I received numerous calls from this number, and when I eventually picked up, they requested my email and National Insurance number to process a refund for my work-from-home tax. They even sent a dodgy email to my work account, which I have no intention of completing. I’m almost convinced this is a scam.

Annoying telemarketer - they just won't take a hint!

Got a call from someone wanting to know about making a claim for working from home. Seemed a bit off to me, like they weren’t from any official place. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else gets something similar. Stay cautious!

I received a call from someone touting their services for tax rebates linked to remote work during the lockdown. They mentioned a sum exceeding £600, which piqued my interest at first. However, when I inquired about how they obtained my number, they insisted I had completed some form-strangely, I can't recall doing any such thing. They then proceeded to ask for various sensitive details, which raised my suspicions. I politely expressed my reluctance to share any information and hung up.

A little while ago, my other half submitted a tax credits application via the HMRC's official channels. Today, I answered a call from this number, claiming that he hadn't finalised the submission and that there was a refund of over £600 awaiting him. It’s rather puzzling because he had indeed completed the form on the legitimate .gov website - definitely not a scam. What’s concerning is how this caller seems to be privy to that information. To top it off, my partner was sent an email requesting his details via a dodgy website, which he has no intention of engaging with.

I’m absolutely chuffed I stumbled upon this site while looking up that number. The person on the other end was incredibly persuasive, rattling off a lot of my basic details-likely plucked from forms I've filled out over time. Then they had the audacity to claim they just needed my National Insurance number and bank details to process a supposedly £635 refund. It was crystal clear to me that this was a scam. When I confronted the woman, expressing my doubts about her honesty, her tone shifted dramatically. She became quite hostile and impolite. I managed to remain calm and reminded her that what she was doing wasn’t right and could harm her conscience. She promptly ended the call! I urge everyone to share this cautionary tale with others who might be more susceptible. I’d hate to see anyone get caught up in such a dreadful scam. Let's keep each other safe from these malicious schemes!

ABSOLUTE SCAM ALERT!!!!! I received a phone call from a chap with a distinctly South African accent who was inquiring about my wife, mentioning her full name. When I informed him she was unavailable, he asked if I was Mr. Xxxxx, to which I, rather unwisely, replied in the affirmative. He then claimed that my wife had submitted a tax claim form for working from home but had apparently neglected to provide some personal particulars. I played along for a moment, saying I’d check with her about this mysterious form, which she had no knowledge of whatsoever. Naturally, I then ended the call. Reflecting on it now, the ruse becomes clear: they were fully aware that my wife wouldn’t pick up since they dialled my number. They clearly didn’t possess her contact details, otherwise, they’d have reached out to her directly. By using her name, they aimed to convince me that she had indeed lodged some tax-related paperwork that was incomplete, effectively trying to coax me into providing sensitive information. They did put on a convincing act, I must admit... So, I implore you, don’t be taken in by this nonsense! If you’ve found your way here, it’s likely because you’ve exercised caution and looked up the number first before disclosing anything. I trust this information proves useful.

I received a call from them, where they requested me to verify some personal information. Naturally, I complied, but then I probed as to what it was regarding. The representative mentioned something about a tax return linked to working from home due to the pandemic. Curious, I inquired about how the process works, the company's name, and any fees involved, at which point they abruptly ended the conversation. It was peculiar that they already had my personal information prior to reaching out, which made it feel legitimate at first, but I suspect they may have obtained it from some dodgy online form. Please exercise extreme caution when disclosing information online. This appears to be a scam, and I urge everyone to report the phone number to Action Fraud.

They requested that I verify my personal information and put my signature on a document. I reckon it's a dodgy scheme!

I reckon I've stumbled upon a potential scam. They claimed I had submitted a form for a £625 work-from-home tax rebate. All they wanted was for me to verify my personal details. I let them have a bit of a chat, but after a while, I decided enough was enough and hung up before blocking the number.

I received a call purportedly regarding a tax rebate form for remote work that I supposedly completed. When I informed the caller that I wasn't interested, she had the audacity to respond with, "ohhh kaaay, just watch what you sign up for," before abruptly terminating the call. The truth is, I didn't fill in any forms at all! I'm baffled as to how they managed to get hold of my number and absolutely livid at her unprofessionalism!
