01618268047 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618268047 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call pretending to be from well-known telecom companies, primarily BT, offering bogus discounts on phone bills and free line rentals. Callers often display foreign accents, frequently South Asian, and appear to have acquired personal details such as names and addresses. They request sensitive information including dates of birth and bank details, raising significant security concerns. Many recipients have never held the supposed services mentioned and advise blocking the number immediately. The calls are intrusive, sometimes aggressive, with no legitimate follow-up or message left. Users recommend verifying unknown numbers online, ignoring requests for personal data, and utilising call-blocking tools to avoid potential fraud.

4 yearsGot a call from this number saying something about life insurance. Problem is, I aint got any.4 yearsThey keep asking, like really pleading, about the cat.4 yearsThey ring me like 5 times every single day, proper annoying.4 yearsGot a call from some Asian call centre about a life insurance plan, which is weird cause I've never signed up for anything like that. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.4 yearsGot a call where they just asked if a certain person was there, no small talk or anything else. Seems like they might have been checking if the number was active or something.4 yearsGot caught up by some scam alert thingy.4 yearsGot a call this morning at 10:08. Luckily, my Call Guardian blocked the call so it didn’t come through. Seeing all the warnings here, I’m really glad I have that feature because I’d have been in the shower then and it would’ve been so annoying. Have blocked the number now. Cheers to everyone who reported it!Call Guardian4 yearsDidn’t leave a voicemail, just blocked them straight away. Cheers to everyone who warned me about this scam!4 yearsGot a call supposedly from moneysupermarket.com about life insurance - complete rubbish. Ended up blocking the number straight away.4 yearsGot a call from someone named Hazel who said my life insurance was running out soon. Thing is, I don't even have any life insurance at all.Hazel4 yearsThe person on the phone claimed there was a mistake with my life insurance paper and said I might have to wait a whole year to make a claim. I just ended the call straight away.4 yearsGot a call from a lady named Mary, sounded Asian. Pretty clear it was one of those dodgy scams about life insurance and trusts.Mary4 yearsSo frustrating!4 yearsGot a call from this number asking for Mrs Berry, but she hasn’t lived here for like 20 years. When they wanted to know who I was, I just told them I wasn’t going to say. They said sorry and hung up after that.Berry4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to discuss my life insurance. I asked which company the policy was with, but all I got in reply was some rubbish about how the call met the proper regs. I kept interrupting and insisting they tell me the name of the company, and after a bit, they just ended the call. Pretty dodgy if you ask me!4 yearsI got a call from someone saying it was about my life insurance. I asked which company it was with, but instead of answering, the bloke just kept going on about how his call followed all the proper rules. After I kept interrupting and demanding to know the insurance company's name, he must’ve realised I wasn’t having it and just ended the call.4 yearsSo, I got a call outta nowhere, some bloke telling me life insurance is like a must-have nowadays! Never thought it’d be forced stuff, but yeah, that’s what they said. Bit daft if you ask me.4 yearsGot a call from a US voicemail saying something like “say remove from database” or you’d get to talk to a person. Total scam trying to sell you something. Don’t fall for it!4 yearsI got a call from a lady with an accent who wanted to talk to me by name. I said I was Mr Smith and let her know she’d dialled the wrong number. After that, I kindly told her to stop bothering me!Smith4 yearsGot a call from a woman called Eve, she spoke with some sort of Eastern European accent. She was pushing this so-called Trust thing, telling me how risky it is to not have one. Quite pushy about it, kept going on about the dangers and all that.EveTrust.Kept4 yearsBeware, this was totally a life insurance con.4 yearsI received a dodgy phone call from 01618268049. An Indian woman addressed me by my actual name, claiming to discuss a non-existent insurance policy. Quite the cheek!4 yearsHonestly, who would be daft enough to share their full address and name, let alone date of birth and bank info, with a stranger on the phone? If you get a call from an unknown number, just look it up online! Most of the time - like 99% - it’s some kind of scam. Just block the number and be done with it. Easy peasy.Google4 yearsWatch out, 01618268047 is definitely a scammer.4 yearsI got a call from a woman with a really thick South Asian accent claiming she was from BT. Since we don't actually have BT, I told her right away I knew it was a scam and that I’d be reporting her to the police. Then I just hung up on her.BT4 yearsGot a call from a woman, sounded like she had an Asian accent, saying she could cut down my phone bill by 35%. She wanted my personal info, even though she somehow already had my name and address. Seemed a bit fishy to me.4 yearsSome woman rang me saying I could get 35% off BT calls plus free