Reports on phone number 01619740608
12 yearsI've been getting calls from this number for weeks now, sometimes they ring multiple times one after the other with hardly any pause. I picked up yesterday, and the person claimed to be from the 'road traffic office' regarding an accident I supposedly had. I wasn't polite and just hung up. Then it rang again and my partner took the call; they gave him the exact same story and he wasn't very friendly either. It's honestly getting seriously frustrating.12 yearsThis number kept ringing me a few times about a road accident back in January 2014 involving my husband. The caller, who introduced himself as Gary from a firm called the 'Road Traffic Bureau', said they had gotten our details from our insurance company. He claimed there was £2,000 set aside for my husband because of a minor injury he's supposedly entitled to. To get the payment, we just needed to answer some questions. I told him since the info came via our insurer, he should get in touch with their legal dept for answers, and we’d wait for the cheque. That was the end of the call...GaryRoad Traffic Bureau12 yearsBeware, this is a well known scam. They use this number and others just to trick folks into giving away their personal details. Make sure to report it on the official MIB site by submitting the complaint online.MIB12 yearsSo I got a call from this really cheeky bloke who somehow knew I’d had a car accident last month. He told me I had to answer some questions to stop all the other calls coming through. I told him I was fed up with all these calls already, and he just snapped back saying if I didn’t speak to him, his mates would keep ringing me until I did. Proper annoying!12 yearsI'm getting about 8 to 10 calls daily. It's driving me mad.12 yearsGot a few calls from different places today, they kept ringing me. So I just made up this crazy story about a bad accident - said I spent a month in hospital and even lost a limb or something mad like that. Had a right laugh messing with them for like half an hour!12 yearsThis number kept ringing me loads, and when I finally picked up, the person on the other end was really nasty, saying some awful stuff about the crash I’d been in. I attempted to ring them back to raise a complaint, but no luck - they don’t pick up calls. Honestly, I’m quite upset and want to do something about what they said.12 yearsSince my car accident back in September, this number has been ringing me non-stop, like 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes even twice a day. It’s really starting to get on my nerves. I tried calling them back to ask them to stop, but I never manage to get through to anyone. Proper frustrating!12 yearsI've had a similar experience with this number, getting multiple calls every day. Back in October, when I needed help after a car crash, I actually used RAC's service. But these people won’t clearly say who they are or why they’re calling. When I try to ask, they sometimes get a bit pushy, so I just end up ignoring their calls now.RAC12 yearsI’ve told them loads of times to stop ringing me and take my number off their list, and even though I’ve been on the TPS since my husband’s car accident, they still phone me every single day, sometimes as late as 9 in the evening. I found out from some other companies that the RAC must have given them my details, but apparently it’s normal practice for accident info to be put on a shared database for two years, which all these claims companies can use. The others who called stopped after I asked them to, but this one just won’t give up. They even claimed once that I called them, which is not true. I tried calling them back today after a missed call to find out their company name, but I just got an automated message saying they can’t take incoming calls. Honestly, don’t pick up if they ring you!Telephone Preference ServiceRACAccident Claims12 yearsA few months back, I had applied online for a job and recently got a call from that company. They asked me to pay £250 for some kind of membership with them. Felt a bit dodgy to me.12 yearsSince a small fender bender in late October 2014, I've been getting endless calls from this number. The callers, mostly British blokes going by names like Daniel or Lawrence, claim to be from a so-called 'Road Traffic Bureau' asking about the accident I had. It was a minor bump caused by the other driver, and these guys seemed to be fishing for info because the other party, who they oddly knew the name of, might have been planning a personal injury claim. I was wary and refused to share anything, instead telling them to speak with my Broker or Insurance company and to stop bothering me. It struck me as strange that they knew my mobile number and the other driver's identity but had no clue about any injuries - well, there weren’t any. They insisted they'd got my details from the Insurers but it all felt fishy. No surprise motor insurance premiums keep rising when these people try to dig up stuff about incidents that aren’t really there.UKDanielLawrenceRoad Traffic BureauBureau12 yearsI just had a ring from this number. They said they were from the motor insurance bureau and got my info from some other insurers. They were trying to “assist” me cause the other party in my accident apparently won’t accept fault. Proper dodgy if you ask me.12 yearsthis company just wont stop ringing me up. they never give you a chance to speak, just keep jabbering away like some kind of robots. i reckon the r.a.c must have handed out phone numbers without asking people first. such a pain!R. A. C.12 yearsThey keep ringing non stop since our car crash, even after we told them loads of times we're not interested at all.Submit Your Own Report (0161 974 0608)
