01614080000

Just received a call from this number.

We acquired this number through Skype back in April 2011, but astonishingly, we’ve never put it to use. Strangely enough, we're inundated with about ten voicemails daily from individuals insisting that we’ve called them, which is utterly untrue. To make matters worse, our regular Skype service is practically unusable, as we’re bombarded with a phone ringing every minute. We've lodged a complaint with Skype and have gone ahead to cancel the number due to this nonsense.

Received a call that suddenly dropped, and now I can’t return it-number’s not coming up as valid.

Hello there! I'm the proprietor of CYC Vision Ltd, and I wanted to shed some light on a rather frustrating situation. We were associated with a Skype number from 2008 through 2010 but decided to discontinue it at the close of 2010 due to abysmal call quality. Unfortunately, my mobile number has found its way onto various websites, resulting in a barrage of calls from individuals who have been targeted by that old number. It's quite ironic, as I've likely received more calls than those who were actually rung by the scammers! I kindly request that people cease calling my mobile. Thank you!

His contact particulars include Skype: yogesh_rupani and an email address of [email protected]. He can be reached at the same phone number: +919928665958. One might wonder if Yogesh is fully aware of the impact that his call centre's outreach is having on individuals here in the UK.

Should you wish to get in touch with the head of the Call Centre responsible for these incessant calls, I’ve included his details below. I've also shared an advertisement he posted in a local employment forum in Jaipur that sheds light on the sheer volume of calls we receive here in the UK:

Yogesh Rupani is the managing director of craftechbpo.com, an Indian call centre operating under the misleading phone number of 01614080000. Following numerous complaints, they’ve even had to take down their Facebook page since their shady practices have been brought to light.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to Yogesh directly if you find yourself receiving one of these vexatious calls, especially if you’re registered with the Telephone Preference Service like I am.

Should you wish to have a word with the individual overseeing the call centre responsible for these persistent calls, I’ve included his details below. To shed light on the sheer volume of calls we’re receiving in the UK, I’ve also shared an excerpt from a job advertisement he posted in a local employment hub in Jaipur: Hello there, I trust you’re all well. We’re rolling out a new voice process initiative tailored for call centres.

It seems they've got a presence on Facebook too! Maybe dropping them a line with your thoughts would be a good idea? You can check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/bpocraftech

We acquired this number through Skype back in April 2011 and, oddly enough, it hasn’t been put to use at all. However, we are bombarded with nearly a thousand voicemails daily from individuals claiming we've contacted them, which is simply not the case. To make matters worse, our regular Skype isn't operational either, as we receive incessant phone rings every minute, making it virtually impossible to use. We’ve already flagged this issue with Skype, and the number has since been terminated.

Today I got a call from someone named Emma, she had an Indian accent and claimed to be from Accident Investigations. What’s annoying is that my number is ex-directory and I’m signed up with the TPS!

I received a call on my shiny new x-directory number from 01614080000 at 11:10 this morning. Turns out it was some sort of accident claim chasing firm. When I requested that they remove my number from their list, they had the audacity to say, "We can take you off our list, but we can’t delete you entirely!" Charming, isn’t it? If anyone has any info regarding the name of this company or how to reach them, I'd be very grateful! The caller was an unfamiliar accident chasing service.

I can’t believe how relentless these callers are! They keep pestering us about whether we've had an accident. We even spun them a yarn about losing a leg after a tumble down the stairs in a council flat, and it took them an eternity to realise we were having a laugh. They finally hung up after five minutes! But, lo and behold, they still kept calling back. In a moment of inspiration, I discovered a whistle in the office and gave it a good blast down the line-thankfully, that did the trick! I must say, it’s quite a sport winding them up!

Received a call purporting to be from the police investigation team, with a distinctly British accent that had possible Asian influences. They hung up almost immediately when it became apparent that I wasn't falling for their ruse. Definitely a scam!

