Phone number ☎️ 01615119173 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and likely scam originating from a call centre, often with a foreign accent. The callers falsely claim to represent council housing or government agencies, offering compensation for alleged housing disrepair or accident claims. Many report aggressive or evasive behaviour when questioned, with some calls ending abruptly when challenged. The number is associated with no voicemail or legitimate follow-up, and recipients frequently advise blocking it immediately. Calls have been flagged by phone systems as potential fraud, and local councils and trading standards have been notified. Users are urged not to engage, provide personal details, or trust the callers, as these tactics appear designed to deceive vulnerable individuals.
Reports on phone number 01615119173
4 yearsWhen I tried ringing back, it seemed to be a number that’s not in service.4 yearsI had a rather peculiar phone call today from a woman with a distinct foreign accent. She claimed to be from the local Council's housing repairs team, inquiring if I had any maintenance issues in my home. I made it quite clear that I detest random calls like these and promptly hung up. Quite intrusive, if you ask me!Council5 yearsI answered the call, but there was absolutely nobody on the other side. I'm not quite sure why I even bothered to pick it up-normally, I shun any numbers I don't recognise. Quite odd, really!5 yearsTotally a rip-off.5 yearsClaims Direct keep ringing up pretending to offer compensation for council and housing association tenants over poor repairs! I told them I was an ICO investigator and they quickly hung up! Absolute muppets milking the system or just dumb! STAY WELL CLEAR! They call from numbers ending in 72 and 71, probably sequence generated! Dead easy to spot these idiots, sounds like they’re overseas, maybe Bangalore, 'cause you can hear other idiots babbling in the background!Claims DirectInformation Commissioner ' s Office5 yearsNo clue who that was ringing, they didn’t bother to leave a message, pretty annoying if you ask me!5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be a gov dept offering help with compensation for neglected council flats! Felt fishy to me.5 yearsI was pretty tired and picked up even tho the number was unfamiliar (normally I dont). Got a foreign accent asking for me by name then said they were calling from a national tenants group about the place I rent on a certain street. I just chuckled and hung up. Folks might easily fall for this.5 yearsI picked up this number and they said it was 'Claims Direct'. They wanted to chat about the accident I had earlier this year.Claims Direct5 yearsGot a call from 0161 511 9173, luckily me phone warned me it could be dodgy. I'd say don’t pick up on numbers you don’t know, there’s loads of rubbish calls going round. Honestly, these lot belong in a gutter or something.5 yearsNumber was blocked and unknown to me.5 yearsGot a call from 01615119173 this morning. Seemed like a new tactic! The person said they were contacting all council tenants about any repairs that needed sorting in their homes. When I asked which council they represented, they said they were an independent firm hired to call every tenant about any outstanding repairs. I told them I only deal with my own local council and ended the call. I've reported it to our local council, who said they'll pass it on to Trading Standards.5 yearsLuckily got a heads up about a possible scam, so i didn’t pick up. Blocked the caller straight away. Honestly, i hope they just disappear and leave people alone.5 yearsWhat a dreadful experience! I received a rather dubious call from a woman purporting to be reaching out to all council tenants regarding any lingering repairs needed for their residences. Naturally, I inquired about which council she represented, but her response was that they were an independent firm contracted to contact tenants regarding repair issues. I firmly insisted that I only engage with our local council and promptly ended the conversation. This afternoon, I shall ring my local housing office to inform them of this unsettling call.5 years01615119173 is a scam number pretending about an accident.

Might as well waste their time instead of falling for their scam. They're as bad as that annoying Utilita lot who bombard me with like 68 voicemails even when I block their number. So yeah, I just pick up and stay silent - pretty entertaining to watch them hang up eventually!
