01618502123 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618502123 👆 is reported as a Manchester-based number linked to alleged Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) claim services. Callers profess to help reclaim funds but often fail to provide clear information or verifiable credentials. Reports suggest the calls may be automated or end abruptly if interest is declined. Some users indicate the callers deny being sales representatives, yet their tactics closely resemble typical cold-call scams. The firm behind these calls is suspected to operate under multiple names and have a questionable reputation, with past legal judgments noted. Many advise caution, recommending registration with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) to reduce unwanted contact. Overall, engagement is not advised due to inconsistent communication and potential fraudulent activity.

Fifteen Corns Street does not appear to be a valid address. Just to clarify for anyone unsure, the same individuals operate both Wills Direct Ltd and Will Registry Direct. They're essentially the Manchester versions of Del and Rodney, minus all the wit and charisma! They owe us a grand and reportedly have other County Court rulings against them, as mentioned in previous posts. Despite the polite facade they may present, we can guarantee they aren't as pleasant as they seem. Please share this information with others!

It’s rather astonishing that we've only had our new mobile number for a couple of weeks, and already we receive calls from these individuals. We chose not to answer, as we're fully aware that the number has only been shared with our kids. We specifically acquired this new number to avoid such situations, which makes it all the more annoying.

I received a call from this number (01618502123), and they hung up after only a few seconds. Being a bit of a techie and curious by nature, I took to the internet to investigate and stumbled upon this page! I’m contemplating giving them a ring back, although I doubt I’ll recognise the voice on the other end! 😅

Received a call from this number just now. There was absolutely nobody on the line, and the caller hung up after a matter of seconds. Seriously, do some people not have anything more worthwhile to do? It's got to be a scam or something dodgy!

A woman rang me up earlier, claiming she was sorting out refunds connected to credit cards, loans, mortgages, or car insurance. I kept asking her to clarify who she was, but her explanations were muddled and hard to grasp. When I probed about how she got my number, she replied that she was reaching out to everyone in the UK. The conversation ended rather quickly when I mentioned that I didn't have any credit card, loan, mortgage, or vehicle to discuss.

Would anyone be able to share the current addresses for these individuals? Much appreciated!

A small sprinkle from Barry, yet here we have Mr Hargreaves left in the lurch once more. It’s simply shocking, really. It's like trying to patch up the cellar whilst there are gaping holes in the ceiling-quite the sorry state of affairs, if you ask me!

Received a call from this number, but they hung up before we could engage. We suspect it’s linked to Manchester. The callers claim they’re not part of a sales operation and instead portray themselves as a friendly bunch eager to help us reclaim some funds (how adorable). In essence, it feels like your typical scam. They weren’t overly aggressive, and it all ended rather quickly-quite a sarcastic manner of saying goodbye when we expressed disinterest.

If you sign up for the Telephone Preference Service, you'll find that those annoying calls will dwindle in no time. The last time we received a call from one of these pesky telemarketers, we simply mentioned our TPS registration, and they immediately apologised and hung up.

This is a company that seems to think these individuals are eligible to recover payment protection claims.

Received a call from this number, but it disconnected as soon as I answered. Likely one of those automated diallers, which is a bit dodgy if you ask me. No trustworthy company resorts to that sort of thing. When they eventually call back and manage to connect, I’ll be sure to give them a grilling about Barry Young!

We definitely don’t have any loans nor do we hand our mobile number out to just anyone. I just received a missed call from them. I'll be putting them on my blacklist shortly after seeing this. Cheers for the heads-up!

Received an unexpected call from this company on Monday while I was at work, so I couldn’t pick up at the time. As soon as I could, I gave them a ring back. They go by the name of Wierd Legal Services and are based in Manchester. They seem to be one of many firms in the UK trying to assist people in reclaiming PPI, which is perfectly reasonable. I must say, they were incredibly courteous and there wasn’t anything that raised any red flags for me!

I just received a ring on my mobile from the number 01618502123, and they identified themselves as Wyart Legal Service, or so they claimed. They mentioned something about a refund for a Payment Protection Claim that’s supposedly linked to me. When I pressed them on the details, inquiring which specific Payment Protection Claim they were on about, they mentioned one I supposedly took out in the last decade. Quite curious, isn't it? I expressed that I had no recollection of such a claim, and they then blurted out they'd send me a claim form. I declined and asked whether this was an attempt at a sales pitch, and abruptly, they cut the call. How very interesting! That said, they did maintain a certain level of politeness throughout the conversation, which was rather unexpected!

I received a call from this number, but as soon as I answered, they just hung up. I reckon it’s one of those Manchester numbers.

They insist they’re not a sales outfit, but rather a friendly group looking to help me reclaim my money (how kind of them!).

All in all, it's just your typical scam. They weren't overly aggressive and quickly ended the call, sarcastically no less, when I mentioned I wasn’t inclined to engage.
