Phone number ☎️ 01615202971 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from a Manchester number frequently associated with calls about property, specifically driveways, and false claims linked to government regulations or care fees. Callers often use manipulative tactics, including scare tactics targeting elderly recipients, silent calls, or pressing for "yes" answers to use in potential fraud. Many report the number as harassing, with callers refusing to properly identify themselves and frequently hanging up abruptly. Despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service, complaints reveal little effective intervention, and the calls are widely regarded as intrusive and deceptive. Users are advised not to engage, block the number, and remain cautious of unsolicited calls claiming government affiliation or pressing on personal property matters.
Reports on phone number 01615202971
2 yearsSuch a daft scam, it's clear as day. The TPS is a proper joke, honestly, when you try to report calls they just come up with some rubbish about not being able to help. Loads of times they say my number isn’t even on their list, which makes no sense.Preference Service2 yearsI just got a call from a number in Manchester, 0161 884 3611, and it seems like it’s linked to another caller from the same area. Neither of these numbers should be known to each other or for them to be able to ring. They’re definitely not scammers though, more like clever agents working for MI5. Feels a bit like Big Brother is keeping tabs on us! Watching every move!Manchester2 yearsGot a call that was definitely a scam.2 yearsGot a call from 01615202971 earlier today. The guy on the line said his name was Sam and he wanted to talk about some Estate Planning stuff. Pretty sure it was a scam as we aren’t doing any estate planning right now. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Sam2 yearsI didn't pick up, they left no voicemail. From what I've read here, sounds like it might be a scam call.2 yearsThey called to check if I still had a driveway. I just told them my number’s on the TPS list and then ended the call.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from some bloke asking if I could hear him, I said yeah, but then he just went silent. After waiting a bit I just hung up. Total waste of time, and a bit odd since the number was from 0161, which is nowhere near me - I’m down here in Devon. Weird one...Devon2 yearsGot a call the other day, picked up and some bloke was yapping about our driveway. I just chuckled and told him we don’t got one, then I ended the call.2 yearsI got a call where the person asked if I could hear them, so I just said yes. Then they started talking about my driveway, which confused me 'cause I don’t actually have one. After that, there was silence for a bit before they finished with something like “if that’s your answer, fine!” I later found out online that there’s a scam where they record you saying yes and use it for some kind of fraud. Didn’t realise it was a trick until it was too late!2 yearsWhen they ask if I still got a driveway, I just end the call straight away.2 yearsSome company for driveways kept ringing me non stop, really frustrating.2 yearsSketchy phone call, exercise caution!2 yearsGot a silent caller ringing me around 4pm this afternoon, 14th February.2 yearsI received a call from this number, and the person on the line inquired about my driveway. I informed them that I didn't have one and promptly ended the conversation.2 yearsI've been receiving calls from the number 01615202971. Just thought I’d mention it!2 yearsGot a call from an 0161 number earlier that just went silent when my elderly folks answered. They figured it was maybe the hospital calling, but after reading loads on here, it’s clearly another scam. Such a nuisance, really.2 yearsSCAM - Some bloke rang claiming to be John from the driveway centre, saying "I hear you’ve got a driveway". I told him he was completely wrong and warned that calls on this number are recorded for legal reasons. Oddly, he just hung up straight away! I've blocked the number now.FRAUD ALERTJohnDriveway Centre2 yearsOdd phone call. A well-mannered bloke with a proper English accent asking if we still had some kind of driveway at our place. He kept saying he understood if we weren't interested and apologised for disturbing me. I was trying to figure out who he was supposed to be calling, but he just kept going, no breaks, then suddenly ended the call.2 yearsNo sound on the other end, felt dodgy from the start.2 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise.2 yearsGot a really odd call from a Manchester number, but the bloke sounded like he was from down south. He said he was "John from the Driveway Centre" and asked if I had a driveway. I replied I'd never heard of that place, and he got a bit sarcastic, then said something like “Sorry to disturb you, totally get your decision, have a nice day,” and just hung up. Definitely felt fake and sketchy. Best to just ignore calls like this.ManchesterJohnDriveway Centre3 yearsSome bloke rang me talking about new government regulations or something, but I didn't stick around to hear what it was all about since I didn't know the number. I just ended the call straight away!3 yearsCaller claimed there were fines tied to some govt housing scheme, which I knew was rubbish. I just muted my phone and waited for the call to drop, making the whole scam pointless and messing with their costs. It’s a good way to disrupt how these phone scammers run their scam business.3 yearsI picked up the phone and after about 12 seconds, a robotic lady's voice said "goodbye" and then the call was cut off.3 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Seeing all the other reviews, I’m guessing it’s just another annoying one and probably will keep ringing. Marked it as Harassment because of the stuff people have said before.3 yearsGot a call from this number but no one spoke on the other end. Have since blocked it.3 yearsI just let it ring through, but no voicemail left or anything! How is the TPS not stopping this nonsense?TPS3 yearsI missed a call from 01615202971 but they didn’t bother to leave any voicemail or message.3 yearsGot a call, no one said a word and they didn’t leave a message. Just went ahead and blocked the number.3 yearsGot a call out of the blue about some government scheme where they force you to sell your house to cover care costs. Signed up to the TPS but still got stuck with this annoying call.Telephone Preference ServiceTPS3 yearsHe talked well but it was clearly a sneaky scam. They were just trying to scare elderly folks about maybe having to sell their home to pay for care fees. Proper shameful behaviour.3 yearsJust got a call from this number and I let out a massive whistle right into the handset. The bloke said his name was Adam. As soon as I did that, he hung up on me! I swear the TPS is useless because these scammy callers are nonstop. The number was 01615202971.AdamTelephone Preference Service3 yearsGot a ring from this number recently. Surely pretending to be from some government office is illegal? These folks are nothing but leeches, they really deserve to be tracked down, prosecuted properly, and locked up! That’s my little rant done!3 yearsI rang the number but didn't pick up since I didn’t know who it was.Submit Your Own Report (0161 520 2971)
