01618263553 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618263553 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call, often from a person with an Indian or Asian accent claiming to represent a credit or debt collection agency.

Many users report difficulty understanding the accent and note suspicious background noise consistent with call centres. Recipients overwhelmingly consider the calls fraudulent attempts to obtain personal information or to harass. It is strongly advised to ignore, block, and not engage with these calls, as they are linked to debt-related scams and telemarketing fraud. Reporting to relevant authorities is recommended.

I really don't understand why so many folks pick up calls from random numbers without a second thought. We never do that ourselves, why get caught up in stuff that's unnecessary? Didn't recognise the number, so didn't bother answering. No message left either, so that was that. Simple as!

Got two calls from this number, no message left. Also got a call from a different 0161 number asking about some debt, sounded like a strong Indian accent. Quite suspicious.

Got five missed calls from this number before I decided to answer. Spoke to the caller for a bit and it felt fishy, like some sort of scam. He was asking for details about debts he claimed he wanted to help with, but he didn’t actually know anything about me or any debts I owe (which I don’t). He sounded a bit threatening, saying some debt collectors would be after me soon. I just ended the call.

I've received three calls from this number now, and one of them was oddly silent. It seems to be a scam of some sort, particularly since I don’t have any outstanding debts or any expectation of being owed cash. I’ll be making a report to Ofcom regarding this number.

I've noticed, like many before me, that this number is still operational despite numerous warnings. They masquerade as a credit checking agency, claiming to help with your outstanding debts. It's clearly a ruse, but they use my full name which makes it all seem rather convincing. My question is, how many more complaints must be lodged before something is actually done about it?

I've been receiving calls from this number quite frequently, especially around half past five in the evening. However, I've refrained from picking up. I thought it wise to do a little digging beforehand, and after reading all the comments here, I've made up my mind to ignore it! It's a real shame that the telephone preference service doesn’t seem to keep the scammers at bay.

I’m curious to find out how they managed to get hold of my name and phone number! The person on the other end had an Indian accent, and there was clearly some call centre racket in the background.

I received a call from a chap with a thick Indian accent, and let me tell you, it was quite the struggle to catch what he was saying. He asserted he was with the Credit Investigation Bureau and mentioned I had some unpaid debts. What really gave me pause was how he had my full name on hand. I didn’t want to engage any further, so I hung up straight away and promptly blocked his number. It’s alarming to think these scammers are able to function so brazenly, isn’t it?

Got a call from a guy who sounded Indian, said his name was "Sam." He started asking weird questions bout some debt on a credit card that supposedly belongs to me. When I asked him which credit card, he just said it's one from my bank. Then when I wanted to know which bank exactly, he dodged the question and just asked if I owed any money on the card. Felt really fishy, so I’ve blocked the number now.

I received a rather perplexing call from a chap who had a strong Indian accent-barely grasped what he was on about, to be honest. He seemed to be rambling on about capital and debts, but it was all a bit muddled. After I pointed out that he must have the wrong end of the stick, he abruptly ended the conversation. Quite the odd exchange, really!

I didn’t get a word in at all. The line was filled with a cacophony of chatter, predominantly in an Indian accent, with bursts of laughter thrown in for good measure. Then, out of the blue, the call cut off. It really gives off a dodgy vibe, doesn’t it? Feels like one of those scam calls you hear about.

I picked up the phone and it seemed to be someone speaking with an Indian accent, with the distinct hum of a call centre creating a backdrop. When I inquired about where they were based, they named a random street in one of the residential areas of Manchester. Not exactly thorough in their investigation, if you ask me. I’m off now. Cheers!
