Reports on phone number 01617597289
6 yearsGot a call from an auto dialler saying they needed my info for some HMRC tax fraud investigation. Definitely a scam.HMRC6 yearstranscript of conversation: Him: Hello, is this Mr XYZ? Me: Who’s this? Him: Good evening Mr XYZ, I’m calling from the credit investigation department. Before he could continue, I just said, Sod off, and hung up. I hardly ever swear, and it really annoys me that this person forced me to. Bloody rude, sneaky, unpleasant, deceitful people.XYZ6 yearsProper cheeky and clueless bloke that just cut me off when I said I had no idea who he was after. How do these firms keep pestering folks nonstop? Absolute muppets. Now on my blocked list.6 yearsthey rang me this morning but I was still in bed and didnt pick up!! since i didnt answer I reckon they moved on to bother someone else. they keep calling and every time i do get to the phone and they ask for me, I just say she’s not around right now.6 yearsCalled my mum saying she owed money and that they were from citizens advice. They were so pushy and rude, kept asking for her bank info. They must’ve had her full name and address already but wouldn’t say where they got it from. Once she made it clear she wasn’t giving anything, they hung up real quick!Citizens Advice6 yearsKeep getting these annoying calls, just block them already.6 yearsGot a missed call from this number earlier but they didn’t leave any voicemail or text. A similar number rang me a few days ago too, maybe it’s the same telemarketing firm? Don’t really wanna ring back coz I’m not familiar with it - could just be some automated bot seeing if my phone's live.6 yearsNoticed a couple missed calls from this number so I tried ringing back. Couldn’t get through, just heard beeps, so I think it’s one of those "virtual" UK mobile lines.UK6 yearsIve been getting loads of calls from this number lately but never picked up. Theyve never bothered to leave a voicemail either. If they want to seem genuine, they should really leave a message.6 yearsI’ve been ignoring calls from this number cause no idea who it is, likely just another cold caller. These sorts of people are such a pain!6 yearsI received a phone call from this firm claiming I had problems with my credit. When I denied it, they had the audacity to call me a liar and promptly hung up! At least that spared me from having to deal with their nonsense further.6 yearsThey pretended to be from the fraud squad and when they didn't receive the info they were after, they became quite aggressive. After I ended the call, they kept ringing back, hurling insults and making threats. What a truly unpleasant experience!6 yearsSome bloke called me a proper Mother F88ker today just coz I told him I’m not interested and didn’t wanna waste either of our time. Wish he had the guts to say that to me in person!6 yearsIt showed up as Manchester but when I dialled it back with 141 in front, it was actually from Scotland. The things they said to me on the phone were awful. That company should be really embarrassed.ManchesterScotland6 yearsSCAM ALERT!!! This bloke said my number got passed around to them, asking for my personal stuff, something about a debt scheme. Claimed they could cut my debt by 70% and I’d be sorted, but I told him I don’t owe anything! Still kept on trying to get my details, I kept saying no way I’m giving u anything, then he just hung up.6 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from Citizens Advice about financial difficulties. They hung up rather quickly when I mentioned that I volunteer with them.Citizens Advice6 years01617597289 got blocked by me after I found them really annoying and pushy, kept ringing me loads of times every day.6 yearsGot a robocall telling me my phone would be cut off, total scam right through from start to finish.6 yearsGot calls from this number loads of times, picked up and they just dropped off, then they rang again really aggressive. I’ve blocked them before but somehow they keep breaking through.6 yearsThis number often rings me with scam calls, once they even faked being from HMRC claiming I was about to get nicked, still no sign of that arrest though!HMRC6 yearsI thought I’d blocked this number before, but somehow they keep getting past. It’s really sketchy and annoying, constantly trying to pressure me for money.6 yearsI received a call from a chap claiming to be part of some credit team. He insisted that I had some overdue debts concerning credit cards and loans. The moment I informed him that I had never taken out any loans or credit cards, he abruptly hung up on me! Very dodgy business.6 yearsI received a call from some bloke claiming to be with a credit team, insisting I owed money on credit cards and loans. The moment I told him I’ve never had any loans or credit cards, he hung up without another word! Typical scammer behaviour, honestly.6 yearsThey've rung me a few times about some credit thing, and when I asked the last caller