01678659893 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01678659893 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam originating from outside the UK, often claiming to represent well-known mobile providers like Carphone Warehouse, O2, Vodafone, Currys, or EE. Callers typically offer fake promotional deals or discounts, attempting to extract personal or financial information. Recipients frequently experience silent calls, abusive language, or calls that hang up abruptly when questioned. The callers often have poor English accents and appear to operate from fraudulent call centres abroad. It is strongly advised never to provide any details, return the calls, or press any prompted numbers. Blocking the number and reporting it as spam is recommended, as genuine organisations no longer use these aggressive cold-calling tactics. Users should remain vigilant and treat such calls as scams.

Claimed to be from Carphone Warehouse; it could be a sales pitch or a dodgy call. Best to be cautious.

I received a call from a chap claiming to be from Carphone Warehouse, and he tried to entice me with some so-called "exclusive" mobile phone offers. However, I quickly realised that these deals were nothing but a ruse. It’s a sneaky scam aimed at filching your financial information! Be on your guard!

Got a call from an unknown number at 10:45 this morning. My phone flagged it as maybe a scam or fraud call. The person hung up straight away when I didn’t give a friendly response after they asked how I was!

The caller claimed to be from O2. When I questioned him, he started shouting and insulted me, calling me an M F'er. He spoke with an African accent. I couldn’t help but laugh. I told him it takes one to know one, then he just ended the call. Honestly, quite let down that O2 might have people like that working for them.

I picked up and said hello but the caller didn’t reply at first, then they said hello back to me, i answered the same way but they seemed like they couldn’t hear what i said. This went on about 4 times before they just hung up on me. I think it might be some sort of scam, but i’m not totally sure, so at the very least it feels like harassment.

I told the bloke, who was trying to flog phones, that he’d rung my daughter’s number and she’s underage. He still tried to make out he was legit. When I got a bit firmer with him, he started swearing at me, which honestly just made me chuckle. I said, “Gotcha now!” and then he just cut the call.

I got a call from this number, but there was a weird lag when I picked up. A woman finally spoke and was chuckling like mad. She claimed to be from Currys/PC World. When I asked where she got my number, she just hung up on me. Definitely not a legit call from Currys/PC World - it’s a SCAM for sure.

Got a call claiming to be from Carphone Warehouse offering some kinda deal. Told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call, then blocked the number. Barely 5 minutes later, they rang back from a number that was just a bit different, finishing in 01678659895, so I blocked that one too.

The caller said they were from my phone company but I mentioned Vodafone and they didn’t correct me. They asked for £39 straight away and wanted my email to confirm everything, even though they said they were from Carphone Warehouse. Bit sketchy if you ask me.

Its one of those robo calls with a pre-recorded message that kinda tries to guess what you might say next. They were selling phones at supposed 'great deals'. Seriously, dont pick up, they could keep pestering you for ages.

Was watching the news this morning and they said Carphone Warehouse is no more, Currys runs it now and they DEFINITELY don’t cold call folks. Total scam effort from people who can barely speak or understand English properly. Makes me wonder if people in India get loads of calls from English accents trying to con them, or is it just a one-sided thing with scammers who have zero morals or respect?

They said they were from Microsoft, Currys, and Vodafone all in one call. Really strange chat. They openly said they’ve scammed around 1.5 million people and even confessed to purchasing the number 01678 659893 from another dodgy call centre. Also mentioned their family are Indian cops. The call centre seems to be in Kollam, South India, right across from Axis Bank at coordinates 8°53'35"N 76°36'50"E.

Don’t share any details with callers you don’t know. Never ring them back or press any keys if asked, as you might end up connected to a premium or overseas number and get hit with big charges on your phone bill.

I didn’t say anything so the person just ended the call. Feels like one of those robo calls just checking if my number is active since I have no idea who Bala is. I always keep quiet at the start because sometimes an automated voice takes over. If they hang up, it’s usually a sketchy caller.
