I picked up the phone, anticipating a bit of a natter, but to my surprise, the caller didn’t even bother with a hello. That was it for me; I practically hurled the receiver down in frustration. - caller: 0161 number

Received a call claiming I had to provide my bank information because they had incomplete details about me. They started rambling on about various other things, but as soon as I mentioned it sounded like a scam, the caller went completely quiet. Has all the makings of a PPI scam, if you ask me!

I keep receiving calls from this number about three times daily, but they always leave me a blank voicemail. It's quite frustrating! Any suggestions on how I can put an end to these annoying calls?

Extremely pushy and rather discourteous. It's a complete waste of my time and presumably theirs as well. They persist in calling, even though it leads them nowhere every single time.

As a member of the police force, I took the call, but they abruptly ended the conversation and chose not to ring back. 😊

another ppi caller, total spam!

Gets called on twice daily, no matter what. I just ignore it.

PPI reclaim lot. Brilliant, had em chatting for more than 10 mins and even spoke with a manager. They got proper irate when they twigged I was messing about with them and then just cut the call.

So irritating, really wish someone would put an end to this.

Got a call from some bloke with an Asian accent claiming my bank owes me cash from some PPI credit card thing. The crazy part? He had no clue who I was, my bank, or any details at all! I politely said if he keeps bothering me, I'll mark the number as spam and even hint at legal steps. Guess what? They rang me again the very next day. Proper annoying and totally no shame!

So irritating!

Totally pointless!

I received multiple calls today from someone who insisted they were affiliated with a PPI firm. Despite my insistence to be removed from their contact list, the caller persisted and even tried to engage in a debate. He then started asking for my name, claiming he wanted to speak with me one-on-one because he thought we’d hit it off! Naturally, I declined but was keen to note the company's name for reporting purposes. At that point, he attempted to provide his personal mobile number. Unbelievable! - caller: 0161 939 0225 Manchester, England

Would you kindly just stop?

I received a call from what they alleged to be the PPI department of a claims specialist. When I asked them to remove my details from their list, they firmly refused, insisting that I had no entitlement to have my personal information deleted. I then sought their company information so I could lodge a complaint, but they abruptly disconnected the call. What an unpleasant experience!

kept ringing with no answer when i picked up tried calling the number back and got some robot message saying the info on it had been illegally sold they also said the folks who first owned the number had shut down it’s mad how these numbers get traded over and over again, and we just have to deal with it cus these companies dont care about anything!

I've received a total of eight calls in the last couple of days from the number 0161 939 0225. Quite relentless, I must say!

Receiving calls about PPI every day is becoming quite tiresome. Thankfully, the people on the other end are rather daft! Whenever I find myself with a spare ten minutes, I like to have a bit of sport with them, nudging them till they get really flustered. It’s actually quite amusing, to be honest. Give it a go!

I've been receiving numerous calls from a lady with an Indian accent, who insists she represents the PPI Team out of Manchester. She mentioned that my information was procured from the National Consumer Database. When I requested her to delete my details, she claimed she couldn't assist with that. I brought up the Data Protection Act, and then she abruptly ended the call!

Just this afternoon, I received a rather curious phone call regarding a supposed refund. The caller enquired if I had seen my PPI refund come through. I was a bit taken aback, as I had no idea what she was on about and made it clear I hadn’t applied for any such refund. She then insisted, 'That's precisely why I'll be sending you the paperwork.' I’ve since put a block on the number. - caller: PPI

Over the past few days, I've been getting constant calls from 01619390225 about some 'package' they say I'm supposed to have. Pretty sure it's just a trick to grab your private info. Does anyone know how I can stop them from ringing me?

I'm receiving calls from this number on my mobile three times daily, and it's quite exasperating. I haven’t picked up the phone when they ring, yet despite my attempts to block them, the calls keep coming. It's been a relentless few weeks dealing with this nuisance.

This number has been harassing me with calls nearly twice each day. I've taken to ignoring them, but honestly, it's becoming a real bother. I wish there were a way to make it stop, but I'm at a bit of a loss. Is there anyone who might have a solution to this irritating problem?

Got loads of calls about PPI, asking if I ever had a loan or used a credit card. Kept telling them to stop ringing and erase my info. One time I just picked up and left the phone. Ended up blocking the number.

I keep receiving calls from this number a couple of times daily, usually two or three times, but interestingly, they never leave any voicemails. Quite odd if you ask me!

I've been receiving calls from this number on a daily basis for the past several weeks. It's become rather tiresome, and I've resorted to simply ignoring them at this point. Does anyone have any advice on what steps I could take to handle this?

