Phone number ☎️ 01618186884 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls, primarily involving false claims about government schemes, tax issues, and boiler replacements. Callers often use automated threats of legal action or pose as official organisations like HMRC or DWP, attempting to extract personal information. Many recipients describe the calls as silent, confusing, or aggressive, frequently featuring individuals with South Asian accents.

Overall, the number is strongly linked to fraudulent activity and cold calls soliciting personal details or payments.
Reports on phone number 01618186884
5 yearsI didn't pick up the call, felt off somehow. Looks like one of those shady numbers, maybe a scam attempt or something dodgy. Wouldn't trust it.5 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy about some tax stuff, so I rang him right back and let him know exactly what I thought.5 yearsThey told me legal proceedings would be starting against me and advised to get in touch with my solicitor.5 yearsGot a call from a 0161 number again, just a few hours after the first one. This time, no voicemail was left. Pretty sure it’s a scam, so I just ignored it.5 yearsI got a phone call just a few minutes ago, but it kept ringing for ages without anyone picking up. I had a feeling it was one of those dodgy scam calls - turned out I was spot on!5 yearsI received a voicemail claiming to be from HMRC, warning me that I would face legal action unless I pressed "1." I promptly discarded the call and will be adding this number to my blocked contacts.HMRC5 yearsI received an automated message purporting to be from HMRC, threatening me with legal action if I didn't return their call. It's worth noting that HMRC typically sends communication via postal mail rather than phone calls.HMRC5 yearsReceived a rather dubious message claiming they're initiating legal proceedings against me. Clearly, it's a con! Beware and don't get trapped by it.5 yearsI found a voicemail from some automated voice saying I should call back quickly about a legal matter and that I’d require a solicitor. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.5 yearsSome bloke had the nerve to try and scam me about switching my boiler. Absolute muppet!5 yearsGot a call from 0161 818 6884, and it was an Indian woman with a very European-sounding name chatting about boilers. I wasn’t takin’ any chances and told her she sounded like a scammer before I quickly ended the call. Seems like BT’s shifting more of its call centres over to India nowadays, it’s all a bit dodgy if you ask me.India5 yearsI just had a rather dodgy call from a bloke with a South Asian accent who said he was representing the DWP. I swiftly put him in his place! It really makes you wonder, doesn’t it? How come phone providers let these scammers hijack the digits of legitimate businesses, probably doing it by the thousands? It's baffling!DWP5 yearsGot a call from an Asian man trying to pitch a free boiler. I just asked him to email me the details and then ended the call before sharing my address.5 yearsGot a call about a new government program for swapping out boilers here. Seemed dodgy to me, definitely a scam.5 yearsThey claimed it was some government help programme. Really sneaky how they’re using local area codes nowadays to try and trick people.5 yearsEarlier today, I received a rather peculiar phone call from an Asian gentleman who seemed quite insistent on probing me about my boiler situation. I must admit, I politely declined to engage and promptly hung up the phone. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time-just last week, I encountered a similar scenario. The caller bombarded me with inquiries regarding my heating system, the specifics of my residence, how many rooms it has, and whether I own or rent it. The most intrusive question, however, was about any benefits I might be receiving. When I replied in the negative, he curtly thanked me and hung up, essentially stating I wasn’t suitable for whatever scheme he was promoting. It certainly feels dodgy to me. I've taken the precaution of blocking that number now!5 yearsSome bloke with an Indian accent called me outta nowhere talking about selling a boiler or summat. Pretty sure it was a total con, so I just hung up straight away.5 yearsGot a dodgy call about my boiler saying it was ancient, but it's actually pretty new. Total scam.5 yearsGot a call from some guy overseas trying to sell me a new boiler. I told him I wasn’t interested and he’d be wasting his breath.5 yearsGot a call from a blocked number but they didn’t leave any message on my machine. Seemed like one of those cold calls.5 yearsCalled me but noone said anything, just silence. Looks like a scam to me.5 yearsI keep getting calls from telemarketers even though I'm registered with the TPS. It's really annoying having to answer them over and over.Telephone Preference Service5 yearsGot a call today from someone saying they were with "Boiler Support". Seemed a bit fishy to me.Boiler Assistance5 yearsI had a chap named Bruce ring me up, keen to chat about my central heating boiler. When I mentioned that I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, he insisted it wasn’t a cold call at all. Quite the persistence, I must say!BruceTelephone Preference Service5 yearsGot two calls from them. The first one was from a bloke who said his name was Henry, sounded Asian. Then a different guy, also Asian, rang claiming he was from some government department. Definitely a scam, don't trust them.Henry5 yearsGot a call from this number but no one left a message. Came up as unknown on my phone. Pretty weird.5 yearsGot a call from someone pushing a new boiler installation. I just asked him how he manages to support 19 people working like that. He let it slide after that.5 yearsGot a call from ansafone but nothing was said, and the number was unfamiliar.5 yearsI didnt pick up but quickly googled it and found out its tied to a healthcare firm based in manchester. so if they were calling about boilers, its definitely dodgy. also folks should know that bt isn’t the only one renting out phone lines nowadays, and with number spoofing, 1471 just isnt reliable as it used to be.GoogleManchesterBT5 yearsA guy rang me up asking if I wanted a free boiler through some government plan. I said no thanks and he just hung up on me straight away. Total scammer!5 yearsI just didn't pick up since the number wasn’t saved, and then I blocked it right away.5 yearsGot a call about my boiler warranty needing renewing. When I asked where they were calling from, she said London but the number showed up as a Manchester code. This happened twice yesterday and again today. It's so frustrating! Maybe she’s travelling about or something, but ringing from a London spot with a 0161 number makes no sense. These scams are so irritating - they really should do something about people leasing phone numbers for this stuff.LondonManchesterBTSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 6884)
