Housing scam call – how to spot the ruse!
Summary — +441612496935
Expert Opinion
These calls from +44 161 249 6935 are almost certainly a scam. Callers use strong foreign accents and claim to be from a ‘UK housing’ or ‘disrepair’ team, but they rarely state a clear company name and hang up if you press for details. They often drop the line once you engage, a classic pressure‑tactic. If you receive such a call, let it go to voicemail, block the number and never share personal or financial information. Report the number to your phone provider or a consumer protection agency – it helps curb these nuisance calls for everyone.

I've blocked it
Used an outdated name for me. I requested the company name three times but his accent and rapid speech made it hard to catch—something like UK followed by another word. Asked him to repeat slowly, but he ended the call when pressed. Blocked now.
Persistent calls using different 0161 prefixes. Appears to be a scam of some sort.
Phone flagged it as potential fraud. Ignored the call and blocked the number
Caller with Asiatic accent mentioned UK housing, I cut off the chat by calling it 'unsolicited', and they ended the call
Heavy Indian accent made the majority of the pitch incomprehensible. Clearly a fraudulent operation!
Chap from abroad—he backed out of ordering and hung up, lol!!!
Team handling housing repairs!
