The number appears to be a UK (country code +44) landline or mobile number with mixed online reports; several UK reverse lookup and spam report services reference similar numbers and caution about potential scam activity. However, no single source provides definitive ownership confirmation for this exact string, so conclusions are limited. 1. The number is presented in UK number lookup contexts as a traceable UK line whose operator/range holder can be identified via official data, but exact ownership is not confirmed across sources. 2. Online comments and reports on similar UK numbers are common on spam report sites and forums, with warnings about potential scam or telemarketing use; exact matches for this precise number vary in reliability. 3. Associations with spam, scams, or telemarketing are mentioned in general for UK numbers in these sources, but there is no definitive proven link to this exact +441614649290 entry. 4. Public exposure appears likely across public lookup and scam report databases, but whether this exact number is leaked or cataloged in breaches is not clearly established in the provided results. 5. Given mixed signals and lack of a definitive, reliable attribution, answering or returning calls to this exact number is not clearly advisable; treat as potentially risky and consider screening or using a call back caution.

I got a missed call on my phone earlier today from this number 01618149622. i called back and they mentioned to be calling from ILC Loans in Manchester that I had applied to them and that they have accepted my application. In my little desperation for funds I was going to use the affordability checker Finwell but for some reason it wouldn't verify my details. They kept calling repeatedly asking me to use other email address. I had this strong unrest in my Spirit something was fishy about them. I went on google and find this rating and I just knew my intuitions were right. I think they have changed their contact to this one mentioned above.

0161 814 8660 Called me. His name was Noah after I had applied for multiple loans online. He started called with congratulations you have been accepted. Unfortunately for me I was so eager and didn’t think. I have my bank details then phone cut out when I went to call back the telephone number was not going through. Email he sent was very suspicious. He kept calling me love. I am so annoyed with myself for giving my bank details. The call was made from Manchester when I searched online for the company I found this site saying they are a scam

I applied for a loan yesterday from another company online, so when they rang me today, I genuinely thought it was the real loan company. They started with ''Congratulations, your loan has been approved yaaaayyy'' and he kept calling me ''love'', that's when I got suspicious. I asked him, what is the interest rate, he couldn't answer me. I also kept asking for them to send an email confirming everything we spoke about, but he kept insisting that he will send that once I filled everything in rpqtracker.com then I saw that I had to fill in my card details and that's when I told him no, I don't want to do this. He was very pushy and persistent trying to convince me to ''just fill that in'' ''it will only take a minute'', that's when my alarm bells went off. They are VERY eager for you to fill in your person details with them. I have recorded the whole phone conversation, just incase they do something with my information which they already had.

Same story. Sounded polite and sweet, had an asian accent. Asked for my bank details and hung up on me when I started questioning them. Under no circumstances should you give out your bank details to anyone! Avoid this number +44 161 532 4753

Had a call from a number after applying for some online loans. The caller named “Duane” Told me they had approved my loan and that I needed to register with scoresmatter.co.uk to do an affordability check, then claimed I would be receiving an email within 24 hours. Within 24 hours their customer service number is no longer in service and they answer and immediately hang up from the number they contacted me from. I have since received an email from consents.online informing me that I have allowed the sharing of information to a company called IMT Sandbox. I have now raised issues with consents.online and scoresmatter.co.uk about both ILC Loans and IMT Sandbox being scam companies that are using their services. Please do likewise and inform these credit check companies aware that we are in to them. Also please bombard [email protected] with as much spam as you can. I am sending horrible material to this inbox. If you message bomb their email account then hopefully they will shut it down

They try to get you to yes to charge your card that you previously gave to a loan application. They speak very fast so you don’t hear them asking for £69.99 to approve your loan. When I said if I’ve been accepted then please send me more information. I DONT GIVE AUTHORISATION FOR ANY PAYMENTS TO BE TAKEN they hang up

Called me on 01473358188 - They told me I do not need to pay anything and after “approving” my loan I had to pay for a subscription for a credit check company. Got someone with me who asked more questions and they found it difficult to respond. Don’t trust them!!!

I just been called by these on 5/6 different numbers 01432803177, 01924979444, 01603514965, 01432803177, 01215999588, 01392343230. I was applying for loan so when this number rang me I thought it was legit, she said I passed for the loan and sent me link via text message, she didn't ask for bank detail only my address and what network I was on. this where I messed up, I followed the link to a credit score company who then diverted me to a company called consents.online who I proceeded to give them full access to my bank account, (All my transactions where there to see). That's when I realised s#@t I've made a mistake so I quickly called to cancel my subscription with credit score company, called my bank to inform them of what I did, (card cancelled and no access from any company can now see). The same woman I spoke to then called me again to see if I followed her instructions I told her that her link was rubbish to a company I didn't need and I'd cancelled, her response was, why did you cancel, you only had to log in, congratulations you will have your loan within 24/48 hours,you will receive a email from ilc abc with your agreement. I'm normally more careful then this but I was in process of actually looking into a loan. Do not give these ppl any info, I'll wait 24/48 hours for this loan, highly doubt it tho

SCAM CALL- Had this number call me I don’t know how many times. I answered the call once to a man with a Pakistan or Indian accent saying he was calling from ILC loans. He demanded for me to tell him who my phone provider was and my bank. When I questioned him as to why they weren’t advertised on google ect to which he told me they are a small company and aren’t advised online. I said to him that “I can’t remember making an application to this so called company and that I didn’t trust them”. Hung up on me as they don’t like YOU asking the questions.

This company rings selling loans and promises all applicants some form of lending and at the end they say watch your emails for the credit agreements but they never materialise. They also send out phones wich I rejected and they also retain your card details and you end up being subscribed to credit rating agencies who take money without consent. Absolute scammers. I told them his directly and I have several calls asking me to explain my reasons which was politely answered with .. Just look at our number on Google..

They phoned me and told me they take no upfront costs for a handset. At the end of the call he said they need £49 to send the phone out. I then had an email to say they have arranged to take payment on a specific date. Luckily they don't have my bank details. I know my credit isn't good so when I asked how they can give anyone a contract without a credit check, he told me it's because it's a 12 month contract and not a 24 month contract. Surely this isn't right?
