01617993971 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617993971 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam call often ignoring requests to opt out or have your number removed. Callers frequently become hostile when challenged, continuing to harass and interrupt conversations. Blocking these calls is rarely effective as scammers use countless spoofed or fake UK numbers, often real people’s numbers or part of Wangiri scams. The scammers’ tactics include insisting you requested contact and refusing to take ‘no’ for an answer. This issue is linked to large foreign criminal gangs running sophisticated tax-free scams. Reporting all scam attempts to police through official channels like Action Fraud is encouraged to help tackle the problem. Public awareness and action, including contacting MPs about prevention measures, are vital to combat these ongoing scams.

You can't just say no thanks and end it. They keep talking over you and won’t remove your number even when you ask. Really pushy about claiming you must have agreed to the call. They keep asking why you’re backing out, even tho it’s obvious they’re phishing and you never wanted any of it.

They kept cutting me off and pretty much said it didn't matter if I was on the TPS list or anything, I had to hear them out first.

When I told them to remove my number, they got really pushy and irritated.

I received a rather pushy and hostile phone call from these scammers. They seemed convinced that I had requested to hear from them, and when I firmly said I hadn’t, they became increasingly agitated and confrontational. If you encounter them, do yourself a favour and block the number immediately!

Awful experience with the customer service. I ended the call, but then he rang me back straight away and wouldn’t let me say a word. When I tried to tell him I wasn't interested, he just wouldn’t let me hang up. So frustrating!
