Reports on phone number 01142317440
5 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC, said I owed £100 for stamp duty. They said they were with Bluestone but the Irish accent seemed off. Definitely a scam.HMRCBluestone9 monthsGot a call from a woman who sounded really sure of herself, saying she was getting back to us on behalf of our Director. Knowing how he is, i was pretty sure that wasnt right, so i pushed back a bit. After a long bit of grilling, she admitted the Director hadn’t actually rung them, but they claimed it was regarding some sort of "HMRC issue" and couldn’t say much else. It’s honestly disappointing that folks think it’s ok to try selling stuff by fibbing through these annoying cold calls.HMRC1 yearI got a call from a bloke asking about one of my businesses. He claimed HMRC had passed on my details to him. The line was pretty rough, so I asked him to ring me again some other time. Guess we’ll find out if he actually follows up.HMRC1 yearAs soon as I picked up, they just cut the call.2 yearsGot a call earlier and no voicemail was dropped, which felt a bit dodgy. When I asked them about my tax code, they couldn’t answer. Very strange situation.2 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming to be with HMRC through some company called Bluestone. She wouldn’t tell me the reason for the call unless I gave her personal info first. When I finally shared my address, she said it didn’t match theirs, which seemed off. It felt really dodgy, so I just ended the call. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.BluestoneHMRC2 yearsBluestone Credit Management got in touch for some tax I apparently owe to HMRC, and they seem like a proper company. Definitely not a scam or anything like that.Bluestone Credit ManagementHMRC2 yearsYeah it’s real, they’re Bluestone and they’re after unpaid PAYE taxes with HMRC. Odd thing is they call and message first before posting anything, bit unusual but it’s definitely genuine.BluestoneHMRC PAYE2 yearsTotal scam, don’t fall for it!2 yearsGot a call from Bluestone debt collectors, apparently they're ringing for HMRC.BluestoneHMRC2 yearsThe guy said he was from HMRC but wouldnt say what for. He just wanted my personal info to “check” if I was who I said I was. Got nasty real fast when I asked him questions. Total phishing scam, and a proper #### aswell (if you see this).HMRC2 yearsTotally a scam, be careful!2 yearsTotal scam, don’t fall for it!2 yearsCalled claiming to be from Bluestone, mentioning she had to talk to a Director about something really important for her client. When I asked for more info before passing it on, she said she couldn’t share any details. Pretty clear it was just a cold call.Bluestone2 yearsGot loads of calls over the past couple months from someone claiming to be Bluestone, saying they’re ringing on behalf of HMRC. They asked for personal info for some security check. I told them if there’s a problem just send it by post, then the bloke just hung up on me.BluestoneHMRC3 yearsWhen I picked up the phone, I was met with utter silence on the other end-no response at all.3 yearsI was requested to converse solely with the owner and no one else, rather insistent to say the least.3 yearsFraud alert!3 yearsThis person keeps ringing and says she’ll call back no matter what… and she really does! Claims she has to verify our info cause the call is “sensitive”. Feels a bit dodgy. She sounds really friendly and polite tho, which just makes me more suspicious. I just hang up straight away now.4 yearsGot a call from Bluestone Sheffield. They kept asking me to verify my business info for some kind of security, but I wouldn’t share anything. It just went nowhere after that. They only said they’d send letters, but I never got a single one. Ended up hanging up on them.Bluestone Sheffield4 yearsThey claimed to be from Bluestone and wanted to know if a particular firm was one of our clients. When I didn’t want to confirm or leave a message, he sounded really irritated. Ending the call with a sharp "Have a nice day" doesn't make you sound professional or trustworthy at all!Bluestone4 yearsGot a call from this number and they left a voicemail but it was just heavy breathing, no words or anything, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.4 yearsThey wouldn't say who they were representing or what the call was regarding. Claimed they’d sent letters, but I never got anything. Honestly, I think these lot just want to get personal details from whoever answers the phone, and I reckon less cautious folks might get tricked. I told the person calling me that they were just a spam outfit, and when I mentioned that their number is flagged on Google, they sounded pretty offended.Google4 yearsThey