01617682697 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617682697 👆 is reported as a nuisance and potential scam, with persistent calls promoting driveway-related services under the guise of a window or driveway scrappage scheme. Callers often disregard the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and continue aggressive marketing despite requests to stop. Recipients report scripted calls from a likely call centre, sometimes with silent or disconnected responses and no voicemail left. The callers may ask intrusive questions unrelated to the recipient's situation, such as driveway details, and are unwilling to accept refusals. Several users have reported these calls to regulators, highlighting privacy concerns and possible breaches of GDPR. New visitors should be cautious, avoid providing personal information, and consider reporting the number to official authorities.

Got a call that felt dodgy, pretty sure it was a scam.

Got a call on my home phone earlier today about some sort of window replacement offer. I reckon it's the same firm that’s phoned a few times before. Pretty sure it’s an automated voice rather than an actual human on the other end.

Got a call on 5th March 2024 about some windows scrappage deal. I told them I wasn’t interested and just hung up. How come they’re still ringing me even though I’m on the TPS list?

Just said "Can you hear me?" When I replied "Yes." They just hung up. Have I been scammed?

Got a call about some driveway deal, kept hounding me non stop till I had to just hang up. I’m on the TPS list too, but doesn’t seem to bother them one bit!

Got a call about my driveway, total scam, they just kept ringing non stop.

Got a call from a landline, 01617682697, and all they said was “can you hear me?” Bit strange if you ask me.

I got a call from someone going on about whether I still had a driveway (like I’d just forgotten!) and what it was made from. They kept rambling about resin driveways and some offer they had, saying it might even get me in a fancy home mag or something. I barely managed to squeeze a word in before I just ended the call.

Got one of those driveway rip-off types calling me. I just told him to p*** off and then filed a complaint with the ICO about the number.

01617682697 just called but I missed it. They didn’t leave a voicemail or anything.

They keep ringing me about driveways even now. Pretty obvious they’re just dialing out at random since hardly any flats on the third floor would come with a driveway anyway.

Some bloke called himself ‘John’ and wondered if I’d still got a driveway. I’ve no clue how they got my number, I’m ex-directory and signed up with the TPS. Just ended up hanging up on him.

Just got a ring from 01617682697, but the line went dead right when I picked up. Weird!
2 years
They claimed to be from Driveway Centre and just kept talking without letting me say anything. I’m registered with TPS and X Directory, so they’re obviously ignoring the rules by calling me. When the bloke finally paused, I tried to say I didn’t want any calls, but he just hung up on me.

I reckon it was just one of those call centres ringing. They clearly didn’t bother checking the TPS and I’m sure that’s a GDPR no-no. Probably worth reporting it to Ofcom, if you ask me.

Answered the call with a flat 'hello' and instantly got the vibe it was one of those dodgy driveway companies. Something about the way they spoke made me think it was a scam. Definitely seemed like a typical scam caller to me.

Got two calls on my landline today but I didn’t pick up either time.

So, I got a call from some bloke called Driveway John - sounded like an AM XD & TPS spiel or somethin’. Didn’t wanna waste time, so I cut him off straight away and hung up.

Got a call from some resin driveway firm, and no matter how much I said I wasn’t interested, the bloke just kept on going with his spiel. Asked them to take me off their calling lists, and then he just hung up on me! Proper annoying.

Totally a scam. Good thing they didn’t have my right details. Real companies never ring you up wanting your personal info like that.

Got a call from someone about a resin driveway, told them I don’t have one, but they just kept going like they were reading from a script. Didn’t care what I said.

The number was unfamiliar, so I just let the phone ring out and didn’t pick up.

Ended up on my answerphone again - no one left a message like always. It was one of those call centres pushing stuff like insulation, boilers, or driveway work, claiming there’s some kind of “grant” ready to be claimed. Pretty annoying.

Got a call that just went straight to voicemail, ended up hanging up on some annoying scammer or telemarketer.

Got calls for two days straight from what said they were a driveway firm, kept using different phone numbers each time. Tried to explain I wasn’t interested but they just kept talking over me, so I just ended the call.

Was about driveways or sumthin, but kept gettin cut off so I just hung up.

Got two calls from them today, kept trying about some driveway thing. Proper nuisance and didn’t like it when I said no, kept pushing. Felt like harassment honestly.

They rang me twice in one hour, missed it the first time. When I finally answered, some bloke was going on about resin driveways and kept asking stuff about me even though I wasn’t interested. Thought it was a bit of a laugh to mess about and waste their time.