Had a pair of phone calls today, and I regrettably missed the second one. In a moment of sheer daftness, I chose to return the call. An automated voice greeted me, informing me that their services had put a block on this number, which could only stop incoming calls, not outgoing ones. The whole thing seemed incredibly fishy, to say the least. The voice was like a rapid-fire version of a female Stephen Hawking, and I immediately got the sense I could be slapped with charges for making that call. Just before the minute mark hit, I decided it was best to hang up. - number: 01619390225

Got a call about some PPI claim, saying they need to "verify" my info. I told them my address was Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow Ches. SK9 5AF - which is actually the Office of the Information Commissioner’s place. Told them to send their letters there. They've rung me 3 times on Friday and another 3 times today. I've reported them through the OIC website now. If more people do the same, maybe these lot will get slammed with a big fine and shut down, like others have been recently.

I've been receiving an incessant stream of calls from this number, and honestly, it's wearing me down. I'm quite keen to find out what actions are being taken to address this incessant nuisance!

I've had this number calling me repeatedly - I refuse to pick up! It baffles me how many people are voicing their frustrations here, yet it feels like no action is being taken. Reporting these nuisances seems just as pointless as their incessant calls!

Got a call this morning about PPI claims, and I told the bloke I didn’t have any. He then had the nerve to call me a liar! I told him where to go and hung up. Since then, he’s phoned me four more times!

Receiving calls every single day-it's relentless and truly bothersome.

I've had three calls from this number within just a few hours, and it's been a different individual each time. I've already made it clear that I'm not interested, yet they keep ringing!

Received two calls from this number today - caller: 01619390225.

In the span of just eight hours, this number rang me thrice. Each time, a woman who went by the name Sarah was on the line, and I recognised her voice straight away. She was quite unpleasant and rather combative throughout our discussions. The purpose of her call was about reclaiming PPI refunds, yet she seemed intent on interrupting me repeatedly and failed to grasp that I had no outstanding PPI claims. Our interactions were rather tense, culminating in some rather pointed exchanges. When I requested that she remove my number from their list, she firmly stated she wouldn’t comply. - Caller: Sarah, PPI refunds.

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be Micheal Turner, complete with a thick Asian accent. He insisted he was bestowing a monetary prize upon me, but when I declined his offer, things took a turn. He then inquired about my financial situation, asking if I had a mortgage, credit cards or loans. I replied in the negative, and to my surprise, he shifted gears, asking if I'd consider donating to a charity. I cheekily told him I'd support any charity that could eradicate fraudsters like him. This clearly ticked him off, and he started hurling insults, boasting that he had access to my bank information. I simply responded with, “Good for you, Micheal Turner, or whatever your true identity is!” 😜

I'm being bombarded by this number, receiving at least five calls a day. I've repeatedly requested them to cease their incessant ringing, yet they persist without mercy. Even though I've attempted to block their number, they seem to have found a way to bypass it. It's infuriating!

I received a letter from this number, stating that I had supposedly won a prize in the Euromillions Peoples Postcode Lottery. Oddly enough, the address was in Belgium, yet the stamp was clearly British, costing 63p to send. Is it correct that 0161 is the area code for Manchester?

I've been receiving an incessant stream of calls from this number on my mobile, all regarding PPI claims.

I've been getting calls from this number on my mobile at least a couple of times daily, yet I’ve chosen not to pick up. I've finally decided to add it to my blocked contacts, so fingers crossed that does the trick!

I've been getting calls from this number (01601 939 0225) on my phone multiple times daily. I usually don’t pick up if it’s someone I don't recognise, but I was a bit curious so I checked it out here. After seeing what came up, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number on my phone.

gave me a ring and left a voicemail but no sound, total load of rubbish if you ask me.

Had some dodgy PPI folks keep ringing me non stop, real rude lot too. Proper annoying, rang loads of times and now I just ignore them cause it’s a waste of time. Anyone know why no one’s cracked down on these muppets yet? It’s about time something was done!

The caller didn't provide their name or the name of any organisation they represented. They claimed to be phoning about a parcel that was supposedly on its way to me. As I was indeed awaiting a delivery, I decided to stay on the line. However, things took a turn when they asserted that to finalise the delivery, they needed to send me a couple of letters. At that point, it dawned on me that this might not be a legitimate call, so I inquired about who they were trying to reach. Their vague reply was simply "you." When I pressed for more information regarding the identity of the person they were attempting to contact, they insisted on keeping it a secret for "data protection" reasons. Recognising it as a ploy, I informed them that I was onto their scam and promptly ended the conversation. Thankfully, I haven't heard back since. - caller: Information withheld

I've been receiving some quite impolite phone calls lately.

What a rather unsettling encounter! My husband picked up the phone only to be greeted by a rather abrupt individual who inquired about my whereabouts. When asked his name, he claimed it was Michael Adams. Intrigued, my husband requested his phone number, and the chap rather unhelpfully suggested that he should check his own mobile for it. However, after some insistence, he provided the number 08008498060. Curiosity got the better of me when I returned home, so I rang that number hoping to reach this Michael Adams. To my bewilderment, the person on the other end had never heard of him and assured me he was not affiliated with their company. It’s a stark reminder to be cautious about the information we divulge over the phone! Cheers!

