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.

4 yearsThis number, 01615201966, has been ringing me non-stop, like four times in just a couple hours. It's getting a bit much!4 yearsJust got a call from some bloke pretending a family member had an accident. Total scam, don’t fall for it!4 yearsThey'll ring up say you've been in a crash, then just drop the call. Best to block them straight away.4 yearsGot 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.ManchesterGumtree4 yearsReceived a call shortly after I posted an ad on Gumtree. It was about some sort of accident claim nonsense. The fellow on the other end had a rather thick Asian accent, making it tricky for me to catch what he was saying. The moment I mentioned that I hadn’t been in any accidents, he promptly hung up!Gumtree4 yearsI 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.Gumtree4 yearsPosted something on Gumtree and got the same problem. Within 5 minutes, I had three calls from someone who was really rude.Gumtree4 yearsI 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.Gumtree4 yearsI didn’t pick up the call, but ever since I shared my number in a Gumtree advertisement, it’s been called twice. Quite peculiar, isn't it?Gumtree4 yearsTwice in less than half an hour I got calls about some supposed car crash. Guess what, I had just put an ad up on Gumtree again.Gumtree4 yearsHonestly, it’s the typical accident claims con. Some bloke with a thick accent called me, promising to connect me to a proper advisor to handle my claim. He rang barely moments after I put up an ad on Gumtree.Gumtree4 yearsThey 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!4 yearsReceived a couple of rather dodgy phone calls today that left me quite frustrated. The first one came in from 08001026483 at 11.51 am. A woman on the line, her grasp of English was shockingly poor, started rambling on about some ‘accident I supposedly had recently.’ I firmly told her to pipe down as I’ve had no such mishap! As soon as I hung up, wouldn't you know it, my phone rang again from 01615201966-also at 11.51 am! This time it was a bloke, equally hard to understand, blathering on about the same accident nonsense. I firmly requested he take my details out of their records and terminated the call, blocking both numbers immediately. Is there really nothing that can be done to tackle this incessant cold calling?4 yearsI 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.GumtreeManchester4 yearsI can't seem to shake these persistent callers. They just won't take the hint and keep ringing me!4 yearsI had a similar experience, came across an advert on Gumtree.Gumtree4 yearsThey just won’t quit ringing my phone!4 yearsDefinitely a scam, don’t trust this number.4 yearsDodgy accident claims con! They rang me right after I listed my number on Gumtree... and get this, I don’t even own a vehicle! What a cheek!4 yearsJUST 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!AVOID4 yearsIt appears they’re trawling Gumtree for contact details. It's all part of a dodgy car accident phishing scheme, trying to bait folks with talk of 'clearance/search fees'. Absolute lowlifes, if you ask me.Gumtree4 yearsI put up an ad on Gumtree and less than half an hour later I got a call from this dodgy number. Best just block it straight away.Gumtree4 yearsI'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!4 yearsThis 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.4 yearsI just ignored the call since I have no one in Manchester that I know of.Manchester4 yearsDINGDING PUTTPUTT4 yearsYet another bunch of bloody spammers, told em to shove it where the sun don't shine!4 yearsReceived a call regarding a supposed car crash that I was allegedly involved in. I terminated the conversation without any response. Like numerous others, I noticed this call came shortly after I advertised something on Gumtree. It seems quite likely that he is collecting phone numbers from there.Gumtree4 yearsGot a call from this number earlier but when I picked up, it was dead silent. Tried calling them back but the call wouldn’t go through. Best to ignore this one, seems dodgy!4 yearsA chap initiated the conversation with, "Good day, I'm from the road traffic authority. How are you feeling today?" Now, I ask you, what in the world is the 'road traffic authority', and why on earth would they be interested in my wellbeing? Clearly, a dodgy scammer at work. Honestly, just hang up and if you can, avoid answering altogether.4 yearsI received a call regarding a supposed accident claim just moments after I shared my phone number on Gumtree. Seems pretty dodgy to me-bet it’s a scam!Gumtree4 yearsI received a phone call from someone claiming to represent a firm named "Road to Recovery." They insisted I’d been involved in an accident over the last two years and were keen to obtain more information from me. When I requested their company registration number for verification, the caller abruptly ended the conversation. This occurred on 3rd March 2022 at around 3:43 PM, just moments after I had posted an advertisement on Gumtree. Curious timing, I must say!Road to RecoveryGumtree4 yearsThey 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?4 yearsReceived a call regarding a small incident, but I can assure you I've not been involved in any such mishap.4 yearsI keep getting calls from someone who seems quite insistent on knowing about my social media profiles. It's rather concerning, to say the least!4 yearsBeen getting loads of calls non-stop from someone asking about a "recent accident" I supposedly had. They've rung me more than ten times now, trying to get details about my social media profiles and that sort of stuff. It's really starting to get on my nerves.4 yearsI got a call from someone saying “it’s about the accident you had, sir.” I told them that I actually died in the accident so anyone else would be sorting it out, then they just dropped the call.4 yearsThis number has called me a few times recently, but every time I pick up all I get is silence.4 yearsSo 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.Aviva InsuranceIndiaPakistan4 yearsReceived a call earlier claiming I’d been involved in an accident-what a load of nonsense! Complete scam, if you ask me. I’m only 16, so I've no clue how they managed to get my number.4 yearsThe 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!4 yearsJust another typical encounter, really. "You've experienced a rather vague mishap; we're here to discuss potential compensation," they chirped. I managed to string them along for a full ten minutes, buying some time so they wouldn't pester others, but alas, I had to let them go. It was the classic two-person con, and they didn't excel at it, to be honest. They had the cheek to pose as my local council when they thought that would be more convincing. In the end, I told them to naff off in Hindi, and they promptly hung up. Seems they're fishing for numbers off Gumtree, no doubt about it.Gumtree5 yearsFRAUDULENT CALL - A chap rang me up claiming they had information about an accident I supposedly had within the past two years and that I could file a claim. I informed him that I haven’t had any accidents in the last fifteen years, but he insisted my records indicated otherwise. When I pressed him for the specifics of what those records stated, he replied that data protection laws prohibited him from disclosing that information. At that point, I was convinced he was trying to pull a fast one and promptly ended the call.FRAUDULENT CALLSubmit Your Own Report (0161 520 1966)
