Reports on phone number 01698325487
8 yearsThey told me my internet was hacked or something. I told them I’d get in touch with my provider myself instead of chatting with them and then just ended the call!10 yearsThey claimed to be from BT and said they could offer me a deal on quicker broadband. They already had my email info. I told them to just send me the quote. Then they asked for a password and my mum's maiden name - like they needed that before sending anything??!! Seriously, who would hand over that kind of info to some random caller? I'm curious to see how this plays out!!BT10 yearsThis number 01698325487 claimed to be from insurance investigations, but the moment I mentioned he'd called a business, he just hung up on me, which was quite disrespectful.10 yearsGot a call about some fake "car crash" I supposedly had, even tho I'm on the TPS list. Annoying!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsThey called me at 12.25 this afternoon. Didn’t pick up, but if they ring again, I’m gonna just leave them waiting. You might wanna try that too.10 yearsThis morning nearly every extension in our office (over 50 people) got calls from the same number. Seems like they just dial through numbers in sequence since all ours are one after the other. It’s a dodgy claims company looking to catch people for accidents that never even took place. I don’t think your number’s been leaked or anything, they just blast out to whole ranges of numbers. Best bet is to keep them hanging, say you’re waiting on some forms or whatever, then leave them on hold as long as you can.10 yearsGot a call from this number around 8 in the evening on Saturday 14th Jan, same old tale about insurance checks and whatnot. My number’s ex-directory ‘cause of previous threats to my daughter, so I asked where they picked it up from - he was dodgy and then started pushing for info about my car to “handle my claim.” Thing is, neither me nor my wife have made any claim. Pretty obvious this is a scam.10 yearsCan anyone shed light on who just rang my number?10 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke claiming I was in a car crash that never happened! Proper rude and pushy, and when I told him to jog on, he just hung up on me! Said he got my info from my insurance, but when I asked which company he wouldn't say, just tried to smart off saying "don’t you know your insurer’s name?" Then he tried to guess it and got it totally wrong! Some cracking suggestions in these comments, next time I’m gonna keep him on the line and give him a load of nonsense!10 yearsGot a call from this number on my landline around 11 this morning. I didn't answer and it just went to the answerphone, but they didn't leave any message. Wonderin how they managed to get hold of my number when it’s ex-directory and I’m on the TPS? Seems really dodgy to me.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsJust got a call from some bloke about a car crash I supposedly had. I said he'd reached a chat line and it cost £4.50 a minute. Then I told him I was only in my underwear and ready for whatever, haha. He hung up quick, probably won’t bother ringing back again ????????10 yearsThese lot rang me again for the bajillionth time. I told them I had a run-in last week when my mate accidentally dropped a tin toy car on my head, and now I've been stuck with awful headaches. Got sent through to some supervisor and told him the same tale. Weirdly, they just hung up. Hilarious to hear an Indian guy called Alistair, eh? I enjoy messing with these callers. Next time I'll say I'm a homicide detective and they’ve stumbled upon a crime scene. Should be a laugh!IndiaAlistair10 yearsThe person on the other end just dropped the call.10 yearsGot a call about a car crash. Really pushy and wouldn’t stop bugging me. Wouldn’t reply to anything I asked. No accident happened at all. Proper nuisance to everyone.10 yearsNo sound then just a click, then a woman with an Asian accent said hello. I could hear like a call centre buzzing in the background, so I just hung up straight away, didn’t say a word. I’m on the TPS list so no clue how they got my number, really frustrating!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsI answered with hello and the call just dropped. How come this person still gets to keep bothering people? They should get a big fine and have their phone cut off. Ive gone ahead and blocked the number now.10 yearsHad a laugh keeping them on the line until they caught on - proper good fun!!10 yearsGot a call from a man with an Asian accent saying I’d had a car accident in the past couple of years. I told him I don’t even drive, and then he got really rude, so I just ended the call. Seriously wanna find out which firm’s selling our phone details. I’m ex-directory and registered with the TPS. These calls are proper unsettling and honestly a bit scary.