01613966055 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01613966055 👆 is reported as a persistent source of nuisance calls linked to scams and aggressive telemarketing, often impersonating reputable brands. Callers, frequently using different numbers with similar prefixes, pressure recipients for personal details or participation in dubious surveys, ignoring requests to remove numbers from their lists. Many users describe silent calls, hang-ups, or abusive behaviour when challenged. Incidents include attempts to extract sensitive information and harassment, even following prior consent withdrawal or blocking efforts. Calls sometimes reference surveys or financial products but are widely mistrusted. The volume, frequency, and tactics suggest organised nuisance calling, often linked to phishing or fraud. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, avoid providing information, report the calls, and use call-blocking tools to protect personal data and peace of mind.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media, total scam. They somehow wiped my mate’s phone and cleaned out their bank account. The police are looking into it now. Ignore these calls and never click on the links they send you!

Been getting calls non stop from 01613547756 and some other similar ones, like 01613549933 and 01613966055. I just hang up straight away when I see these numbers coz I dunno who they are. I never pick up calls from numbers I dont know, but these calls are really annoying.
9 years
01613966055 - such a hassle. They call just to annoy. I mess with them by giving silly answers then hang up just before the end. Proper waste of their time!

Got a call from someone saying they were with "Beneficial" doing a home survey. When I told them to take me off their list, they said I couldn’t do that and that they’re allowed to ring anyone they want. Same time this morning, I got another call from a different person saying the same thing.

Just like everyone else here, I've gone ahead and blocked that number now.

Got 10 rings over just 2 days.

This number has been ringing me nonstop, honestly, phone harassment needs to be banned.

These muppets keep ringing me about surveys for well known companies, like 10 times a day. My mum died last week out of nowhere and I’ve got her phone to handle her affairs. I told them she passed away and to stop calling, but those cheeky blokes just went on asking if I’d answer some questions. Bloody pests!
9 years
Not sure who they are, but from what others have said, seems like they're dodgy. I'm gonna block the number now.
9 years
Attempted calling back but no luck whatsoever.

They keep ringing asking for personal details, even after I told them the name they gave wasnt correct (apparently I’m ‘Pedro’ even though I’ve had this number for 18 years!). I just call them dodgy and end the call.

This website is a rip-off. What a bunch of tossers.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Beneficial. A guy with an Indian accent just quickly went through some info and said he was conducting a survey. Then he asked me to verify my details. Honestly, these kinds of calls should be banned. It feels like harassment. Also, since I never share my phone number, I’m really puzzled how they got hold of it.

This number has rung me like five times since yesterday, and I still dunno who's calling or why?
9 years
I’m really at my wit’s end with these incessant calls! I’ve requested time and again for them to take my number off their list, yet they just keep coming back. What on earth can we do to put an end to this? Shouldn’t our phone service providers be able to tackle this nuisance? After all, they’re the ones who know who’s behind the bills, right? If they’re not willing or able to help, perhaps it’s high time that the government stepped in with some hefty fines for these companies.

I've been receiving a barrage of calls from this lot-twenty times in a single day! I answered just once, and they hung up on me! It’s all rather peculiar. Now, I’m getting calls from various other numbers. It just keeps on going, doesn’t it?
9 years
Annoying call! They ring a few times every day, always leaving blank voicemails with just noise from what sounds like a call centre. Had to block them now! Feels like some kinda scam for sure.

I keep gettin calls from 01613966055 all day long, like five times in one day! Its proper annoying. Ive put it on my block list now and honestly, you should do as well. It’s a right hassle.

No idea who it is, no one says a word. They’ve rung me three times today, proper annoying. I got myself a kid’s whistle, so if they bother me again I’m gonna blow it straight into the phone. Sick to death of these silent calls.
9 years
They rang me yesterday, and I told them to remove me from their list, even mentioned something about GDPR and the new laws coming soon. Guess what? They called me again today.

My phone buzzes like crazy all the time. I get loads of random calls from annoying numbers every day, sometimes more than 10 times. It’s kinda funny in a weird way! Stay well and cheers to that ????

Got a call from someone called Alice who said she had 3 questions for me. I said no and told her to remove my number from whatever list they had. Then, the same number rang again, this time a woman claiming to be from Beneficial. I told her again to take me off their list. Feeling really annoyed and hassled by this.

Got a call from an Asian woman claiming to be from marketing, wanted me to confirm my name and address.
9 years
Just got a random call from some survey firm named Beneficial. I've told them before to take my number off their list. After I made her go through the usual stuff, she didn’t disconnect (and neither did I) and then she put me on a 3-way call with some other guy called Matthew or something, asking him the same questions. Seems like this lot who’ve got folks' info aren't great at keeping it safe or following data protection rules.

