01618189897 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618189897 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated scam targeting individuals with false claims of PPI compensation, typically around £3000. Callers, often using Indian accents, impersonate company representatives and pressure victims to provide personal details and pay a £200 Amazon gift card fee upfront. They may arrange to send a “delivery person” to the victim’s home for ID verification and cheque presentation, further heightening suspicion. Victims are urged not to reveal addresses, buy gift cards, or engage with these callers. The operation exploits vulnerable people, including the elderly, using deceptive tactics and fake company names. Authorities and experienced users advise confirming such claims through official channels and treating unsolicited calls offering compensation with extreme caution.

7 yearsGot a call from 01618189897 saying I had a PPI claim and was supposedly entitled to £2500. Did a bit of digging and turns out it's a scam, so watch out everyone!7 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent telling me I won a PPI claim and to call her back. Something didn’t sit right with me, so I looked up the number and it seems like a total scam. Felt dodgy from the start.7 yearsI got a call saying I could claim £3000, but then they started asking loads of personal stuff like where I live and my postcode. It definitely feels like a scam to me.7 yearsThis person said I could claim £3,000 and that a police officer would be at my place within 90 minutes. They asked me to verify their badge and then confirm my ID using my bank card, plus sign a document right there. I told them there’s no way I’d sign something outside my door. They just ended the call. Definitely sounds like a con!7 yearsI got a phone call saying I owed £3,000 from some PPI claim, which was strange since I never even made a claim for that! They kept probing for details like my address and postcode, which felt really suspicious. Honestly, it seems like a total scam to me - don’t waste your time with them!7 yearsHey, just got back and saw a voicemail from some bloke called Alex from my answering service. He said I’d won £3000 from a PPI claim and that I needed to get in touch with him straight away to get the cash. He didn’t sound legit at all, so I looked up the number and saw all these comments saying it’s a scam. No way I’m calling back!Alex7 yearsGot a call saying I was due £3000 and some agent would visit me. I told them to just send it by post instead, then they hung up. Definitely a scam 😃7 yearsSomething very similar just happened to me. They claimed £3000 was owed and demanded a £200 Amazon voucher straight away, saying someone would show up at my place in an hour and a half, then another person in 45 minutes. I told them I couldn’t afford the voucher so just deduct it from my payment instead. They said they’d check with their supervisor and get back to me. Now I’m just waiting to see if they actually call me back or not.Amazon7 yearsA caller claiming to be from Intersantum Services rang me up, saying something about a car accident and offering to help with a claim. I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything about that company, so it seems to me like it's just a made-up name for a scam trying to fish for info.Intersantum Services7 yearsI got a call from some automated woman saying I'd been in an accident - which I definitely haven’t, not for years anyway! These scams try to trick you into thinking there's big money coming your way, just to steal your card info in the end. So annoying!7 yearsGot a call from an Indian call centre where these scammers act like they’re from legit companies, just so they can gain your confidence and then try to nick your credit card info. They claimed there was a "CRASH I WAS INVOLVED IN, NOT MY FAULT". Total scam, watch out!7 yearsDefinitely a scam, don't trust it!7 yearsI got a call from a woman asking to talk to my mum about a “successful” claim worth £3000. Thing is, my mum passed away a year and a half ago, but they didn’t seem to care at all and said the money could just be given to me instead. When I asked if they could send it by post, they flat out refused and insisted it had to be handed over in person. I tried to get through to the manager to sort it out but they wouldn’t put me through either. Proper frustrating!7 yearsAbout ten minutes back, I got a call from the number 01618189897. The caller claimed I’d won £3000 from an old PPI claim. I decided to call them back on my mobile, and they said their business was called Consumer Claim Line. They asked me to pay £200 using an Amazon Gift Card. When I told them it sounded like a scam, they denied it. Then I mentioned I’m a retired police officer, which is true, and the woman on the line just got flustered and hung up.7 yearsSome lady called Jennifer saying I could claim £3000 from Halifax, but it was just a total PPI scam.JenniferHalifax7 yearsIt’s totally a rip-off, you buy the Amazon voucher and then they want the code on the back, next thing you know your £200 is gone. Don’t fall for this trick.Amazon7 yearsI’ve rung my mother-in-law and father-in-law quite a bit about this. They say they can help recover money from MBNA PPI claims even if the deadline’s gone. Apparently, you’ve got to pay them with a £200 Amazon voucher before they send you any cheque. Haven’t heard from anyone else on this yet, but honestly, it smells a bit dodgy to me.MBNA PPIAmazonSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 9897)