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsThey rang all the phones in our office at the same time - just dead silence or some supposedly accident helpline.10 yearsSpoke with a strong sub-continental accent, really pushy and rude. They claimed someone in my family had been in an accident. Totally false, of course. As usual, they wouldn’t give any specifics and just hung up when I asked for more info. Classic scam.10 yearsHad a call from a lady with an Indian accent asking about this car crash I supposedly had, which is total rubbish. So I passed the phone to my 2 year old grandkid and they just went on a crazy babble fest together for a couple of minutes.10 yearsGot another call from someone trying to get info off me, saying they knew about some mishap I’d supposedly had. I played along, made up stuff to keep them going just for a laugh. Bit annoying but honestly made me chuckle for a bit. They said they'll ring again once I’ve located the papers with my proper car registration because apparently the one I gave was no good and I didn’t have the right docs nearby!10 yearsMaking such calls is actually prohibited by law. If you receive them, it is important to report the incident to Ofcom. If you have the opportunity to speak to the caller before they proceed, kindly inform them that their actions are in violation of the law and request that they remove your phone number from their contact lists. Failure to comply could result in legal consequences. This often acts as a deterrent for such calls. It is essential to spread awareness about the recent change in legislation and make more people aware that these calls are now illegal.Ofcom10 years01698325487 So, i asked who was calling and he said i’d been in a car crash and that info was from Direct Line insurance. I said alright, just tell me your full name and the company you’re with so i can ring them to confirm they passed me on to you. Then he just hung up. I dont even have a car. What a total idiot.Direct Line10 yearsSomeone called our office claiming I'd been in a car crash sometime in the past two years. I told them they ought to know my name if that were true, and they just ended the call right after that.10 yearsI experienced complete silence on the other end until I repeated "hello" three times. They claimed to be an insurance company in Swansea, but the call actually originated from Motherwell. An Asian woman on the line was insisting that I had been in a car accident. Absolutely not! I promptly ended the call.SwanseaMotherwell10 yearsJust get silent calls, so bloody annoying!10 yearsNo sound at all when they called.10 yearsAccident claims, someone from Asia who was so full of themselves. He tried to waste my time just like I was wasting his. He called me an idiot, so I just told him to piss off nicely. That was the end of the call.Asia10 yearsNo one spoke, just silence.10 yearsGot calls from an Indian guy claiming I'd been in a car crash, ringing all the numbers at our workplace. When he said I was in an accident, I played along and told him he was the one in trouble. After messing with him a bit, he finally caught on and just hung up.India10 yearsGot multiple calls from some accident advice line, kept ringing different phones at our office every few mins over the past couple hours.10 yearsReceived a call from a company asserting that I was involved in a car crash. The moment I mentioned I don't possess a vehicle, they abruptly disconnected. The voice had a distinctly Indian accent. Quite the unsettling experience!10 yearsGot a call around 8pm from an Indian lady asking about a car crash I supposedly had. When I kept asking for the date, she just hung up on me.10 yearsThis person called, asked how I was, then mentioned something about my accident. I just put the phone down.10 yearsJust had a call, no one spoke then they hung up.10 yearsGot a call from this number earlier but as I’m on the do not call list and keep my number private, I never answer unless I recognise it. The phone went to voicemail straight away and as soon as the caller realised, they just hung up. I dialled 1471 to see the last caller then looked it up here.10 yearsStarted with complete silence, then a faint Indian accent just managing to mumble 'hello'. I'm ex-directory - these calls really get on my nerves!10 yearsGot called twice from this number within a couple minutes. Told them I’m on the electoral roll, no car here, and they sounded like scammers, so I hung up quick.10 yearsI just received a call from this number but no one responded when I kept saying 'hello.' To figure out who it could be, I decided to look up the number online. I appreciate all the informational contributions from everyone here. I've made the decision not to answer any future calls from this number.10 yearsI don't have any acquaintances in Scotland and I'm unfamiliar with this phone number. Therefore, I made a note to look it up later on Google when they finished calling. The call seemed to go on for quite some time, so I presume it may be a Scottish branch of an Asian contact centre. Typically, calls like this are from cold callers attempting to deceive those who respond to the calls. They may use a Western first name and be very polite unless provoked, but their lack of British characteristics is apparent. Their typical scams involve accidents, whether involving a vehicle or a person, or supposed computer issues. It is very important not to provide any information to them!ScotlandGoogle10 yearsNo one said