Answered the call and there was nothing but silence, so I just hung up, proper annoying that.

They’re hopeless, never pick up when you try calling back.

Called for someone else with a completely different name, sounded Asian too, defo not the first time. Honestly getting really fed up now!!!
9 years
Next time someone rings claiming to be from Beneficial about a survey you've supposedly taken, try what I did. I just kept blurting out random stuff like sky, chair, cup, bird, shoe and whatnot. The lady got proper annoyed and began shouting into the phone. My little lad asked, "Dad, who was that?" I told him, "Just one of those annoying telemarketers, mate." Honestly, the best way to stop these calls is just to mess about and waste their time.

I’m proper fed up! I’ve blocked like 11 different numbers already! Some bloke told me to sign up my number to stop marketing calls. I’ve done that, but they still keep ringing. When you ask to speak to their manager, they just brush you off. Best thing is to just keep hitting decline! Saves the stress and the grey hairs lol!
9 years
Helpful at first, tried to ask about my lifestyle but then got really irritating, they ring me like two or three times every week.

Scammers, jokers, con artists, tryna take your cash, same old troublemakers. Best to just give em a miss, these folks come from places where ethics are a joke, proper freeloaders lol.

Got a call today from some woman with an accent I couldn’t make out at all! Told her to take me off their list, then just ended the call and blocked the number. What a pain!

Received a call from someone with a thick accent. Could barely understand what they were saying. Ended up disconnecting.

Keep getting annoying calls, keep blocking but they always switch the last digits. Honestly, there should be laws with proper heavy fines for these firms by now.

I reckon this number, along with 01245407327, seems to be linked to telemarketing, in my opinion. Quite the bother, I must say, what a nuisance!

Didn't pick up when I called-definitely seems like it’s some PPI nonsense or other rubbish.

i got a call from them today, when i picked up they just stayed silent and after like 3 minutes they hung up on me without saying a word.

Honestly, I’m well and truly fed up with em. They can’t get past my landline ‘cause of the call blocker, so now they’re annoyin’ me on my mobile instead - it’s proper frustrating!!

Survey call, I blocked the number straight away.

They rang me asking for my late mother-in-law, and when I told them she had actually passed away over three years ago and asked what their business was with her, the rude woman just cut me off. Not a single sorry for thinking my mother-in-law was still alive, just the phone going dead when I questioned their reasons. Any decent firm would at least apologise for the mix-up and delete the number from their records, but these lot keep calling, always from a Manchester code. Absolute nasty people with nothing better to do than waste time and probably scam folks, I reckon.

They rang me like 4 times within a few mins, I didn’t pick up. Every time I block one number, another one pops up. Proper annoying.

I answered and they just hung up on me straight away without saying a word.

I find myself in the same predicament around three times a week. It isn't just this number; there's always a different one popping up, one after the other. Naturally, I block them, yet the calls keep rolling in. I've made it a point never to pick up, as I reckon it’s just some daft individual deriving amusement from their antics. I can't fathom what they hope to achieve, apart from their own twisted delight in disturbing others. I've been ex-directory for yonks, but that seems to make no difference. It feels as though we’ve lost any semblance of control over our private matters these days.

Tried calling them back, but the call just cut off.

They said something about yearly life insurance, yeah right. I just ended the call.

I had this number blocked as a spam scammer a while back, so I just picked up and put the phone down without saying a word. The woman on the other end kept rambling her usual script for ages, and it took her forever to figure out I wasn’t biting. After over a minute of her blabbering, she finally gave up and hung up. Felt good knowing it was just her time and effort going to waste!

Got a call from some company called Beneficial claiming to do a survey. They totally ignored my mum when she picked up and just asked for me. I had to tell them three times to stop calling, even though I’m careful about opting out and never heard of them before. Then the person mentioned something about the Data Protection Act 1998 like that’s supposed to make me feel better. Honestly, just felt like a waste of time.

Got a call from 0161 396 6055 earlier. If you've got an android phone, just press the call icon, then head to settings, switch on 'Hide contacts without numbers', then enable 'Show caller info', and also turn on 'Caller ID and spam protection'. Next time it rings, your phone will let you know its spam. Pretty handy!

I picked up but there was no noise at all, then after about 5 seconds they just hung up. I tried calling them back but they wouldn't pick up. I'm really puzzled about why they called me in the first place.
