01615201966 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01615201966 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam targeting individuals who post ads on Gumtree, typically involving calls from a person with a strong South Asian accent claiming the recipient has been involved in a recent minor car accident. Callers demand personal details related to supposed accidents for insurance compensation purposes, despite victims often having no vehicle or involvement in any incident. The scam appears to use automated scraping of online adverts to source numbers and employs repeated calls, sometimes multiple within minutes. Recipients are advised not to engage, not to provide any information, and to block the number immediately. These calls have been widely identified as fraudulent with no legitimate organisation backing them, often involving attempts to pass the individual to other so-called “compensation” operators.

They'll ring up say you've been in a crash, then just drop the call. Best to block them straight away.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent, saying he was ringing about a small car crash I’d supposedly been in. When I asked him for the date of the accident, he couldn’t give me a clear answer and just kept going on about ‘a minor car accident you’ve had’. I played along for a few minutes then told him straight I don’t own a car and haven’t had any accidents, so he was a total scammer. He hung up quick smart. Same as others have said, this happened just moments after I posted an ad on Gumtree. They must be watching new ads on there closely.

Got a call right after I posted a Gumtree ad. They said something about an accident claim, but it just seemed dodgy. The person had a really strong Asian accent, so it was hard to catch what they were saying. As soon as I told them I hadn’t had any accidents, they hung up sharpish.

I didn't pick up when my phone rang, but I noticed loads of posts about Gumtree in the comments here. Right after my ad went up, I got two calls in under ten minutes that I ignored, then just looked up the number instead.

I put my number up on Gumtree and barely had a chance to post the ad before calls started flooding in... Happens every single time I try to sell something there! Didn’t bother picking up, it’s mad how some people just waste their days pestering others like that.

Classic accident payout scam as always. Some bloke with a thick accent rings you up and says he'll connect you to someone who’ll handle your compensation claim. This call came almost straight after I’d just put up an advert on Gumtree.

They keep ringing me up, claiming someone I know has crashed their car. But whenever I ask what proof they've got since they’re the ones making the call, they just go quiet and end the call. Proper annoying!

Got a call today at 11:51am from 08001026483, a woman with struggled English saying it was about an accident I supposedly had. I told her straight away to stop calling as I’ve never been in any accident. As soon as I hung up, I got another call at the exact same time from 01615201966, a man with equally bad English repeating the same story. I told him to take me off their list and then blocked both numbers. This sort of cold calling is so annoying, can’t someone put a stop to it?

I put an ad up on Gumtree and got hit up by the usual accident insurance scam again. Why do all these dodgy calls seem to come from Manchester numbers linked to stuff on Gumtree? It's getting annoying.

JUST BLOCK them. These scammers use some kind of bot that scans sites like Facebook, Gumtree, or eBay for phone numbers people post. As soon as your number shows up, their call centre in India gets the info and starts ringing you up with fake car accident stories and other scams. They tend to ring 3 times fast, often from various numbers that look like UK ones but definitely aren’t. If you get a call within minutes of putting your number online, don’t pick up - just BLOCK straight away!

Looks like they're pulling numbers straight off Gumtree. It's some kinda car accident phishing con, asking for 'search/clearance' payments. Proper nasty scam, those lot.

I've been receiving calls from this number continuously, and they keep probing about a small car accident I supposedly had, claiming they wish to offer me compensation. The trouble is, I don’t even possess a car! It's utterly baffling!

This bloke rang me up one time and I said I've got four people driving and not to ring again. Then, just five minutes later, he calls right back. I told him to stop wasting his time and to find some proper work. He hung up straight away. Complete idiot. On a serious note though, this is definitely a scam.

I got a call about some car crash I supposedly was involved in. Didn’t say a word, just ended the call straight away. Same thing happened to me right after I put up a Gumtree ad. Seems like that’s how they’re picking up phone numbers.

This bloke started off with "hello, I’m calling from the road traffic office... how’s your health today, are you good?". I asked myself, what’s the road traffic office even about and why do they care if I’m alright? Total scammer nonsense. Best thing is to hang up straight away. Actually, just ignore the call completely.

Got a call from someone who claimed I’d been in an accident sometime in the past couple of years. He said he was from a firm called “Road to Recovery” and wanted me to give some info. I asked for their company registration number and then he just cut the call. This happened on 3 March 2022 at about 3:43pm. It came straight after I put up an ad on Gumtree.

They called up saying something about a "minor accident you had," so I told them straight away that I’m not the one handling accident reports, I’m the fraud guy. Needless to say, they just hung up on me. Funny, isn’t it?

So this number rang me up saying they were from Aviva insurance, talking about an accident I was supposedly in. The voice had an accent that kind of reminded me of what you hear from India or Pakistan, but I’m not 100% sure. They kept trying to get me to share details like if I’d had a car crash or some injury. I wasn’t having it, so I’ve blocked the number now to stop any more calls from them.

Somebody rang me up claiming I’d been in some kind of crash and all this nonsense. Complete load of rubbish, total con. I’m only 16, no idea how they even got hold of my number.

The person who rang me was incredibly pushy and quite full of themselves, to say the least. They claimed to have all my details right before them and insisted on discussing a car crash from three months back. The ridiculous part? I don’t even own a car! Honestly, some people just need to get their act together and focus on something more productive!

Typical situation, they said something like, "You’ve been involved in an unspecified accident, and we want to discuss compensation." I kept them chatting for about ten minutes just to waste their time, but then I had to get off the phone. It’s usually two people working the scam together, and honestly, they’re not very convincing. At one point, they pretended to be from my local council, thinking that would get me to engage. When I flat out told them to buzz off in Hindi, they instantly hung up. Looks like they’re scraping numbers from Gumtree listings.

SCAM ALERT - A bloke rang me saying they had proof I’d been in an accident recently and could file a claim. I told him I hadn’t been in any accident for like 15 years, but he insisted their records showed otherwise. When I asked what exactly those records said, he claimed data protection rules stopped him from telling me. That’s when I told him I reckoned it was a scam and just ended the call.
