01614649288 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01614649288 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance spam and scam caller originating from Manchester numbers with similar dialling codes. Callers often ask for individuals unknown to recipients, frequently posing as marketing or survey agents who insist on asking personal questions, including life insurance or household details. Many calls end abruptly or involve rudeness and hang-ups when challenged. The calls are often automated or feature foreign accents, particularly South Asian, and may involve spoofing legitimate UK numbers. Multiple reports mention repeated calls within short periods, with no voicemail left. Blocking numbers provides limited relief as callers rapidly switch numbers. Users are advised to report these calls to official fraud and police databases and consider raising the issue with their MP to seek broader technological protections against spoofed scam calls.

Every year about this time period I get loads of calls for a lady named Lucy McFarlane. I've never had this number linked to her or anyone like that, and I’ve owned this number for more than 25 years. Somehow my number is on some list they’re using illegally, probably breaching GDPR, and all the calls come flooding in together.

ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS! Always report any scam calls straight to the police fraud site. Just search for ‘action fraud’ and head to the ‘police.uk’ website. Find the ‘report a phishing attempt’ section and make sure you read all the info carefully. Then fill in the details about the scam, including any links or website addresses. You don’t need to register, and they won’t ask for personal info unless you’ve actually lost money. Reporting every single call and message is the only way the police can keep track of these attempts to cheat us.

A bloke with an Indian accent rang me, said he was from Simple Lifestyle UK. Mentioned he wanted to ask three quick questions. Instead, he fired off about ten questions, all sorts about my life insurance, internet provider, mortgage company and that. I told him I wasn’t going to share that info. He just hung up after that.

This number rings me a couple of times every day, I never pick up 'cause it's always someone with an Asian accent going on and they somehow know my name. If I do end up answering when I'm not paying attention, I just say I'm not who they're looking for. I really can't deal with these calls, feels like they're dodgy and should be looked into by the police.
4 years
Total scam, there was this weird crackling and echo during the call. The person said they were from Consumer Life, only wanted to ask 3 quick questions about life insurance, if I own my home, what kind of TV I have, broadband, and phone bills. Also asked if Virgin Media could reach out to offer better deals. I just made up all my answers. After that, I got bombarded with calls from loads of different marketing firms trying to sell me stuff. Seems like they just pass on your info to tons of companies for spam calls. Best to steer clear if you don’t want endless marketing calls!

Got a call from this company named 1st Choice. They asked loads of personal stuff, couldn't really tell what they were aiming for. They only needed about 20 seconds though. Wanted to check my name, where I live, if I have kids, my job, and if I got life insurance… I lost patience and told him I wasn’t sharing my info and to remove everything they had on me. He just said alright and then hung up on me.
