01616477996 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01616477996 👆 is reported as a persistent and highly intrusive scam caller, primarily targeting individuals with fake insurance renewal offers, often related to home and life insurance. Callers commonly use scripted approaches, sometimes addressing recipients by name, but frequently hang up abruptly when questioned or after confirming identity, suggesting phishing or fraud attempts. Blocking this number provides limited relief, as calls continue or shift to alternate numbers. They rarely leave messages, contributing to suspicion. The scams involve misleading claims of reviewing or renewing policies, with aggressive follow-ups despite refusals. Reported as originating from different locations and companies, including names like "iReview" or "The Vault," callers often display poor etiquette and disregard requests to cease contact. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, to block the number, and to report incidents to appropriate authorities for prevention and investigation.

This number has been bugging me nonstop for a couple of weeks now. Even though I don't pick up and have tried to block it, they just keep calling me over and over!

This was definitely a scam trying to sell insurance.

I've had some random number ring me loads of times but they never bother to leave any message. My phone's started warning me it's probably a scam, so I've just gone ahead and blocked it now.

Someone called me saying they were from some insurance company, but honestly I couldn't quite catch which one. When I said I wasn’t sure about my premiums, they just dropped the call straight away. No consideration for manners at all. This same number has called me before and just hung up as soon as I picked up. Feels very dodgy to me, not how a real business should act. I’m definitely labelling this number as ‘suspicious’.

I picked up once and it was some life insurance sales, so I blocked the number straight away. Even tho it’s blocked, my phone never rings but my call log still fills up with attempts, sometimes more than once a day for over a week now. Pretty annoying how it keeps trying even when I don't want anything to do with it.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be from i-review, and he even knew my name. When I told him I don’t want any marketing calls and to stop ringing me, he started arguing with me about it! It was about house insurance or something. Told him off good and proper, and now he’s on my block list.

I've gone ahead and blocked the number already.

I decided not to pick up because I felt it might be some sort of scam. After seeing what everyone else said here, I went ahead and blocked the number.

Absolutely cheeky!!! Next time, I reckon I’ll let him go on for a whole hour chatting about all the choices I might consider, then just cut him off. Might teach him a thing or two!

Got a message from some AI thing saying I should ring back this number for a place called "The Vault." Not sure what it’s about, a bit odd really.

They claimed it was just a yearly check-up on my life insurance. Totally false. I told them I didn't believe it and then just ended the call.

Got a text saying I have a voicemail but when I checked there was nothing but some background noise, no actual message. This number was already blocked on my phone so it never rang. How come they're still able to send voicemails if they’re blocked? I even saw this same number attempted to call me yesterday. Don’t pick up, it’s definitely a scam.

Someone called me up using my name and asked if I’d got my home insurance renewal notice already. I knew straight away it was dodgy since it isn’t due for ages. It’s so frustrating because these calls never seem to stop. I keep having to rush to answer the phone, but what’s worse is that some folks might fall for it and end up giving away private details. Why isn’t anything being done about these annoying scams?

For the past few days, this number keeps calling me daily. I’ve been ignoring it since I wasn’t waiting for any calls from Manchester. Pretty certain now it’s a scam, so I’ll definitely block it if they try again.

I got a call from a nice sounding young woman, who said she was calling about my home insurance. At first, I thought she was genuine. I usually let my husband handle insurance stuff, so I told her that. But then she began asking about how many bedrooms are in our house, and I gave her the info. I told her again I needed to check with my husband. Then she said she already had all my info and would mail me something. When she asked for my address, that's when I realised it was a scam.

They wanted to talk to me, but the call just ended right then.

Over the past couple of days, these **** keep ringing me up. When the most recent person called, I asked him how he could even sleep at night doing this, then told him to find a decent job. I think he started having a go at me, but I was already cutting the call off.

They keep ringing me every single day but I just don’t pick up, seems like a load of scammers to me.

Got a dodgy call from someone claiming to be from iRreview about my home insurance renewal. Told them I only bought the place three months back. They replied, "Must be your old address then, since we last spoke a few years ago, we wouldn't know you've moved," and then just cut me off. Thing is, this is my very first property, so no old address exists. Classic insurance scam, do yourself a favour and block the number if you get a call from it.

Got a call from this number today, it was a really polite young woman speaking English about my home insurance needing to be renewed. Luckily, mine isn’t due yet so I told her, and she said sorry and ended the call. Honestly, the way she spoke made it sound so legit, feels like these scammers are getting better at customer service or something!

They’ve been calling me almost daily, and even though I’ve blocked the number, I can still see the missed calls in my call history. When I picked up, they said it was about my life insurance, trying to confirm if it was still active. I told them I wasn’t interested and was happy with my current provider, but they kept pushing and trying to get me to answer more questions. Eventually, I just ended the call.

Got a call from someone named Allen about my home insurance, asking if it was for my home and confirming contact details. He said they were insurance brokers and could give me a better deal. I said no thanks and that I’d check online myself before hanging up. Nearly got me though, and I’m usually quite wary. Don’t know how they manage to gather all that info.
