01616960127 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01616960127 👆 is reported as a source of persistent cold calls, often claiming affiliation with well-known energy providers like Scottish Power or British Gas. Many recipients find the calls misleading or intrusive, with some noting inaccurate regional phone numbers. While a few describe the callers as polite and professional utility brokers, the consensus is that the approach can be overly pushy, and claims of direct company representation are dubious. Caution is advised, especially as the brokers sometimes continue after being declined and may use questionable tactics or false identities. New visitors should remain vigilant, verify any offers independently, and avoid engaging with unsolicited calls to safeguard against potential scams.

Got a few calls today from someone saying they're from Scottish Power, trying to get me to renew my electricity contract. But I've already sorted it straight through Scottish Power myself. Also, the 0161 area code isn’t even in Scotland! Bit dodgy if you ask me.

Sounded like a proper electricity deal broker on the phone. They rang me saying I was a church elder and that they were told to get in touch by our ex-minister. Didn’t bother chatting as we’ve already got the church’s contract locked down for a good few years ahead, so can’t really say how pushy they are! Usually these deals are handled by brokers chosen at a regional level, not directly through local churches, so feels like a bit of a cheeky approach to me.

I got a call about renewing my electricity contract. The bloke seemed alright, but he just wouldn’t quit when I said no. I’m not big on random cold calls anyway. I had to say I wasn’t interested like five times before he finally got it. Bit annoying really.

I got a call from some utility broker, Exchange Utility or something, and they said they're based in Manchester. Seemed legit enough.

someone pretending to be from british gas called me. i usually don’t mind brokers getting in touch, but pretending to be british gas just makes me suspicious. i don’t bother with anyone who can’t be truthful.

They keep calling but never bother to leave a voicemail.

So this guy with a real English accent rang me up saying he wanted to discuss our business electricity deal - which we don’t even have! When I told him he sounded like a scammer, he just laughed. Pretty sure he was trying to pull a fast one.
