01618502815 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618502815 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance linked to energy-related scams originating from Manchester, frequently using numbers with an 0161 850 prefix and varying final digits to bypass blocks. Callers often claim to be energy advisers offering home efficiency checks or grants, but exhibit suspicious behaviour such as ignoring questions, cutting calls abruptly, and using scripted responses. Many recipients report repeated calls daily, including silent or automated messages with no proper identification. Despite blocking, these calls continue unabated, causing significant frustration. The operation lacks proper company registration and disregards Do Not Call regulations. Users advise not answering unknown numbers from this range and highlight the need for stricter enforcement against such scams and telecommunication abuses to protect consumers from harassment and potential fraud.

Got called by someone trying to scam me.

Didn’t pick up because I didn’t recognise the number.

I keep getting phone calls about 'energy saving' for my house, even after I've blocked a few of their numbers and asked them to remove me from their list. Feels a bit like a scam to me, really annoying how they won’t just stop ringing.
2 years
I just ignored it and didn’t answer.
2 years
This is a different number but I reckon it's the same company as one that called me earlier. I've blocked that one, and now this one is blocked too.
2 years
Identical firm, identical tale, just the same rubbish all over again.
2 years
I've had calls from this number twice over the last couple of days. I usually don't pick up if the number isn’t saved in my contacts. If it’s something important, they can just leave a voicemail.
2 years
Constantly getting these spam calls is super irritating.
2 years
Keep clear of this one, they say they're an energy firm but its just a load of scams. I've blocked them but they still ring me 4 or 5 times daily! It's proper annoying and they wont leave you alone if you pick up. Dont answer your phone when they call, they'll waste your time for sure. Definitely a dodgy number, watch out!

Got a call from someone called Chris claiming to be an energy consultant - looks like a scam running from Manchester. I’ve blocked the number now.

Some bloke rang claiming to be an energy advisor and said “I see you own your place” but I told him I don’t. He then apologised and just hung up. He’s called me at least a dozen times over the last few weeks before I picked up, so it definitely feels a bit shady if you ask me.
2 years
They kept calling my phone loads so I picked up in the end. The guy said he was some energy advisor for my area, so I asked him “what’s my postcode then?” He just kept talking like I hadn’t said anything. I asked a second time what my postcode was and then he just ended the call.

I received a call from a number I didn’t recognise, so I didn’t pick up. It seemed familiar, though-I believe it might have been the same one as before, just with the last couple of digits altered.
2 years
I’m absolutely inundated with calls from some so-called “energy specialist” nearby. I’ve already told them to stop phoning me, yet they persist! It’s always a new number, and I find myself having to block them repeatedly. So frustrating!

My phone showed this as potential spam so I put the number on block. Got three calls from different 0161 numbers the day before, all got blocked after I flagged it here.

It keeps ringing but I dont pick up, sounds like one of those energy scams. Ive blocked the number but it’s still calling me.

I received a rather amusing voicemail claiming to be from an energy firm, insisting that if I didn’t respond, they couldn’t assist with my inquiry. Quite peculiar, considering I hadn’t actually posed any questions! I’ve since decided to block their number.

Have you got my number saved, 0161 whatever? Nope? Then buzz off. They’ve rung me three times in three days from different 0161 numbers and I’ve just not answered. Honestly, find something better to do...

They must have loads of numbers cos they keep ringing non stop, best thing is just block them honestly.

These numbers and their variations are such a nightmare... I've blocked every one of them but they keep ringing anyway. So annoying!

Like loads of folks mentioned, it’s an automated call that needs you to say the ‘correct’ replies to keep going. It’s nearly always from an 0161 850 xxxx number. Seriously, can’t anyone put an end to these scammers?
2 years
I've blocked this number and a few similar ones, but they keep ringing through different numbers like 0161 850 2847 and 2815. Today alone, they've tried calling me three times still.

He told me he was an energy consultant nearby and I just went with my usual reply for these calls: that my partner works as an energy advisor. He thanked me for being polite and said have a good afternoon. I don’t actually have a partner, but it’s a great little fib that always does the trick.
2 years
Some bloke named Chris, claiming to be an energy advisor from my area, called and asked if I owned the house. I told him no, and he didn’t say anything else after that.

Dodgy call, best to just block it.

Total con artist!

Usually, I dont pick up when I think its a scam call, but today I did. I reckon the first person calling uses some kind of AI to see if they got the right person. HOW COME? Because when I told them who I was and why they were calling, they asked "you're the homeowner, right?" I said no, and then they just repeated the same question in the exact same way. After I said no again, they just ended the call... BEWARE OF SCAM!!
2 years
No idea who they are cause I just let the call ring out. After seeing what others said here, pretty pleased I didn’t pick up. Been getting calls from a bunch of numbers all starting with 0161 - like 850 2815, 850 2847 and 850 2059 - guessing it’s the same lot.

Got a call about checking energy efficiency for our place. Since we’re already A rated, I said no thanks. Then they just hung up on us.

Complete rubbish. Got several calls from numbers linked to this firm, always swapping the last couple of digits. I block them every time but then they pop up under different names. I'm on the TPS list, but clearly they don't give a toss about those rules on cold calls.

This is exactly the kind of issue MPs ought to be sorting out, slapping serious fines on both the companies running these services and their top bosses (maybe even jail time, as long as they cover their own costs), plus those #### who get handed these numbers.

Just got a call from this number. I answered but no one spoke. Had a feeling it was a scam and checking here proved me right. I only bothered to pick up so I could give them a piece of my mind. They really need to do something about these annoying calls.

Got another ring from 0161 850 28**, even after I blocked the first one (they just switched the last two digits to get past). Just silence on the line then they cut off. They’re definitely using some blocked numbers but I’m pretty sure they’ve got loads more up their sleeve. Why can’t the phone companies do something to stop these annoying calls???

Received my first cold call today from a Manchester number (0161850xxxx). There’s been quite a few of these calls coming through. No voicemail or any clue who they were, which might be useful for my ongoing case at work involving someone under probe for breaches of data protection and other bullying behaviours. Honestly, they might want to rethink their approach. Anyway, number’s now blocked.

There’s this scammer that keeps ringing me from loads of different numbers whenever I block one. I’ve had legit people calling for years, but it’s clear my number’s been passed around to other scammers. I keep getting calls from different scam outfits using new numbers after I block the previous one! It’s so annoying.

This number has rung me a few times. The person said they were from some government energy scheme for my area - when I asked what area exactly, they didn’t answer and just continued talking. Asked again and still no reply, just went on like I’d already said yes. Seemed like an automated voice, didn’t properly answer any questions. I’ve blocked it now.

I asked him how he was so sure I was the homeowner since we’d never had any contact before, then he just hung up. This is the second time today they’ve called me, both times from different numbers. The first got blocked and now I’ve had to block this one as well.
