Phone number ☎️ 01616690598 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation primarily targeting people under the guise of utility commissions and housing disrepair teams, often claiming association with legitimate Manchester-based companies. Callers typically sound foreign, frequently with an Indian accent, and use multiple similar phone numbers to avoid blocking. They employ pressurised tactics to extract personal information or persuade recipients to click suspicious links. Victims commonly report hang-ups when questioned, recorded messages on answering, and a reluctance to provide verifiable company details. The calls have no genuine connection to actual utility or housing services, and recipients are advised to avoid engagement, block numbers, and remain vigilant against potential fraud attempts.

1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were with the Housing Disrepair department in Manchester, but you could tell right away they were actually overseas. Definitely a dodgy scam.Housing DisrepairManchester3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from housing repair. I told her I own my own place, so I knew straight away it was a scam. As soon as I said that, she just ended the call.3 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded Indian, claiming they needed to swap out a meter on the 7th of June. They told me to ring back on 020 8133 0093 to arrange it. Bit dodgy if you ask me.3 yearsThis was definitely a scam.3 yearsTotal scam, would not trust this number at all!3 yearsI tried to get the name of their main office, she said Manchester but when I asked which street she kinda got confused. I even asked how she got to work since she didn’t sound like she knew her location at all. Then she just hung up on me, definitely sounded like a dodgy company. I only wanted to know where she was calling from. I blocked the number but I doubt it’ll stop them, probably just gonna ring back with some other fake number.Manchester3 yearsI picked up the phone and an automated message told me I was the next in line to be connected. Since I hadn’t made any call to get a callback, I just ended the call. Fingers crossed they don’t bill me for that!3 yearsThis definitely comes across as a dodgy call to me.3 yearsGot a call from 01616690598, said they were from the Utility Commissions Dept. Told them there’s no such company here, and they kept insisting it’s a branch of a larger firm. I told them I had no details and then they just laughed at me. I ended up hanging up and blocking the number straight away.Utility Commissions Department3 yearssome bloke with an indian accent claimed he was calling from the utilities department and wanted my details. i told him to give me his phone number and i'd ring him back. then, he just cut off. bit funny really!3 yearsI got a call from what sounded like an Indian call centre, could hear people chatting in the background. The bloke said he was with the Utilities Department. I told him that’s a load of nonsense cos no such dept exists. Called him out as a scammer and ended the call. Then blocked the number, just to see they’re also using 0161 669 0643 and 0161 669 0640. Looks like they’ve snapped up a whole lot of numbers starting with 0161 669 06 to dodge all the blocks folks put on them.Utilities Department3 yearsI picked up the phone only to be greeted by a pre-recorded message saying, 'You are currently next in the queue for your call to be attended to.' It's quite amusing, really, as they were the ones who rang me! I promptly hung up.3 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent, saying he was from some official telecom firm or Offgen, trying to check if we were paying too much for our electricity.
