Reports on phone number 01619897862
1 yearGot a call from a lady claiming to be from 'o2 / Virgin Media' about my SIM card, even though I’m not with them. Definitely a scam.Virgin MediaO21 yearGot a call from 01619894784 but it was silent. I live nowhere near Manchester and I’m on the TPS, so I just blocked it straight away.ManchesterTelephone Preference Service2 yearsSome bloke rang me saying I’d paid too much on my mortgage and that he had cash for me. I asked him what company he was from, since I have a bunch of mortgages to figure out. Told him to send something in the post as he had my address and postcode. He said he couldn’t, so I told him to get lost, figured he was a scammer. He kept babbling and I just ended the call. Honestly, some people are daft.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying I’m owed some PPI back on an old mortgage. Told them I’d already tried that and it never goes anywhere. Hung up and blocked the number straight away.2 yearsGot a call from 01619897862 but missed it. Didn’t leave any message or anything.2 yearsEven though I’m on the TPS, this bloke from India phoned me up asking if there were any problems with my house. I just hung up straight away and let him ramble away on his own. Waste as much of his time as possible, that’s what I say!2 yearsSome bloke rang me up about a PPI refund on a mortgage from years ago. Since he was saying it was for a workplace mortgage, I kept asking what the address was linked to the mortgage, but he kept dodging it and refused to tell me. Eventually, I told him straight up that it sounded like a scam and he was just trying to rip me off. Lo and behold, the chap hung up on me pretty quick after that!2 yearsGot a call from this number at 9:40 in the morning. I picked up but there was just silence on the other end, no one spoke a single word. I said hello a few times but still nothing, so I ended the call.2 yearsI just got a call from this number about replacement windows. When I mentioned that I live in a privately rented flat, the guy just said thanks for answering and goodbye, then cut the call. Not sure what to make of it really??2 yearsGot a call I really didn’t want.2 yearsThe person on the phone had a really thick accent. They were saying something about getting a PPI refund from some old mortgage but when I asked for more info, they just hung up on me.2 yearsThis number rang me up about something to do with property, but I wasn't having any of it and just told them I wasn’t interested before putting the phone down. It sounded like a total scam, plus the caller had a really thick accent.2 yearsReported and blocked right away, total scam.2 yearsThere was this really hard-to-understand bloke talking rubbish with a heavy Indian accent, going on about some housing issues or something? Not quite sure what he meant.2 yearsI got a call about a mortgage refund, they already had my name and details. They even mentioned the mortgage I took to buy my house like 40 years back. Seems like a proper scam to me.2 yearsSo I got a call from a woman speaking with an Indian accent, asking if I had any leaks or something like that. I was curious and asked her how she got my phone number. She replied it was from some list. When I mentioned the Telephone Preference Service to her, she just hung up on me.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a thick Indian accent who could barely get his English out properly. He claimed he worked for some housing company and said I had leaks in my water system. Pretty sure it was some kind of scam!2 yearsGot a call from a young Asian woman asking about any leaks or damp issues in my 'house'. I explained it wouldn’t make sense since it’s actually an office. There was quite a delay in her reply and I could hear my own voice echo after I finished talking, which made me think it was probably from India or somewhere similar. She quickly said sorry, wrong number. Definitely felt like some kind of scam, as I didn’t recognise the number and they had no clue who they were trying to reach.India2 yearsGot a call from 01619897862 saying I had some good news about PPI on my mortgage and that I could claim compensation. The person sounded Indian and didn’t even have my address right. I quickly cut them off and ended the call. Looks like I’m not alone dealing with this annoying pest.2 yearsGot a call from some bloke about PPI compensation, even though I've never had any. He reckoned I was due about £3000 but first wanted me to pay £250 as a fee. He mentioned he’d drop by my place but disappeared without showing up. Makes you think, doesn’t it?2 yearsI just checked the number they called me from, turns out it’s one of those PPI scam calls. Definitely dodgy!2 yearsThe phone just rang and they hung up right away.2 yearsThis number has rung me up three times now, with the caller speaking with an Asian accent, which isn’t much of a surprise. They kept repeating the same story about me being owed nearly £3,000 in PPI compensation, but I’ve never taken out a mortgage or loan so it just doesn't add up. They even called me Ms, which shows they had no idea what my actual name is. Since they’re talking about money, I’d say this is a pretty persistent and dodgy scam if you ask me.2 yearsTotally a scammer, really. What else could there be to figure out?2 yearsI got calls a couple times, one was from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from some Housing Association. She kept calling me Madam and kept asking about a leak in my home but never actually said who she was or confirmed any details about me. For weeks now I've also been getting calls asking if I was in a car accident, usually right around the time I’m renewing insurance for my flat or car. Feels like these insurance companies might be selling or careless with our info, since these dodgy calls keep coming.Housing2 yearsThis number just called me, some guy with an