0161 802 4860 - Stay clear of this number! They say they’re from an energy company, but they keep giving wrong details. The way they talk is really awkward and a bit threatening. I get several annoying calls from them every day without fail.

Got called by some overseas lot claiming they could lower my electricity bill with better rates. They kept going on about clearing my balance and all that nonsense. Seemed like a typical scam to me.

I received a dodgy call about my life insurance policy. I firmly told the chap to cease his incessant ringing and made it crystal clear that I wouldn’t divulge any personal information.

Definitely a scam, stay clear!

They keep calling over and over, if they were legit they’d just leave a message. I’ve had loads of calls from numbers like these, even pretending to be housing repair services. Telling them to take you off their list is useless, they just wait a week or two and try again. Now I just don’t pick up any calls from unknown numbers. Honestly, councils and similar groups that hand out your info without asking should be fined. Waiting on a call back from the doctor or hospital for a sick family member only to get bombarded by these scam calls is just awful, feels like harassment.

Some moron stuck to a script bothering me for personal details (they knew part of my name) and was trying to push me to cancel my pension or life insurance. I told them I was only 15 and they hung up straight away.

Got calls from the same number 4 days running. At first, I just ignored it, but after seeing what others said, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it. Feels like they’re just trying to hassle me. Total scam.

Got a call from someone who oddly enough knew my name - clearly they'd got hold of my details somewhere. It was one of those annoying insurance sales calls. So I called em back and flipped the script, acting like I was the one selling life insurance to the person on the other end. Proper laugh that was. They didn’t hang up quick enough, so I kept at it till they finally gave up and ended the call. Blocked the number straight after. 😂🤣😂🤗

I ended up paying for a number linked to : [#][#]magrathea-telecom[###] - definitely put them on your blocklist.

They've phoned me at least 20 times over the past couple of months, sometimes ringing twice daily. Even after I've blocked the number, the calls just keep coming!

Got a call from someone trying to sell life insurance, but they were way off with my details - using my old surname! They kept going on about life insurance for a mortgage, which I don’t have at all. When I said that, they quickly ended the call. Sounds like a dodgy scam to me, watch out!

Im so over this nonsense! Total scam calls! I’m from Manchester and the hospital rings me sometimes from numbers I don’t recognise, so now I gotta check every number before returning the call. My daughter’s really poorly, and the last thing I need is these muppets trying to scam me and others. It’s such a pet hate!

I’ve gotten two calls in a couple of days on my private mobile. Even though the number changes, the voice and questions are always exactly the same. It’s a bit strange.

Got a call from 01618204860 claiming to be from some insurance company, trying to fish for my personal info. When I started asking stuff like my date of birth, middle name, or address, they got all flustered and just hung up. These scams need to be stopped! If you let it ring and then search the number online, you’ll often find others complaining about the same thing - it’s a bit comforting to know you’re not alone. Sadly, they keep switching numbers so they never really go away. The best you can do is keep looking up each number and blocking them as they come.

Got a call from a Manchester area code, sounded a bit dodgy. Didn’t fancy it so I blocked the number.

Sounds like they ring just to check if someone picks up, then start sending spam or pass your number around to other scammers saying it’s ‘active’. Best thing is to just block ‘em all! Those spam calls are the worst!
