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 told them to send me the info in writing instead, and then they just cut the call. Proper dodgy.4 yearsNot sure at the moment.4 yearsIts pretty clear these scammers havent got a clue about places in the UK, theres a call from a Manchester number but the person on the phone is in Central London which is like 200 miles apart!

Definitely trying to get my bank info for some phishing scam.4 yearsGot a call on my landline in Edinburgh from 01615201961. Don't know who it was. These days, I just let the phone ring out and then see who called. Being an older person and not feeling great, I really don’t want any scam calls. It’s just a waste of my time and feels quite threatening!Edinburgh4 yearsA 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.4 yearsReceived a call from 01615201961. Just a heads-up, they instruct you to press 1 if you're not keen on receiving any more calls from them. Exercise caution!4 yearsI got a call about some washing machine insurance deal. It felt pretty dodgy and honestly, kind of intimidating. Sounds like a complete rip-off to me.4 yearsI got a call from a guy with a foreign accent. He asked if I was Mrs something, but I couldn’t quite catch the name. I was a bit blunt with him, and then he just hung up. Totally a scam, I reckon.4 yearsNot sure who that was, ended up just hanging up.4 yearsI got a call on Sunday morning from someone saying they’d charged me twice for my washing machine insurance. As soon as I started explaining I don’t even have a warranty on my machine, they just cut the call.4 yearsGot a call on Sunday morning from someone claiming I was due a refund of £119 and asking for my bank details. The day before I’d already had a ring from 02045204762 which turned out to be the same scam. Quite annoying!4 yearsGot a call, but the person hung up before I could get any info. Seems like one of those dodgy scam calls to me.4 yearsJust got a phone call again, this time some dodgy lot trying to sell me a washing machine warranty. Don’t fall for it!4 yearsI 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!BellaRefund Department4 yearsBEWARE: Got a call from someone saying I was due a refund on a washing machine warranty. They asked for my full bank details to “send” the money, but it sounded dodgy to me. Never give out your account info like that!BEWARE OF SCAMMERS4 yearsGot a call from 01615201961 on my landline here in Edinburgh. Don’t recognise the number at all. These days, I just let the phone ring out and then look up the number afterwards. I’m a sick pensioner, so I really don’t want to deal with any scams. It’s such a waste of time and really annoying! Feels almost threatening sometimes!Edinburgh4 years04/03/22: 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.Sarah4 yearsThe person on the line asked who was speaking, then just disconnected without saying anything else.4 yearsGot a call from Stated Home Care about washing machine insurance. They were asking for my bank’s IBN number.Home Care4 yearsGot a call on Saturday from someone saying I could get £119 back on insurance, all they asked for was my bank info. They rang again Sunday morning too! Totally a scam, no way I’m giving out my details.4 yearsThis is total spam and just a scam. Honestly, everyone should contact their MP and push for the government to crack down on these annoying calls once and for all.4 yearsGot a call from 0161 520 1961 about a £119 refund for an appliance warranty. They kept insisting I provide my bank info, but I told them to just send a cheque instead. They said that wasn’t possible, so I just ended the call. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.4 yearsThey keep ringing me up looking for a Mr or Mrs Henderson, but we've never had anyone by that name at this address!Henderson4 yearsI got a call from someone named 'Jacob', claiming I was due a £119 refund for a washing machine I never bought. When I told him I didn't own one, he ended the call straight away. These kinds of scam calls have been coming from different numbers every day lately.Jacob4 yearsGot a call from 01615201961 about a refund for a washing machine warranty I never bought. I’d already dealt with a similar scammy call on an 020 number which I blocked ages ago. Looks like they’ve just switched numbers to try again. Pure scam, definitely avoid these #### types.4 yearsI just got a call saying I’m owed £119 for a washing machine refund, but then they asked me for my bank ID details. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.4 yearsThey said they were from some kind of warranty company but wouldn’t say which one. Kept going on about me having paid £119 too much for my washing machine warranty. Didn’t hang about, just ended the call!4 yearsI 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!Homeserve4 yearsI was charged £119 for something and now I’m trying to get my money back. Just hoping they sort this refund soon.4 yearsGot a call from 01615201961 earlier today (03/04/22). It went straight to my voicemail and then cut off without anyone saying anything or leaving a message. It felt dodgy, probably a sales pitch or some kind of scam. Definitely a sketchy number if you ask me.4 yearsGot a call from an overseas call centre saying I was owed a refund. Total con!4 yearsYesterday and again this morning around 8:55, I got a call about some refund for washing machine insurance. Sounded like a total scam to me.4 yearsAs soon as they spoke, I just hung up and now their number is blocked.4 yearsGot a call saying I was due a refund, but as soon as I asked for