It was about PPI, they called me.

Those people who wont take your number out of their system are really annoying.

01619390225 rang me but no one said anything, I got a personal alarm and kept it going until they hung up.

I had a rather persistent caller trying to pry my address for some PPI nonsense. I made it abundantly clear, time and again, that I wasn’t interested in her offer. She then had the nerve to say, “Are you quite certain, love?” with a noticeable accent. It didn’t take long for me to send her packing. I even cheekily asked her to spell out “not interested,” which promptly led her to hang up in a huff. That number’s firmly blocked now. - caller: PPI scam artist from Manchester.

Last week, I received a call about pensions, but they were after my personal details. I found the topic intriguing, yet their process felt overly lengthy. Now, I’m bombarded with calls from various numbers. - Caller: Pensions?

I've had it up to here with these persistent callers! I’ve put them on my blocked list after just a handful of annoying calls, yet somehow they keep finding a way through by leaving voicemails every thirty minutes or so. What a nuisance! Just for laughs, when they requested my email, I cheekily replied with, "[email protected]"! Quite the laugh, isn’t it?

They claimed to be from some PPI claim group. I told them thanks for disturbing me after work. I told the lady a couple times I want my number off their list and that we’ve already got back all the PPI on loans we had. She just ended the call after that.

I've been getting calls from a number I don't recognise - 0161 939 0225. It's quite annoying, to be honest. Anyone else had a similar experience with this caller?

I've been receiving calls from this number for what seems like forever now, often ringing incessantly several times a day, which is nothing short of infuriating. I’ve accidentally answered a couple of times and, in a recent encounter, I explicitly requested them to remove me from their list and cease all calls, but they just won't take the hint. These overseas cold callers are relentless, trying to convince you to lodge a fictitious claim against your bank for alleged refunds. They claim that if you've ever had a bank account, they can secure you a reimbursement-it's just a ruse known as the PPI scam. The irony is that making a false claim is illegal and could land you in serious trouble. After enduring countless calls, I even pretended to consider their offer, but honestly, I couldn't recall my bank details, nor my surname or complete address at that moment. The chap on the phone, sounding distinctly foreign, assured me he’d call back once I had my information handy. He boasted that the process to claim this so-called PPI refund would take no longer than ten minutes on the phone with him. However, if I pursued this and they succeeded, they’d pocket a hefty 30-39% of any refund as their commission. Honestly, it smacks of insincerity! Regardless of their claimed legitimacy, using these folks for claims means surrendering a substantial slice of your due refund as commission, assuming they are indeed a legitimate UK outfit-which, in my opinion, they are not. I've blocked countless numbers on my phone, yet the nuisance continues unabated. I genuinely believe firms like Digital Mail ought to be barred from allocating local UK numbers to these foreign scamsters whose main goal appears to be duping the unsuspecting public. It's worth mentioning that I haven't held any credit cards or loans in the last decade, so these calls are essentially just phishing attempts. I encourage others to stop wasting precious time trying to block them; it’s futile since they’ll just switch numbers. They operate under the pretext of offering a refund when, in reality, they’re just trying to scrounge some money from naive individuals, raising funds through harassment-a deplorable tactic! If you realise fairly quickly that they have no legitimate reason to call you, a simple “No thank you” followed by hanging up should do the trick. Should they persist, hang up again without a second’s thought. Reporting the calls or obsessing over blocking them is, frankly, a waste of energy when they could very well be ringing from a different number again before you know it. I also wanted to share that if you find yourself at the receiving end of such calls, reaching out to Digital Mail directly at 020 7060 2000 every single time can be quite effective. I've made it a point to refuse all calls from the number 0161 939 0225, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they already have another number ready to bombard us with once we collectively block this one. Regardless of how politely I've declined their offers, they remain undeterred, invariably continuing to pester my mobile. Why should I allow a foreign entity to line their pockets at my expense? It’s imperative to take a stand and hold Digital Mail accountable, and I will be reporting them to the ICO at 0300 123 2040 for enabling this PPI scam chaos and neglecting to inform authorities about their clients' unscrupulous calling behaviours. We must be proactive in voicing our frustrations to Digital Mail each time their unscrupulous clients reach out-let’s make them aware of the distress they're causing by calling us with deceptive PPI scam offers!

I've repeatedly told these callers to stop reaching out to me and to take my number off their lists. It's been five years since I went bankrupt, and I've made this clear to them on multiple occasions. Yet, despite my requests, they still persist in calling me.

