01617680150 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617680150 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number frequently associated with silent or abandoned calls, often early in the morning, causing distress especially to vulnerable individuals. Callers commonly claim to represent Ofcom or conduct consumer surveys, but use dubious tactics including scripted conversations, aggressive behaviour, or abusive language when challenged. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, many recipients experience relentless calls, often with foreign-accented voices and occasional foul language. The number appears to be spoofed, routed through overseas call centres, frustrating attempts to block or report it effectively. Users advise against answering or engaging and recommend call-blocking devices. The situation highlights systemic issues with regulating nuisance calls and the ineffectiveness of current safeguards, urging authorities and providers to take stronger action to protect consumers.

01617680150 started with a robotic voice then a man with a foreign accent, same as others have said, claimed to be from Ofcom, said I had to update my broadband or it would be cut off. I told him I wasn't buying it, he asked “why you not believe” then I hung up and blocked the number through BT.

01617680150 phoned me at 7.25 in the morning, completely waking me up. From what I gather, they’re the ones who claim your internet will be cut off and stuff. We get endless scam and spam calls like this. I’ve reported them to the proper authorities. Sometimes they help, other times they say there’s not much they can do with the details I provide. Frustrating really.

01617680150 keeps calling me nonstop no matter the time. They say my internet will be disconnected if I don’t sort it out. I shouldn’t be getting these calls at all, so I contacted my provider who gave me a number to block such annoying calls.

I received a ring from this number bright and early at 9.45 this morning. Thankfully, I've got myself a BT 8500 Call Guardian, which is an absolute lifesaver. It screens all incoming calls that aren't saved in my contacts, asking the caller to identify themselves. Once it reveals who they are, I can choose not to pick up if I don’t recognise them. Investing in this phone has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders regarding incessant nuisances, and I must say, it has become my most valued companion. You don’t need to be a BT subscriber for it to function, and being in my 70s, I’m certainly not keen on being overwhelmed by such calls.

Rang me at the crack of dawn, around 8 AM, claiming to be from Ofcom, promising to boost my broadband speed. They insisted I hop on my computer straight away-clearly hoping I'd give them access to my device (not a snowball’s chance in hell!). It felt like an eternity before the call connected, and when it finally did, an Asian chap was on the line, clearly reading from a pre-prepared script. Quite the dodgy operation, if you ask me!

They’ve been ringing us almost daily ever since we moved in about 3 months back! They keep asking for the person who lived here before us, I usually just say they don’t live here anymore and hang up. But this morning, they started swearing at me, asking if I was one of the f##king relatives, and when I said no, they told me to f#ck off! Didn’t need that kind of abuse first thing at 9am.

Yet again, I've received yet another call from this number - it seems they have an uncanny knack for ringing me nearly every day, alongside a whole host of other pestering telemarketers. I fell into their trap last week and actually answered, as I was pressed for time and anticipating an important call. Of course, I didn’t check the number beforehand and ended up regretting it! They claimed to be conducting a consumer survey, to which I promptly declined and hung up. Unsurprisingly, the calls haven’t ceased since.

They’ve been ringing me for almost two years now, calling at all hours morning, midday and evening. I’m fed up with it. I asked them to stop but still got two calls today alone. Seriously considering changing my number just to get some peace. The first one came at 8am on a Saturday - brilliant way to start my day off.

I got a call from 016176801501 and some guy with an Indian accent asked if I was Mrs Smith. When I asked who it was, he snapped, “Just tell me if you’re Mrs Smith, I’ve had a rubbish day, don’t make it worse.” I just hung up straight away!

I’ve noticed that this number shows up as an international call, yet it has a Manchester area code linked to it. It seems rather dodgy, and I reckon they’re using this method to sidestep the TPS and FPS rules. Personally, I always ignore calls like these, and the consensus is that it’s wise to do so.

Honestly, it baffles me - why on earth aren’t the authorities taking action to put an end to these irritating calls?

It’s beyond me why the authorities or even the telecom companies haven’t stepped in to tackle this issue! This number seems to be traced back to Manchester, yet it appears they’ve somehow taken control of it. Honestly, it’s nothing but a bloomin’ scam aimed at accessing your bank details or lining their pockets with your hard-earned cash. We need action on this - it’s high time someone put an end to these nuisances! They're a right bother, I tell you!

Loads of calls like this at strange times. This one was an Indian woman, but basically same message as before. Her accent was hard to catch, but I caught that if I gave her a bit of time, she promised no more calls from that number! Told her I was expecting a call and couldn’t chat. I reckon she was just messing about. Most of these calls I just let go to voicemail 'cos there’s so many, but it’s a pain when mates or family ring. No way I believed it was a genuine Manchester number anyway.

