01617 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617 👆 is reported as a source of numerous scam and nuisance calls involving aggressive tactics, false claims, and automated messages. Callers commonly pose as utilities, banks, Amazon, HMRC, or tech support, attempting to extract personal information, payments, or induce fear through alleged fraudulent activities. Many report persistent calls with no messages or hang-ups upon answering, and repeated harassment even after blocking. Instances include false billing claims, fake policy renewals, and tax fraud threats, often accompanied by overseas-sounding accents or recorded voices. Recipients are strongly advised to avoid engaging, never provide personal details, refrain from returning missed calls, use call-blocking features, and consider reporting to relevant authorities such as Ofcom or the police to help curb these persistent scams.

Got a call from 01617 105548 saying they were from British Gas. They said our business meter stopped sending readings so they need us to provide them to fix the bill. But I can clearly check online and see readings updating every half hour for ages. When I called them out on their rubbish story, they just ended the call on me.

Called me a few times this number 01617682347, kept saying it was Microsoft about my computer. Problem is, I don’t even own a computer! After the third call I just put them on voicemail so they’d stop bothering me. Proper annoying.

01617660236 called me with a fake recorded message claiming it was my bank security alert. They said two payments were taken from my account: one for £300 to Amazon Prime (which I never subscribe to) and another for £1000 sent abroad to an account I’ve never used. The message told me to press 1 to stop the transfers or talk to someone. I just hung up straight away. This scam’s been trying to get me for years now, probably 30 times or more, and the message never changes.

There have been two calls within a span of 15 minutes from another number, 01 61738 1860, but the person calling repeatedly does not receive any response. I reckon that Tony is being his usual cheerful self, but if you are a criminal, why would he bother engaging with you?

Got calls from 01617453953 twice this morning, with someone claiming to be from a tech support team. I told them I wasn't interested and hung up. Then, about ten minutes later, I got an automated call from abroad saying my internet was going to be cut off. BT's call protect isn’t doing much good since these lot keep switching numbers all the time.

01618 209555 rang me about 5 times during April and today a new one popped up 01617 831843. Both Manchester area codes. Cold calling might not be against the law just yet but repeatedly calling like this can count as harassment, and businesses who keep at it could get hit with a big fine by Ofcom if enough people like me or you report them. It’s up to us, the consumers, to raise a complaint so these annoying calls might stop.
