01618200862 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618200862 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance, primarily involving automated calls about boiler schemes targeting vulnerable groups such as those on benefits or tax credits. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or having ex-directory numbers, these calls continue relentlessly. Callers often hang up if questioned or when answering machines engage, making it impossible to return calls. Attempts to opt out via prompts are ineffective and frustrating, and the calls often spoof different numbers or use untraceable lines. Many suspect data breaches or misuse by energy firms supplying numbers to third parties. Users strongly advise not to answer, block the number, and report to TPS, while noting that telecom providers and regulators appear to lack enforcement power to curb these scams effectively.
Reports on phone number 01618200862
4 yearsI just let the call ring out without answering.9 yearsIf you want to completely block these annoying calls, head over to [spam website].9 yearsI keep getting calls from this scammer who uses an automated recorded message, trying to get folks on ESA and similar benefits to call them back. It's really annoying.ESA9 yearsSaid they were LifesEasy trying to sell boiler improvements under some government plan. Shut off the call as soon as I asked for more details about their identity. Tried calling back but the number just cuts out straight away.LifesEasy10 yearsI always skip calls from this number, seems pretty shady so I just block it. Seriously, why doesn’t BT keep a tighter watch on these?BT10 yearsSo frustrating when the answer machine kicks in and they hang up right away, and then they say if you wanna opt out just press 9.10 yearsI usually just let unknown numbers go to voicemail, sometimes it picks up an automated message. After that, I come here to see if others have had the same calls or if it’s some kind of harassment. My number’s also on the TPS list and it's ex-directory. Honestly, I don’t get what these callers are after, do they really get anyone to pay for their services? TPS seems either clueless or overwhelmed!Telephone Preference ServiceTPS10 yearsWhen is BT gonna do something about these dodgy callers? If I broke comms rules, I’m sure I’d be in trouble! Seems they’d rather hassle a random bloke than go after the big firms, right? Kinda like HMRC letting Google off with millions while they chase me for a measly 50 quid. Ridiculous!BTHMRCGoogle10 yearsDidn’t pick up - i never answer calls from Manchester, they’re always shady.Manchester10 yearsGot a spam call about changing my boiler, didn’t ask for it at all!10 yearsGot a scam call. If you want to block all of these, check out [spam website]. Works every time.10 yearsGot a voicemail, but it was cut off so couldn’t really make out what it was about, just something about needing to take action if we wanted to opt out. Lately, we’ve been getting loads of calls like this. We’re on the TPS list, but honestly, not sure it’s doing much good anymore. Seems like they don’t have enough power to stop these calls, plus they must be swamped with complaints as it is.TPS10 yearsBeen getting calls from these scam lot for ages now, and it’s driving me mad. Tried pressing 2 to get them off, but no luck, and 9 doesn’t even seem to do anything. Even shouting a few choice words down the phone hasn’t put a stop to them. How on earth do you fight these people back?10 yearsThis number won’t stop ringing, sounds like some sort of robot that needs turning off.10 yearsGot a call about a new boiler, which was a bit annoying as I don’t even have one. As soon as I answered, it turned out to be one of those automated messages. I’m on the TPS, so these calls shouldn’t be happening in the first place. Surely there’s no point having rules if they’re just ignored? Really frustrating!TPSTelephone Preference Service10 yearsCan someone please stop calling? This number keeps ringing non stop. I’ve never asked about a new boiler, so why keep bothering me?10 yearsThey rang me and made me go through a sub menu to try and opt out or press 1 if you get benefits, proper pain, especially since I'm on the TPS list. Definitely reporting these muppets!!!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsGot a new BT number, it’s ex-directory and signed up to TPS, only shared it with one relative but these idiots keep ringing anyway. Properly annoying fools.TPS10 yearsEven tho I blocked the number on my phone, it still shows up. It used to call me loads before I blocked it. Now my phone doesn’t ring but the number still shows on the caller ID. They normally ring about once a week.10 yearsI left a voicemail asking if anyone there was getting benefits or tax credits.10 yearsGot a lot of spam calls about tax credits and benefits. I never picked up, but they left a voicemail on my answerphone. They usually ring me like once a week at least.10 yearsI get these annoying calls all the time, so I just let my answerphone take