01618182033 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618182033 👆 is reported as a phone number linked to multiple scams involving fraudulent claims of PPI refunds or broadband issues. Callers, often posing as BT representatives or claims advisors, use convincing tactics including personal details and promise cheque deliveries by a solicitor requiring upfront fees. Victims are pressured to pay sums via credit card or PayPoint before receiving supposed refunds. The calls frequently feature foreign-accented individuals, poor connection quality, and vanish if questioned. Numerous reports stress the importance of verifying independently, as genuine companies would not demand payments to release funds. Elderly and vulnerable individuals appear to be common targets. Overall, it is strongly advised to treat such calls with caution, not to disclose personal information, and report suspicious activity to official fraud prevention authorities.
Reports on phone number 01618182033
11 yearsSomebody called claiming to be Andrea Watson from BT, saying they'd spotted weird activity on my internet and asked me to switch on my PC so they could inspect it. Feeling a bit iffy, I told her I'd ring BT myself to verify. She gave me a number, 0161 818 6977. When I rang the proper BT customer service line on 0800, they straight up said no-one from their team had phoned me. Definitely a dodgy call.Andrea WatsonBT11 yearsI got a call from 01618186977, some woman with an Indian accent claiming to be Lisa Williams from BT. She told me there was some dodgy activity going on with our internet and wanted me to switch my laptop on. I told her my husband usually sorts our broadband and he wouldn’t be back until around 6:30. She said she’d ring again in the morning, and I told her 7am would be better since that’s before my husband leaves for work. I’m always wary of cold calls like this and never hand over any details unless I’m certain who they really are.Lisa WilliamsBT11 yearsJust got a call from 01612553890, same old story. Some bloke called Alan Harper said he’d be dropping off a cheque. It’s so annoying because they already know all the details from my loan - name, address, dates and all. I told them I'd pay the £100 once the cheque cleared, but apparently that wasn’t good enough so I just hung up. Total scam if you ask me.Alan Harper12 yearsIs this claims advisory firm on the level? Just wondering if it's the real deal.12 yearsSomething similar just happened to me. The exact situation, really. When I began asking them questions, they ended up hanging up on me.12 yearsThis morning I got a call from this number and some bloke said I was owed £2700 in PPI compensation. He mentioned the delivery team would get in touch, and sure enough, a woman called me later saying a chap named Alan Harper would bring the cheque by 11:30. But she told me I'd have to pay him £100 upfront. I told her I didn't have that cash, and then she just said, "Alright, so you don’t want your money," and hung up. Proper scam if you ask me. Still, it fooled me a bit ‘cause the dates and bank they mentioned matched the place I’d taken the loan from.Alan Harper12 yearsGot a call on my mobile, picked up and all I heard was silence, then they hung up right away! Added them straight to my block list. Now trying to come up with a quick message to screen these annoying calls.12 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady who said some solicitor would be dropping by my place with a cheque for £2700. Apparently, I need to pay a £100 fee first. Sounds kinda dodgy to me - why would a solicitor come to my house in person with a cheque? I’m pretty sure this is a scam, so I’m not giving them any cash.12 yearsCan anyone tell me who was ringing from number 7?12 yearsI got a call from an Asian lady who told me, just like others have said here, that a solicitor named Alan Hubbard was sending me £2970 today. I pointed out that it was a bank holiday Monday so it seemed odd to be contacted about such things then. She abruptly ended the call, saying someone else would ring soon to arrange the cheque delivery. Later, another Asian woman rang about five minutes after, and I told her straight up it was all a scam. As soon as I said that, the phone went dead on me.Alan HubbardSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 2033)
