4 monthsI’ve gotten calls from this number two times in just a couple of days, but both times there was no voicemail left. After seeing what others have said about it, I’m gonna just block it.4 monthsThis number kept ringing my phone over and over, definitely some kind of spam. I'd be wary before picking up!4 monthsI didn’t pick up but they did leave a voicemail. It was just weird heavy breathing, sounded like some dodgy character from an old horror film. No actual words or anything. Proper creepy.4 monthsGot another call claiming to be from Manchester in just thirty minutes. After seeing what others said, I’m just going to block it straight away.Manchester5 monthsSome dodgy cold callers rang me up, total scammers and con artists trying to du some business on innocent folks. You really have to watch out for these types.5 monthsA polite woman claimed she was conducting a traffic survey. I told her I was tied up and ended the call straight away.5 monthsThey hung up before I could say anything. Didn’t even leave a voicemail.5 monthsBeware of this number, it’s definitely a scam. It’s one of those fake UK numbers that scammers use to trick people. I asked BT to verify it and turns out it’s not an actual phone number registered in the UK. Looks like some dodgy call centre overseas is masking their real location by using a Manchester area code, just to fool folks into thinking it’s local. Honestly, it’s pretty risky, so I’d stay well clear of it!UKBTManchester5 monthsBeware of the number 01616762495 - it’s a scam for sure. I used BT’s 1471 service to see who it was and turns out it's not a real UK number at all. The prefix looks like it’s from Manchester, but it’s actually some dodgy call centre based abroad pretending to be local. They’re trying to trick people by making it seem like it’s a legit UK caller. Really shady stuff, so I’d steer clear of this one!BTUKManchester5 monthsGot a call from this number, but I didn’t pick up. No idea who it was.5 monthsI got a ring from a friendly lady doing a survey for the Welsh Government, something about usage but I can’t quite recall what. I ended the call pretty quick.5 monthsGot a call from some scammer. All I found in the voicemail was this creepy heavy breathing and munching noises. Bit weird if you ask me.5 monthsGot a call from a friendly woman claiming to do a survey about wifi for the government. I told her I don’t share any details over the phone and she just said alright then.5 monthsGot a call but no one said a word. Sketchy lot, sounds like scammers. Watch out!5 monthsGot a very polite woman asking for quite a bit of personal info, nothing about money though, said it was for a government survey.

What a pain!7 monthsEven tho I blocked the number, it still keeps ringing me nonstop!7 monthsMy phone started ringing and just as I reached to answer, the answerphone kicked in. The light was blinking on the machine, but when I pressed the button to check messages, there was nothing there - just a faint humming noise for a couple of seconds.7 monthsSome woman rang up saying she was conducting a survey about Water Companies. I was intrigued so I answered a few questions, but then she suddenly said they’d hit their target and just ended the call. Not really sure what the point of the call was in the end.Water Companies7 monthsGot a call just as the evenings were getting busy here. A polite woman was enquiring about the local water supplier’s service. I mentioned that I’m on a private water source so can’t really help. With all the recent news about the Myanmar government cracking down on a massive scam operation - tearing down sites and sending back countless supposedly multilingual ‘employees’ behind some really advanced cons worldwide - I’m pretty suspicious of any unexpected calls, even if they sound genuine and friendly.Myanmar7 monthsAfter checking this site, I saw it was best not to pick up, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked that number now.7 monthsThey called me to ask if I’d left any feedback about the water supply.. then said I hadn’t done any of their surveys at all.7 monthsGot a call from this number but no message was left. When I tried ringing it back, it told me the number was invalid. I'd avoid picking up if you see this number on your screen.7 monthsGot a call at about 3.20pm asking me some questions about my water supply. Told them I was tied up then. They said they’d try again later, but when I said no, they just hung up on me.7 monthsGot a call at about 5.40pm from someone saying it was regarding home heating and they needed to ask a few survey questions. I ended up just hanging up because it felt a bit dodgy. Seems like one of those scams, so I’ve reported it and blocked the number.8 monthsAbsolutely a rip-off, steer clear no matter what.8 monthsGot a call on 18th Nov 2025 at 6:17pm but I didn’t pick up coz I didn’t know the number.8 monthsI didn’t get to answer this call because my phone’s blocking feature stopped it from ringing. The call showed up on my phone log at 6:13 pm, but I have no clue who was calling.8 monthsThis number has rang me 3 times, always about half past six in the evening. It's some survey, but I've ended the call before they could explain what it was about.8 monthsGot a call about some survey on water services or something, but I wasn’t interested, so just hung up. Felt like a complete waste of time.8 monthsThey hung up just as I tried to pick up. From what ive gathered, it’s one of those annoying calls - at 7 in the evening.8 months01616762495 called me earlier. A bloke with a weird voice, like he was just reading off a paper, started talking about the water company and asked if I wanted to assist. I said nothing and he just ended the call. Pretty clear it was a dodgy scam.8 monthsToday I got a call from someone who sounded like an elderly person, trying to get us involved in a survey to reconnect us with our water provider! Clearly just a setup to ask more personal stuff later. We’re well aware of who supplies our water, and it definitely isn’t based in Manchester. The number showed as blocked and I just deleted it straight away. We’re on the TPS list, but still get dodgy calls like this way too often.ManchesterTPS8 monthsReceived a call from a woman claiming to do some kind of survey for a water company. I just hung up straight away. I'm registered on the telephone preference service, so they really shouldn’t be ringing me!8 monthsGot a call at 17:20, didn’t know the number so just let it ring.10 monthsJust got a ring from this number about some survey for Sunderland City Council. When I asked what it was about, the caller hung up straight away. Annoyingly it was just after 5pm so I couldn’t check with the council to see if it was genuine or a scam.Sunderland City Council10 monthsPicked up the call and it said it was about local council business. Voice sounded robotic, so I ended the call and looked up the number here. I’ve blocked it since then.10 monthsVery friendly, said they were conducting a survey about my neighbourhood with some multiple choice questions about public transport, parks, the library, road conditions, rubbish collection and stuff like that.10 monthsGot a call about 6pm from someone claiming to be with Ofwat. They wanted to ask me some questions about the water supply, saying it would take about 20 minutes. Told them I was busy cooking tea and hung up. They rang again a few minutes later.
