Reports on phone number 01916740279
6 yearsBest to ignore it, definitely a scam trying to get through.6 yearsLately ive been getting loads of spam calls, here’s my usual routine - I pick up, put the phone on speaker and get on with stuff. Let them go on with their sales spiel, then when they ask if im interested i just say no. They usually snap back with "Thanks for wasting our time" and hang up. They never call again. Bet those calls aint cheap for them 😂🤣6 yearsJust got a missed call from this number.6 yearsThis number keeps ringing my phone loads of times a day, both my mobile and landline. Tried to block it but it somehow still gets through. Really annoying!6 yearsWhen I picked up, they just ended the call right away.6 yearsThey keep ringing me about 4 times every day but I never pick up.6 yearsThey’ve been ringing me every day for the past four days. I just don’t pick up, always just ignore it.6 yearsThis number keeps ringing me nonstop, like every single day and at the most random times. It’s driving me up the wall! The more tech advances, the more these scammers find sneaky ways to trick folks. Honestly, sometimes I think it'd be kinda wild if a few people just triggered a massive crash, so we could reset everything tech-wise and figure out a safer way for all of us to use it without constantly stressing about getting scammed.6 yearsNot sure who these people are, but they keep calling non stop. Think I’ll just block their number now.6 yearsWasn't sure, figured it might be a scam, so I just ended the call and looked it up on this site. Definitely blocking the number now.6 yearsThese scammers are so irritating, honestly, they should find something better to do with their time.6 yearsThis number keeps bothering me nonstop.6 yearsThis number just popped up on my phone, but honestly, I haven't got the faintest idea who it could be or where it's from.6 yearsI just wanted to check on the energy plan for my place.6 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from an energy saving firm. They asked about my gas and electric usage. After I gave them the info, the person just said "Okay, I'll note that down, goodbye," and then hung up abruptly. It felt pretty odd to me.6 yearsGot two missed calls from this number and they just won’t quit! I’m expecting and really don’t need the hassle of dodgy calls right now 🙄6 yearsI picked up one time and they claimed to be from my gas provider, but I wasn’t convinced at all.6 yearsIs it alright to trust this number?6 yearsAnother load of scam calls, seriously why arent the proper authorities doing anything? Theyre blatantly breaking the law with these cold calls.6 yearsNo idea who this is, I’m not picking up. Tried ringing back but it just says wrong choice. Didn’t get any voicemail so I guess it's just junk calls.6 yearsThis number just keeps calling me, but I’m not picking up - probably another scam call 019167402796 yearsI didnt pick up to see who it was.6 yearsThis company has been ringing me loads every week for ages, always from new numbers I have to keep blocking! Just ignore them.Energy Providers6 yearsGot a call from an energy firm claiming I qualify for a cheaper tariff under some government low-energy scheme. They said they'd post a new prepayment key to update my meter once it arrived. My partner reckons it's a scam, and when I tried calling them back the number was invalid. I’ll contact my actual supplier tomorrow just to be safe.6 yearsMight be God as some kind of creator ain’t real, but the whole idea behind how things function makes sense. And it’s like it’s takin’ our loved ones all the time, every minute, every day, every year since forever. The police should really keep an eye on this and do something about it!6 yearsWorking on a vaccine could’ve stopped this country from ending up in such a mess health-wise, and with our population dropping fast as we lose so many dear ones. This phone number is just a tiny piece of a much bigger issue that’s cutting life spans and leaving those left behind to grieve far too early. It’s really hurting our ability to come together and fix the harm the virus has caused to the economy, too.6 yearsThe folks running the government and dealing with criminal law really need to stop and rethink how things are done to cut down on this kinda unintended harm. Everyone’s always saying guns are the leading cause of death, but honestly, that’s not totally true. The real danger often comes from things you can’t actually see - stuff happening over phone calls that end up taking way more lives. Problem is, people just don’t believe it’s a serious threat if it’s not something physical like a gun they can actually feel or point at.6 yearsThese people are way too keen on getting my credit card and direct debit info, supposedly to sort out a refund for my smart meter - feels totally like a scam. What they’re saying sounds way off and just like some kind of phishing attempt. They claimed they had my smart meter account details but then couldn’t find my account number when I told them I didn’t know it and answered the usual security questions my energy provider asks. Definitely dodgy behaviour.TPE6 yearsHonestly, I reckon the main fault lies with those internet trunking firms for not closing up the legal gaps that let this sort of thing happen. There needs to be way tougher rules for international web-phone systems. The issue comes from letting calls cross borders so freely, instead of keeping them within their own country’s limits. That way, calls could be traced much easier. As I see it, we’ve got enough telecom services right here in the UK, so there’s hardly any reason for England to deal with or even permit access to these kinds of services from abroad.UKEngland6 yearsHonestly, these folks arent just takin money from people but are also messin with our whole government budget and economy. Stuff like fundin the covid vaccine gets way harder cuz of that. The governments money kinda equals the time we got, so if these probs didnt happen, maybe the government couldve extended lockdowns and maybe saved more lives, givin us all more time.6 