01615201961 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01615201961 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls about bogus refunds for washing machine warranties or insurance overpayments. Callers, often with foreign accents and claiming to represent well-known companies, seek bank or cheque details under the pretense of processing refunds. Many reports describe receiving calls at inconvenient times, including Sundays, with no clear company identification and suspicious behaviour such as hanging up when questioned. The scam has targeted vulnerable individuals, including pensioners, with callers sometimes providing incorrect personal details or local addresses to appear legitimate. Blocking numbers has limited effect, as fraudsters frequently use varied or spoofed numbers. Victims are strongly advised not to share personal or banking information and to report all such calls to the police fraud database or via the UK’s Action Fraud website for investigation and potential crackdown.

I got a call from someone who had an Indian accent, saying something about a washing machine warranty refund. At one point, they even read my address back to me. I told them to get a supervisor who wanted my account info, but whenever I tried to ask anything, they just pretended not to understand. I told them to send me the info in writing instead, and then they just cut the call. Proper dodgy.

Today, Sunday 3/4/22 at around 12:08pm I got a call from 01615201961. The man, who said his name was Derik, tried telling me my washing machine insurance had expired. I told him I don’t even own a washing machine and said it was pretty cheeky to call so late on a Sunday. Then I just hung up. Definitely another scam attempt.

A few posts popped up here yesterday, about three pages before this one, explaining what you need to do to block these scams. It won’t be fixed overnight, but nothing will change if we just ignore it. These scammers, often from abroad, are raking it in because nobody seems bothered enough to act.

I recently received a rather peculiar call on a Sunday morning around half eleven - it was a lady named Bella from something called the Refund Department. The background noise was absolutely chaotic, which struck me as rather strange for that time of day. I decided it best to end the call. Fortunately, I took a moment to look up the number here. Glad I did!

04/03/22: Got a woman on the line calling herself Sarah, saying I could claim back money on a washing machine warranty. I told her if she had my info she could just sort the refund. I also mentioned another caller rang yesterday from 02045204762 about the same warranty refund, and made it clear no way was I giving out my bank details. Then, Sarah just hung up on me, very rude.

I had a rather odd encounter with a lady of Asian descent who claimed that Homeserve was supposed to refund me £119. When I suggested they simply post me a cheque, she insisted on needing my bank details instead. Naturally, I wasn’t comfortable with that and told her just to send it in the post. At that point, the call abruptly ended. Quite the strange situation, if you ask me!

I’ve commented a couple of times suggesting what we can all do to put a stop to these overseas scammers stealing from vulnerable folks and pestering the rest of us. It’s a bit of a task, but I’ve made it a habit to report scam calls and texts to the police database (I keep the site bookmarked for easy access). Sadly, it’ll need thousands of us filing these reports before we see any real change, but loads of people use this site daily to do just that. My MP did reply, which was quite interesting, but again, one voice isn’t nearly enough to trigger action.

Got a call from this number, some bloke claiming he was from London. He told me I was due £119 back because of a mix-up with a warranty on my washing machine. Then he started asking for my account info so he could ‘refund’ me. I didn’t give anything away, and he said he wasn’t after my bank details, but then asked for my customer reference number, which apparently is at the bottom of my cheque book. Complete rubbish, but I can see how older or less savvy people might fall for this kind of dodgy call.

This is a classic scam from the past. They’ll request your credit card details to supposedly process a payment of £119, but beware! Once you share your info, it’s your bank balance they’ll be after, not your refund. I’ve heard a sad tale of a woman with dementia whose mother fell victim to this very kind of phone trickery.

They've rung me a few times now about the washing machine insurance, claiming we paid £119 too much. I asked them four times what company they were from but still couldn’t catch the name. When I wanted a refund by cheque, they said no because of some “safeguarding” rules and asked for my bank details instead. Then I said just put it back on the card I originally used, which is the usual way refunds work. They said that wasn’t possible and asked for details of another card. I lost it, swore at them, and hung up. Next day, they called again with the same story - I left them on hold for a good 15 minutes before ending the call. Total scam.

I got a call where the person said I’d paid £181 too much and asked how I wanted to get it back. They called me by my name straight away. When I asked what account it was about, they rattled off some numbers that meant nothing to me. They also knew my address already, so I told them to just send a cheque in the post. Then they asked for my cheque book numbers, but I told them I don’t even have one. Next, they wanted me to dig out a bank statement. I kept asking what I'd supposedly overpaid, and they said it was something to do with a washing machine warranty. I laughed and then they just hung up on me. I don’t even have a warranty for a washing machine.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from a famous company, saying we’d paid too much on our washing machine warranty and that they owed us a refund. They asked for sort code and account info to send the money back, but when I asked if they could just post a cheque instead, they refused. The call kept bouncing between a man and a woman, each trying to reassure me it was safe to share the details. I kept insisting on some paperwork first, but they just kept pushing for bank details, saying no card info would be needed. When I resisted, they said if I didn’t provide it, I’d never get the refund. Then, abruptly, the call ended. They sounded very determined and believable, but honestly, I wouldn’t trust them for a second!
