01766884993 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01766884993 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to driveway-related scams, frequently targeting elderly individuals with repeated calls offering driveway services under various names like "John" or "Tom" from supposed companies such as the "Driveway Centre." Despite callers often being polite, the calls are unwanted, intrusive, and sometimes recorded with automated or misleading messages, including bogus offers about home insurance. Many users note that blocking is ineffective due to the use of multiple spoofed or computer-generated numbers. Registration with the Telephone Preference Service does not prevent these calls. Victims are strongly advised not to return missed calls from this or similar numbers and to report all incidents to official fraud authorities to help curb this ongoing fraudulent activity.

01766884993 has been calling my elderly folks nearly every day, sometimes more than twice, trying to convince them to get a new driveway done. They obviously know my parents are quite old yet they keep bothering them nonstop. It’s upsetting because it’s really starting to stress my mum and dad out, even though they won’t fall for it.

Beware of those scammers calling about your driveway, it’s a total con!

Yesterday, I got three calls from this number, and today another call came through from a different UK number that's also linked to a driveway scam. I answered the second call but let the others ring out to voicemail, though no messages were left. I'm registered with the TPS and have now blocked both numbers.

I've been getting loads of calls these past few days from the same number, 01766884993. A bloke called John, says he's from Driveway Centre. Bit repetitive now.

Got a call from 01766884993 around 6.30pm - some bloke saying my boiler cover wasn’t right. Straight away, I guessed it was a scam and told them they had the wrong number. But they kept going on, so I said again, "Who do you think you’re ringing?" Still, they went on chatting about the boiler cover. The guy said his name was John at the start of the call.

Got a call from someone named John, said he was with driveway direct and wanted to check if I had a driveway at my place. Told him he’d dialled the wrong number, and he just said alright then and ended the call. I only answered because the same number had rung me before, so I thought it might be something useful lol.

Was waiting for a call so answered when the phone went. The bloke said his name was John and asked about the driveway? Told him he had the wrong number and shouldn’t be ringing me. He was quite polite and said thanks before hanging up. Bit annoying since I’m registered with TPS and these calls still bob through. Feels like just another telemarketer or some kind of scam.

Even though I've signed up with the TPS, this number, 01766884993, never stops ringing me up. Every call is from a different firm, with all sorts of reasons. They always use a name like John or Tom, so it feels like the same bloke each time. When I try calling back, the number just can’t be reached! It's really frustrating, and you’d think the authorities would step in to sort it, but nope, no action at all. Just typical modern day ignoring of the problem!

I picked up the call and all I got was this weird buzzing sound, reminded me of some old spy movie or something. Guess it was just a dodgy connection. Tried calling them back to play a funny duck noise I had ready, but no luck, no ring at all.

Picked up the phone and all I got was this weird buzzing sound, kind of like something out of a cheesy spy movie. Most likely just a dodgy connection though. When I tried calling back to annoy them with my silly duck quacking sound, there wasn’t even a ring. Bit strange!

The chap on the other end claimed to know that I had some sort of Driveway on my property. Honestly, I was utterly baffled by what he meant. He then proceeded to chat about Driveway, which apparently refers to synthetic stones crafted from resin, and he raved on about the various finishes available. I haven't bothered to look into whether such a product exists, but even if it does, there's certainly no justification for them having my contact details.

I received a call from a gentleman who claimed to be reaching out regarding my gas boiler insurance, which I pay through direct debit. He mentioned an offer of £1 a month since I hadn't availed myself of the service yet. He insisted that he needed to verify some information over the phone, including my banking details, which I outright refused to provide. His response was rather curt, as he implied, “we’ll just stick with what we have,” almost as if I had incurred a penalty for not complying. Curious about the number, I decided to look it up on one of those reverse phone sites, and it turns out it was associated with a company called UK Sealant Contractors!

My number's on the do-not-call list! They rang but didn’t leave a voicemail... I often get calls from 01766 that are nothing but rubbish, so I reckon this one’s just the same. Just a heads up - steer clear and don’t pick up!
