01997617508 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01997617508 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number primarily targeting UK landlines with fake offers related to washing machine and home appliance warranties, boiler or heating services, and loft insulation. Callers often claim existing warranties that do not exist and pressure recipients to renew or purchase coverage. The calls commonly come from foreign-accented individuals or noisy call centre environments. Many recipients note no messages are left, calls are unsolicited despite Telephone Preference Service registration, and attempts to clarify caller identity result in hang-ups. Users strongly advise blocking the number and warn others to be vigilant against this frequent and deceptive nuisance. Authorities or service providers have limited apparent control or enforcement against these calls, leaving recipients frustrated and cautioning others to ignore or report the number.

They gave me incorrect info about the TPS rules and even fibbed to get around the security setup we have on our phone line. Proper dodgy behaviour from this lot.

Just got one of those dodgy calls about my 'warranty' needing urgent attention. Total scam. Wouldn't trust it for a second.

Got a random call about some insulation they claimed I’d just had put in, which I definitely hadn’t. They don’t seem to care that BT customers like me have signed up with the Telephone Preference Service. The government really needs to step in and fine these scammers properly.

I received a call from 01997617508 on the 24th of August, 2023. I couldn't quite make out the name of the company, even after requesting him to say it again. He did, however, clearly mention my name and claimed they were offering heating services and boiler repairs. When I expressed my disinterest, he suddenly mentioned I could get a 20% discount. It felt rather forceful, to be honest.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent about loft insulation, spray foam stuff I supposedly wanted (which I didn’t). Told her I wasn’t interested and suspect it’s some kind of scam. I just hung up. This wasn’t the first time she’d called me either.

Got a call from a woman speaking with a thick South Asian accent saying my fridge warranty expired and she could extend it for another couple of years. The moment I asked which company she represented, she cut me off straight away! Pretty obvious what that was about... A blatant scam try.

Got offered some washing machine insurance by a call. My missus picked up and let them know what she thought in no uncertain terms. I've gone ahead and blocked that number now.

Got a call from a woman with a strong accent trying to get me to renew insurance for my washing machine. I’ve never once had that sort of policy in all my 40+ years. Instantly blocked the number!

I've had loads of calls about loft insulation lately. Saying I don't want them to ring again doesn’t seem to stop them at all. They just keep on ringing, no matter what I say. Tried telling them I’d complain but who exactly do you report these to anyway? It’s really annoying!

This number, 01997 617508, keeps popping up loads - over a thousand checks so far. Seems like it's linked to some dodgy washing machine insurance scam. Nothing good comes up about it. I'd steer clear if I were you.

I gave the number a ring, but it was busy. Tried again and got told "Seems like you should double check that number," then it went busy once more. They didn't leave any voicemail either.

My freezer’s been going for 9 years and the washing machine for 4, both just out of warranty now! Had this bloke call me, he sounded really foreign, and kept going on repeating himself like 4 times. I told him I’m quite deaf and his accent was proper hard to get. Gave me a right laugh. Bet he’s racked up a big phone bill though! I’m on the no cold calls list, but it doesn’t seem to stop them one bit.

Always take a moment to scrutinise the number first-then hop on this site for a second opinion; it’s clearly just another bunch of numpties behind their phones attempting to pull a fast one on unsuspecting folks! 😒📞

It seems I've been informed that I qualify for an amazing health alert device. Honestly, the persistence of this dubious scheme is quite evident and utterly tiresome.

Totally a scam, I was a bit rude telling them off, couldn’t be bothered being polite. Seriously, how do these people even rest easy at night?

The moment I recognised the guy on the phone was Asian, I just ended the call straight away. I wasn’t gonna stick around to see what kind of trick he was trying to pull on me.

This guy called saying he was Thomas, chatting about some insurance for the central heating. I told him I’m not bothered and just ended the call.

Got a call from a number I didn’t know, no message left either. After seeing what others said about it, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it. I’m signed up with the TPS as well... What a pain! Told BT about it but that didn’t get me anywhere!

They didn’t leave a message but the call stayed on for ages with all sorts of background chatter, sounded like a noisy office full of people talking.

I picked up and heard a guy speaking with a foreign accent but he hung up right away. There was background noise like a call centre too. Felt a bit dodgy to me - best to just block or not bother with it.

Answered the phone but all I got was some noisy background from what sounded like a call centre. Left a message on my voicemail but I reckon it was probably a scam.

I got calls from the same number like 5 times in just a few mins. Picked up the first one but there was no one there, so I hung up. When I tried to block it, they rang again straight away. Had to dodge about 5 calls before I could actually block it and stop them ringing me again.

So my husband answered this call about some kind of insurance or warranty for our washing machine. He just said to call back later because I'm the one who usually sorts these things out. Thing is, our washing machine is more than 10 years old, and the warranty expired ages ago since the company that made it folded years back. I was pretty sure it was one of those dodgy scam calls.

This is pretty much a scam call, so watch out!

So I got a call about some spray foam insulation they claimed was put in years back. I was like, "Seriously?" and then they just ended the call.

Absolutely baffled by their call; didn’t leave a message at all. Quite odd, really.

Definitely an unsolicited call! It was a lady on the line, feigning to discuss my washing machine. She claimed that the warranty had run out and offered to extend it, but then she requested my bank information to proceed. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

Got a call on my home phone from a man speaking with an Asian accent. He said my washing machine warranty had expired. I told him I didn’t have any such warranty but he kept pushing anyway. In the end, I just hung up. Felt like a dodgy, maybe even risky, scam call. Proper annoying!

Got a call on my home phone from a bloke with a thick accent, maybe Asian, who somehow knew my name but kept messing it up when saying it. He tried to chat me up about renewing some insurance on our washing machine, which he said had just expired. I wasn’t having any of it and called him out straight away, then ended the call sharpish. Pretty sure it was a scam.

Got a call from a lady with an Asian accent, seemed like a loud call centre in the background. I just said hi and then stayed quiet, and she ended the call pretty quick. Definitely felt like a scam.
