This number, and a bunch quite like it, just won't stop ringing me non stop. Ive tried blocking them and marking as spam but they keep coming through no matter what. Honestly, its best not to pick up if you get a call from any of these!

I've been getting calls from this number all the time. Everytime I block it, they just ring from a different but similar number. It's been going on for ages now. I just don’t pick up anymore.
2 years
They rang this number three separate times, and when I kept ignoring it, they came back with a couple of calls using numbers that looked almost the same. Honestly, just block it and don't pick up - it’s definitely a scam!

I keep getting calls from someone using numbers that begin with 0161850, but then they add different endings like 2676, 2842 or something quite close to those. Looks like they're trying a couple of similar numbers.
2 years
This phone number is linked to those dubious Energy Saving con artists who seem insistent on ringing me daily, despite me repeatedly asking them to remove my number from their call lists and databases. I genuinely think these folks are up to no good, and I can't wrap my head around how they’re still permitted to carry on with this nonsense.

They keep calling from different 0161 850 xxxx numbers but it’s the same thing every time. Even told them my house has been completely done up but they still haven’t taken me off their list. Proper harassment...

They ring me every day but never leave a voicemail. Seems like another dodgy scam to me. If you’re not in my contacts and don’t bother leaving a message, I’m not picking up or returning the call. Just buzz off and stop wasting my time.

Got a call from someone using my name, sounded like an Indian accent, prob using a relay number here in the UK. I’ve never given anyone in Manchester my info, so they must have got it from some data broker or something. When I asked what it was about, they launched into their usual fake energy company chat. Told them to piss off and ended the call. Had about 4 calls from 0161 area codes this month, all the same scam. This one’s def getting blocked too.

I received a call from some foreign chap insisting that I had shown a desire to know more about solar panels. Honestly, I couldn't care less about these so-called environmental concerns; it all feels like a load of nonsense to me.

Absolutely a dodgy operation! Steer clear at all costs. They seem to be operating out of Manchester, and it's clear they’re just a bunch of cold calling con artists!

I've just had my third unsolicited call today, kicked off by a number from Manchester. This might just add to the growing pile of evidence against the "so-called improvement person" who's being looked into for breaches of data privacy and more than a few instances of workplace harassment and misconduct. I've now taken steps to block the number.

This is the third unwanted call today, the first one even came from a Manchester number. Might be more proof linking to that "improvement guy" who’s being looked into at my job for breaching data privacy and all sorts of bullying and misconduct. Have blocked them already.

I asked her a couple of times if she was sure I was the “homeowner” and also where exactly I lived, but before I could say much more, she just hung up on me - didn’t even say goodbye! Honestly, calls like this need to be stopped completely, the new government should put an end to them for good!

I've been getting loads of calls from 0161850 numbers recently. I blocked every one of them but as soon as I do, another different number rings me. When I picked up a few times, they claimed to be from an energy company. Today, while I was on an important call, they rang and cut me off! Really annoying.
2 years
The phone only rang once before I picked up, and to my surprise, the person on the other end was already saying sorry that nobody was free to talk to me! She told me I didn’t have to do much except ring a mobile number she gave me if I wished to be removed from their call list... but seriously, who’s gonna pay for that call? I never even made it!

Got a call from someone saying they were with the DWP, that my home was picked for some “free” energy improvements. Usually, these calls come from a “local energy company” so it struck me as odd that the DWP would be involved in green upgrades. The number showed as Manchester but the voice sounded Brummie. I’d missed a few calls from similar numbers before, so I finally picked up just to see what it was about.

They keep calling me non stop from loads of different numbers but they all begin with 0161 850. Even after asking them a million times to stop and take my number off their list, they just keep at it. Funny thing is when I called back there was supposed to be an option to opt out of their calls but who knows if it actually works. It’s so annoying getting blasted with those calls all day.

Another chilly ring today, this time from the same set of Manchester digits (0161850xxxx). Could be more proof linking to that "enhancement chap" who's being looked into at my job for breaching data laws and all sorts of bullying and nasty dealings. Blocked them straight away again.
