01618187868 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618187868 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number linked to fraudulent calls about debts, accidents, and fake investigations, often with foreign accents and poor English. Callers use threatening or rude tactics, claim to be from official agencies like HMRC or debt advice services, and frequently change their number slightly to bypass blocks. Many victims receive calls at inconvenient times, causing distress. Blocking is largely ineffective due to number spoofing and automated systems generating new numbers continuously. Users are strongly advised to report all scam calls and texts via official police fraud websites and forward suspicious messages to authorities. Engaging with MPs to push for stronger caller ID authentication technology in the UK is also recommended to help combat these ongoing scams.

Is this about an accident I was involved in, but it wasn’t my fault, yeah?

I received a call from this number at an unearthly hour of 3:43 am. It’s quite unsettling to get such late-night interruptions, as one can’t help but dread the news it may bring. I kindly ask for it to be blocked, as it's a source of great anxiety.

I reckon these lot grab your number from Gumtree or somewhere, I’d just posted an ad for a keyboard and they rang me right away about some car crash. When I told them to do one, they told me to shove my Gumtree keyboard where the sun don’t shine! Proper charming!

‭0161 818 7868‬ - If you’re gonna try and scam me, atleast speak properly so I can understand you! Saying I owe money or some dodgy loan with no company name doesn’t really work on me 🙄😂

No one spoke when I answered.

Got a call from Debt Advice Services claiming they deal with unsecured loans. I asked a few questions and the bloke just ended the call. I called back and they told me they’re FSA registered and follow all the laws. When I probed about what debt I supposedly owe and mentioned reporting them, they said do what you want. Definitely a dodgy debt management outfit targeting people who don’t know better. If you get a call, just block it.

Is there any way to make them stop ringing me like 3 or 4 times a day? It’s getting really annoying.

I've got #### on my phone so it stopped this number without me even having to do anything. I still come here just to double check, but I'll be adding it to my blocked numbers on my phone too now.

Got a call from someone abroad claiming to be from a debt help company. When I asked how they got my number and if they had proper permission to ring me under GDPR rules, they just hung up on me.

Some guy with a strange accent rang up saying I owed money. When I asked where he got that from, he said I’d filled out a form about it recently. I told him I hadn’t filled out anything and didn’t owe a penny. Then he just dropped the call on me!!

Got a call from an Asian lady who spoke really poor English, telling me I owed money and that she’d help me clear it. Then she started asking for my bank details like account number and sort code to sort it out. I knew straight away it was a scam since I don’t have any debts. Honestly, why do these dodgy folks keep bothering people like this? It’s so frustrating.

Just got a call from some bloke claiming I owe money. I asked him where he dug up my info from and told him to get his boss on the line. Honestly, I’m absolutely livid they’re using info that’s two years old, especially after my husband passed away. I've cleared all my debts now, no idea why they’re bothering me.