The phone went off, but when I picked up, it was all silent on the other side. - Caller: unrecognised.

Blimey, that’s just like the phone call I received a moment ago!

It can be incredibly frustrating when you’re in the X directory!

Received a call from this number earlier - I decided to ignore it.

Could someone please put a stop to these annoyances?!

Received a phone call earlier today, but it was just a cacophony of noise on the line with absolutely no one speaking. Quite baffling, really!

I received a call of a similar nature today, and it’s far from the first time. In a fit of irritation, I ended up letting loose with a few choice expletives down the line. It was simply infuriating!

Really annoying calls from this number - kept ringing back because I have an elderly family member who just moved nearby and I was trying to confirm their new phone number. I called back four times in one day but never got through to anyone. It was worrying, especially since they called me four times within five hours and then just stopped responding. Big thanks to everyone who posted here earlier, it helped me figure out what was going on.

I wasn’t home when this number rang me. Seeing what others have said, I’m definitely not picking up if they try ringing back.

Received a call from this number earlier, yet amidst all the racket on the line, it seemed like no one was actually there. They certainly chose to ignore my attempts at conversation. If it happens again, I might just unleash a proper earful in true Anglo-Saxon fashion!

15/1/16 - Got a call from this number but my voicemail picked it up so they just hung up straight away - I'm ex-directory, so why aren't the Govt or OFCOM stepping in to sort these annoyances out?

I've been receiving persistent calls from a gentleman with an Indian accent, who insists he's representing "Accident Compensation Ltd." He keeps going on about compensation related to some supposed accident - the catch being, I’ve never reported any such incident! Clearly, this is nothing more than a dodgy scam. I can't help but feel infuriated by these chancers and wish they would get their comeuppance.

Had a phone call just a wee while ago, purporting to be from some traffic control service. Quite odd, if you ask me!

Got a call from a man with an Indian accent who said he was with "Accident Compensations Ltd." He said something about a crash I supposedly had, but I never did. Absolute scammers, hope they get caught.

I received a call from someone purporting to represent "Accident Compensations Ltd." They were discussing an accident claim that I have no knowledge of. It’s clear this is just another dodgy scam attempt. Honestly, I hope these con artists face the direst consequences for their deceitful ways! - purportedly from Accident Compensations Ltd.

It appears there’s a residential property in Manchester where it seems one of the youngsters may have inadvertently dialled. There was quite a bit of background noise-lots of chatter going on!

I'm receiving numerous unsolicited calls that are becoming quite bothersome. It would be greatly appreciated if any action could be taken to put an end to this.

Got a call from someone named Emily at Road Traffic Management, she had a weird accent. She was saying something about an accident I supposedly had? I told her I never been in any accident. Then she suddenly said she must have the wrong number and just ended the call. Feels like it was some kind of scam to me.

What a complete hassle! Typical nonsense, really. Apparently, there was an incident at this location. When I inquired about the person's identity, the response was a rather cryptic one: he stated he simply 'couldn't divulge that information as it was classified!' How utterly ridiculous!

I keep getting these dodgy calls from some chaps in India who are masquerading as if they're in Manchester, claiming they've got info about accidents. Total con artists!

I received another call from these chaps claiming to be from the UK, trying to discuss some supposed "accident" I had. It's becoming increasingly frustrating!

My missus received a call claiming that a relative had been involved in an accident. It’s absolutely outrageous! These callers are nothing but trouble, creating undue stress for so many. Who on earth are these people? They should be locked up for their despicable actions!

Received a call today at 11:05 in the morning on 17th December 2014. Just like others have recounted, it was an Asian gentleman on the line, but goodness me, his accent was quite dreadful! I could barely grasp one word for every four he uttered. Quite the challenge, I must say!

I've received multiple calls from this number, claiming that someone has been involved in an accident.

I've received more than twelve calls in just the past hour, all coming through to my direct line. Each one insists they haven’t called previously! I even had a cheeky call from someone pretending to be Steve Rogers, of all people!