more details, they just ended the call on me. Definitely felt a bit dodgy!4 yearsI got a refund for my washing machine warranty, but they got pretty annoyed when I tried to clarify the model of my machine.4 yearsLooks like a refund scam to me. Watch out, they tryin to trick you!4 yearsThe phone rings and when you pick up, dead silence - no one there at all.4 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady, there was a lot of noise behind her. She asked me my name and then just ended the call. Honestly, wouldn't mind if they faced some rough patches soon!4 yearsGot a call at 12:41 but didn’t know the number so just let it go to voicemail. Nobody left a message though. Sounds like just another one of those scam calls people keep talking about.4 yearsThis number is definitely trying to pull a refund scam on people.4 yearsThat number isn’t saved in my contacts. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.4 yearsGot a call from someone without giving a name, sounded like not from the UK. They claimed I was due a refund for washing machine insurance from ages ago, like 2015. Sounded just like those Virgin Media tech or Microsoft scam calls. I told them to put the money back since they already took it off my account, then the line just went dead on me.Virgin MediaMicrosoft4 yearsThey called saying I was owed a refund, so I asked them to send a cheque by mail, and then they suddenly just ended the call.4 yearsI got a call from 01615201961 about some refund for my washing machine service fee. The woman on the line had a foreign accent and asked me for my service reference number. When I told her I didn’t have it handy, she just ended the call abruptly.4 yearsGot a call about a warranty saying I paid too much. When I asked which machine it was for, she said it didn’t matter because it covered all machines. Then she asked for my bank info so I just ended the call. Definitely a scam.4 yearsGot a call late on a Sunday from some dodgy geezer, sounded like it was his first day doing the scam thing. He was rattling on about giving me £119 back for my washing machine warranty or whatever. I just told him to find a real job and quit helping out scammers. Proper waste of time.4 yearsI got a call from someone named 'Jacob' claiming I overpaid £119 for a washing machine and owed me a refund. As soon as I said I don't own one, he just hung up on me. This scam keeps popping up with different phone numbers every day now.Jacob4 yearsI received a call this morning from someone who spoke with an Indian accent, claiming to be from Home Care. He mentioned my name and informed me that I had supposedly overpaid £191 on my recent washing machine purchase. This has raised my suspicions. Do you think I ought to inform the authorities about this? The call took place on the 3rd of April at around 9:20 am.Home Care4 yearsI found myself in a similar situation to a few others who've expressed their grievances on this site. Apparently, I was due a refund of £119 for an overcharged insurance payment. However, when I asked for clarification regarding a certain number on a cheque, it left me utterly confused. Like many, I lost my cool and insisted on receiving a cheque immediately. They abruptly ended the call. What’s more, unlike your typical scammers, this lot have the audacity to allow you to call back, but my attempts went in vain. Upon implying that this might be a scam, the lass on the other end just hung up on me. Quite infuriating, to say the least!4 yearsThey completely ignored me when I tried to have a word with them. It’s high time someone put an end to this nonsense!4 yearsI was looking into purchasing some coverage for my appliances. However, the representative became quite unpleasant when I declined the offer.4 yearsI’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.4 yearsThis number's been a right pain constantly ringing me!4 yearsThey called me saying I was owed £119 back for overpaying on a washing machine I supposedly bought years ago, like 2015, a Hoover one or something. Yeah right, I’m not gonna hand over my bank info just like that! No chance, cheers anyway!Hoover4 yearsSome bloke was proper threatening me. But if he’s meant to be in Manchester, why did he claim he was in Central London? Really strange.ManchesterCentral London4 yearsJust received a rather suspicious call from a woman of Asian descent claiming I was due a £119 refund for some sort of overpayment on a washing machine insurance policy. I mentioned that I’ve never taken out any insurance like that, and suddenly the phone call was over - she just cut off! Quite dodgy if you ask me.4 yearsGot 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.London4 yearsGot a call on a Saturday morning at about 8:30, just woke me up - proper annoying!4 yearsCalled me way too early, so I didn’t pick up. They hung up without even leaving any voicemail, so I’m guessing it’s just another annoying scam caller… argh!4 yearsGot a call from a woman who asked me to verify my info before she went on. I refused to share anything, and then she started getting rude.4 yearsGot a call from 01615201961 about a £19 refund on my washing machine insurance. The woman on the line didn’t mention which insurance firm she was with, which raised alarm bells. Sounded dodgy, so I’ve blocked the number now. Definitely a scam in my book.4 yearsAnswered the call but there was silence at the other end, then they just disconnected.4 yearsDon't trust those scam calls, they're all fake.4 yearsThis 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.4 yearsGot a call saying they were gonna refund me for some washing machine warranty I'd never even signed up for. Sounded dodgy to me, so I just cut the call short. Definitely felt like a scam.4 yearsSomeone called me and actually knew my name, which threw me off. Then she started saying I was owed a £119 refund or something like that. I didn’t trust it, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away. After checking reviews here, it’s clear it was a total scam!4 yearsI rarely get calls on my landline and certainly not at the crack of dawn, so I just ignore these early morning numbers. It’s so annoying to be jolted awake by random phone calls.4 yearsGot a call about some sort of 'homecare package' refund, which sounded dodgy since I've never signed up for anything like that. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it!4 yearsThey rang up and asked for me specifically, but when I asked who it was, they just cut off. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me.4 yearsGot a call from this number about 10:20 this morning. I picked up but they ended the call right away. Nothing was said at all.4 yearsIt appears that they're suggesting a reimbursement for an item we've never actually bought. Quite the puzzling situation!4 yearsI received a phone call from a chap who appeared to know my name and asserted that I was due a refund for a washing machine. He mentioned an address that I recognised, but it wasn’t mine. As soon as I probed further about the supposed refund and told him that I didn’t even own a washing machine, he abruptly said goodbye and ended the call. These individuals could pose a risk. They definitely need to be looked into by the authorities and put a stop to!4 yearsI had a rather peculiar phone call from someone claiming they were issuing me a refund for an overpayment on a washing machine guarantee. They insisted on needing my bank information to facilitate the process. Quite frankly, since I don’t even possess a warranty for any washing machine, there was absolutely no chance I’d be sharing any banking details with them!4 yearsI've had multiple calls from them now. It turns out we've been short-changed by £119 on our washing machine insurance. I requested the company's name four times, but I still couldn't catch it. When I asked for my refund to be processed via cheque, they told me it was impossible due to some "safeguarding" nonsense and asked if I could provide my bank account details. I suggested issuing the refund back to the card I originally used, which is standard practice for refunds. They couldn’t do that and instead asked for details of a different card. At that point, I lost my temper and hung up. The following day, they called again with the same spiel. I kept them on the line for about 15 minutes before they ended the call themselves. It absolutely reeks of a scam!4 yearsThis number 0161 520 1961 has called me twice lately, but both times as I picked up, the person on the other end just ended the call straight away.4 yearsSo dull! I picked up the phone and there was no one there, just silence. These firms must be able to purchase our info, like names and numbers, maybe even our ages. I'm convinced they go after older folks like pensioners, probably assuming we're easy to fool!4 yearsSomebody called saying I’d paid too much for my washing machine warranty - £119, apparently. They said they were going to give me a refund!4 yearsGot a call about supposedly giving me a refund for paying too much on a washing machine. When I asked them who it was that they said paid originally, they couldn’t give an answer and just ended the call. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.4 yearsSomebody called me saying they were from an energy rebate company and asked specifically for my mum by her name. When I phoned back from another number, it turned out to be TPS Services instead. Bit fishy if you ask me.TPS Services4 yearsI received a call from someone who mentioned my name and claimed that I was owed a refund of £181 due to an overpayment. Naturally, I inquired which account this was related to, but the four-digit figure she provided meant absolutely nothing to me. To my astonishment, she had already acquired my address, so I suggested she simply send me a cheque. However, she then requested various details from my cheque book-an impossibility, as I don’t even possess one! Next, she persisted in asking me to dig out information from my bank statement, which I found rather odd. When I pressed her for specifics about this alleged overpayment, she mentioned something about a washing machine warranty, then inexplicably burst into laughter and hung up. It's worth noting that I do not own a washing machine warranty at all!4 yearsI received a call from someone who claimed to represent a reputable company, insisting that I had overpaid on my washing machine warranty and that I was due a refund. They pressed for my sort code and account number, but when I requested a cheque instead, they flatly refused. The caller was changed from a woman to a man, both of whom assured me that it was completely safe to provide my bank details. Despite my repeated requests for documentation to back up their claims, they dodged my questions; I even asked for the name of the bank but was just met with the same insistence that sharing my details wouldn’t be a problem since they wouldn’t ask for card information. Ultimately, they threatened that I'd miss out on my refund unless I complied, and the call ended abruptly. They were quite pushy and surprisingly persuasive, but I wouldn't trust a word they said!Submit Your Own Report (0161 520 1961)