what info they actually had, he said he couldn't tell me because of GDPR or something. He kept at me and then started getting proper rude and even made threats. I'm not easily fazed by this, but I reckon it could scare a lot of folks.6 yearsThis number is definitely a scam, folks. You should report it to the police database and also warn others here. Just google ‘action fraud,’ go to ‘police.uk’, find the ‘report’ section, and flag it as a phishing call. No need to sign up or anything. Honestly, it’s the best way to try and put an end to these dodgy calls in the long run.6 yearsI blocked this number ages ago but they still ring me, usually a couple times daily for about 4 days straight, then quit for a bit and then start all over again. A few months back I talked to an Indian guy telling him I don’t owe anything and to take my number off their list, but nothing’s changed.India6 yearsCredit fraud attempt. They began by saying they were Neil, I corrected them saying I’m Mark.NeilMark6 yearsI get really wary of calls where they don’t bother leaving a message. Usually makes me think its a scam or just some sales person hassling me. I legit won’t bother calling back if there’s no message left. Would be nice to know who’s calling and what they want before I even think about picking up.6 yearsPurely scammers, nothing else. Just block straight away.6 yearsThese idiots keep calling, absolute pain in the neck.6 years01617597289 seems like another one of those dodgy scams to me.6 yearsThis bloke phoned me up, knew my name and where I live, said I owed money and he could clear 80% of it thanks to some 1986 law the government put in place. When I told him I knew exactly who he was and threw back some quotes from the Taken films, he called me a smartarse but really was just a muppet. These scammers ring me from that company at least twice daily, sometimes pretending to be from the tax office. I usually keep them chatting for ages if I’m in the mood.6 yearsHe never said who he was, just kept asking for Ben Radamski and said he owed money. I've gotten like 30 or 40 calls from them.Ben Radamski6 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming he was from a certain company and said I supposedly owed money. I told him I’m clear with my bills and debts, then he just ended the call.6 yearsThis bloke wouldn’t say who he was, just kept ringin asking for Ben Radamski sayin he was oweing some money. I’ve had like 30 to 40 calls from him so far.Ben Radamski6 yearsThey called but never left a voicemail. Got a return call from a spam number when I called back, but they refused to explain what business they're in since my number was private. Sorted it by blocking them. Won't be hearing from them anymore.6 yearsI picked up the phone and some bloke said I had unsecured debts, which ain't true at all. I told him my number is on the Telephone Preference Service and he just swore at me and hung up. Pretty sure Clear Score must have passed my details onto these scammers.Score6 yearsThis number keeps calling me non stop. Lucky me, I never pick up. Bunch of idiots with nothing else to bother about.6 yearsI've put in complaints to TPS and OFCom but these calls still won't stop. Seems like since I've picked up a few times, they've sussed out it's a real number, so they just keep ringing.Telephone Preference ServiceOFCom6 yearsI’ve been receiving numerous calls from this number, and it’s becoming quite intrusive. No idea who’s behind it; every time I answer, there’s just silence on the other end. I’d appreciate it if they could cease these persistent calls-it’s rather bothersome!6 yearsReceived a rather dubious call that seemed to be nothing more than an annoyance.6 yearsI've had more than 30 calls from these lot already, even though I've asked them to take me off their list. Thinking about maybe getting legal advice for harassment or something like that.6 yearsI keep getting calls often but whenever I pick up it just goes to voicemail without any message.6 yearsThis 01617597289 number rang me up saying i had debts with some company but that isn’t true at all. They also called me earlier on monday but i just ended the call. Definitely a scam, watch out!6 yearsKeep getting loads of annoying calls and they’re proper rude whenever I pick up!6 yearsHad a rather unpleasant phone call from someone claiming to be Eric, insisting that I owed money. I ended the conversation abruptly and promptly blocked his number. No time for that nonsense!Eric6 yearsTotal rip off. Never share your bank info with them!6 yearsI've had enough of this number calling me only to immediately hang up! 