I had a call from this number earlier today informing me that the owner of this line had been involved in a car accident within the last three years. The call quality was poor, and the chap on the other end had an Asian accent. I informed him that he’d actually reached a business phone (my direct work line), and he mentioned he would amend his records before promptly hanging up.

Today, our team has been inundated with calls from those pesky 'Accident Helpline' folks. It's been rather tiresome, to say the least!

Got a call from 01614080000. The person spoke really quietly, barely could hear them.

Like a lot of people here, I got no reply for ages, then suddenly they just cut me off. Feels like one of those dodgy scam calls to me.

I had a rather unpleasant experience with someone from this number. They were incredibly pompous and discourteous, insisting on questioning my identity as if I were clueless. Honestly, what a fool!

I've received no fewer than twelve calls from this number today alone! They seem utterly relentless, completely disregarding my wishes. It's clearly a business line. What can I do to put an end to these persistent calls?

I've had a rather troublesome call from a chap named Ben, who sported a thick accent reminiscent of the Indian subcontinent. It’s clear he's attempting to swindle people out of their details for dodgy accident claims. I’d recommend you either hang up immediately or indulge yourself in your preferred pastime of messing about with these callers’ time. Don’t forget to flag this annoying nuisance to the ICO as well. Interestingly, the number he used, beginning with 0161, is cleverly masked and comes from a pool of local numbers that have been assigned to Vodafone (C&W). The wonders of modern technology certainly make it easy for these pests to misrepresent themselves and masquerade as if they’re from Manchester!

Received a cheeky call today, claimed to be from the so-called Accident Investigation Department. They mentioned having my file about some mishap... Naturally, I thought it was amusing and inquired about what file, its source, and the details of this alleged accident. The chap wouldn’t disclose anything, citing 'security protocols,' and then proceeded to ask if I’d been involved in an accident. Quite ridiculous, really! Just after I put the phone down, I was bombarded with a recorded message about PPI. It’s quite peculiar that despite being on the Telephone Preference Service, this kind of nonsense continues unabated!

Ever since I switched my BT landline to a new number to dodge nuisance calls, I've been inundated with calls from this and a plethora of other numbers. It's utterly baffling, especially since I haven't shared my new number with anyone. In a bid to reclaim my peace, I splashed out on a call blocker and promptly added this troublesome number alongside every withheld and international call (you know, the ones that start with 00). It’s not a flawless solution, but it has definitely reduced the incessant ringing. Ultimately, my goal is to set up my phone to only accept calls from numbers I've saved in my contacts. That's the dream, isn't it? -_-

When I picked up, there was a long pause and I couldn’t hear anyone on the other end. Felt a bit dodgy, like one of those cold call scam calls.

I've been inundated with calls from this number, both at my residence and my workplace. It's becoming quite a bother, and I generally just end the call. What’s the hold-up in putting a stop to these persistent callers?

Picked up the phone but no one said anything, best just to ignore it.

I received a call at 10:37 this morning, 28th November 2014. I’m signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, yet they simply disconnected the call.

Had a ring from this number around 2 in the afternoon (mind you, I'm ex-directory). There was a bit of a muddled racket on the line, sounding rather like a call centre, and then they just cut me off. - Caller: 0161 448 0000.

Received a call from this number on my mobile at precisely 3:15. I decided to end the call abruptly. The caller was: 0161 448 0000.

I received a rather dodgy phone call today from someone with a foreign accent claiming we’d been involved in an accident three years back. Absolute nonsense! I suspect it’s a scammer trying to pry personal information from vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly. I attempted to ring them back, but of course, no one picked up. Stay vigilant, everyone!

Why don't the TPS put in a bit of effort and take action regarding this number that they’re already aware of?

This number appears to belong to Road Traffic Management, likely reaching out regarding claim processing. It’s the 01614080000 line. Interestingly, I was informed that no one here has experienced an accident over the past three years. They mentioned they’d get around to updating the records, though.