anything then just hung up.10 yearsSounds like one of those fake crash scams to me.10 yearsProper annoying lot. Rang at least 20 times within half an hour and never an answer, like someone just wasting my time.10 yearsAbsolute idiots. They must have phoned at least 20 times within a span of 30 minutes, yet there was never anyone on the line.10 yearsI recently received a phone call from this particular number, but despite answering with a polite greeting three times, nobody responded.10 yearsAccident Claim Line seems a bit dodgy to me.10 yearsDidn’t pick up the first time they rang, then they called back after about five minutes and the phone just went quiet!10 years01698325487 rang me. I didnt pick up the first time, then minutes later they called back but when I answered there was nothing but silence!10 yearsI received two phone calls where nobody said anything. As a result, I have decided to block their numbers on my mobile phone.10 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady, trying that same old car crash scam.10 yearsThey rang me twice within 30 minutes. No answer at their end, just silence before they cut off. Our number’s unlisted and we usually never share it unless we really have to.10 yearsno answer on the line. total pain in the neck.10 yearsI've received seven phone calls from this number in just 20 minutes! Each time they give me a new name and tell me about my supposed car accident. When I mention TPS registration and similar information, they simply laugh it off. It's high time that the relevant authorities take action to put an end to these annoying calls. They claim to be from Manchester, but it appears that they are using some kind of routing device.TPSManchester10 yearsJust received a phone call from an individual who had an Indian accent and identified himself as 'John'. He insisted he was in Manchester, but I have my doubts. It was the classic fraudulent accident claim helpline scam, run by the lowest of scammers.JohnManchester10 yearsGot a call just now from a bloke with an Indian accent who said his name was 'John' and that he was calling from Manchester. Sure, like I'd believe that. Same old accident claim scam trying to get at your details.JohnManchester10 yearsWe have been receiving calls from this number repeatedly through our business, causing immense disruption and obstructing our incoming calls! It is extremely frustrating to try and get through with all the interruptions caused by this number.10 yearsAs mentioned earlier, someone is making phone calls every 3 minutes and abruptly ending them.10 yearsI received two consecutive phone calls from this number tonight. On both occasions, there was complete silence when I answered the phone. I am a registered member of the TPS, so I find it puzzling how these companies manage to obtain my number. When I tried calling back to file a complaint, there was no response. Could someone please guide me on how to officially report this incident?TPS10 yearsGot two calls from this number within an hour, both times no sound at all.10 yearsBack in December 2016, I was involved in a car accident but the car was stationary and empty at that time. A passerby gave me the number plate of the vehicle that hit mine, so I made a claim to fix the damage, which has now been resolved. However, today I got about 10 calls within 10 minutes from this same number, all asking about my accident. I've told them over and over that everything is dealt with and I’m not claiming any injury compensation, but they just keep ringing!10 yearsNice bloke? Mistake? Annoying? Fraud?10 yearsI recently picked up my phone to find a call from a number I didn't recognize. An individual with an Asian accent claimed they needed to have a conversation with me about an accident I had been involved in. I clarified that I hadn't been in any accident, and in response, the caller abruptly hung up. In an attempt to voice my complaint, I tried calling the number back, but it was continuously engaged.10 yearsI picked up the phone, but they hung up right away,10 yearsThis number kept calling and showed up as international. When I finally picked up, it was a lady speaking with a strong Indian accent. She was asking if I’d been involved in an accident in the past three weeks. I said no, then she asked if anyone in my family had, and I said no again. So I asked for the name of her company, and guess what? She just hung up on me.10 yearsThe phone rang twice but no message was left. I chose not to return the call after learning about issues associated with this particular number.10 yearsGot a call at 16.46 asking if i’d been involved in a crash last Sunday. couldnt make out what the person was saying so i kept saying "accident" over and over. Then they just ended the call.10 yearsThey rang but ended the call as soon as we mentioned our company name.10 yearsSome prat just rang me up with some nonsense about an accident, wanted my reg number so I gave him 1 4M 4N 1D10T - the muppet then started swearing and slammed the phone down!10 yearsReceived a call from this number. It's terribly frustrating when they don't bother to utter a word after the call is answered.10 yearsGot a silent phone