01616761953 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01616761953 👆 is reported as a persistent scam linked to unsolicited calls from various UK numbers, often involving misleading offers such as free medical alert devices targeting older adults or bogus loft insulation and energy efficiency surveys. Callers frequently hang up when questioned and may use different names and numbers, suggesting number spoofing. Many recipients recognise these as nuisance or potentially dangerous calls designed to extract personal information. The calls rarely leave messages, and users with listed or TPS-registered numbers report no legitimate reason for contact. Blocking the numbers and avoiding engagement is advised, especially for vulnerable or elderly individuals who may be targeted. Overall, this number is associated with aggressive, misleading marketing tactics and potential fraud, so caution is strongly recommended.

I never pick up for numbers I don't know. If it was important, they would have left a voicemail or something.

A caller claiming to be from a medical alert service spoke to me, but something felt off. There were strange pauses in the conversation, like they were waiting or maybe playing pre-recorded answers. To buy myself some time to verify the phone numbers, I asked them to call back later. About 30 minutes later, they rang again, this time from a different number but the same name and voice. When I checked both numbers, they appeared to be from separate areas in the UK. I reckon it's all just a scam.

Got a call from 01616761953, some medical centre saying I qualify for an alert pendant. They asked if I use any aids and if I’m over 50. Also wanted to know how they got my number, then just hung up. Pretty weird.

Got a call from 01616761953 which seemed familiar as I used to know people round Manchester and had been thinking about them recently. The guy said his name was Alex and claimed to be from some Medical Alert Centre. He told me my details showed I might qualify for a Medical Alert Pendant and asked how old I was. I told him he’d called me before and I’d already said I don’t want any medical alert pendant. Had a similar call not long ago but it came from a Bournemouth number instead.

This person called me claiming I was eligible for some kind of medical alert pendant. When I asked for details, he said I could use it as a bracelet or a necklace. I wasn’t impressed and told him where to shove it. This kind of scam is really risky, especially for older folks who might fall for it.

This call defo sounds like one of those dodgy medical negligence scams or something related to an accident.

I just ignored the call. My number's private and I'm on the TPS, so really, nobody should be ringing me unless I’ve given out my details. Seems like this might be one of those scam calls, if you look at the reviews.

Watch out for this dodgy outfit called Filitastica. They’re pushing loft insulation assessments and some sort of medical monitoring gadgetry. Quite the shifty operation, if you ask me!

I received a call from a rather eager chap named Simon, who was keen to discuss my loft insulation. However, seeing as I reside in a ground floor flat with no loft in sight, it struck me as an obvious case of spam. What a cheeky nuisance!

Someone rang me but I didn’t pick up, so it went straight to voicemail. When they heard I don’t answer calls from unknown numbers, they didn’t bother leaving any message at all. Really strange, like they just hung up.

Got a call earlier from 0161 676 1953 and the bloke said his name was Chris and he was ringing from Energy Efficiency. He asked if I was the homeowner, and I said no. Suddenly he went quiet and just ended the call. I’ve blocked the number now. Quite odd!

Got two calls from this number today. First one was at 10:20 am from 02037 477636, with a person saying something about my driveway and the driveway centre. Then again at 2:10 pm, same message, same voice, said they’re from the driveway centre and asked if I had a driveway. Bit strange really.

Had a call today from a number almost the same as one I got a couple days ago, only one digit different. This is the fourth time in three days I’ve had these annoying calls. I just don’t answer them anymore. After reading other comments, it’s obvious this is some persistent scammer or telemarketer using spoofed numbers to hide who they really are. Watch out for these.

I picked up my home phone by mistake and hung up after a couple mins of just quiet. Saw some other complaints about this number and another from a different area code that called yesterday. They say the caller claimed to be Alex, trying to sell some kind of 'tree' alarm aimed at people over 50.

Got two calls within a few hours, one from this number and another from 01417298575. Both guys said they’re from some energy efficiency scheme nearby, but my place is way over 100 miles from where they claim to be. Both were polite men and sounded like they were reading off the same script. I reckon the numbers might be spoofed and coming from the same spot.

Got a call from a bloke named John yesterday asking if my driveway was fine. Felt like he was fishing for info about who lives here and how old they might be - seemed a bit dodgy, like a scam. He’s actually called me three times over the past couple of days.

Got a call from someone called Simon, claiming to be from my local energy firm but never mentioned any specific company or even where I supposedly live. The message sounded pre-recorded with awkward pauses, obviously trying to trick you into staying on the line. Earlier, Simon rang me from a London 020 number, then somehow switched to a Manchester number within an hour for the next call. I’ve had about five calls today from this same number - total nuisance. Definitely a SCAM.

The phone kept going off and I was tied up, so I just hit the button to answer and then hung up immediately, probably not the nicest way to handle it but they wouldn't stop calling. After that I left the receiver off the hook, so I’m not sure if they tried again, but I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now!

Got a call from some bloke called “Simon” trying to push an energy scam on me. He just kept interrupting me non-stop until I had to raise my voice to get a word in edgeways! These sorts of calls usually came from Bournemouth area codes, and I hadn’t heard from them in months. Suddenly, they’ve started up again with two calls back to back, this time from Manchester numbers. Proper annoying.

Got a call from someone saying it was about energy savings. He assumed I was the homeowner and that I must have checked out grants already. When I asked who he thought he was speaking to, he just stuck to his rehearsed pitch. As soon as I brought up the TPS, he told me I'd be put on the Do Not Call registry - something I reckon should have happened ages ago! He wasn’t rude, but I cut him off before he could get through the whole spiel. A quick search showed the number belongs to a company that does insulation marketing.