line rental for about three months or so. When I asked her to verify my BT account number, she just cut the call straight off!BT4 yearsGot a call from a woman with a strong Indian accent who said she was from BT and mentioned some special discounts for loyal customers. She already knew my full name and address, which was a bit spooky, and she had clearly practiced her replies to typical scam questions. When she asked for my date of birth to set up a password, I knew something was off. I used BT Call Protect to block the number, then checked the Caller ID to see where they were calling from. At least I managed to waste around 15 minutes of their time, which felt like a small win.BT4 yearsI spotted straight away this was dodgy since I got calls from nearly identical 'Manchester' numbers before, like 0161-826-8049. According to Ofcom, any number beginning 0161826 is linked to Magrathea Telecommunications Ltd. Honestly, it’s about time Magrathea started properly checking who they give these numbers to. But probably they don’t mind much seeing as they earn a bit from these so-called 'clients' who are seemingly just scamming people left right and centre!ManchesterOfcomMagrathea Telecommunications LimitedMagrathea4 yearsTried calling, but nobody picked up.4 yearsGot a voicemail from 01618268047 telling me they’d ring back the next day.4 yearsI got a call from a recorded voice with a North American accent saying they’d been trying to contact me but couldn’t get through, and that they’d have another go tomorrow. Well, by then this number will already be blocked. Funny enough, a few weeks back I got a very similar call, with just the last two digits of the number being different. Definitely looks like a scam.4 yearsI have no clue who that was, they never left any message.4 yearsI told them I wasn’t Mr.----- and then they just ended the call straight away.4 yearsI got a call from a woman with a foreign accent claiming I could cut my phone bill by 35%. When I told her I wasn’t interested in any phone deal, she just ended the call.5 yearsKeep getting calls from BT about 3 months free line rental. They constantly want to speak to Angela Phillips. Even though I'm on the TPS list, these calls just wont quit.BTAngela PhillipsPreference5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, but they didn’t ask for my account number, only my name and postcode. They said I’d be getting a discount on my bill. Bit fishy if you ask me.BT5 yearsI got a phone call from BT about some 35% discount on my phone bill. I shared where I live but ended the chat when they asked for my DOB and I didn't want to give it.BT5 yearsGot a call the other day, no one said a word when I picked up. Then, a voice with a weird accent started rattling off some unbelievably good offer. I just ended the call straight away!5 yearsI got a call from a woman who said it was about my BT bill, but since I’m not a BT customer, I just hung up.5 yearsGot a robo call saying they would ring me again tomorrow, looks like just another scam trying to catch me out.5 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Indian or Asian accent who started by using my name. She said she was representing some phone company - can’t remember which one exactly. She told me I’d be getting a 30% discount on my phone bill and even knew my address correctly. I wasn’t really saying much so far, but the moment she asked for my date of birth to verify who I was, I straight up said “No way” and hung up while she kept talking. Pretty clear this was a scam.5 yearsI got a call from a woman who didn’t sound like English was her first language, claiming I’d get free line rental from BT for three months plus 30% off my bill. I told her that sounded odd and then she just ended the call. Such a pointless bother in the middle of my day!BT5 yearsSome bloke with a kinda silly voice called me, saying "we tried ringin' but you weren’t there, will have another go tomorrow." Told you what, that number’s blocked for good now.5 yearsRinged me but put the phone down as soon as my voicemail started.5 yearsGot a call from a woman abroad claiming it was about my BT bill, but I’m not even a BT customer. Told her I'd report her number straight away cos I figured it was a scam. Sorted, now she’s blocked.BT5 yearsNo voicemail left, just hung up straight away. Got calls like this from about 8 other numbers too: 01612188968, 01613544624, 01614144091, 01615099259, 01615201226, 01616763657, 01617480515 and 01618208313. Seems they all do the same thing.5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT trying to sell a discount on line rental. We dont even have BT services. Sounded like a weird Asian accent too. Pretty fishy if you ask me.BT5 yearsBeware of this scammer, very dodgy!5 yearsI got a call from a lady with a heavy accent, and she used my name. When I asked who she was, she said she was from BT. I knew she was fibbing, so I called her out on it, then she began yelling at me over the phone. I just told her to buzz off and hung up.BT5 yearsGot a call from a lady claiming she was with BT, saying I'd get a discount just because I always pay my phone bill on time. Yeah, right! I quickly told her to buzz off.BT5 yearsLooks like it was a scam, didn’t pick up and there was no voicemail left either.5 yearsI tried calling 01618268047 but got no reply, and I didn't leave a voicemail either.5 yearsGot a call from them but no voicemail or anything was left. Cheers to everyone warning about this being a scam - I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.5 yearsGot a call earlier today from an unknown number. They said they’d ring again tomorrow. Feels like a dodgy scam to me..5 yearsHonestly, I just wait for them to start talking before saying anything. If I catch any of those typical call centre sounds in the back, I just end the call straight away. No point in saying hello first. Easy peasy.5 yearsGot a call from 01618268047 claiming to be BT, offering to cut my bill by 25% and no charges for three months. They asked the usual stuff like my address, then when they wanted my date of birth I told them no way, I don’t share that kind of info on the phone. They then said if I wouldn’t give it, they’d have to cancel the offer. Thing is, I’m not even with BT for my phone line.BT5 yearsI got a call from a weird robotic voice that just stopped the moment my answering machine kicked in. Pretty strange experience.5 yearsGot a call from 01618268047 earlier asking which bank we use so they could apparently lower our phone bill. They said they just needed me to confirm the details. I mentioned they should already have that info, but they insisted it was just a confirmation. When I asked what bank they had on file, the lady wouldn’t say and then just ended the call. Anyone else had something like this?5 yearsThey didn’t leave any voicemail, so I’m thinking it probably wasn’t anything urgent!5 yearsWhy am I getting calls from this number?5 yearsI reckon it was one of those robocalls, coz thankfully BT Call Guardian stopped it from ringing through.BT Call Guardian5 yearsI got a voicemail saying they couldn’t get hold of me and that they’d try ringing again the next day.5 yearsTotally pointless, not worth it at all.5 yearsGot a call from a lady speaking with a strong Indian accent, trying to pitch 35% off my phone bill. I told her I don’t use BT, and asked what I needed to do to get the offer. She said, “Nothing, just need you to confirm.” I just hung up straight away. Definitely a dodgy scam. Just to be clear, I’m not being racist here, just stating exactly what happened.5 yearsSomebody rang saying they were from BT offering some kind of discount.BT5 yearsThis morning at around 8.40 a woman called me, saying she was from BT about our account. I told her we don’t actually have any account with BT and ended the call. The lady’s accent sounded like she could have been Chinese, I think.BT5 yearsNo idea why these muppets don’t just sort themselves out and find a proper job instead of bothering decent people with their rubbish scams. Tried to con me, but luckily they didn’t get very far. The whole thing just screams “R sole family.” Got their number noted down, but I’m sure they’ll have another go from a new one. Luckily, I’m always ready for their tricks.5 yearsI got a call from a woman with an accent that sounded Indian or Pakistani, using the number 01618268047. She said she was calling from BT and that I'd get some kind of discount on my upcoming bills. She asked for my first name and date of birth, which I stupidly gave away. Then she started asking about my computer and phone, and that’s when I ended the call. It’s pretty obvious this was a scam. I’m not even a BT customer, so she was off there. The scary thing is she already knew my name and address. How do these scammers get hold of that info?BT5 yearsI received a rather dubious call from a woman with an Indian or Pakistani accent from the number 01618268047, purporting to represent BT. She mentioned that I could be eligible for a discount on my upcoming phone bills. Regrettably, I fell for it and provided her my date of birth, first name, and bank details. She then proceeded to inquire about my computer and phone, at which point I had the sense to terminate the call. It was clearly a scam! To make matters worse, I’m actually not even a BT customer, so she got her facts muddled. It’s quite unsettling how she knew my full name and address. How on earth do these individuals obtain this kind of personal information?BT5 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Indian or Pakistani accent on 01618268047 who said she was calling on behalf of BT. She told me I could get a discount on my phone bills and asked for my full name, date of birth, and my bank’s name. I naively shared this info with her. Then she started asking questions about my phone and computer, which made me suspicious, so I ended the call. It turned out I’m not even a BT customer, so she was mistaken about that. What freaked me out most was that she already knew my name and address. I wonder how they get hold of all this personal stuff?BT5 yearsYep, another dodgy call trying to scam me!5 yearsDon’t know this number 01618268047, feels like it might be a scam, be careful!5 yearsGot a call saying it was BT about some bill, but I haven't had BT phone for ages. Definitely a scam, so blocked the number straight away.BT5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT, telling me I could get a discount. I ended up telling them my bank and even my birthday - pretty daft of me now I think about it. Then, just as quickly, they dropped the call. Wondering how risky sharing that info actually is?BT5 yearsTotally dodgy and feels like a proper scam. They said they were from BT, even knew my name and where I live, which sounded off straight away. Then they tried to find out which bank I use for my direct debit - that’s when I got really suspicious. I told them if they were really from BT, they’d have my email and should just contact me through that instead.BT5 yearsSome lady with a strange accent rang me, claiming she was calling from BT about a discount on my phone bill for older customers. I told her I don’t even have BT as my provider, but she just kept going. She wanted loads of my details, like which bank I use, but I didn’t give her anything else. In the end, she said they’d send me a letter or something. