Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this number masquerades as a local Manchester line to lure you in, but it's often tied to dodgy foreign operations. Reports paint a picture of persistent callers using automated voices, foreign accents, and false pretences like social housing repairs or boiler replacements to hook the unwary. Silent calls and background chatter scream scam tactics, with no legitimate intent in sight. Best bet: never answer unknown numbers; let them ring out or use call screening. Block immediately if they persist, and report to your provider or Action Fraud to keep the pests at bay. Stay vigilant—hanging up swiftly thwarts their game.
The phone buzzed once and ceased. My device flagged it as spam. Voicemail captured what seemed an automated US female voice, though I couldn't make out the words.
Hung up before the full message played. Sounded foreign, using a British alias amid noisy background talk. I called him a fraud and ended the call
Ignored it since the number was unfamiliar, but after checking this site, I reported it.
Got a phone call. When I picked up, an automated voice said, "Thank you for calling," three times before the line cut off automatically.
scam alert – keep yourselves protected, folks
They rang but no one picked up, so they dialled again using 0161 5317091. I've blocked the pair of them now, bloody nuisance.
I didn't pick up; better to steer clear
No chat from the caller, dead air
An Indian boiler scam operation spoofing the Manchester line 01615315340. Pure spam – blocked it pronto.
A man with an Indian accent purported to be part of the social housing maintenance crew. Since I reside in private accommodation, I figured it was a fraud and disconnected.
Fraudulent call - Acting like social housing reps about a supposed repair report. I haven't reported any fixes and don't rent from them - just hang up, block, and move on.
Unfamiliar number, so I ignored it. It diverted to voicemail, yet nothing was recorded. After looking it up here, I've now blocked it.
This number rang me, yet when I picked up, it was dead silent on the other end!
Likely spam call
