Phone number ☎️ 01616695801 👆 is reported as a persistent and annoying scam call centre targeting elderly and vulnerable people, often offering expensive and questionable health supplements like turmeric, cinnamon, ginger root, and other extracts. Callers, sometimes using fake names such as Kelly Smith, Arthur, or Joshua, frequently ignore requests to stop and may keep calling multiple times a day. They claim to represent wellness or health centres and use misleading tactics, including false locations and vague health inquiries, to trick recipients. Several reports highlight distress caused to older relatives, including those with dementia or deceased persons. The calls are viewed as harassing, intrusive, and exploiting concerns about health and well-being. Many callers are untruthful about their identity and company details, leading to frustration and suspicion among those receiving these calls.
Reports on phone number 01616695801
8 yearsThey called my elderly mum, and honestly, it feels wrong that they can ring up vulnerable folks just to push meds on them. This sort of thing shouldn't be permitted.8 yearsMy partner got a call from 01616695801 and it was a woman trying to push ginger root extract capsules on him. He clearly said he wasn’t interested, but this woman, calling herself Kelly Smith, just ignored him and kept ringing back like 4 times in a row. It’s really annoying and feels like harassment. Totally not acceptable.Kelly Smith8 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent, but she totally messed up the pronunciation of my 91-year-old uncle’s name. We thought she dialled the wrong number at first. What’s worrying is that somehow they bypassed the ‘call guardian’ we have on my phone. Normally, any calls to my uncle get redirected to mine, so spam usually ends up in the junk folder. My uncle has fallen victim to this same company before - they tricked him into buying useless health ‘seeds’. Since then, we’ve taken off all his credit cards to prevent any more scams.8 yearsa dodgy firm keeps ringing up and trying to push pricey turmeric pills on my elderly mum, who’s pretty vulnerable. last time, a guy named joshua was on the phone with her. i reckon he’s connected to the same lot who’ve tried ripping her off before, three times now with pineapple and rosewater tablets. it’s really upsetting to see them target her like this.Joshua8 yearsI’m not sure really.9 yearsI keep getting calls from a woman with an Asian accent looking for my mum. Whenever I ask what they’re after, they just stay quiet. They ring up nearly every day, about five times a week. Now that I’ve figured out who it is, I just don’t pick up when the number shows on my phone.9 yearsThis morning at about 11 am, I got a call from a woman claiming she was calling on behalf of the Wellness Centre, something about Basingstoke I think, but said she was actually in West Linton today, which is just near where I live. I decided to quiz her a bit about West Linton and it became clear she wasn’t really there. To be honest, I ended up giving her some pretty far-fetched answers, like being 75 years old but running a marathon every month and planning to climb the Matterhorn next week! She caught on to my silly stories but stayed polite and ended the call after around ten minutes. From what I’ve read elsewhere, it seems like the company behind this is probably trying to market some kind of health supplements.WellnessCentreBasingstokeWest LintonMatterhorn9 yearsI’m so fed up with these calls from some place called ‘well centre’. I’ve put them on block but the annoying calls keep coming through and my phone says blocked. They ring me loads of times every day and it’s really getting on my nerves. Does anyone know where I can complain about this? I’m not sure who to contact.Well Centre9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Kelly Smith from Warwickshire Health Centre, asking about my health age and stuff. Then she started on this cinnamon bark extract that apparently helps you live longer - taking tablets daily for about 6 or 7 months. They said it usually costs £40 but she was offering it for £20, delivered straight to your home, and that it’s impossible to find in any health food shop. She asked for my address, but I didn’t give it. She gave me a number, 01926 356444, but when I checked, the call actually came from 0161 6695801. She mentioned the company was Athena Well Being Ltd in Kenilworth, but their real number is 0203 12 935 24. The voice sounded a bit American too. Definitely suspicious - would recommend steering clear!Kelly SmithWarwickshire Health CentreAthena Well Being LtdKenilworth9 yearsthis bloke who claimed his name was arthur or sumthin has rung my mum loads of times, always going on about sending a cheque! my missus rang them up a couple of weeks back and told them to remove her number from their list but guess what, they still keep ringing. i'm proper fed up now and gonna ring back and tell them to stop calling my mum or else i’ll have to do something about it. arthur, yeah right! second name daley or what?Arthur9 yearsThey keep ringing me from different numbers, saying they’re some kind of wellness centre, and they’re always trying to push pricey supplements on me.9 yearsThey rang up looking for my husband, but he’s been gone for 27 years now. Feels a bit eerie when that happens.9 yearsI called and asked for Mrs Petty, but apparently she passed away in May 2013. Someone should really update their records.Petty10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with a wellness centre. They kept asking about my health but when I tried to find out what exactly this centre was, they dodged the question. They said they’re worried about pensioners around Basingstoke, which is near me. I told them I’m fine and just hung up. Feels like they’re probably pushing medicines or some “health” products, trying to come across as caring just to sell stuff. Bit of a scam really, pretending to care about your welfare but the real aim is to get you to buy something.Basingstoke10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the Wellness Centre, and they immediately started quizzing me about my health. When I asked what exactly the Wellness Centre was, they dodged the question and just said they look out for pensioners' health around Basingstoke, which is the closest big town to me. I told them I’m doing fine and quickly ended the chat. My guess is they’re pushing some kind of medicines or “health” products, trying to fish for info so they can later suggest I buy their “cure.” Feels like a typical scam - pretending to care about your health when all they want is to sell you stuff.Wellness CentreBasingstokeSubmit Your Own Report (0161 669 5801)
