01618269053 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618269053 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to multiple scams originating from call centres, often with a foreign accent. Callers impersonate NHS or Covid-related services, asking intrusive questions about vaccination status, personal details, and life insurance, which are unrelated and suspicious. They sometimes claim to represent Citizens Advice or government debt agencies but become abusive or hang up when challenged. The calls frequently come from similar Manchester area codes, rarely leave voicemails, and are flagged as fraud by phones. Many users advise ignoring, blocking, and not sharing any information. This number is strongly associated with fraudulent and harassing behaviour, so caution and vigilance are highly recommended for all recipients.

I’ve been getting calls nearly every day from the Manchester dialling code for a couple of weeks now and never get any voicemail left, so I just ignore them. Cheers to everyone on here, I’ve figured out it’s a scam. But why do they use loads of phone numbers that are almost the same??

Some guy with a foreign accent called me asking if I’d had the vaccine, then wanted to know who my life assurance provider was. I didn’t say a word, and he started calling me all sorts of rude names. I just had a laugh, ended the call, and blocked the number straight away.

They kept saying they were from Citizens Advice about some debt thing. I told them I don’t owe anything, but they kept on asking questions! I just ended the call. They ring loads, using different numbers from all over the UK. I’ve blocked every one of them. Proper nuisance.

Got a call today asking about my thoughts on the Covid vaccines and how I’m feeling currently. Bit odd since I’m actually dealing with Covid at the moment, so almost got pulled into a deeper chat. I threw some questions his way which he couldn’t reply to, so I just ended the call. If this guy’s legit, he’s having a tough time for sure.

Got a call on my home phone from someone saying they were from the nhs. They said they knew i'd had three covid jabs and asked if i’d got my vaccine certificate, offering to send it over. Then they started asking about my life insurance which seemed odd for nhs. After they asked for my postcode i knew it was dodgy so i ended the call. They’ve called a bunch of times since but I’m not answering.

Another scam call, so annoyed. I’m getting about 2 or 3 of these every day lately. It’s always the same people but they keep swapping their names and their numbers are nearly the same. Thinking maybe it’s time to change my phone number since this has been happening for over a year now.
