Reports on phone number 01618840490
2 yearsThey’ve been ringing me up twice every day for almost a week, saying they’re from the financial regulators. They kept asking about my money situation, which is something I never discuss with strangers. I told them to take me off their list, but they just ignored me. This morning at about 10.35, they called again, and I told them I’ve reported them for harassment now, and then they quickly put the phone down. Fingers crossed they finally take the hint this time.2 yearsAt first, I couldn’t make out the caller properly because there were loads of voices in the background. It seemed like a busy setup with quite a few people probably handling similar calls. Eventually, I picked up on a woman’s voice, quite heavy accent, asking about a new boiler. I told her I didn’t need one and then ended the call. I decided to look up the number because the area code made me think it was local, so I wondered if it might be a legit cold call from a nearby company. But judging by the comments here, looks like it’s just a place anyone can rent to make these cold calls.2 yearsGave me a ring earlier, so I’ve decided to block this number now.2 yearsThis lot are nothing but cheats and really should be taken to court for what they’re up to.2 yearsSo glad my phone automatically mutes calls from numbers I don’t recognise. Can’t stand all these scam calls buzzing in lately!2 yearsThere was silence on the line; I didn’t respond verbally, and then they simply disconnected.2 yearsGot a call on my phone from someone claiming I was another person about some PPI thing. When I told them they’d got the wrong person, the woman on the line cheekily replied “you sure sound like him though”. There’s no way these lot are FCA regulated, feels more like a bunch of mobsters than an actual company #coldcalling, and yeah I mean mob, not a firm.2 yearsGot three calls from that number today but didn't bother picking up any of them.2 yearsGot a call around half past 5 yesterday evening. The guy hinted they were handling some sort of claim for me and tried to push me into applying for PCP car finance claim. I told him I’ve never had anything to do with PCP, but he kept going anyway. My tea was getting cold, so I asked him to call back later when I was free. Haven’t heard a peep since.2 yearsReceived a call completely unexpectedly and the caller bombarded me with probing inquiries, seemingly unconcerned about my ability to respond. All the signs pointed towards it being a dodgy scam call.2 yearsI picked up and there was suddenly just silence on the other end.2 yearsA call came through on my phone from 0161 884 0490(2), but I ignored it as I couldn’t see any reason why someone from Manchester would ring me. Later, I looked it up and found loads of comments warning about it being a scam. Definitely best not to pick up.Manchester2 yearsWatch out, looks like this number is tied to rental scams. Dont fall for it!2 yearsReceived a call regarding PPI for car finance, which I’ve never signed up for. Ended the call quite abruptly.2 yearsI recently had a ring from the number 01618840490, where the caller was asserting they were from a PPI firm, insisting that I had some sort of hire purchase or loan on my vehicle. I could sense it was dodgy, so I decided to hang up on them.2 yearsGot a call about some car finance PPI thing from 2006 to 2020, they also claimed I’d already made a claim with them before. I was like, nope, never done that, so I just hung up.2 yearsGot a call on my mobile from someone saying they were from a housing association about a tenancy issue. My husband wasn’t having any of it and ended the call straight away.2 yearsNo idea who called, but it definitely seems like a scam to me.2 yearsSo I got called a couple times on my mobile, then again but this time from a landline. They said they were from some debt advice service, then mentioned NHS advice - feels like a total scam! I keep blocking different numbers but they just keep ringing. My advice: if you don’t know the number and it’s not in your phonebook, just don’t pick up. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message. Most scammers just don’t bother or leave empty voicemails. Stay safe out there!2 yearsPicked up the phone but there was nobody on the other end.2 yearsReceived a call on my mobile today. They said they were from a Housing Association, but my husband ended up hanging up on them.Housing2 yearsSaw a call from an unknown mobile, so I ignored it and let it ring until it stopped. Later, I checked the number on this site, and judging by earlier reviews, it seems to be a scam.2 yearsPhone rings, I pick up, then they just cut off straight away.2 yearsPicked up the phone and all I got was silence on the other end?
