Said it was for insurance, demanded ID via NI number or driving licence. Fed 'em a fake one to test the waters, then they wanted my full name and address. Shrug.

Expert Opinion
Calls from this number often ring repeatedly without leaving messages, stirring suspicion right from the off. Recipients report chaotic call centre vibes with heavy accents and background racket, making it tough to grasp what's being said. Scammers frequently pose as reps for insurance or car finance, pushing for sensitive details like national insurance numbers, driving licences, full names, and addresses—red flags for identity theft. Some even claim to be from Google, but it's all a ploy. Block the number immediately and never share personal info. Report to authorities if pressured; these nuisances thrive on confusion, so staying vigilant keeps them at bay.

Indeed fraudsters after images of my driver's licence and passport
Rang twice from here. Skipped the initial one; on the next, a woman claimed it was about vehicle financing with her firm. Seems like spam or scam.

Posing as Google
Display showed 0161 565 0157 as potential spam. Background chatter like a busy office. Resembles the earlier 0159 report.
It's a call centre where you can barely make out what they're saying, mate.

Harassment Call
In recent days, multiple rings from variations of 0161 565 like 01-44, 45, 59. Device auto-blocked as junk, so they're obviously dodgy.
Realised from the name used that my details came via email, since it wasn't correct. Stay alert for queries about how you're feeling today. That's a spam indicator.
On 21.02.25, this number rang me, but Google flagged it as spam and blocked it.

This seems like a spam call. There was a lot of background noise and a person with a strong accent who was hard to understand.