yearsNope, didn’t pick up!!6 yearsI didnt pick up and checked this site, looks like they were being a pest so I’m just gonna block the number.6 yearsWasn't able to pick up.6 yearsThey just dialled and hung up straight away, so annoying!6 yearsWhen they asked if it was me, I stupidly said yes, then they just ended the call immediately! I’ll be more careful next time and won’t give any info without knowing who’s on the other end. Like others mentioned, someone must have sold my info. No idea how or why though. Really frustrating!6 yearsThey keep ringing me nonstop all day, the number's hidden, but ive got 8 missed calls from them already today. Wish they would just stop.6 yearsKeep getting calls saying my energy supplier will cut me off for unpaid bills, but I pay them through direct debit and everything’s up to date.6 yearsSpoke with someone with a NE accent claiming to be from 'Peoples Power' then they just ended the call. I don't normally pick up on numbers I don’t know. Pretty sure they'll ring back from a diff 0191 number so I’m gonna start blocking all 0191 numbers automatically from now on.People ' s Power6 yearsThey dont show up on caller ID but they keep ringing twice back to back, sometimes they do it 3 times a day. Really annoying.6 yearssome bloke called kevin, said my name then just dropped the call. number was 01916740279.Kevin6 yearsJust ignore it. It’s a dodgy caller looking to scam you out of your cash.6 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy claiming he was trying to send me money from my life insurance. He only knew my name, nothing more. I kept him chatting for a while but ended the call when he said he needed to speak to his manager to approve the payment.6 yearsGot a call from someone who asked if I was (my name) and then mentioned my address in Lisburn all by himself. He said I was on the wrong list because of where I lived and that he’d sort it out and remove me. Said his name was Dave and it was about energy stuff.LisburnDave6 yearsThis number has been ringing me non stop for the past couple of days, like from early morning till late evening! After seeing what others said here, I’ve just gone ahead and blocked it now.6 yearsHey, quick question, how do u figure out the 4 digit code? Cheers!6 yearsI got three calls today from the same number, and every time I picked up, they just ended the call straight away. On the last try, no one even picked up. Feels a bit dodgy, probably one of those scam calls.6 yearsIt’s odd, I’ve been getting calls from this number and I also order from Uber Eats quite often...Uber Eats6 yearsGot a call and just listened without saying anything. They asked for my full name which I gave. When I stayed quiet again, they just ended the call.6 yearsGot a call from an energy firm who somehow had my full name and address, felt sketchy so I blocked the number straight away.6 yearsNo idea, couldn’t care less, just blocked it.6 yearsThey rang me but didn’t leave any message on the answerphone.6 yearsgot a call from this number today but no one was there when i picked up. ive blocked the number now.6 yearsThey had my address but wouldn’t say which company they were with, then just ended the call.6 yearsGot another call today, second one actually - this time they weren’t quiet, said they were with some call blocking company and were gonna block annoying telemarketers and update my call blocking settings or something.6 yearsdidnt pick up but probably a good thing after reading others reviews, ive never come across this number before either6 yearsgot loads of spam calls non stop all day long6 yearsjust ignore it, dont pick upBest6 yearsThe phone won’t stop buzzing!6 yearsThe call lasted 24 seconds but they didn’t leave any voicemail.6 yearsIm so tired of getting calls from random people who have no real reason to be phoning me.6 yearsGot a call about pre-paid gas and electric meters, but we dont even have those. What really freaked me out was how they already had my phone number, last name and my address.6 yearsChances are, someone’s already passed your info around.6 yearsNot sure who this could be. They ring me up all the time but never bother to say anything.6 yearsMy son, who’s 8, just got a missed call from this number. When I tried to ring it back, the only option was to put in his phone number to get rid of it. But instead of that, I put in some random 4 digit code and it actually went through. Feels like some sort of scam to me.6 yearsCan someone tell me who this is?6 yearsThis number has called me non stop - like 18 times within just a few hours. I’m guessing its either some sort of sales call or they’re trying to collect info. Clearly, my number’s been passed on by some other company without my say. It’s proper annoying. Make sure you’re careful when putting your number online and always check who you’re giving it to!6 yearsGot a call out of the blue from a local number with someone claiming to be from an energy provider. They said they could get me cheaper gas and electric rates but I’m pretty sure it was a total con. Watch out lads, looks like a scam!6 yearsHas anyone else given Uber Eats a go? We signed up with a brand new phone number and a fake name, but now we’re getting annoyed with loads of spam calls from that number and some other ones using the same fake name. It makes me think either the drivers have been passed on our details - like name, address, and phone - or maybe Uber Eats are the ones sharing the info behind the scenes. It’s pretty dodgy if you ask me.Uber Eats6 yearsGot a voicemail from this number saying it was HMRC, warning about a warrant being issued on my account. Sounds like a total scam to me.HMRC6 yearsWho keeps calling me?6 yearsGot a spam call from some gas and electric salesman from Asia. I only buy new SIMs for stuff like UBER EATS and helping out the cat protection league, so it was pretty annoying.Uber EatsCat Protection League6 yearsThey've rung me three times within a few hours and every single time they mess up my address. Each time they say sorry but still call again afterwards. So annoying!Submit Your Own Report (0191 674 0279)