😂6 yearsKeeps ringing me but then cuts off as soon as I pick up.6 yearsThey rang me twice already today, its really annoying! Anyone know how to get them to quit?6 yearsI found myself in a rather peculiar situation where the caller continuously murmured my first name. It struck me that they might have had a speech impediment, as that was all that escaped their lips. In the end, I decided to end the call-what a bunch of numpties!6 yearsThat guy Eric from Asia phoned me again! He's using a different number this time!! He claimed he works for a debt collector. Thats when I ended the call! I’ve blocked this one too. Such a shady scam, really annoying. Don’t fall for it, just block the number immediately!EricAsia6 years01617597289 - had to block this annoying caller.6 years0161 759 7289 just gave me a ring. Some bloke claiming to be from debt credit, saying I owe money on my credit card. Which I definitely dont! Told him I don’t have any card debts, then hung up and blocked the number straight away.7 yearsit only rang once, which was weird. I wonder if it’s some outside company that makes money for every call they do or something?7 yearsOh, this bloke called Eric rang me up saying I owed money and that his manager had given him my info to help sort it out. I told him I wasn’t interested and was busy, but he kept going. I left him sitting while I went to the loo, and he was still there when I got back. I told him to get on with his spiel, but I wasn’t having any of it. Then he asked how much I owed. I said if he really had my details, he’d know that already. He guessed £5,000, I said no, then guessed between £3,000-£4,000, still no. He told me to stop wasting his time and then hung up. What a muppet!Eric7 yearsno clue who was ringing me but when I tried to ring back the number just wouldnt pick up!! Seems dodgy to me, probably spam or some kinda scam.7 yearsI've had enough; I've even gone so far as to block the number, yet they still manage to reach me.7 yearsThey keep calling me lots lately but just drop the call as soon as I ask who’s calling through my caller ID!7 yearsI was under the impression silent calls were banned by now!7 yearsThis kind of call should be banned! The phone companies need to be held accountable! So frustrating!7 yearsCould 'who-called' please block any posts containing 'K#### Q####'? This person is spoiling the reputation of the site. More importantly, anyone getting calls from this scam number should report it to Action Fraud through their phishing report page. Also, follow the online steps to submit further info to the NFIB, as explained at the bottom of this page. Action Fraud actually take these reports seriously and do make arrests, but they need us all to report to build a strong case. Don’t just leave it to someone else to do it!Action FraudNFIB7 yearsTotal idiot K#### Q#### from Leicester, such a scammer.Leicester7 yearsBeen getting calls non stop for ages, and today I just lost it and told the person to f##k off. Then 5 minutes later they rang back and called me a f.- I was shocked 😱😱 really harassing and so rude. They don’t listen when you say no, just take me off your list!7 yearsSome bloke called saying my credit info had been given to them through some free programme from the Scottish government for folks like me, to wipe out about 60-70% of my debt. I was like “folks like me??” I told him I’m alright, thanks, and that I actually work for the Scottish government, then asked why he was ringing me out of the blue about it. He got proper rude and gave me a really weird vibe. I’ve blocked the number now.7 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to represent the government, and their tone took a rather aggressive turn. They threatened that a legal representative would come to my home, which was quite unsettling.7 yearsI asked why they were calling me so late, about 7pm, and when I did, the person just started making rude and offensive remarks at me.7 years0161 759 7289 what a bunch of wankers. Some bloke called my missus today and was full of dodgy comments. How do these muppets still get away with this? Wish I could sort them out face to face, proper d#cks.

He did mention an old address of mine though! He tried to sell me a debt reduction plan - £150 a month for 5 years or something. Sounds dodgy to me, definitely a scam. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust anyone like that!IVA7 years0161 7597289 - Proper rude people. They keep ringing me up twice every single day for the past two weeks. Always calling me all sorts of names.7 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be from the government offering to sort out a debt I supposedly owe, which is rubbish as I don’t owe anything. When I asked where they got my info, they said the FCA. I kept pressing, and then they said they’re debt collectors and threatened to send people to my place in a couple of hours, saying they’d smash the door down and take stuff if I wasn’t in. Scary thing is, they had my actual address! Thankfully, everything was fine when I got back home.7 yearsI picked up and they just dropped the line straight away?

Yeah, sure they are!!7 yearsHe rings me like two times every day. Says he’s Eric from some debt recovery firm. If I go along with it, no problem, but if I say no, he acts like he doesn’t get English at all.
