01615202971 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

Such 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.

I 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!

Got 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.

I didn't pick up, they left no voicemail. From what I've read here, sounds like it might be a scam call.

I received a call inquiring whether I still had a driveway. I informed them that my number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service and promptly ended the conversation.

I got a call earlier today from a bloke who asked if I could hear him. I answered in the affirmative, but then he just went silent. I decided to hang up after that. Seems like a total waste of time or perhaps just a dodgy call, considering 0161 is quite a distance from where I am down in Devon. What a bother!

Received a call earlier and picked up only to hear a bloke rambling on about our driveway. Couldn’t help but chuckle and informed him that we don’t actually have one, then promptly ended the call.

I encountered a similar situation! The caller inquired if I could hear him, to which I replied in the affirmative. He then started rambling about my driveway, which bewildered me as I don't own one. After a bit of a lull in the conversation, he wrapped it up with a rather nonchalant "if that’s what you want, fine!" Upon doing a bit of research, I stumbled upon a disturbing trend where scammers pose questions that prompt a "yes" response, which they apparently record for dubious purposes. I only clocked on to this after I'd unwittingly said "yes"!

Got 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.

SCAM - 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.

Odd 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.

Got 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.

I received a call from someone who referenced some new government guidelines, but as soon as I realised I didn’t recognise the number, I didn’t let him elaborate and simply ended the call. Better safe than sorry, I thought!

There are quite a few misleading claims swirling around about government policies pertaining to fines linked to housing issues. I simply silenced my phone and let it ring until the call disconnected, effectively neutralising those pesky calls. This approach not only frustrates the scammers but also disrupts their operational expenses in a rather clever way.

I picked up the phone and was connected for a mere twelve seconds when a synthetic female voice piped up with a curt "goodbye." And just like that, the call was terminated.

He 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.

Got 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!