Had a rather peculiar exchange with a courteous gentleman from overseas earlier today. He seemed quite pleasant, so I played along for a short while, claiming the connection was dreadful before I decided to terminate the call. He redialled straight away, but I simply answered and hung up again. He then tried contacting me once more, and I chose to let it go to voicemail. Oddly enough, he attempted again about 6 hours later, which I completely ignored. Quite the tenacious individual, I must say! He did request that I remain on the line at one point, which struck me as rather dodgy. As for who he is, I've no clue, though he did bring up PPI at some point.

Got a call on my phone at 12.10 today but I didn’t pick up.

This phone number is quite bothersome!

These persistent calls seem to be probing for my banking and personal information.

loads of folks keep ringin my place all the time

Can someone please block this number?

On the 26th of October, 2015, I had a call from a chap claiming to represent a PPI firm out of Manchester. He was quite persistent in trying to get my email and date of birth, but I refrained from sharing any personal information. It did put me on edge, though, knowing he already had access to both my mobile number and home address. The caller identified himself as Daniel.

I've received multiple calls from this number, and each time it's the same old story: I either get cut off or they mention something about a PPI claim. Today, I answered again and firmly told the chap that I wasn't interested at all, as I've already sorted out my PPI claims and have all the necessary paperwork to prove it. I requested to be taken off their list, but he insisted that he couldn't do that until he sent me some forms, citing some so-called legal obligation! Even after I made it clear that I had no desire to engage in this further, he kept pushing back against everything I said. I refused to provide my address for paperwork I absolutely do not want, and after that, I just hung up, as he wouldn't take a hint! - caller: 0161 939 0225

I regret the moment I decided to pick up the phone for these pests. I mentioned I was occupied, and they had the cheek to ask when I’d be free. I said my only window is during my lunch break, and since that day, they’ve relentlessly bombarded me with calls from around 12:30 to 1:30 every single day. There’s also this Cardiff number that's been barking at me, and I can’t shake the feeling it’s linked to the same lot. What a right nuisance! - caller: 01619390225

I asked if they were interested in getting quicker broadband for a good price. The lady sounded a bit baffled and just ended the call.

I received a phone call from a chap named "James" who was quite insistent about discussing PPI. I made it clear I had no interest, but he just kept droning on as if I hadn’t said a word. In the end, I had to end the call. Curiously enough, he rang me back immediately, wanting to know why I disconnected. It was like he was on autopilot, launching into his PPI spiel all over again! - caller: James

This number just won’t stop ringing me, despite my requests for them to take me off their list. I’ve even asked how they obtained my details, and instead of answering, they just cut the line. Really frustrating! The number is 0161 939 0225.

I've had calls from 01619390225 non stop, it's really annoying and feels like harassment.

I receive them relentlessly, both on my landline and mobile. My landline blocks all unknown callers, yet I've been inundated with 25 voicemails, each one declaring, "this is your final warning." It's quite revolting; something ought to be done to prohibit this. I can only imagine the cost they're racking up on their phone bill! - Caller: 0161 939 0225

This number keeps ringing me almost daily, so I finally decided to block it. I just tried this site for the first time today and it’s been super useful. Didn’t know about it earlier!

PPI callers, can you believe it? 😤📞 Just received a call from 0161 939 0225 based in Manchester. It’s really getting on my nerves! 😩

Received two calls from this number today. I picked up on the second attempt, but it was impossible to make out a single word! The background noise was akin to being in a raucous nightclub! After telling them thrice that I couldn’t catch what they were saying, I decided to hang up. - number: 0161 939 0225

PPI firm kept ringing me up loads, like multiple times a day. They stopped once I put them on block.

This number has been ringing me on my mobile every day for the past 5 days, skipping only Sunday. I’m not planning to pick up and will be reporting them to the Ombudsman.

ignored the call, these ppl are really annoying, ringing me at least a couple times every week, seriously hope someone puts an end to these muppets soon

Called today and just blocked the number, bunch of tosser’s.

gets calls all the time on my phone, just don't bother answering them

Gave my number a bell today, but I completely disregarded it. I've now marked this number down in my ever-growing list of nuisance calls, which has reached a whopping 38 in just the past few months! Each time the phone rings, I consult my list and let it go to voicemail. It’s quite beneficial, especially when you're anticipating a callback from a legitimate business. Definitely a worthwhile strategy! Cheers, CK

I recently received a call from someone who wouldn't take no for an answer. I informed him I was in the midst of putting my daughter to bed, and instead of respecting that, he started shouting, “Listen, mate, listen to what I’m saying…” It was ridiculously loud! I had to tell him to pipe down and swiftly added the number to my reject list. What a nuisance!

They keep ringing me at all sorts of times, day and night, which is mad annoying. I never pick up if I don’t know the number, so I haven’t actually talked to anyone, but it feels like they’re just pestering me non-stop. Just got a new phone and still figuring out how to block numbers on it, but as soon as I do, this one’s going straight on the blacklist for sure.
