01614290818 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01614290818 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number frequently used by callers with Asian or Indian accents claiming to be from M&S, British Gas, or other companies. Callers often know personal details like names and postcodes but hang up quickly or say nothing when answered. They sometimes ask if the recipient is over a certain age and try to confirm personal info before abruptly ending the call. Many report silent calls, hang-ups when answering machines pick up, and attempts to catch people off guard. It appears to be a highly active nuisance number with several complaints about breaches of GDPR and unsolicited contact despite TPS registration. Users consistently block and ignore calls, noting scammers never leave messages and often spoof the number.

Got a call from an asian guy asking if he was talking to my husband, then said he was with M&S and asked if I was past a certain age. Then just said have a nice day and hung up. Definitely felt like some kinda scam going on.

He’s already rung me 4 times today and still no answer from me. If it’s really important (which I seriously doubt), he can leave a message on the voicemail, otherwise he’s wasting his time.

Managed to get through the TPS and I picked up. They just cut the call straight away, so not much more than a hassle really. Usually we hardly get any strange calls due to TPS, so this number is probably quite persistent. I guess TPS needs some kind of chat before they take action, so if anyone else gets a call from this number, make sure you report it.

Missed the call so couldnt pick up, and no voicemail left either. When I finally answered, there was no one there, mighta been some automated spam machine. Seeing other comments about this number, I’m just gonna block it. Chances are they’re faking the number anyway.

This moron has called me twice in the past few hours. Looks like a right persistent nuisance. Never says a word and just hangs up as soon as the answerphone picks up. Clearly a total waste of time!!! Most definitely just another scammer wasting both his time and other people's!!!

I don’t usually pick up calls straight away anymore, prefer to wait for them to hit my voicemail. If I recognise the number then I’ll ring back, if not I just leave it and check later to see who it was.

They rang me about 11 in the morning. I was outside in the garden, so it went to voicemail. The number started with 0161, which is Manchester, so I figured it could be an older family member. Tried calling back but the number was unavailable. Starting to wonder if I should just ditch the landline altogether.

Missed the call before I could pick up. No voicemail left. When I did answer, nothing was said, maybe some sort of robocall. After reading other comments about this number, I’m gonna block it. Most likely it’s just a fake number anyway, so no point keeping it.

I got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who wanted to check my name, which I confirmed. Then he asked if I was older than 51. I chose not to answer and told him I was registered with the TPS and he shouldn’t ring me again. He ignored that and said he wasn’t trying to sell anything. We ended up talking over each other, me telling him not to call, but he kept going. Eventually, I just ended the call and blocked the number. Pretty sure it was a scam.

Wanted me to verify some info, which I refused to do even though he somehow had her details - pretty scary. Definitely sounds like a scam from somewhere in India. It’s crazy how others say they got calls too, but for all sorts of different reasons! He ended the call as soon as I said I wouldn’t confirm anything till he properly told me why he was ringing.
