01615187061 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01615187061 👆 is reported as a persistent scam caller posing as insurance or warranty providers, often targeting washing machine or Sky equipment warranties. Callers typically have detailed personal information yet falsely claim to represent legitimate companies. They use high-pressure tactics to elicit bank or card details, frequently disconnecting when challenged or asked for company credentials. Many callers exhibit foreign accents and may switch numbers to evade blocking. Despite being on the Telephone Preference Service, recipients face repeated illegal calls, some involving silent or hang-up tactics. Vulnerable individuals are at particular risk, with reports of financial loss. It is strongly advised not to engage or provide any personal or financial information, to block the number, and to report such calls to Action Fraud or the relevant authorities.

Some one called saying they were from Legal and General life insurance. It was a really polite English woman on the phone, and she seemed to know loads about me - old addresses, where I live now, my birthday, when my policy began, policy numbers and even what I pay each month. She had every detail about me, it was quite surprising.
7 years
Said they were from some washing machine warranty firm, but since my landlord provides all the appliances, I knew straight away it was a con. I’m signed up to the telephone preference service so these calls should be against the law, but that doesn’t seem to stop them ringing anyway.
7 years
A strange accent. It sounded like they were talking about some kind of warranty or insurance.

Got a call from this number again, same spiel about my washing machine warranty running out. They kept me on the line for like 12 minutes, then passed me onto someone else (different voice but the same background noise so I knew it was still the same mob!). Tried to get me to sign up for coverage starting at £55 for three years, but I managed to haggle it down to £29. Told them I had to hang up after that and kinda hoped they enjoyed wasting their time on me!!!!!!
7 years
Got a call saying my washing machine cover was nearly up for renewal and they'd sort it out. Let her ramble on for a bit then I asked what brand my washing machine was, and she just cut me off. Pretty sure she was gonna try and get my bank or card info next. It's really risky because most folks own a washing machine and dont really remember when the cover ends. Really dodgy and sounds believable enough to catch people out.
7 years
This is so daft. They said the washing machine warranty was almost up, but it definitely isn’t. I had nothing better to do, so I played along for a laugh and they put me through to their billing department to “register”! They gave me the choice of one or three years. I joked if they had a ten year plan for £10,000. They paused for ages, then just ended the call. What’s that all about?

SCAM ALERT! This is just one of loads of insurance and warranty scams going about. I've reported it to the police and the NFIB via Action Fraud. Don’t expect instant results, but each complaint helps build a bigger picture so they can take proper action. The police and NFIB really need to see how bad these scams have gotten, so it’s crucial everyone reports them.

Got a call asking for the person who pays the bill, they had my address and name and said they were from the Sky Production Team to check on the Sky kit. I rang Sky myself and they said they don’t have any team like that that looks after the equipment. If you get a call like this, just hang up cos it’s a scam.

They said they were from Sky's security department, but then switched to saying they were an insurance firm trying to sell cover for my TV and other home gadgets. Total scam. They even asked what brand my TV was and seemed to have loads of my info like my address and phone number. They said they were based in my town, but the number showed up as from Manchester. I don't live anywhere near Manchester. When I asked for their company address, they just hung up!

I recently received a call from a firm known as Premier Protect, and just to clarify, they have absolutely no affiliation with Sky. While they do provide Sky insurance, they're not rangin' from Sky itself, nor from their official insurance partner D&G, who charge around £9 a month for a prompt repair or replacement service. They might mention that your direct debit is on the verge of expiring, nudging you to make an immediate single payment at a 'discounted rate' and then try to pass you off to a supervisor who’ll dangle a bit more discount if you settle the payment right then and there. Just a heads-up: if you own a Sky Q box, keep in mind that it belongs to Sky, meaning they’re the ones responsible for repairs or replacements.

Got a call claiming to be from Sky about some equipment warranty, but the place has never even had Sky. They asked for two people who don’t live here anymore, so I told them to remove those names from their call list. They said they’d sort it out and then hung up.

Someone rang me saying they were from Sky, talking about my Sky gear insurance running out. Thing is, I've never had Sky at this place, not even once. Definitely a con. What bugs me is how much personal stuff they seem to have - my full name, initials, address and all. How on earth do they find that out? We’re pretty cautious with our info.

They said they were ringing about my washing machine warranty and claimed it was for a Hotpoint, but mine’s actually a Samsung. I tried to get the company name, but they wouldn’t tell me. When I asked for his name, he said “John Smith” with a strong Indian accent. I said, “Seriously? John Smith?” and he went, “Yeah, I’m an Indian called John Smith, so what? It’s normal. I’m not giving my real name,” and then he just hung up.

Received a call regarding Sky insurance, which I clearly don’t have. I stated this politely, but ended up uttering a rather unsavoury term and hung up. To my surprise, she rang me again, remarking that I ought not to use foul language as she was merely fulfilling her duties. I promptly ended the call again. It makes me wonder if they’ve hired youngsters for this dodgy business, and perhaps they’re not even aware that it’s a scam themselves.

These lot are seriously dangerous - maybe not so much for us who know to just put the phone down, but for older folks and those more vulnerable who take everything at face value and end up paying out of fear. I see it all the time - we’ve got someone next door who’s been caught out! It might not be the exact same scam, but bless her, she’ll fall for it again because she’s too trusting. It’s like telling them ‘Trust no one’ just doesn’t sink in. Honestly, these scammers deserve something worse than a slap on the wrist!

Caller gave a proper name and the first line of the address, said it was regarding a washing machine. Told the bloke on the phone we’d joined the Telephone Preference Scheme and told him I reckoned it was a scam so to take our number off every list they’ve got. Pretty sure we’ve had calls from that area before, so we just block them every time. This is the second dodgy call today, the other one came from Liverpool.

Then he said he’d put me through to his supervisor, who also sounded foreign. When I asked where they were calling from, she just said "Sky". I pressed for their location and she said Brighton, but the number was an 0161, which is Manchester. Pretty clear this was just another con.
