AI Summary
Based on 2 community reports
This Manchester number appears to be targeting people with life insurance scams, using personal information that may have been obtained illegally. Reports describe callers claiming to be from a company called 'Review' and contacting people about deceased relatives' life insurance policies, even when there's no legitimate connection. The caller mentioned getting details from an "uphill database" and became rude and aggressive when questioned about their legitimacy.
The fact they're calling about recently deceased individuals suggests they may be exploiting bereavement records or other sensitive data sources. Legitimate insurance companies don't typically cold-call about deceased persons' policies to unrelated phone numbers, and genuine firms would have proper documentation and be more professional when questioned. If you receive similar calls, don't provide any personal information and consider reporting it to Action Fraud, as one caller has already done.

I told fraud services about them. They should be reported so a case can be made against them and to see how they got people's details.