I've received numerous calls from this particular number, but I've chosen not to pick up, and they never leave any messages. After glancing through the comments, I've decided it's high time to block them. As a retiree, it’s rather vexing to have to invest in call blocking technology just to fend off these nuisances. It appears to be the only viable solution to sidestep such calls, especially since they claim to be conducting surveys, which keeps them out of the TPS regulations!

I seem to be bombarded with calls from various entities like ‘survey firms’, ‘PPI’ claims, and computer-related nuisances on almost a daily basis, including this particular number. It's frustrating because as soon as I pick up, the line falls silent, which is utterly infuriating. I find myself dashing in from the garden or halfway down the loft ladder, just to take a call that turns out to be nothing important. It's incredibly bothersome, and it really feels like my personal space is being intruded upon. Is there any chance of someone taking action to curb this?

Just received an unexpected call from this number a mere ten minutes ago. I chose not to pick up - and I’m rather glad I opted out, judging by the comments here! It rang for what felt like an eternity before abruptly disconnecting, with nary a word spoken.

That makes it three calls from three separate numbers in the last thirty minutes. I had already looked into the first two (this was the second), and both seemed rather suspect. I plan to investigate the third one once I’m finished here. Given that it had an international dialling code (003158839090), I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be dodgy as well. (And surprise, surprise, it is indeed fishy!)

It seems the scammers took a break for Christmas, but they’re back in full swing today. I hadn't received any dubious calls for a while, and now here I am, with three before midday...

This number has buzzed my phone a few times with silent calls. Once, a bloke with an Indian accent but a very English name spoke to me. Didn't cut the call, just put the phone down and let him rabbit on by himself. The TPS doesn’t do anything about overseas calls or those survey ones anyway. Even tho it shows an 0161 Manchester code, it's actually some call centre based in India.

When I asked where he got my number from, he said it was from a nationally trusted database and promised to be quick. I told him my number’s on the TPS and I never agreed to cold calls. He just said sorry and I ended the call. Anyone know if 01617 is a UK number or from abroad?

A few weeks back, I received an unexpected call from this number, and the voice on the other end claimed to be conducting a survey. I wasn’t having any of it, so I rapidly terminated the call and saved the number in my contacts as 'Survey' to play it safe for any future calls. Just moments ago, my phone rang again from the same number, and before they could utter a word, I cut in with, 'I’m not interested in doing surveys over the phone, thank you very much.' To which the rather accented individual remarked, 'What are you afraid of?' I chose not to engage. Then, in a chilling turn, he threatened, 'I AM GOING TO KILL YOU.' Can you believe that? What on earth!

It seems they're employing a Voice over IP (VoIP) system routed through a residential or business telephone number in the UK, which gives rise to that 'spoofing' effect. Currently operating under the guise of 'My Consumer Survey UK', they assert that they are utilising publicly accessible databases. However, this has been contradicted by the fact that they are calling a department within the civil service while pretending to seek information from 'homeowners'-non publicly listed numbers, no less. Whenever anyone asks for clarification or additional information during the call, they promptly hang up.

I've been receiving an endless stream of phone calls from this number, and it’s getting rather tiresome. Each time I mention that they’ve previously contacted me, they audaciously deny it. The callers tend to rush through their speech with thick foreign accents and a distinct lack of courtesy. They assert they’re conducting a “survey”, but I remind them every single time that we’re on the Telephone Preference Service list. Despite my efforts, they keep ringing back!

I said I was a bit tied up just before Christmas. Then they called me a liar and told me to ‘f’ off. Lovely.

This number keeps ringing me incessantly, but today they were particularly relentless, so I finally picked up around 3:24 PM. An Indian gentleman was on the line, claiming he was conducting a survey. I politely informed him that I was pressed for time due to the school run. Despite my three clear attempts to explain my unavailability, he continued to push the survey. To my utter disbelief, he then declared, 'I will curse you; you're going to meet with an accident!' I was utterly gobsmacked and asked him to repeat what he had just said, and he reiterated that chilling statement! Normally, I wouldn’t let such things get to me, but the sheer shock of it made me tearful. It's absolutely unacceptable; we have to consider the impact on vulnerable people, especially the elderly. It’s a worrying situation! :(

I've been getting constant calls from this number, and they don’t seem to grasp the concept of 'no'. They just keep insisting they'll ring me again. It’s quite tiresome, to say the least!

I've received numerous calls from this number since the twelfth of August, and each time, it’s just silence on the other end! It's hard to believe that being on the Telephone Preference Service is any help at all. It feels about as effective as trying to use a whisper to halt a stampede of elephants-no disrespect to the elephants, of course!