at 11:50 this morning. Ended up hanging up after about half a minute.10 yearsI received a call indicating that I had been involved in a car accident. Politely, I requested that they refrain from contacting me and remove my number from their records. However, the caller persistently interrupted me and, as a result, I firmly requested them to leave me alone by saying "clear off".10 yearsGot a call from this number at 2:45 pm. It was dead silent, then they just disconnected after half a minute :((10 yearsThese lot are a right pain. I’ve come up with a couple of ways to handle them. First, ask for the full registered address of their company and watch them hang up sharpish. Second, mess with their time just like they’re doing to mine. Like, quiz them on how they know about my car - what make is it? What do they know about the crash? Are they aware I was in hospital? Then drop the bomb that I don’t actually own a car. That usually sends them packing for a good few months, and it’s a bit of a relief knowing I’m stopping them from hassling anyone else.10 yearsGot a call from this number around 2:45 pm. No sound at all, just silence, then they hung up after about half a minute :((10 yearsGot called 15 times from this number in just 20 minutes. When I tried to talk to their manager, they just cut the call every time!!10 yearsGot called twice by this number within an hour. Both times the voice sounded Asian, first was a woman then a bloke, both mentioned Accident Services.10 yearsGot a call about some kind of payout for a car crash. I did have a minor bump not long ago but I wasn’t hurt at all. The way they were asking questions made me think it was dodgy, so I just ended the call. Then they rang me again after just 3 minutes from 02085755217.10 yearsI have just received a phone call about a car accident that didn't actually happen! I shouted so loudly that I believe my whole neighbourhood heard me. Does anyone have any information about the company connected to the phone number 01698325487? I would like to report them to the Financial Ombudsman. Thank you.Financial Ombudsman10 yearsI just ignored the call since I only answer when I recognise the number. Looked this one up though and after reading what others said here, I’m pretty happy I left it unanswered.10 yearsTry shouting or blowing a whistle down the phone, honestly. These clueless pests with nothing better to do deserve a proper telling off.10 yearsNo reply when I picked up so I ended the call straight away.10 yearsI answered the phone and greeted the person on the other end with a hello. An individual with an Indian accent asked how I was doing, addressing me as "madam". However, I promptly ended the call.10 years01698325487 rang me about a car crash. I’m on the TPS list.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsI really dont want these calls, im disabled and find it hard to even reach the phone sometimes.10 yearsJust got a call, they said I’d been in a car crash (no idea where that came from!!!) I brought up the TPS and the bloke just told me to f#!k off. Lovely.10 yearsGot two calls, picked up the first and told them off, warned them about TPS. The second call was about a crash we never been in.10 yearsPhone rang at 7:30am. I answered but heard nothing, just a weird garbled sound like the other person mentioned. Then the call just ended.10 yearsGot about 7 calls from this number in just 10 minutes, really annoying and aggressive about some car crash I know nothing about!!!10 yearsGot three calls in just five minutes to our work line. They said I was in a car crash. Definitely dont pick up!10 yearsIt appears to be fraudulent calls related to accident claims - the call quality is quite poor and the person speaking seems to be Indian and struggles with English proficiency.10 yearsPushy and way too personal. Mentioned a 'car crash.'10 yearsAnother scam call. Proper invasion of privacy and just not on.10 yearsSick of these calls! I just ended it as soon as I picked up.10 yearsGot a call around 7.30pm but they didn’t leave any voicemail. After checking other reviews, looks like a scam number.10 yearsI answered but nobody said anything and then the call just ended. Maybe I caught a faint weird noise for a moment? Strange.10 yearsIt's frustrating how privacy is constantly being violated. Having a landline seems pointless as all I receive are these annoying calls from idiots. Registering with the TPS and being ex-directory doesn't seem to make a difference. It's as if I might as well publish my phone number on Google and invite them to call me.TPSGoogle10 yearsThey’ve rung me two times in like 5 mins!!! But no one picks up!10 yearsI received a phone call on December 16th from this particular number. The person on the other end claimed that I had been involved in a recent car accident. Despite it being the season of goodwill, I politely told the woman to leave me alone without using any bad language.10 yearsI answered but there was nothing on the other end. Seems like one of those call centres with way too many calls to handle and not enough staff. Probably ignoring the TPS rules as well.Telephone Preference ServiceSubmit Your Own Report (01698 325487)
