling them I’ve never had any accidents, but they just don’t seem to care or hear me.

Totally a scam, best to just ignore the call.

Annoying call again.

Someone claimed to be from some consumer info office in Manchester, but I couldn't find any trace of it online. When I asked for their website or email, they said they'd need to check with a manager first. It really annoyed me that I had no way to verify who I was actually speaking to. The whole time, their whole pitch was about "helping" me sort out a credit card debt - which I don’t even have! They keep ringing from different Manchester numbers and I’ve just been blocking every single one.

They rang me up, and when I told them I was just 18, they cut the call straight away... so funny!

Got a call from a woman speaking with a Nigerian accent, said she was from the Pensions Review Board. Claimed they were doing a review on behalf of the FCA. Pretty obvious it’s a scam, total rubbish if you ask me.

Got a call from some woman saying she was from the 'Pensions board' trying to get info about my pension. When I asked her for her full name and what company she was with, she suddenly sounded all nervous. These sorts of scams seem to be everywhere now, all pretending to help but really just trying to steal from older folks. Honestly, just don’t entertain them and hang up straight away!

So this bloke with an Asian accent rang me saying he was from citizen advice, right? I told him they don’t just phone people out of the blue and asked his name, but he just ended the call straight away! What a dodgy move.

This number 0161 396 0531 has called me about six times now! I’ve repeatedly asked them to remove me from their calling list but they just keep ringing. Really getting on my nerves.

Usually, this number calls around after dinner, and most of the time, the caller just goes silent. Sometimes they mention some accident I supposedly had in my car. Thing is, this is actually my wife's phone and she doesn't drive at all. We're really starting to get quite annoyed with it now.