say it's HMRC calling through Bluestone - seems pretty genuine to me. Those folks getting annoyed? Probably just dodging their tax payments!BluestoneHMRC4 yearsGot a call from a woman wanting me to verify some security info. She claimed they'd sent me letters but that I hadn't got any. When I wouldn't share anything and asked her which company she was with, she got all twitchy and said she couldn't say 'cause they were working for a client. She kept pushing for my details, but I told her flat out I wasn’t falling for it and hung up. Real obvious scam to me.5 yearsA representative from the Bluestone Group has been attempting to reach out to our director for a chat.Bluestone Group5 yearsI received a dodgy call from this number, where they tried to put me through a security check, seemingly fishing for my personal information. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!5 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone calling himself David from the Bluestone Group. He said he needed to speak with a director about some “financial issue” and mentioned he’d sent emails before, but apparently, the client told him not to email anymore. It didn’t really sit right with me, so I just ended the call.DavidBluestone Group5 yearsGot a call from Bluestone, they wanted to speak to our director and already had my company's info from Companies House. They claimed there was some outstanding corporation tax but refused to send anything by email. I double-checked with my accountant and it wasn’t true. Came here to see if anyone else had similar stories and found out it’s a scam.BluestoneCompanies House5 yearsThis number has rung me loads of times on my home phone and a couple on my mobile too. I've also got a text from them that just had some reference code and their company initials, no actual message. They never bother to leave a voicemail, and from what I can tell they haven’t sent me any letters or emails. I haven’t had anything from HMRC either, though apparently, this firm claims on their website they're debt collectors working for HMRC. Judging by what others have said, it definitely seems dodgy, maybe even a scam or at best a scam-like tactic trying to take advantage.HMRC5 yearsI got a call from 01142317440 asking for the director and some info, but I wasn’t having any of it. Still, if you want to be sure, just have a quick look yourself. Seems like HMRC sometimes uses a company called Bluestone Group. Like I said, it’s best to give them a google before you decide what to do.Bluestone GroupHMRCGoogle5 yearsGot a call from Bluestone asking for the company director. Then they started asking me to answer security questions, even wanted personal info. I said no and the woman got really annoyed, telling me to watch out for mail. Such clowns!Bluestone6 yearsGot a few calls from this number but no voicemail left. After reading the reviews here, I think I’ll just let it go to voicemail next time. Cheers to everyone for the heads up!6 yearsGot a call from some bloke asking for the director and started firing off all these security questions. Told him to jog on straight away. What a pain!6 yearsGot a call just now from someone asking for the director and wanted me to answer some security questions. I told him to do one! Number was 01142317440.6 yearsGot a call on our personal landline from someone wanting to talk about a "Limited company" or something. My missus quickly told them it’s a private number and suggested they try a business contact instead, then she just ended the call. Honestly, just block the number and don’t pick up if they ring you!6 yearsReally dodgy call, kept asking for loads of personal details just to "verify" me. Didn’t buy it at all. Came from 0114 231 7440 if anyone wants to watch out.6 yearsI got a call from a number I didn’t recognise and, like I always do, I looked it up. After reading the reviews, I decided not to pick up.6 yearsAbsolutely horrible folks, wish there was a way to silence their annoying voices - so awful!6 yearsSo annoying when people ring up expecting you to chat but won’t tell you who they are or what company they're from, all because of some data protection rubbish. Honestly, who do they think they are? Proper pain in the neck!7 yearsHad a call from a really unpleasant woman who started being abusive when I refused to give her my name or respond to her security questions. She insisted I had to answer before she’d explain why she was ringing. Then she threatened to leave a complaint for the managing director about how rude and difficult I was being. That’s when I told her to piss off - mind you, the MD she was moaning about is actually my husband, so I doubt he’ll take her side!Submit Your Own Report (0114 231 7440)
