I recently received a phone call from this number. The individual on the line pretended to be a lawyer and insisted that my vehicle had been involved in an accident, even referencing my previous car's registration details! Quite the dodgy situation, if you ask me.

They keep ringing me every day for about 2 weeks now. I block the number but then get another call around the same time the next day, from a slightly different number that looks alike, just the last few digits change. All of em seem to come from places near Manchester, Chorley, or Chester.

Had calls from loads of different numbers that seem to be linked to this one over the past month. I block one and then another pops up. Been on the TPS list for ages but it really doesn’t seem to help. Would recommend reporting it to Ofcom.

This number has called me twice within the last week or so. I'm based in Manchester and picked up the first time thinking it might be my GP or something important. Someone did talk but the line kept cutting out, so I just ended the call. It feels like one of those scam or telemarketer calls. I’m in the Bradford area now. I've blocked the number since then.

This number rang me AGAIN today. I was sure I’d blocked it but had a look at my blocked list and it only shows 3 other numbers with the (0161) prefix in England. Looks like they’re just changing a few digits to sneak past the block. I’m not daft enough to pick up these calls. Bloody scammers, like we don’t have enough to deal with already with the COVID-19 mess. What a bunch of muppets.

I recently discovered that the number 01618187987 has been linked back to a place known as the Virgin Money Lounge, specifically their Dessert Bar located on Brown Street in Manchester. It's fairly evident that they are taking advantage of the complimentary Wi-Fi there to carry out their cold calling shenanigans. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

Someone rang me saying it was about an accident I’d supposedly been in. I told them I hadn’t had any accidents and asked for more info. They then said it happened in the last year but couldn’t provide any real details. Afterwards, they said they’d dialled the wrong number. I asked what name they had on their system and they said none. I pressed for more info, but they started rambling about different departments and mentioned France, making no sense at all. I told them I didn’t believe a word they said and then they just hung up on me.

It seems I've had a bit of a mishap on the roads recently!

Didn’t pick up and no voicemail was left, so I’m guessing it’s one of those annoying calls about compensation.

Got three calls over the last few days, saying they wanted to offer compensation for a crash I was in a couple months back. They knew everything - my car reg number, the other driver’s details, the date, their name, and even my birthday. But they never said which company they were from or how they came by all that info. Feels a bit dodgy to me.