them. Usually they hang up without saying a word. When they do leave a message, it’s normally about some boiler offer or a claim I apparently should be making. I've signed up with the supposedly helpful Telephone Preference Service, but honestly, it hasn’t stopped these calls one bit. It’s like they just ignore it completely.10 yearsGot a message on my phone about Tax Credit, seemed suspicious right away. When I tried calling the number back to sort things out, it just wouldn’t connect - said number unknown or something. Really frustrating how these annoying calls keep coming and no one in authority seems bothered to crack down on them. It’s a right pain having to deal with this nonsense all the time.10 yearsGot a robocall about a boiler.10 yearsGot a ring from this number, they asked to press 5 for more info or 9 to opt out. Funny thing is, nothing happened when I pressed 9 at all. Quite dodgy!10 yearsGot a robo call about a no-cost boiler deal.10 yearsIt was a total phone scam.10 yearsSome bloke rang up askin for my daughter, said it was about her 11th birthday coming up.10 yearsNo clue who it was - my BT8500 call guardian blocked it without even ringing. Most likely some sort of scam.10 yearsI didn't pick up the phone, but they left a voicemail asking if anyone at this address receives benefits or tax credits.10 yearsGot a recorded call from an automatic dialer about some boiler grant thing.10 yearsGot a really frustrating automated message about boilers again. I’ve just stopped picking up now.10 yearsThis is the first time this number has called me, and it definitely won’t be the last. Luckily, I’ve got a good call blocker set up! The TPS doesn’t do much - everyone moaning should just do what I did and get a proper call blocker. Easy peasy!10 yearsWould be great to know who these muppets are - same old nonsense as everyone else said. Just putting it on record!10 yearsGot a frustrating automated call about benefit stuff again.10 yearsThese calls are so irritating, especially that last "thank you for calling" bit which just annoys me. They ring you nonstop even if you ask them to stop. Trying to opt out does nothing. They really need to sort out these cold calls quickly. TPS seems pointless. And it's even worse when your answerphone picks up and you still get those calls.10 yearsTotally agree with everyone else here - a right bunch of annoying idiots. If they keep calling, pick up and ask straight up where they found your number. If they say it’s from some list, call them out on it, say you’ve never heard of that and keep pressing them for the source. Usually, they get annoyed and just hang up! Best part? They tend to not call back after that. Beyond that, it’s really tricky to know what to do. One thing I’m curious about - has anyone here had dealings with Help-Link? Could be they’re the ones sharing your number around.10 yearsI’ve already reported them to the TPS since I’m signed up and shouldn’t be getting these cold calls. If businesses keep ignoring the TPS regulations, we’ll all just get swamped with annoying calls.Telephone Preference ServiceTPS10 yearsGot another prerecorded call about a “free boiler”. At least this time the number was a real 11 digits. Ive had tons of these calls with the exact same recorded msg but from fake 10 digit numbers that aren’t even real! It’s like they don’t care about the TPS at all.10 yearsGot a call I didn’t want even tho I’m signed up with the TPS! So annoying!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsGot a call about some boiler stuff, even tho I’m on the TPS, dunno why they keep ringing me. Seems like it aint doin any good.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsKept jabbering about boilers and asking if I get any benefits. Said they were from a firm named LifeIsEasy. Such a persistent pain.Chatter10 yearsThese calls are such a pain. Got three in just two days, all this nonsense about free boilers. Why won’t someone put an end to these pests bothering older folk???10 yearsThis number has been ringing me for two days straight, asking questions about benefits. I've put in a complaint with the TPS. The more folks report, the faster TPS can sort them out. If you wanna complain, go to [#]complaints.tpsonline[###][###]/consumerTelephone Preference Service10 yearsBeen getting these recorded calls from them loads recently. Today they asked if I’m on benefits but didn’t say why or anything.10 yearsGot an automated call about boilers from a number that's supposedly TPS registered. This company is clearly breaking Ofcom rules.TPSOfcom10 yearsI reckon the council must have handed out our phone numbers somewhere, cos I’m gettin loads of calls now. Best not to share your number with just anyone.10 yearsGot a recorded message about free boilers. Honestly, they should put the personal numbers of the company bosses online. Blowing up their mobiles all night might make them think twice before disturbing innocent folks. We’re on the TPS list and its definitely a UK number. Why isn’t there any legal action against