This number has been calling us non-stop since Monday, 8/12, but it’s always silent!!! Also, reading other people’s comments about being on the T.P.S, I gotta say, in our case it’s about as useful as a thick fog.

Someone rang me today and just started shouting abuse without even saying who they were.

They ring and then just go quiet. Happens loads to me.

Got a call about a consumer survey, told them I wasn’t interested. The person on the other end got really rude and said they’d keep ringing until I did the survey. Proper horrible people. Definitely not picking up if they call back.

I've been getting loads of calls every day from this firm. Asked to speak with a manager and told him to remove my number from their list. He said he would, but less than an hour later I got another call. It's some marketing lot trying to get me to do a survey.

I received a call from this number earlier today at precisely 09:55. Thankfully, the BT Call Guardian system kicked in, and since the caller didn’t bother to introduce themselves, the call was cut off. I've gone ahead and blocked this number to prevent any further nuisance. I would certainly advocate for the BT Call Guardian System; I purchased it and set it up on my cordless phone, and it’s been a game-changer!

Got two calls from this number today, both times just dead silence. I’m on the TPS register too.

I've been inundated with relentless and bothersome phone calls from this number!

I've been getting a number of silent calls at all hours, which is particularly frustrating when you’re on the night shift! When they do actually say something, it's just abuse because I refuse to engage with their questions. Surely there's a way to put an end to all this nonsense?

Earlier today, I picked up the phone and let them know that the individual they were trying to reach was unfortunately unavailable due to his passing just the night before (totally fabricated, of course). I mentioned that I was his caretaker, although I'm not quite certain what the modern term is for such a role these days. One thing's for sure, though - it's definitely not anything remotely close to a rude expletive!

I've been receiving calls from this number multiple times each month, and they always seem to be looking for someone named Mr. Branch. When I inform them they've dialled incorrectly, they mention they're conducting a survey and then proceed to ask for my personal details, like my name and address. Naturally, I decline to provide any information and request that they remove my number from their list. However, the callers tend to become quite aggressive, insisting they'll keep ringing until I participate in their survey. Interestingly, the individuals on the other end have strong accents that sound distinctly Indian. I'm at a loss-how can I put an end to these incessant calls? I've even signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, but it hasn't made a jot of difference.

This particular number seems to ring me a couple of times daily, often at the same hours. It's incredibly frustrating! With my disability, it’s quite a challenge for me to answer the phone, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s them yet again. Normally, I wouldn’t bother to get up, but I’m anxiously awaiting an important call.

Said he was calling from Computer Safe over in Wolverhampton, something to do with Coquetdale - I tried asking for the full address but his accent made it impossible to understand. Rings me up daily even tho I'm registered on the do not call list.

Every time we pick up, they simply end the call. It's infuriating that such lowlifes continue to operate with impunity. One has to wonder about the efficacy of Ofcom and the police; it feels like a colossal waste of resources. Why on earth isn't the government taking action to stamp this out?

I’ve been receiving calls from this individual a minimum of three times daily. When I confronted him about it, he insisted he won't stop calling until I respond to his inquiries. Isn't this a clear case of harassment?

I've been receiving calls from this number incessantly, only for them to hang up right away. Seems like a bit of a scam to me, if you ask me!

Received a rather unpleasant phone call from this one - they were downright rude and aggressive. Definitely the most awful telemarketer I've encountered!

This number has been relentless, despite me clearly stating I'm not interested in engaging with them or answering any of their inquiries. They've resorted to aggressive shouting and even screaming, which is quite frankly unacceptable. I was informed that the only way to halt these incessant calls was to comply with their demands for answers. Strangely, another number has been harassing me in the same way - 01729568147. Interestingly enough, both callers abruptly ended the conversation once I mentioned that I would be lodging a complaint with Ofcom.

It's rather frustrating, isn't it? It seems some people just can't grasp the English language. A bit of effort wouldn’t go amiss, I reckon!

I'm receiving calls from this number repeatedly, yet I can't make heads or tails of what they’re saying. I've lodged a complaint with the Telephone Preference Service and Ofcom, but so far, no action has been taken!

Oi, Ken, whatever you do, don’t even think about ringing that number again! It’s a total con, and calling them back will cost you an arm and a leg. They’ve got an Indian accent but pretend to have a posh English name. Just steer clear of this dodgy business - it’s a scam through and through!

Got a silent call with a recorded voice saying it was for some market research - defo not from any legit MRS registered firm. Makes real market research look dodgy.

Fed up with all these calls that go unanswered when I pick up. I’m disabled and have been registered with the TPS ages ago, yet these annoying calls keep coming nonstop.
