Disturbing Calls Claiming Crime Reports?
Summary — +441616762491
Expert Opinion
Under the dimming Manchester skies this autumn evening, reports of calls from this number reveal a pattern of impersonation and data misuse that's deeply concerning. Callers often pose as surveyors for bodies like the Greater Manchester Police or Environment Agency, dropping personal details to build false trust, but the inconsistencies—such as fabricated crime reports or robotic tones—scream scam. Many recipients felt unnerved, especially those with sensitive histories. Block the number immediately and never share info; report to Action Fraud if you've engaged. Register with TPS if not already, and consider a call-blocking app for peace of mind. While one account mentioned DJS Research seeming legitimate, the overwhelming evidence points to phishing risks—stay vigilant to protect your data.

Scam
No answer was given; when I tried calling back the number was suddenly unrecognised, clearly dubious behaviour!
A lady who says she's conducting a waterways survey for the Environment Agency has called me twice. I've told her I'm registered with TPS and don't accept unsolicited calls. Although she seemed quite genuine, reading these comments makes me relieved I didn't share any details. I won't be answering again, as it's probably not legitimate.
