0161478983 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 0161478983 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from a spoofed Manchester number, often with incomplete digits suggesting call ID manipulation. Callers falsely claim involvement in a car accident, frequently speaking with strong, hard-to-understand accents. Recipients typically answer, deny any accident, and hang up as the calls continue repeatedly over short periods. No genuine messages or voicemails are left, and attempts to call back usually result in a disconnected number or automated responses. The scam is widely recognised and ignores requests for written confirmation. Users are advised to ignore or block the number, report to the Information Commissioner's Office, and be vigilant as the callers alter numbers slightly to bypass filtering.
Reports on phone number 0161478983
8 yearsI have no clue who rang me as it happened while I was at work. But I’m pretty sure it was some sort of spam or scam call because the number shown wasn’t right. Normally, a Manchester 0161 number should have 11 digits arranged like 4 + 3 + 4 [4 national, 3 area, 4 local digits], but this one only had 10 digits. So the caller ID must've been fiddled with to hide where it actually came from. Pretty certain the person calling wasn’t even based in Manchester.Manchester8 yearsIn the past month and a half, I've had about 30 calls from what looks like scammers, as I've checked on this site. They never bother to leave voicemails, so I just let it ring out. No clue how to get them to stop, so I suppose this will keep up for a while. Can't wait for the Christmas break to get some peace!8 yearsSome bloke rang me saying I'd been in a car crash, but I told him I don't even drive or own a car. After that, he realised he probably dialled the wrong number.8 yearsGot a call from someone with a thick foreign accent saying they have a report about me being in a car crash. Could barely catch what they were saying. Pretty sure it was a scam.8 yearsOnce more, I found myself on the receiving end of a call from an Asian lady who wouldn’t stop prattling on about an incident that I wasn’t involved in. I finally lost my patience, let her know exactly what I thought, and then promptly ended the call.8 yearsThe moment I picked up and caught the word 'Accident', I didn't hesitate to tell them exactly what I thought before slamming down the phone.8 yearsI said hello but they just didn’t reply at all.8 yearsGot some calls with no voicemail left, so I tried ringing back but the message said the number was out of service for the time being.8 yearsOnce more, they rang me up saying I'd been in a crash. Just can't seem to catch a break with this rubbish.8 yearsThese are definitely scammers - I think we oughta post this number all over social media to warn others. Also, you could get in touch with the Information Commissioner's Office in Wilmslow to file a complaint. You can find their info here: https://ico.org.uk/Information Commissioner ’ s OfficeWilmslow8 yearsI just ended the call right as my voicemail kicked in.8 yearsI picked up the phone and the person on the other end just said, “Goodbye.” Weirdest call ever!8 yearsNobody picked up, then a woman’s voice said "bye" before hanging up.8 yearsI usually don’t pick up calls from unknown numbers, so I ignored this one. As soon as the voicemail started, I hung up - seemed like it was one of those scam calls trying to catch someone out!8 yearsNo one picked up when I called back.8 yearsNobody picked up, just heard a lady say "bye" and then it went quiet.8 yearsThey hung up on me as soon as I asked them to put it in writing, couldn't make out what they were saying anyway.8 yearsGot a call about some accident apparently, but the guy’s accent was so thick I barely caught what he was saying. He claimed we weren’t involved in any accident, yet he kept ringing us non-stop. Ended up with 4 calls in just one day! Proper annoying.8 yearsLooks like a scammer! I called back and the number was out of service for a bit, probably trying to find someone else to fool.8 yearsI picked up but nobody said anything.8 yearsI answered the call but no one was there.8 yearsHad a call from someone claiming there’d been an accident and asking me to confirm my personal info. Total scam alert.8 yearsI mentioned to this guy that i'd been in a crash and he seemed proper eager to chat about it all. But as soon as I said it happened two decades ago, he just ended the call. Quite rude if you ask me, haha!8 yearsTotal scam, really rubbish stuff.8 yearsGot a call from 0161478983 but the line was dead when I answered. Also, I've been getting a bunch of dodgy scam emails lately. Cheers to (insert corporation name here) for somehow letting my info slip out!8 yearsYeah, no reply at all.8 yearsI just said 'hello' but got nothing back, no response at all.8 yearsGot a call from someone trying to scam me. Total waste of time.8 yearsI gave my phone number as a sort of hello, then there was this really long silence. After a while, a robotic woman’s voice just said ‘goodbye’. What’s the deal with that?8 yearsI didn’t pick up as the number looked unfamiliar. It went straight to voicemail, but there was no message at all.8 yearsI didn’t pick up cos the number looked almost the same as one that called me a couple days ago - 0161 478 347 or smth like that. When I picked up last time they just hung up. I checked this site and loads say it’s linked to some car crash scam. They just tweak the digits a bit so it looks real on your caller ID. Pretty shady if u ask me.8 yearsI've been getting calls from what looks like the same TPS scam all day - about five times now, and each time it’s a different number. They just hang up and leave it to the voicemail. You’d think a real person would say something or leave a message if it was legit.TPS8 yearsI answered the call but there was no one there.Submit Your Own Report (161478983)
