Phone number ☎️ 01618261948 👆 is reported as associated with aggressive and persistent nuisance calls, often involving claims about mis-sold car finance or offers of grants and refunds. Callers frequently use silent or no-answer tactics and may hang up when challenged. Recipients report misleading tactics including false names, setting up email communication to avoid direct questions, and ignoring GDPR rules. The number is linked to suspected scams, often bypassing call blocking and ignoring Do Not Call lists. Interaction is strongly discouraged; calls are usually uninvited and suspicious. Users are advised to report such calls directly to law enforcement channels specialised in cybercrime and fraud for effective action, as blocking and official registries alone offer limited protection against these well-organised scam operations.

2 yearsI got a call from some company named Margrathea Telecoms, they also rang me from two different numbers, 01615325398 and 01615325399, all about some dodgy car finance PCP mis-selling. I mentioned i'd already got another firm sorting it for me and they just backed off quiet easily. Could be a bit risky dealing with these lot.Margrathea Telecoms2 yearsThey rang me a few times today but never said a word. On the last call, I decided to play a bit of music through the phone. Of course, they ended up hanging up - maybe I should get better at it 😂2 yearsSome bloke claimed his name was David and actually used my name when he spoke. There was a lot of noise in the background, so he wanted my email to continue the chat. I questioned him on how he even got my phone number, and he said he’d explain in the email. I told him he was breaking GDPR rules since I never gave them my number and told him to delete all my info from their system. Then I ended the call.David2 yearsDidn't pick up as I had no idea who it was.2 yearsI got a call from a woman who sounded like she had an Aussie accent, and she was saying something about me being able to claim £1000 from PPI. It felt a bit dodgy right from the start, so I just ended the call straight away.Australia2 yearsGot a call about a refund for a car I supposedly bought that was mis-sold. They said they wanted to send me some money back, but when I didn’t seem to fit their criteria, they just dropped it and didn’t push for any more info. The weird bit was they asked for a name I always use as a cover for these dodgy calls, so I instantly felt something was off. When I called them back, they claimed to be from a company called Tax Magpie. Total car finance scam if you ask me.Tax Magpie2 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent, asking to talk to my missus. She wasn’t having any of it. I asked what it was about and he kept pushing to speak to her. I told him she wasn’t interested. Then he started going on about how she might be owed a big sum of money from some company we’ve never even come across. That’s when we just hung up. He didn’t even bother to say our surname right. Pretty clear they were just after our info, a proper scam if you ask me.2 yearsTax Magpie seems to have a proper website at https://taxmagpie.co.uk/, but there’s no genuine way to contact them by email or phone except for the number that scammed me initially: 0161 826 1948. I’m convinced it’s a con for a couple of reasons. First, I’m signed up with the TPS, so no respectable company would ring me out of the blue. Second, they requested a name I’ve fed to other scammers before, and it’s obvious they just recycle this info between them.Tax MagpieTelephone Preference Service3 yearsEvery day, they keep ringing but just hang up, even though I’ve asked them to take me off their list and even blocked their number!

I quickly ended the call after that.3 yearsI got a call but when I tried to return it, the line was silent.
