01615298828 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01615298828 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance originating from apparent call centres, often with Indian accents, using various Manchester-based numbers. Callers typically claim to represent survey companies, price comparison sites, debt agencies, or banks but are widely suspected to be scams. Common tactics include referencing fake surveys, promising vouchers or prizes, requesting personal details, or employing aggressive and confusing sales pitches. Many recipients report calls with no clear message, rapid or unclear speech, and frequent repeated calls from similar numbers that evade blocking by altering digits. Users strongly advise against answering, sharing information, or engaging; instead recommending prompt blocking and reporting. Authorities have yet to effectively curb these calls, leaving many feeling harassed and frustrated.

A woman with an Indian accent, along with a bunch of others speaking the same way, rang me from what sounded like an Indian call centre. She said she was from PC World and kept asking what kind of smartphone I was using. I just ended the call straight away and blocked the number.

Had trouble catching what they were saying, spoke way too quick with an Aussie accent. They kept going on about surveys, vouchers, and something to do with land estates. Bit odd if you ask me. Just ended up hanging up on them.

The number 01615298828 rings me a couple of times every week. Here's how I handle annoying calls: my answerphone says, if you’re a proper caller, please leave a message and I’ll get back to you. But if you don’t leave one, I just assume you’re some sort of dodgy scammer and won’t bother answering. Honestly, you’re the one wasting your own time.

Havent a clue who that was since I didnt pick up. Got a call a few hours later from 01615298850, probably the same lot of scammers so I just ignored it again. Hopefully theyll give it up and stop calling. Anyone legit would most likely leave a voicemail after ringing twice without an answer. Guess I’ll wait and see what happens tomorrow.
