01618268040 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618268040 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance associated with scam and spam calls, often from a presumed call centre. Callers frequently hang up when answered or remain silent, and sometimes provide vague or unclear company names. Many users report repeated calls within short periods without leaving messages, indicative of potential phishing or fraud attempts. Some callers have displayed intrusive behaviour, refusing to identify themselves clearly, asking personal or household-related questions, or abruptly disconnecting when challenged. The number is linked to cold calls allegedly from dubious marketing firms but is widely regarded as untrustworthy. Recipients are advised not to engage, avoid sharing any personal information, block the number, and report suspicious calls to the relevant authorities. Vigilance and caution are strongly recommended to protect against potential scams.

He told me he was calling from UK Choice. When I said I'm 89, he just ended the call. Didn't even try to argue - I was just fibbing.

Sounds like a typical scam call. The bloke wanted to talk to me but when I asked what company he was with, he just kept asking who I was instead of telling me his details. I didn’t give him any info. Told him to stop calling and hung up. Number’s now blocked.

This number rang me 4 times just yesterday - I blocked it after the first one (I don’t pick up unless I recognise the caller). If they’re legit, they’ll leave a voicemail. Still, they really need to chill with this or someone more vulnerable could end up caught out 😡

0161 826 8040 has rang me about 10 times today. I picked up a few times but some calls just went silent. Finally got through to a bloke called ‘Sean’, an Asian guy!!

They tried ringing earlier today but because we've got BT Call Blocker and the number wasn't saved in our contacts, the phone just stayed silent. They didn’t even identify themselves so there was no way to decide if we wanted to take the call. Plus, they didn’t leave a voicemail which usually screams scam to us. After seeing what others have said too, we've gone ahead and blocked this number.

Since 27/10/2022, I've had at least 10 calls from this number, each time trying to find out who lives at my flat. Whenever I ask who they are, they just repeat the same question, asking who's at the address. Strange thing is, they somehow know my first name. After a couple more rounds of me asking their identity, they just hang up. I also missed a call from a similar number before but no message was left, unlike this one which always leaves a voicemail if I don't pick up. I've decided to block the number now because it feels like a scam or maybe some dodgy credit fraud team. This kinda stuff always pops up around this time of year.

About a week back, I got a call from this number. Picked up but heard nothing, so I thought it might be a mate messing about and rang back, only to get a busy tone right away. Today, they've called again but I’m not bothering to pick up this time. Good job I checked the number online first!