Asian accent claiming I’m owed a PPI refund from a loan supposedly taken out 40 years ago. He actually knew my name and address, which is creepy because I’ve never taken out any loan. My mortgage is only in my husband’s name, so I’m certain this is just a scam!2 yearsIt’s a laugh really, they called this landline from Manchester but then the number shows up as unknown or doesn’t even exist! I can’t figure out why they’re ringing from a place they’re not even based in. They just seem to be faking it with a Manchester number. This needs to stop, it’s annoying getting calls from numbers that aren’t even real. Feels like a proper joke now, getting calls claiming to be from Manchester when they’re actually abroad, probably some dodgy call centre. How daft are they?Manchester2 yearsOn 4th of April, 2024 at around 10:54 am, someone tried to ring me but couldn’t get through my phone’s security check where they have to say who they are first. Seems very likely it was a scam, and it might have been risky.2 yearsI’m not sure who it was but it definitely seemed like a call centre. They actually called me using my own number, no clue how they managed that. The lady on the phone sounded a bit Indonesian or something, and I couldn’t really catch what she was saying. After a bit, I just ended the call. She was asking if I knew anyone for building jobs, which makes no sense to me since it’s nothing to do with them or my house. Honestly, they need to quit ringing me with these pointless calls.2 yearsI just cut the call off as soon as I picked up. Couldn't be anything legit, probably one of those dodgy cold calls trying to sell you something or rip you off. Definitely adding this one to my blacklist.2 yearsJust got a call about 10 minutes back from a number I didn’t recognise, although it had a Manchester area code. My BT phone showed it as a Nuisance caller? Looks like it’s going straight onto my growing block list.Manchester2 yearsGot a call about whether the house was dealing with problems like mould or damp. Sounds like one of those scams to me.2 yearsThis number called me once before, claiming I was due a mortgage refund. Thing is, the person on the line didn’t have a clue about my name, where I live, or which bank I use. This time it was quiet, though.2 yearsOn 3rd October 2024 around 11.10, my home phone kept ringing over and over but I didn’t pick up. After seeing the feedback here about it being a scam, I decided to block the number straight away.2 yearsGot a call from the guy mentioned above, claiming it was about some PPI refund. Definitely a dodgy scam!Asia2 yearsA bit of silence at first, then a man with an Asian accent called asking for Mr and my first name. When I questioned who he was, he just ended the call.2 yearsNo words, seemed fishy right away. Found out for sure after looking it up here.2 yearsLiving in the Scottish Borders, I usually just ignore these calls 'cause they often turn out to be scams. Whenever I look them up on your site, that's pretty much the case. It's always a bit dodgy when they ring me from an 0161 number, makes me wonder why they'd bother calling all the way out here!BordersScotland2 yearsGot a call from what sounded like a hectic call centre in Asia - turned out to be a tenant housing scam. Be careful!Asia2 yearsPicked up the call and there was nothing but silence on the other end.2 yearsGot a call from this number on my landline earlier today but they didn’t bother to leave any message. Honestly, I’d say this number’s pretty dodgy in my opinion.2 yearsThese con artists tried to scam me by pretending to buy clothes from Jacamo, using stolen info. Jacamo’s office is in Manchester, so I reckon the crooks are somewhere nearby too. They’ve rung me twice on my landline and once on my mobile already.JacamoManchester2 yearsI didn’t pick up and they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail.2 yearsGot a call from a call centre in India. They were asking about a mortgage I supposedly paid off and claimed I was owed thousands. Total scam, be careful!2 yearsGot a call on 27th Sept at around 12:08. The voice seemed to be an Asian woman claiming to be from Housing Repairs. She asked if I needed any repairs done to my house. When I mentioned my roof had been blown off, she just ended the call straight away.Housing Repairs2 yearsThey just rang me but I didn’t pick up. I’m on the TPS list, but clearly they’re not bothered about that.2 yearsOn 27/09/2024 at about 4:45pm, I got a call from an Asian lady claiming to be from some Housing Repairs service. She asked if I needed any repairs done, but was pretty unclear about what exactly they’d do. When I pressed her to say which organisation she was representing, she just ended the call.Housing Repairs2 yearsAs soon as I answered, the line just went dead quiet.2 yearsGot a call asking if I was having issues with my housing, sounded like a total scam to me.2 yearsGot a call around 2:20 this arvo. Usually I just ignore numbers I don’t recognise but felt like picking up this time. Some bloke with an Indian accent, connection wasn't great. Claimed to be from BT and that I was owed some cash. Told him to stop talking nonsense and not to call back. Marked it as Dangerous since it involved money and could be risky for older or vulnerable people.BT2 yearsGot a call from some Asian guy claiming I was due a rebate on my mortgage. I told him I haven’t had a mortgage in years, and he just said alright, cheers, then hung up. What a cheeky bloke.2 yearsNo word from them, just silence on the other end.2 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy using this number, saying my PPI claim was successful. I told him straight up he was trying to scam me, hung up, and then blocked the number so he can’t ring again.2 yearsI picked up the phone after it rang, but there was absolute silence on the other end (luckily), so I just hung up straight away.2 