Phone number ☎️ 01617988586 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance, often linked to a company identifying as Claiming 4U or similar, frequently making unsolicited calls about potential compensation claims related to past investments, flights, or pensions. Callers sometimes request sensitive personal information but provide vague or unconvincing details, raising suspicions of fraudulent activity. Many recipients describe repeated daily calls despite requests to cease contact, with some reports suggesting the calls originate from the Manchester/Salford area. While a few users claim legitimate compensation assistance, the majority warn of scams, identity theft risks, and harassment. It is advisable to exercise caution, avoid sharing personal details, and report such calls to the appropriate authorities. Blocking the number and seeking advice from official consumer protection organisations is recommended.
Reports on phone number 01617988586
5 yearsSounded like a scam, kept avoiding saying the company name when I asked. Seemed like they just wanted info from me.5 yearsGot a call claiming to be from BT about my internet. The caller knew my name and address but something felt off. The person spoke with an Indian accent and there was a weird delay before they answered. They told me to check my internet straight away, and that's when I just ended the call!BT7 yearsGot a letter from something called Claiming 4 You, saying I put money into Providence Bonds and lost it. They say Claiming 4 You is just a trading name, and their main office is mentioned. One of the phone numbers on the letter is (01617988586). They’ve rung me before, but I blocked that number. I’m going to check with a financial advisor on how to report this properly before doing anything else.Claiming 4 YouProvidence Bonds8 yearsGot two calls before 9:30, didn’t pick up cos I didn’t know the number.8 yearsHonestly, I wouldn’t believe the positive reviews on here, they’re probably fake to make the company look legit. This place is a scam and all they want is your info so they can steal your identity and empty your accounts. Just steer clear and don’t trust them at all.8 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy who said it was a payphone and then mentioned only men are around. I just blocked the number straight away.8 yearsThey kept ringin me over and over - one time it was just some automated voice. When I dialled back, it gave me a choice to "opt out".9 yearsThey say 4U called me previously. Now they’re saying I can get compensation for bad investment advice from Willis Owen. But they’re asking for my passport, driving licence, and other personal info before moving forward. Feels a bit off, don’t you think?4UWillis Owen9 yearsThis number has been phoning our landline non stop for more than a week, sometimes even twice daily! They’re clearly scammers calling from somewhere around Manchester!Manchester9 yearsClaiming 4U have really taken things to another level. Instead of just getting calls, I actually got a letter from them at my job. That made me wary straight away so I looked up the phone number on the letter. After seeing the reviews here, it’s clear to me this is a dodgy scheme. I’d say, steer clear and don’t respond to anything from Claiming 4U.Claiming 4U9 yearsThis caller said they were checking on my husband’s pension like he told them to, but honestly, my husband barely ever answers or makes calls unless I push him. Definitely a scammer.9 yearsThey keep saying it’s for you but it’s just a scam company.9 yearsC4u is just a scam company trying to cheat people.9 yearsI've asked them loads of times to stop calling but they still ring me daily. It's really starting to get on my nerves!9 yearsThey go by Claiming4u or sometimes C4U. They collect info in a dodgy way. I told the MOJ about it, they’ll probably get fined but dont expect them to close this lot down.Ministry of Justice9 yearsClaims4you calling me. Blocked straight away.10 yearsSome random cold call from who I think was Claim4U, kept bugging my Dad about some boiler room scam that happened ages ago.10 yearsIt’s from a call centre called Claim4u. If you want these annoying calls to stop, go to [spam website] and put your info in.10 yearsLike a few others have said, I got a call out of the blue saying some shares I supposedly owned were now worthless and they wanted to know if I wanted to claim any sort of compensation.10 years4u helped us get compensation for a couple of things, they were great. I also got the letter and it was just an error.10 yearscold calls just trying to find someone for a no win no fee case, nothing real about it.11 yearsclaiming4u managed to get me the compensation i was owed after my flight got delayed and i was sold bad shares, top service!Claiming4u11 yearsI received a call on my mobile from this number, claiming my flight had been postponed. I told the caller that it was utter nonsense and suggested she find a decent job instead. Shortly after, she called me again, fuming, insisting that I had provided them with my contact details, which I certainly hadn't! I've since added the number to my block list. - caller: Not a clue!11 yearsGot a call out of nowhere from some place called 4u, said they’re based in Salford. They reckoned I bought shares through a broker ages ago and might be able to claim some compensation. Bit fishy if you ask me.Claiming 4USalford11 yearsGot a letter after a call on my mobile, said it was about ‘delay with Thomas Cook’. The letter had no signature and looked a bit dodgy. It mentioned being regulated by the claims management regulator (another bloomin’ government body, I suppose?). Thing is, I haven’t been abroad in over 3 years and never used Thomas Cook for any flights. Proper suspicious this one.Thomas Cook11 yearsI've been receiving unsolicited calls on my mobile, and then I get a follow-up letter that states, 'I attempted to reach you at [mobile number mentioned]'. Oddly enough, there's no signature at the end, and the topic listed is 'delay issues with Thomas Cook'. It seems this outfit is under the watchful eye of the claims management regulator (just another government agency, isn’t it?). Just to clarify, I haven’t travelled abroad in the past three years and have never booked a flight with Thomas Cook. This feels like a blatant breach of the Claims Management Services Regulations. - The caller is from Claiming 4 U.Thomas CookClaims Management Services11 yearsI've been inundated with bothersome phone calls lately. They just won't let up!11 yearsno idea reallySubmit Your Own Report (0161 798 8586)
