Phone number ☎️ 01617915522 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to an Indian or foreign call centre pushing energy scams and card machine sales. Callers often have strong accents, speak quickly, and are difficult to understand, leading many to suspect fraudulent intent. They repeatedly attempt to sell business loans, electricity contracts, and card machines, ignoring refusals and the TPS registration of recipients. Many report multiple calls a day or week, with some alleging harassment and data protection breaches. The callers use fake company names or claim links to well-known firms, but often provide vague or inconsistent details. Voicemails sometimes feature noisy call centres. Overall, this number is widely distrusted and regarded as a time-wasting scammer hotspot.

10 monthsThis number is dodgy - they’re energy broker scammers for sure. Best thing to do is just hang up and block them straight away. Don’t waste your time!11 monthsGot a call from some bloke in India claiming he had card machines, electric and gas deals, plus a free business loan offer. Spent more than an hour chatting rubbish about my car, my dogs and the kids - he was proper keen at first. After a while he just gave up. Honestly, the best way to piss them off is to keep them on the line yakking away! 😂India1 yearThere was this guy with a really thick Indian accent - honestly, I could barely catch what he was saying, especially when he got all excited and started speaking rapidly. He kept insisting our electric bills were way too high and just wouldn't quit when we said no. Proper annoying!1 yearI usually just say I’m from the TPS and that I’ll report them, usually they hang up pretty quick after that.Telephone Preference Service1 yearTotally dodgy scam call operation!!!1 yearThis morning I got a call and they left a voicemail. In the background, there were loads of men talking loudly in Hindi, all crowded in one room. It was really hard to make out what they were even saying. Watch out for this kind of thing!2 yearsClassic scam from one of those Indian call centres!India2 yearsGot one of those annoying spam calls on Boxing Day night, so I just blocked the number straight away. So annoying! 😠 #nothanks2 yearsThis morning, 19/12/24, I received a call from someone claiming to be with EE, trying to offer me a discount. I told them I’d ring EE myself if I wanted to make any changes, then just hung up. I reckon they picked me out because I’m 76, but I’m pretty good at spotting dodgy calls these days. Anytime they ask for money or bank details, I just end the call straight away.EE2 yearsthis guy with a heavy accent called me speaking in some language i struggled to get, after finally understanding, he was pitching card machines. i told him no cheers and then blocked the number. honestly, if i got a quid for each dodgy caller or hassle i get, i'd be living the dream retired by now!2 yearsThey’ve rung a few times now, but after reading some bad reviews on here, we just don’t answer.2 yearsI just ended up blocking the number.2 yearsGot another call pretending to be from my utility company, total scam!2 yearsToday, this number rang me up three separate times. On the third ring, I finally picked up, and it was a man with a foreign accent talking about something to do with electricity. I just hung up straight away and have since blocked the number.2 yearsWatch out, that O2 number's a total scam!!!2 yearsI got a call on my work landline from a guy with a foreign accent. He was asking about my electricity deal and wanted some of my personal info, which I definitely didn’t hand over.2 yearsSome numpty called, gave a rubbish name and wouldn’t say what company they were from. I’m on the TPS too, so guess that didn’t stop them at all... bit pointless really.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a strange accent claiming to be from some call centre. He wanted to chat about my electricity deal but kept dodging where exactly he worked. Proper fishy if you ask me.2 yearsGot calls from different numbers today, all about an electricity contract. Told them I wasn’t interested, but the same person kept ringing me back.2 yearsI really couldnt grasp a word he said, it was all just nonsense to me. Before I could say anything back, he suddenly ended the call.2 yearsSomeone rang me up to chat about card machines, see if we had one or maybe wanted to get one. I just told them we didn’t need one and they hung up straight after.2 yearsGot a call from some people in the Middle East saying they were from "Emergency Power" about my electricity. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.Middle East2 yearsI've had this number ring me up thrice this week already. Every time I told them to stop calling because it’s obviously some sort of scam. Today, the bloke on the line was really stubborn, even insisted he hadn’t rung me before. Honestly, the ICO should step in and sort out these data privacy issues and stop this annoying harassment. Stay away from this number!ICO2 yearsGot a call from a lady asking if we were using any card payment machines for our business. I said no, and straight away she just hung up on me.2 yearsI had a random call from a bloke wanting to know when my current energy deal ran out. I get flooded with these kinds of calls, and as soon as someone with an Indian accent, claiming to be "John," rings, I’m straight on guard. I always ask where they’re calling from - funny enough, they never seem to know. This time it was a Manchester number, but the git on the line couldn’t say where he actually was. Honestly, my top tip? Just treat these cold calls with utter contempt. Better yet, grab a whistle and blow it loud in their ears to show them what you think of their cheek!JohnManchester2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with the national grid. They sounded nice enough, but it was clear they were up to some kind of dodgy scam.2 yearsRang me several times yet didn’t bother to leave a message. Quite peculiar behaviour, if you ask me!2 yearsI’ve been receiving persistent unsolicited calls supposedly representing the national grid, attempting to persuade me to switch my energy supplier. We're a company registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so we shouldn’t be getting harassed like this. When I rang them back, they identified themselves as JHS Consultants, yet their official registration is with Vonage Limited. The calls come through at all hours, totally random and incredibly annoying.Telephone Preference ServiceJHS ConsultantsVonage Limited3 yearsGot a call from some scammer pretending to be my bank again. I just told them to find proper work instead of trying to trick people. Honestly, the police should catch more of these lot and send them packing.3 yearsGot a call from some bloke about energy stuff or something, but honestly I didn’t ask for it and barely said a word. It was just mucking about with my time, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number for good now.3 yearsThey rang me but didn´t bother to leave a message.3 yearsGot a call at work from this bloke with a weird accent talking about energy plans. When I told him I'd already put my number on the TPS, he just kept going like it was nothing. Proper annoying how they just ignore that.Telephone Preference Service3 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent called, said he was from EON, trying to persuade me to switch my energy supplier. I just told him I thought it was a dodgy call and ended it straight away.Submit Your Own Report (0161 791 5522)