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me!BT5 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be with Talk Talk. She said they’d be reducing my direct debit payments for the coming three months. Bit odd, but she sounded genuine enough.Talk Talk5 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from BT, offering a discount on my bill. They wanted some personal details, but I only gave them my name and address, which they probably already had. I made up a dodgy birthday and bank name, told them I don’t have a mobile phone, and said they could check my email on file. Strange thing is, they never asked for my account number or anything like that - just said they’d post some documents through. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam since I’m not even a BT customer. Waiting to see what happens next.BT5 yearsSome lady said she was from B.T., I just told her to shove off.B. T. Honestly5 yearsGot a call from a woman with an accent I couldn’t place, claiming she was calling on behalf of TalkTalk. She mentioned that our direct debits were going to be reduced over the coming months, and said we'd get a letter and an email to confirm it.TalkTalk5 yearsThis morning I got a call from some call centre, and it started off with this super loud HELLLLOOOO right into the mouthpiece. Totally unexpected!5 yearsI got a call from 01618268047, and the person said they were from BT, offering me a 25% reduction on my bill plus three months free on my landline. It was quite creepy how they already had my name and address. They asked me to give them my date of birth to set up a password, which was odd because if they really were BT, surely they'd already know that? Also, I don’t even have an account with BT - I’m with a different phone provider entirely.BT5 yearsToday I got a call from this number trying to offer me some sort of cheaper phone bill deal, apparently because I'm over 80. When the lady asked for my bank's name, I didn't want to say it, so she just said I wasn’t eligible for the discount and then ended the call.5 yearsHad a call from someone saying they were with BT, but it was a total scam.BT5 yearsSomeone called saying they were from BT and even had my name and postcode right, which surprised me. But the moment they asked for my date of birth, I just hung up. I don’t see why they’d need that info just to talk about my phone account. Feels dodgy to me.BT5 yearsI had the exact same thing happen to me.5 yearsI've gone ahead and blocked that number, definitely a scammer.5 yearsThey called saying they were from BT and somehow already knew my address and name. The offer was free line rental for three months plus free local and mobile calls, but it was supposedly only for certain customers. Then they asked for my date of birth to confirm it. I just ended the call - seemed like a total scam to me.BT5 yearsThe lady on the phone knew my name right away and claimed she could help lower my phone charges. I was quite sceptical and told her I wasn't buying it, so she just ended the call.5 yearsSo this lady called me about some billing issue, and when I told her I wasn’t with BT, she said it didn’t matter who my provider was. I went along with the chat for a bit, but when she asked for my date of birth, I said no way. After that, she just ended the call. Pretty sure it was a scam.5 yearsSome woman with an Asian accent called me up and used my name, claiming she was from BT. Honestly, their scam routine needs fixing. I’m nowhere near a BT customer. Honestly, it would be better if they just quit bothering folks and focused on something meaningful, like maybe helping to save the planet or something!BT5 yearsI answered the call but there was nobody there on the other end.5 yearsGot one of those automated call scams, they played a recorded message. Totally a scam!5 yearsThey left a voicemail saying they’d ring back tomorrow.5 yearsAs soon as the voicemail started, they just hung up. Definitely not a proper call!5 yearsGot a call on my landline, some rude lady asking for Mrs Chapman. I reckon it’s cos the number got reassigned after I moved to a new place. When I tried to explain and ask them to update their info, she just slammed the phone down on me! Proper annoying.Chapman5 yearsLooks like just another one from the r sole clan trying to grab your details and cause you hassle by passing them on. Hope they get what’s coming to them.R Sole5 yearsGot a voicemail from 01618268047 claiming I’m a nuisance caller and that they’ll be ringing back tomorrow, clearly a scammer.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT, offering a 35% cut on my bill. Funny thing is, I just renewed my BT contract online last month and switched over to full fibre after getting a letter through the post. The engineer’s booked for next week to do the installation. Seems really unlikely BT would ring up to give a discount on a contract I just signed for two years. Asked him to send it in writing and then ended the call. Plus, the caller had a strong Pakistani accent which made me even more suspicious. Definitely felt like a scam!BTSubmit Your Own Report (0161 826 8047)