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from UK Housing, asking if there was any damage to my house. I just told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call.UK2 yearsI kept getting calls from a man with an Asian accent and another person he said was his boss, both insisting I had some P.P.I. money waiting for me. I decided to humour them just to see what they wanted. They told me to send £250 in cash to some address down in Dorset or near there, saying a guy would show up at my house with my P.P.I. payout after that. Total rubbish, honestly. Don’t fall for it, people.Dorset2 yearsGot a call from 01619897862, no idea who it was. Didn’t even leave a message on my answerphone. Felt a bit suspicious, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number. Watch out for this one!2 yearsThis number keeps ringing me and I just ignore it every time cause it’s obviously a scam. Really annoying, but thankfully, if you don’t pick up, it’s no bother at all.2 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent talking about a PPI refund on my mortgage. They said they just needed to check a couple of things, but it sounded dodgy to me. I just hung up straight away - felt like a total scam.2 yearsCalled the number but no one answered, just silence.2 yearsI’m so fed up with these calls, even though we’re on the TPS list. Honestly, just do us a favour and disappear!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was calling about housing repairs from the UK. She asked if I had any housing problems. Seemed like a total scam, really obvious.UK Housing Repairs2 yearsThey rang me once more from Manchester but didn't bother leaving any voicemail.Manchester2 yearsPicked up and no one said a word. Blocked straight away!2 yearsGot a call earlier from someone with a very obvious Indian accent trying to flog some PPI claim. Felt really dodgy and could easily be a scam, so watch out!2 yearsGot a call from a guy who said he was an Asian man claiming I was supposed to get a mortgage rebate. But he couldn’t even name the street where this property was, and when I asked about the mortgage lender or building society, he had no clue either. Once I started pressing for details, he just gave up on the chat and hung up.2 yearsThe phone rang and when my wife picked up, nobody said a word. Classic scam call as far as I can tell.2 yearsJust blocked another annoying caller thanks to this site - didn’t even stick around to listen to their whole pitch.2 yearsI answered but nobody spoke, so I couldn’t identify the number. My gut says it might’ve been a scam though.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Astan, with a really thick accent who kept saying I was entitled to a rebate on a mortgage from like 40 years ago. They claimed to be calling from London but the number showed up as being from Manchester. Needless to say, I just said goodbye straight away...LondonManchester2 yearsFor sure, this was a total scam.2 yearsGot a call on my landline from this number and some guy with an Indian or Pakistani accent asked for Mr Thomas. I told him he had the wrong number and then just ended the call.Thomas2 yearsNot this PPI nonsense again! These scammers just want more details. I ended the call straight away. Proper fed up with these people ringing me non stop.2 yearsHe sounded Asian and I just couldn’t make out what he was saying, so I ended up hanging up.Asia2 yearsGot a call from an unknown number but they didn't leave a voicemail. Looked it up here and turns out it's a scam.2 yearsGot a call saying I was due PPI from some old mortgage firm. When I asked which company, they couldn’t say and just rattled off a bunch of other mortgage names that had nothing to do with me. Definitely a scam, trying to fish for my details. Oddly, they already had my full name, phone number and address. I’m registered with the TPS, so how the heck do these con artists get through? BT really needs to stop selling lines to these scammers. They should be responsible for any cash these fraudsters make off people.TPSBT2 yearsGot a call from a bloke with awful English telling me my mortgage PPI claim went through. Thing is, I dont even have a mortgage!

I’ve been on the TPS list for ages, but lately, I’m getting loads of calls from what look like cold callers on my phone, and now even on my home line. The frustrating part is, I can't report them to TPS unless they actually say something.TPS2 yearsOn the morning of 28th August 2024, around 11.26am, my usual landline in Glasgow rang from the number 01619897862. I answered with a simple 'hello' but there was silence on the other end. When I looked into this number afterwards, it seems it's linked to scams or suspicious calls.Glasgow2 yearsSome bloke with a thick Asian accent called, saying he was "Mr Paul EhSmith from some department" but it was all gibberish to me. I told him to stop mucking about and find a proper job instead of pestering folks. He just said, "Excuse me?" so I repeated myself, telling him straight to get a real job and quit bothering people. He then goes, "Oh, alright," and that was that.Paul EhSmith2 yearsNo word said, just silence on the other end.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a really thick Asian accent. He was going on about some PPI refund I was due. He even knew my name and address, which freaked me out a bit. Then he started fishing for more personal info, pretty obvious it was a scam.

The bloke didn’t say his name or leave a message, just kept saying ‘hello’ a couple of times then cut off.

Definitely blocking that number.2 yearsThe moment I answered, they just ended the call right away.2 yearsSomebody rang up claiming I had some mortgage money coming to me. It was a person with an Indian or Asian accent, asking for my personal info. Totally annoyed me! 😡2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they were from the Housing Disrepair Service.
