Phone number ☎️ 01614777778 👆 is reported as a nuisance and potentially fraudulent number frequently used for unsolicited calls, often by a foreign-accented caller claiming to represent a government or accident claims department. Callers typically mention alleged injury claims linked to the recipient’s details but refuse to provide clear information or company identification.

Received a call from someone claiming to represent an accident assistance service. However, as soon as we mentioned that we're registered with the Telephone Preference Service, the call abruptly ended. Quite suspicious, wouldn't you say?

Received a call last night that immediately rang a bell since our elderly parents received a similar one just days prior. It seems to have the same pattern detailed here and elsewhere: an Asian man on the line claiming to be associated with the UK government. He initially asserted that he believed someone had had an accident at our address. However, when we probed further with questions, he then claimed he was conducting a survey about accidents. Curious that he couldn't disclose which government department he represented. Clearly, this was a scam call!

I received a call from this number earlier today (06. 07. 11). It was clear right away that it was from some far-off call centre, so we decided to stay silent and not say a word. The caller kept saying "hi" a couple of times before eventually ending the call. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I recommend just remaining quiet; they’ll usually hang up and stop bothering you before long.

A man with an Indian accent claimed to be representing a particular company, but we struggled to catch what he was saying. He mentioned that someone using our phone number had put in an injury claim not too long ago. At that moment, we made it clear that we believed this to be a scam and asked him not to ring us again.

Hi there, I've been getting persistent calls from the same number lately. Each time I answer, there's complete silence on the other end. When I tried to ring it back, it claimed that the number wasn't recognised, which is quite odd. A quick search online revealed that it’s linked to ROADCOAT (UK) Ltd., a road repair company, with the contact details being 0161 477 7778, and their email is [email protected]. Their website is www.roadcoat.com. These calls are becoming a right nuisance, happening about four times a day now.

Received an identical call from the number 01614777778 on our business line. A chap with an Asian accent introduced himself as Mark, claiming to be from the 'UK Claims Department'. We pointed out that he had reached a business number, to which he apologised and seemed eager to end the call. However, we pressed him for the company name once more, which he provided. When we then asked for a contact number, he erupted into laughter and abruptly hung up. Quite the bizarre encounter, I must say!

I received a call from that number on Friday at eight in the evening. The voice sounded just like what others have described in earlier comments. He introduced himself as part of the "UK Helpline" and asked how I was doing. We didn't carry on the conversation after that, though.

Received a call from some chap who sounded like he was from India, spouting nonsense about us being accident injury victims and how we should file a claim or some such drivel. I promptly reminded him that this is a private, ex-directory number, and firmly asked him not to bother us with this rubbish again. Wrapped up the call swiftly. If they dare to ring us again, we’re ready to report them. Absolute leeches!

An utter nuisance (we suspect it was someone from India) just called us, claiming our number was passed on by our insurance company. We played along for just a fleeting moment, but then she unleashed an impressive string of profanities before hanging up. Rather unfortunate that we couldn't glean any additional details about her. It's plain as day these folks are cold calling, despite her insistence to the contrary!

Upon entering this number into a search engine, it directs you to UPS parcel tracking information. I’ve attempted to reach out to them during the day, and they claim the call is linked to their fax machine! It’s quite bizarre as we've been bombarded with calls-eleven times in a single day! Yet, every time we answer, there’s absolutely no one on the line. Quite perplexing, isn’t it?

I just answered a call from this number, and the moment I did, they hung up. Honestly, what a pointless use of time!

It's just like all the other calls from this number - a chap with a thick accent on the line, and the connection was dreadful, rather suspecting it might be an international call. The moment we asked for the nature of their business, they abruptly hung up. Truly, it's yet another irritating call from this number!

I received a call from an overseas gentleman using that number who claimed to be associated with the government and wanted to discuss personal injury claims. I decided to hang up on him.

I received a pre-recorded message saying "thank you for calling," yet these individuals decided to phone me! Quite strange, if you ask me!

On Wednesday, 6th July 2011, we received a call from this number during our lunch hour. At first, there was nothing but silence, but the background ambience resembled that of a call centre. Eventually, a man’s voice broke the stillness with a simple “Hello.” However, the moment we responded with “Hello,” he abruptly ended the call.

I received a call from a chap with a bit of an accent, and it was rather tricky to grasp what he was saying. He mentioned something about an accident claim. However, the moment we asked him to provide the name of the person he was trying to reach, the call was terminated abruptly. To top it off, the call quality was absolutely atrocious!
