01772736666 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01772736666 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance primarily targeting businesses, often demanding to speak with the business owner. Callers, frequently using Asian or Indian accents, display inconsistent company names and dubious claims - ranging from energy providers to telecom services - suggesting potential spoofing and overseas call centres. Recipients note unprofessional behaviour, repeated calls despite requests to stop, and refusals to identify themselves properly. Many label the calls as scams or time-wasters. Efforts to block or trace the number prove largely ineffective. It is strongly advised to avoid engagement and report unwanted calls to the appropriate authorities, recognising these calls as likely fraudulent and intrusive telemarketing.

Lately this number keeps buzzing my phone nonstop. We were getting calls before from an 020 number, but the last few digits always switched up. It’s always some bloke with an Asian accent asking for the business owner. Thing is, we closed the business nearly three years back, and I’ve told them, over and over, pretty clearly that they should take us off their list. Yet, the calls just won’t quit and somehow, I can’t manage to block the number. It’s driving me mad!

Got a call on the office landline from this number, but they never said who they were or what company they were with. They just wanted to talk to the business owner, so I told them I’m not the owner and explained it’s a charity, so no single owner anyway. They just ended the call straight away.

Calling up non stop trying to sell stuff.

Someone called saying they were offering cheaper energy deals but it felt like a total scam. They wanted to talk to the business owner but I was a bit suspicious.

Got a call about the landline and they wanted to chat with the business owner. I told them we're on the TPS list, so they shouldn't be ringing us up.

Seriously, how come BT just doesn’t put an end to these annoyin’ calls? It’s like they couldn’t care less about all these idiots ringing up all the time!

Got a call from an Asian woman selling a landline phone deal. She didn’t seem to know my current provider or even what my bills look like. I gave her a polite but firm telling off, asked her not to ring me again. Despite that, she kept pushing so I ended up just hanging up.

Not a word from them. Just another dimwit, I guess, trying some scam. Couldn’t they find a real job instead of getting eaten alive by those sneaky sharks?

Totally useless people. They ought to be banned from making calls altogether, really. These calls should just be stopped. I've already told the police about it.

Picked up and heard some kind of music playing in the background, so I just ended the call and looked them up. Pretty sure this number has rung me a few times before.

Got a call from a woman with a strong Indian/Asian accent claiming she was from XLM Telecom. I told her I’d never come across the company before and just hung up straight away. She was really pushy though.

Got a call from 01772736666 claiming to be a dating site for people over 21, but turns out it was a total scam. They said it was for transgender singles, but seemed like a dodgy fake company to me.

Had a call from a guy with an Indian accent saying he was ringing from XLN and offering to lower my line rental. Before I could say much, he just cut me off. If anyone manages to track down where he’s based, especially if it’s in Preston or somewhere in the UK, let me know. I’m thinking of bringing my entire rugby crew to drop by and sort this out properly.

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent, sounded Asian. They asked how I was doing and then started asking for a Stacey. Total waste of time, so I just ended the call.

Got a call from an Asian guy asking if I owned a business, then he started going on about cheaper phone line rentals. Told him I’m actually shutting down my business and putting my house up for sale, so no thanks.

They keep ringing me up asking if I own the business and get really grumpy when I tell them I’m not.

I picked up but ended the call straight away, then checked the caller ID using 1471. I attempted ringing back but the number doesn't seem to be real, how does that even happen?!

This number keeps ringing me up all the time, usually it's some bloke from Asia or India. I've stopped picking up my landline 'cause of them. Today, I looked up 1471 first to find out who it was before I thought about returning the call. I've had to tell them to shove off a few times since they just won't take no for an answer!

this happened to me too, someone saying they were calling from xin. i told them i'd look up their number and call back later. when i did, the number just didn’t exist at all, so i reckon it was made up by a computer or something. seems like a total scam and definitely not honest at all. really dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from an Asian lady who was quite rude. She asked if I was the owner of the business, and when I said no, she just ended the call straight away!

They rang up asking to speak with the manager. Honestly, I just told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call.

got a call from some asian guy claiming he was with xin, offering deals on adding another phone line or upgrading mine. but i'm actually with xin and this number he called from isn’t theirs at all. felt a bit fishy to me.

Was trying to get hold of the business owner regarding phone lines, and I'm pretty certain it was the same woman twice, claiming to call from BT. Both times, the caller ID showed an international number. I ended up being quite blunt with her, and after telling her to bugger off a couple of times, she finally gave up and ended the call. These types are such a nuisance.

Got a call today from someone with a strong Indian accent - this was their second time ringing. They wanted to speak to the business owner about “lots of cheap rates and IOTs” or something like that for the phone line. I explained there was no need, as we already have good prices and the lines are busy. They kept pushing, but I told them no one here really speaks English well, so maybe try calling outside of business hours. He kept trying to convince me, just an employee, to make a deal but I said nah, don’t bother. Then he just hung up.