this?TPS10 yearsGot a recorded call about some boiler grant. Utterly annoying! Why is this spam stuff even allowed?????10 yearsI was having my tea at about 6 this evening when the phone rang. I couldn't get to it quick enough and my voicemail picked up, and then they just ended the call right away.10 yearsI was really hoping the TPS had sorted this out for good, but nope, after a couple weeks without the automated calls they’re back again. I’ve flagged it every time, always comes right after an international call. Let them keep spending on their calls if they want, but surely the TPS or whoever can actually slap them with a proper fine?TPS10 yearsGot a call from 01618200862 while I was just watching BBC1 News and having my dinner on a tray. Had to stop the telly, leave my food and pick up the phone. Some bloke going on about boilers. Used 1471 and saw it was that number. Proper pain in the neck.BBC1 News10 yearsHonestly, I just want to tell these muppets to jog on. I never hand out my landline number, so how on earth did they manage to get it? I signed up for the call blocking list ages ago and it’s done nothing, plus we’ve never even been listed in the phone directory.10 yearsI've been blocking all calls from this code for ages, and I try to block the others that look similar as well (fingers crossed). They still manage to bug me non-stop though. Lately there’s been loads more from international and private numbers too, which is just as annoying.10 yearsGot another annoying call about boilers. Really didn’t want that.10 yearsHonestly, I was about ready to chuck my phone in the bin it was so annoying with all the unwanted calls. Then I got BT Call Protect, and wow, what a difference! Since turning it on, the nuisance calls have all but stopped, and it even blocks calls from private numbers. Best part is, it's free if you have BT on your line. We’ve finally got some peace and quiet in the house! Definitely recommend everyone with BT to give it a go - it's seriously worth it.BT10 yearsSame here, not a fan at all. I got in touch with British Gas and they said they'd forward my info to their marketing team. You might want to tell them as well.British Gas10 yearsGot a voicemail about boiler repairs or something. Proper irritating.10 yearsAnother spam call yet again. Didn’t pick up but looks like my number’s being shared around somehow. No idea how they get hold of info from the directory, it’s so annoying. Proper fed up now. BT really needs to fix this mess!!!!!!BT10 years0161 820 0862 called me at 2:06pm on 14th February 2016. I got the answering machine but they didn't leave any message.10 yearsAnnoying calls all the time at different hours and on random days. I’m signed up with the official Do Not Call list but still get them. Wish there was a proper way to block these pesky calls for good. I never pick up now, just let the answerphone get them since I’ve got caller ID.General Public ServiceGPS10 yearsGot a call just now from an 0161 number, let it ring till voice mail since seemed like a scam. Didn’t leave a message, and after checking the other reviews I’ve blocked the number.10 yearsOn Tuesday 14th Feb, around 2:06 in the afternoon, it went straight to my voicemail. I just left it and ended the call.10 yearsHow hard is it for these idiots to just leave their name and a real number if they want to talk? I’m sick of getting silent calls all the time, just another one to add to my block list. I also wish there was some way to stop calls from “private numbers”, “out of area” or just “incoming call” since I get loads of those too.10 yearsGot a call from this number once more today, 13/02/2017, going on about home heating boilers. I hung up after a few seconds. When I tried to call back, it wouldn’t pick up any calls.10 yearsGot a call today but wasn’t home, and they didn’t leave any message.10 yearsI just ended the call as soon as it went to voicemail.10 years01618200862 rang me today on 10/02/17, was completely silent and then just ended the call. really annoying!10 yearsCalled me at about 1.15pm today. I picked up but nobody spoke, then they just ended the call.10 yearsTOTAL PAIN IN THE NECK. CAN'T RING THEM BACK, REALLY ANNOYING.10 yearsNo answer at all!10 yearsGot a call from 01618200862 and had a chat with a woman claiming she could sort out a new boiler for people on benefits. She asked for my name, address, phone number and even my date of birth. Felt pretty fishy to me.10 yearsI got a call at 11:36 this morning, I answered but all I could hear was silence, then they just hung up after about 10 seconds. Really irritating!10 yearsGot a call at 11:38 this morning but they just hung up as soon as the answerphone picked up.10 yearsThey've called me again for the third day in a row, so today I just let loose with a bunch of swear words and some pretty harsh threats. They ended up hanging up on me. Maybe this means they’ll stop bothering me now :)10 yearsHeating engineer ringin' me up.10 yearsMy phone buzzed but when I picked up, there was silence on the other end. I stayed