01618502465 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618502465 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to aggressive and deceptive loan-related scams. Callers often claim the recipient applied for or was refused a loan, pressuring them with misleading information and refusing to identify any legitimate company. Despite registrations on the UK's Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and repeated blocking, calls continue daily, sometimes multiple times per day, often from a call centre with foreign accents. The callers ignore requests to remove numbers from their database and sometimes resort to harassment or rudeness. Recipients are advised not to engage, avoid sharing personal or banking details, and report the number as a scam to relevant authorities. Users should exercise caution and rely on official channels for debt or loan assistance.

They claimed my missus had gone for a loan, which wasnt right, then said she got turned down, again not true. When I called them out, they just hung up. Tried calling back and got some person who didnt even speak proper English. Pure scammers all of them.

Got a call from a woman about some loan I apparently applied for but was declined. Told her I never did anything like that and it’s clearly either identity theft or some dodgy scam on their part. Either way, I’m passing this on to my lawyer.

Got calls from a scammer called Think Smart. They kept ringing non stop trying to push a loan on me. Even after asking, they refuse to remove my number. Had to block them in the end.

Some bloke with a South African accent gave me a ring, mentioned something like "Think Smart" was the company. Said I'd got a loan for £2000 that was turned down, but I’ve never taken out any loans. Gonna block them if they ring back.

They just keep ringing all day long. Properly frustrating!

I keep getting calls from this number, which was rather annoying. I've now decided to block it. If it's truly important, why not just leave a message? It would save everyone a bit of hassle!

Got a call from a guy with a South African accent - he claimed they’d come across an old loan form and wanted to offer help during these COVID times. I told him I wasn’t interested and blocked the number. I’m signed up to TPS as well.

I'm receiving calls from this number incessantly, twice a day! If there's something urgent, for goodness' sake, just leave a message! I tried returning the call, but the person on the other end didn't identify themselves or mention any business name. There was quite a bit of background chatter, so it seems like a call centre. I have no idea how they even acquired my number; I make an effort to keep it private!

I've been receiving calls from this number incessantly. When I tried to ring them back, they didn’t answer with any sort of company name or identification, which was quite off-putting, so I ended up hanging up. There was also some background chatter that sounded like a call centre, which only added to my suspicion.

Got a call from 0161 850 2465, didn’t pick up and wasn’t going to either. Blocked the number now, will see if they try again.

I’ve blocked this number loads of times on my phone but it still manages to call me daily. I don’t get how it’s possible when the number is the same and I’ve blocked it. I just ignore it anyway cos I reckon it’s some sort of hacker trying to get info or something.
6 years
They keep ringing asking for some Mr Schofield. Even after I tell them it’s the wrong number, they just launch into selling me financial stuff. You have to hang up straight away otherwise they won’t quit. I’ve blocked the number now because it’s just annoying telesales. Isn’t that kind of thing supposed to be illegal nowadays?

Got a call from Jason, explained nicely that I wasn’t interested anymore as I’d already set up a DMP. He just ignored me and kept going with his script, even when I blasted a horn sound through the phone. Took him like 2 minutes before he finally gave up and ended the call.

I've put their number on my blocked list, yet they still have the cheek to call me six times a day! If it was so urgent, surely they could drop me a message instead? It's utterly baffling!

I got a call from some debt help firm saying they could sort out my debts with no loans involved. When I mentioned I’d just got a £400 loan, this nosy woman had the nerve to ask what I needed it for. Told her to butt out and now they’re blocked.

Look up the gov site named TPS, register yourself and you'll see most cold calls stop, like 90% gone. If any keep calling, just say you're on the TPS list and their call is against the law. Usually they hang up or swear at you but they rarely bother again.

They’ve been ringing me like 5 or 6 times daily, it’s getting ridiculous. I’ve had to block them now. Just some foreign lot trying to scam hard working folks like us. They really should find proper jobs instead of trying to steal from us.

i work in scam prevention and got this call saying they were trying to reach me, but i didn’t answer. just so you know, i’m aware of what’s going on. i’ve told my mates against scams to stay clear of this.

This lot won’t stop ringing me, so I answer with a proper “Who dis?” in my best Lagos twang, then tell ’em I’ll sort out a loan - but only after they cough up the first payment beforehand! Total con artists, honestly!

Watch out, they were asking really personal stuff, saying it was about helping with debt. They have no connection to Citizens Advice at all and made me stressed about a loan I supposedly took out. Citizens Advice would never ask things like that or offer those kinds of changes.

0161 850 2465 keeps calling me nonstop, sometimes really late at night. I picked up once and they were asking for my bank details so they could "finalise" a loan I never even asked for. I told them straight up I’m not giving away my bank info or personal details like my address or date of birth. They hung up after that. It stopped for a bit, but now they’re back calling every day again. I’ve blocked the number now ‘cos I’m done with all the hassle.

Honestly, if someone calls me Mr John instead of using my last name, I just know they’re not legit. Every time this happens, it’s some bloke with a foreign accent trying to sound English. Call me whatever you want, but I usually just tell ’em to get lost, you muppet.
