Reports on phone number 01617684997
4 monthsAccording to the site, this number hasn’t been used for 3 years, so I thought I’d share my experience... I got a new phone and number, so I haven’t used this one in about 8 days. However, when I switched it back on today, I noticed missed calls but no voicemail. Weirdly, this number has called me 14 times over the last 5 days, so it’s definitely still being used somehow. No clue what's going on.3 yearsThe lady was talking something about PPI or whatever, but I have no clue what she meant and I don’t have any. It was so confusing I just hung up. Pretty clear it was a scam in my opinion.3 yearsSomebody rang saying they were debt minimisers and could slash up to 60% off what I owe. I played along for a bit, then told them I’ve got no debts at all. They seemed properly stunned before just hanging up on me.5 yearsI received a call at 3:00 PM on the 2nd of December, 2021, regarding my PPI refund. I reckon it was a total scam. Proceed with caution, folks! 🕵️♂️🚫5 yearsComplete scam! Definitely not from Manchester, but sounds like some call centre based out in India. They said they were from the "ppi tax office" which sounded dodgy straight away. Then they asked for me by my maiden name - huge red flag, as I never use that anymore and anytime they do, it’s just spam or telemarketers. Haven't used that surname in almost 7 years!ManchesterIndia5 yearsI got a call from 0161 768 4997 and the person claimed to be with some PPI team. I told them everything was already taken care of, then they asked if I had got my tax refund or something. I just said yeah, all good, and then they ended the call. Figured it was a scam right away so I blocked the number straight away.PPI5 yearsi got a call earlier today, there was a pause before anyone spoke and then it was an asian voice with a strong accent. after a few words the line just cut out. then a bit later, they called me again. this time they brought up ppi and i told them i didn’t have any. they hung up straight away. the second person spoke pretty clear english and sounded like they were from up north. definitely seemed dodgy to me.PPI5 yearsJust got a call from 01617684997, seems like a dodgy scam probably pif related or something dodgy from hmre. Watch out folks!5 yearsCaller said something about a tax refund so i just hung up straight away.5 yearsI'm receiving a multitude of these mysterious calls lately and have no clue who's behind them. I tend to ignore them, but the constant interruptions are absolutely infuriating. Is there truly no solution to this headache?5 yearsSounds like one of those dodgy PPI scam calls to me.FraudulentPPI5 yearsAs a Yorkshire lad, I’m always a bit wary of calls coming from Manchester, and this one was no different. Thought it was one of those HMRC scams again. So I told the caller I was a private investigator and asked what their connection to the deceased was. They didn’t say another word and just ended the call.YorkshireManchesterHMRC5 yearsYeah, those PPI people are total scammers, it's just ridiculous!5 yearsJust saw the missed call, and after checking what others have said here, I'm going to block the number straight away.5 yearsjust got a call that was definitely some kind of scam, so annoying!5 yearsGot a call from 01617684997 but they didn’t leave any voicemail. So I rang back and got this recorded message talking about some tax rebate for a ppi claim. I hung up straight away and blocked the number. I’m actually due some money, so if they’re legit they can just send a cheque and a proper letter in the post. Feels dodgy though, especially since I already got my ppi payout a few years back.5 yearsI gotta admit, they’re seriously persistent. 01617684997 has called me a couple times just today, and loads over the past week too. Not once have they left a voicemail. I usually don’t pick up if I don’t know the number, so it’s a bit weird. I was under the impression the government had cracked down on these annoying cold calls by now.5 yearsMy mum, who’s 75, got a call from +44 161 768 4997. They threatened to arrest her over some supposed tax evasion! I told her she should’ve asked them to come over, I’d have quite liked to see who these so-called officers from Greater Manchester Police were. Just a bunch of filthy, scamming lowlifes if you ask me. Never met such dishonest rubbish in my life.Greater Manchester Police5 yearsThis guy said he was from HMRC, but had a really thick Asian accent and sounded totally unprofessional. He was trying to tell me I owed some cash, but as soon as I started messing around with him and being sarcastic, he just cut the call.HMRC5 yearssomeone rang up, asking for me by name and said there was a ppi refund for me. i told them i couldnt chat at the moment, and they got really rude about it! so i just ended the call straight away.5 yearsThis number, 01617684997, has popped up a few times over the past week but whenever I answer, it just cuts off straight away. Pretty annoying!5 yearsGot a dodgy cold call from this number, so I've gone ahead and blocked it. Totally not legal, if you ask me.5 yearsSounds like a total scam to me. They said they were calling from HMRC and that legal action was being taken against me. Definitely dodgy.HMRC5 yearsLately, I've been getting loads of calls from 0161 numbers but there's no reason for me to be getting them so I just let them ring out. Today, I decided to pick up just to see who might be calling. I stayed quiet on the line but then the call suddenly ended. Feels like it was either a scam or some annoying spam call.Submit Your Own Report (0161 768 4997)