quiet too and after about 10 to 15 seconds, I just ended the call.10 yearsOn Tuesday the 7th of February 2017 at 3:43pm, I received a call from this number. As soon as my answerphone kicked in, the caller just disconnected and didn’t say a word. Bit odd and worrying really.10 yearsWell, fancy that, got a call from these idiots. When I picked up, they just hung up straight away. But the real kicker was when I tried to block the number 01618200862 - turns out blocking that just blocked some Indian call centre number 02031988128 instead. How they manage to ring me showing one number but actually be a completely different one is beyond me. Proper frustrating! Grrrr.10 yearsThey ring almost every day and honestly, I'm proper sick of it now.10 yearsThese scammers are just out to steal your cash. Big energy companies have leaked phone numbers to them because their IT security is rubbish.10 yearsI got a call today at work from 01618200862, it was one of those automated messages about boilers, saying you can get help if someone in your home is on benefits. Thing is, this is not a home, it’s a business and that number has always been for work, so I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. I’ve heard that if you press 9, you might get charged on your BT bill, but not sure if that’s true or just a rumour? Didn’t want to chance it though. These calls are really annoying when they keep the business line tied up.10 yearsThey ring multiple times every day, usually with a blocked number right after. Never drops a message if you pick up, just silence. When I tried calling back, it said they’re not accepting calls right now, so you know these are dodgy. Does anyone know the company behind this? I’d love to get in touch with their support and mess with their system for a bit. Even better, if someone has the CEO’s address, I’d happily send them all the junk mail!10 yearsCheers, I reckon it's the British Gas boiler sales folks. Every time the service engineer comes round, they say it’s hard to find spare parts and then push you towards buying a brand new boiler.British Gas10 yearsAnother rubbish call again. I’m a retired director and yet these lot keep getting hold of my number. Who’s passing it on to them?? Really hope they get slapped with big fines.10 yearsGot a recorded message about boilers, total spam. Clearly they ignore the TPS register.10 yearsGot a recorded voice message even tho I’m on the TPS list and my number’s unlisted. Tried to reach out to complain but can’t get through to anyone. Frustrating!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsAnswering machine gets the pre-recorded message every single time. Such a pain. They call me like twice daily.10 yearsI’m on the TPS list and keep my number private, yet I still got this recorded call. Managed to catch a bit of it before it cut off. Properly irritating.TPS10 yearsThis number kept ringing my phone loads of times, so I finally pressed the dreaded 5 to hear the operator. Turns out the company is called LIFEISEASY, and if you search that with boilers, guess what? It links back to BRITISH GAS. Seems like these lot might be sharing our info, which isn’t right with data protection rules. I really recommend everyone to get in touch with TPS - that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.BRITISH GASTelephone Preference Service10 yearsThe start of the message was cut off so I couldn’t really understand what it was for. Regardless, I’m just gonna block it.10 yearsGot a call today, 02 Feb 2017 at 1:51pm. Left a voicemail on my answerphone, but it seemed to miss the beginning. Heard something about 'free replacement' and asked if anyone in the house was on benefits. I'll be reporting this number to the Telephoning Preference Service. Tried ringing back but just got three beeps before the call ended.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsthey called but stayed quiet, didnt leave any message either10 yearsGot a call today 1.2.17 about boilers from an automated message which said press 9 to opt out but it hung up before I could do it. My number is ex-directory and on the TPS, luckily I have a BT call blocker and just added that number to it. Really annoyed BT are now charging me more to block these calls but they still keep coming through. I’m going to report it to the TPS and complain to BT about how this bogus number is getting past their system.Telephone Preference ServiceBTTPS10 yearsCouldn’t get connected cause my ‘call guardian’ app kept blocking it, cheers for that!10 yearsGot a voicemail about boilers from some company.10 yearsGot called from an ex-directory number about changing my boiler. Tried ringing back but the number doesn’t pick up any calls.10 yearsGot a call today from someone pretending to be about my boiler. Total scam, don’t fall for it! They tried to get me to give info but I just hung up. Watch out, these fraudsters are sneaky!10 yearsGot a recorded message about boilers that just wouldn’t quit, proper annoying.10 yearsGot a call from this number today (2/1/2017).
