AI Analysis

Limited information: The number is associated with repeated automated calls and messages claiming to be from a debt collection agency (often referencing 'Oriel' or similar names), requesting callbacks about alleged outstanding debts. Users report no prior contact or known debt, and many describe the calls as persistent, unsolicited, and potentially fraudulent. Some mention being asked for personal or security details without providing verifiable information in return. The pattern suggests possible debt collection scam or harassment.

Likely purpose: The number is likely used for debt collection scam or harassment, involving automated calls and messages falsely claiming outstanding debts to trick recipients into calling back and providing personal or financial information under pretenses of resolving an urgent matter.

I work for lawyers and they call our number regularly. It's the same as everyone here has described. I never return the call, if it was genuine it would be an actual person with a lot more information. Must be very dodgy.

Called leaving a reference to call back with. Looking at the responses on here I won't be calling back. As far as I am aware we have no debt.

Called and left messages about an unresolved matter, even though I answered the phone the voice told me to call them back. Have no debts so haven't called. Believe its a scam. Similar no to Oriel s website but not same.

Miss called me twice, left a voicemail each time requesting that I return the phone call quoting a reference number. I did this, quoted the reference number. They then asked for my details, I said I would not give them these but they can give me my details if they have them…. They refused… I requested they tell me the first letter of the name they have on file…. They refused… I ended the phone call at this point

Called regarding outstanding debt. Unsolicited, due to not having any communications regarding outstanding debts or default notices

Called my 80 year old mother who was confused about who was calling and the message received as it wasn't clear. Thankfully I have already advised her a number of times to not return any calls from them. Still amazed these vultures can use a UK based number.

Automated call asking for a callback. Googled the company, they are a debt collection agency. I however have no post or email relating to this company or outstanding debt. Likely to be a scam.