I had a rather alarming phone call from this number earlier this evening. A chap with a thick accent was insisting that I’d been in an accident, which I can assure you is absolute nonsense. When I asserted that this was untrue, he began to raise his voice, accusing me of being dishonest and threatening me with a £500 charge! He claimed to have my name, address, and phone number, which felt a bit too invasive for my liking. I decided it was best to hang up. Clearly, some people have too much time on their hands!

I've been receiving calls from this number, but there's never anyone on the other end. It seems like one of those automated calling systems that can't quite keep up with the volume. Given that I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, they really shouldn't be getting through to me at all. It's usually a nuisance, ringing my phone about five or six times in one night. Quite bothersome and definitely unwelcome! Cheers, Zoe

As a waste management company, we've been inundated with a staggering 18 calls from this number over a fortnight! It became rather ridiculous, so I decided to play along with the caller. When he asked about my wellbeing, I concocted a tale about injuring my finger. I mentioned I’d put a plaster on it and it healed quite well, to which he expressed his concern. He took it seriously and suggested I could put in a claim! Curiosity got the better of me, so I inquired about the payout. Imagine my surprise when he said it could be as much as £4000! I cheekily responded, "Splendid! That would cover my Christmas shopping nicely." Eventually, my interest waned and I terminated the call. What a right carry on!

I picked up the call from this number, and as soon as I greeted them with our usual business introduction, the caller abruptly disconnected without uttering a word. Quite peculiar, don't you think?

I've been receiving calls from this number incessantly. They always disconnect as soon as my voicemail kicks in. An individual with a foreign accent keeps mentioning something about an accident involving someone associated with my household, insisting that I should pursue a claim for injuries. Quite bizarre, really!

I just received a rather dubious phone call from this number, claiming that someone in my home had been involved in a minor car accident within the last three years. The caller's whole vibe seemed a bit off, making me feel quite uneasy. When I probed for more information and asked for their identity, they insisted they were legal advisors. However, communication was a challenge, as the gentleman was rather difficult to understand and seemed to have an Asian accent. It got to a point where I requested a written confirmation to clarify things. After a bit of back-and-forth about who he was attempting to reach, he kept reverting to the vague claim about someone in my household. I firmly stated that nobody here had had any accident. To my astonishment, he then threatened me, saying if it turned out I was being dishonest, I would be liable to pay a hefty £5000. At that, I promptly hung up the phone.

Received a call from a number in Manchester, yet it displayed as "International" on my phone. An Asian gentleman inquired whether I was using a business line. I informed him it was merely a private residential line. He apologised and mentioned that he must have gotten it wrong. Quite courteous of him, which is a tad different from the other feedback I've seen. It just doesn’t quite align with some of the other experiences reported.

They're still ringing folks, I've received multiple calls from them.

On the 19th of November at precisely 11:34, I received a call from someone purporting to be representing a compensation firm for accidents. It felt rather dodgy, as I suspect it originated from an overseas call centre. I mentioned that my number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service, indicating they were in violation of regulations by reaching out to me. To my surprise, they simply ended the call without another word.

I received a call from this number yesterday morning, but the caller ended the call as soon as my voicemail asked for their identity. Later in the evening, during my free minutes, I decided to ring them repeatedly and left several messages on their voicemail. In a few of those messages, I intentionally paused for a moment before speaking to hopefully irritate them when they play it back. Upon reflection, I’m quite surprised by some of the rather colourful language I used to express my opinions about them, considering I don’t typically resort to such words. However, it'll definitely be worth it if their reaction upon hearing those messages matches the outrage we feel when receiving such bothersome calls. If plenty of others follow suit, perhaps they'll finally comprehend the consequences of their actions. Just remember to withhold your number before you give them a ring!

