Phone number ☎️ 01617778890 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number targeting people with fake PPI compensation claims, often around £2,000 to £3,000. Callers use thick Indian or foreign accents and pressure victims to take out life insurance policies to access the supposed money. They ask for bank details but provide confusing or false reasons, sometimes threatening or using rude language when challenged. The scam is linked to fake claims and commissions from insurance sales, not real payouts, and victims report multiple calls in short periods, often from changing numbers. Many warn to avoid engagement as it’s linked to fraud, pressure sales, and attempts to steal personal information. The number is repeatedly reported to authorities but continues to harass callers.

8 yearsGot a ring earlier from a Manchester line, 0161 182 2300, claiming I’m eligible for a payout up to £3000 after a car crash I had. They specifically said it’s not PPI or anything like that. Bit fishy if you ask me, considering the accident happened about 4 months back. They’re probably gonna call me again, no doubt about it.Manchester8 yearsCheers for all the feedback guys! I’m definitely not gonna block unknown numbers on my phone. Would really recommend everyone to check out what others are saying before deciding.8 yearsI got a call from some bloke saying I won £2300 from a PPI payout, but first I needed to get a quote for life insurance. Then they started asking for my bank info - total scam, watch out!8 yearsJust like others here, I got a couple of calls from mobiles saying I had a £3,000 cheque waiting, but only if I took out a life insurance policy first. It sounded dodgy straight away and when I questioned them, they got really rude. They said they worked for Claims Direct or something like that. Their accents were so strong, I could barely make out what they were saying. I've passed this on to the FCA and also Action Fraud. Watch out for these scammers, they’re not to be trusted!Claims DirectFCAAction Fraud8 yearsGot a call from this number plus a few other mobile ones saying I was owed about £1800 for a PPI claim. Never even filed one! When I asked how it was possible, they couldn't give a straight answer. Then they said I'd have to take a 1-month life insurance policy to get the cash, but also told me not to mention the PPI claim if I spoke to their advisor. Sounds fishy as hell, totally a scam. Best to just ignore and not pick up.8 yearsThese lot rang up and said I was owed about £2000 for some sort of personal injury thing. Then they tried to get me to start a life insurance claim and begged for my bank sort code and account details to sort out the money. Total scam, proper con artists!!!8 yearsGot a call from this number the other day. Some bloke with an Asian accent was on the other end, and when I told him I was only 16, he said he was the same age. Then he asked if we could be mates and wanted my Facebook username. Bit strange if you ask me.Facebook8 yearsOnce I ended the call, within just a couple of minutes I got bombarded with around 10 calls from three separate numbers. One was even the same mobile number, but this time it showed up as if it was dialling from the States... Quite creepy really.States8 yearsHad a call from some aggressive bloke claiming it was about PPI. Proper unpleasant and felt like he was up to no good. Definitely dodgy.8 yearsHonestly, someone really needs to get the police involved with this caller. They’re super persuasive and could seriously trick people who aren’t careful, especially those more vulnerable.8 yearsFirst, I got a call on my mobile from these lot - I could tell it was a scam straight away, so I just ended the call. Then they rang me back on my landline, and out of nowhere, the bloke started shouting racist insults at me. Judging by how he sounded, he was only really putting himself down. Honestly, best to steer clear of these people.8 yearsWatch out, this PPI scam is seriously risky!8 yearsI got a call that sounded exactly like what others described. A bloke with a strong Indian accent claiming I owed £2700. He said the bank would hit me with a £2200 fee to cash a cheque, but if I bought insurance, I’d get the full sum. I told him I'd rather have nothing than lose that much money. When I asked who he was working for, he said some UK finance department, not a company. I quickly googled while still on the line and it screamed SCAM. I told him I wasn’t interested and not to bother calling again. We’ll see if he respects that...UK8 yearsI got calls from this number like five times in just ten minutes. A lady with a strong foreign accent spoke, seemed like she was reading from some kind of script, but honestly it was hard to understand her. I did manage to hear something about me owing £2,000 or maybe being owed it, not quite sure. I told her I thought it was a scam and then she just ended the call. Would definitely steer well clear of this one.8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were part of the PPI department at a UK finance firm. They told me they had a cheque for £2700 headed my way, and they already had all my details - my full name and address. They said my bank would charge me £1500 to cash it, which I told them sounded dodgy. After that, they just ended the call on me.PPIUK8 yearsI got a call from some company saying I was owed like £3000 for a PPI claim, but they refused to say who they were. I humoured them for a bit and it turned out all they wanted was to sell me a new insurance. Avoid it! They claim the insurance is connected to the PPI claim and signing up somehow gives you permission to claim the money. Complete rubbish if you ask me!!!Submit Your Own Report (0161 777 8890)