Over the past few weeks, I've been inundated with calls from this number, all inquiring about an accident involving someone from my residence that allegedly took place a few years back. It’s evident they’re an overseas firm, and their manner is rather pushy. I really wish these unsolicited calls could be put to a stop!

Today, on the 18th of November 2014, I received a rather dubious call from this number. An individual with a thick accent attempted to pull the old trick of claiming that “someone in your dwelling had an accident recently.” I was well aware this was all a fabrication. When I confronted him and called him out on his nonsense, he vehemently denied it. At that point, I decided enough was enough and ended the conversation abruptly.

I recently received a rather unexpected call from that number. When I mentioned that I hadn't solicited their contact, the chap on the other end insisted I disclose who else resides in my household. I calmly told him to jog on, at which point he launched into a tirade, threatening to call again and warned me to brace myself for the consequences. To be honest, my frustration stemmed from how frequently they’ve been ringing me-it's relentless! Feeling a bit unsettled now, to say the least.

I've received a call from this number as well, and it took quite a bit of back and forth before I finally asserted that there was absolutely no one in my household involved in any sort of mishap. Just a heads-up, I'm already signed up with the Telephone Preference Service!

Got a call saying it was about some accident I'd supposedly been in. Never had any accident at all.

I've received more than 60 calls from this number just last week - it’s absolutely infuriating! Why on earth can't the authorities put a stop to this perpetual nuisance? It’s as if no one’s handling the situation properly!

I ended the conversation promptly when he mentioned it was regarding Traffic Management-had a hunch he was trying to claim I’d been involved in an accident. The 0161 code indicates it's from Manchester, yet it appeared on my phone as an international call! Quite the puzzlement.

I chose not to answer this call, as the number seemed quite dodgy and appeared as International. I'm on the TPS list, so I’m puzzled as to why I'm still receiving these nuisance calls. Is there really any value in registering if it doesn’t seem to work?

I've received several unexpected calls from this number and initially chose to ignore them. Eventually, my patience wore thin, and I decided to pick up. The man on the other end introduced himself as Jordon and launched into his usual sales pitch. After informing him that I was registered with the Telephone Preference Service and that I intended to report him, I hung up. To my surprise, he called back, hurling threats and boasting about his superior intelligence. I ended the conversation once more, and he proceeded to ring me a few additional times, which I opted to ignore. It's high time someone took action against these individuals!

I recently received a rather suspicious call from this number, claiming to inquire about any accidents I might have experienced over the past three years. I played along with his chatter and concocted a fictitious tale about tumbling out of a pub. He then stated he would need to consult his supervisor. At that point, I decided it was best to hang up!

A few days back, I received a call from this individual, and it was quite similar to the last one - but it really rattled my elderly mate (she's 92, bless her heart). She genuinely believed that her son, who had just left for work that very morning, had been involved in some unfortunate mishap, and it left her absolutely terrified. It’s utterly appalling behaviour, and I’m at my wit’s end trying to figure out how to lodge a complaint about this sort of nonsense.

Received a phone call from this lot not long ago. The chap on the line had quite the Indian accent and was rambling on about an accident, but I couldn't really make out what he was saying. When I requested him to repeat himself and speak a bit more clearly, he abruptly hung up. I've since blocked the number.

Yet another call from this number, what a nuisance! Five minutes later, I received another one and they hung up on me as well. It’s infuriating, especially since I’m ex-directory - this really shouldn’t be happening!

I received a call from this number around midday on the 6th of November 2014, but there was nobody on the other end when I picked up.

I received a rather dubious call from an individual identifying himself as Mark Wilson, claiming to represent some accident claims firm. He asserted that a member of my household had been involved in an accident in the last three years. I firmly told him that this was not the case and mentioned that I was on the Telephone Preference Service register, which made me suspicious of his intentions. His response was surprisingly forceful, insisting that I needed to provide information regarding this alleged accident, which I found quite alarming. Eventually, I decided to hang up on him.
