Phone number ☎️ 01216813300 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers posing as HMRC or Birmingham Crown Court officials, threatening arrest over fabricated tax evasion or fraud allegations. The fraudsters use intimidating tactics, demanding immediate payment via bank transfers or apps, often pressuring for personal and financial details. They frequently disconnect when questioned or asked for official documentation, and sometimes employ automated messages or multiple phone numbers to appear credible. Victims report stress and confusion, with some being contacted repeatedly. Genuine court or HMRC communications are conducted by letter, not aggressive phone calls. Users are strongly advised not to share personal information or send money, to block the numbers, and to report suspicious calls to official authorities. Awareness and caution can prevent falling victim to these scams.

3 yearsLoads of texts from 01216813300 telling me to go for jury duty has me thinking this might be some kinda scam. Surely they'd send a proper letter, not just keep texting like this.4 yearsHonestly, watch out for calls from India - they’re usually just trying to scam you. Definitely don’t trust them.India4 yearsWatch out, it's definitely a scam. Really appreciate everyone posting their experiences - it’s a big help for others so they don’t get caught out.4 yearsTell my missus that our car was used in a crime and that her bloke is gonna get nicked.4 yearsThese two numbers, +44 12 1681 3300 and +44 20 7247 7697, kept ringing my mum’s mobile early in the day. They told her she was facing arrest for not paying taxes and had to cough up cash within half an hour or they’d issue a warrant. It really upset her and brought her to tears. Luckily, I soon figured out it was a total con and we shut those numbers down.4 yearsMy mum got a call from 01216813300 and 02072477697 early this morning. They told her she was going to be arrested for not paying her taxes, which really upset her and made her cry. They said she had half an hour to pay up or they'd send a warrant. I soon figured out this was a total scam, so we put a block on those numbers.4 yearsGot a phone call from someone saying they were with HMRC, saying I needed to get a criminal lawyer because I'd been dodging taxes. They said I had to pay a £3,200 fine right away or my bank account would get locked and I'd be arrested within 45 minutes. I told them I needed some time to think, even if it meant getting arrested. Then the caller abruptly hung up, shouting something about the police coming to arrest me.HMRC4 yearsThey said they were from HMRC but I wasn't convinced. I kept questioning them and they didn't seem happy about it. I asked for some kind of proof but they just kept telling me I was being recorded. Then when I mentioned I'd only got 40p in my bank, they suddenly said they'd sort the whole thing out! Proper dodgy if you ask me.HMRC4 yearsLooks like these fraudsters still haven’t bothered settling their taxes.4 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from the Birmingham Criminal Court and wanted me to cough up £2300. I was really stressed out at first. Then they mentioned I could just send the money over to fix things quickly. That’s when I realised it was probably a scam. Watch out for these dodgy calls!Birmingham Criminal Court4 yearsThis call was totally bogus.4 yearsI got a call like this the other day. They told me to press 1, then mentioned something about Birmingham Crown Court. The caller said, "I'll ring you back from this number," and that "this call is being recorded." They claimed I was about to be arrested for some error linked to me or an old employer. They quickly added, "Don’t worry, we know it’s not your fault." Then came the threat: I could either attend court and face up to five years inside plus a £29,000 fine, or… here’s the catch! They offered to settle it for £1,980, saying it can be fully refunded later - usual nonsense. While on the phone, I quickly looked up the number online and found identical reports from others. As soon as they started to figure out what to do when I said I didn’t have that kind of money, I began recording. I asked if it was alright to share the recording with my lawyer and they casually said "yeah, no problem," before suddenly cutting off. Real scam.Birmingham CrownCourt4 yearsI got a phone call saying I owed £1740 in unpaid tax and had to sort it out immediately. I was shocked and ended the call right away. Then she rang back, threatening to take me to court if I ended the call again. I told them to send me an official letter from the court, but then they just cut the call off. After looking up the number and reading some reviews, I realised it was a scam. Just a heads up to stay safe!4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC, accusing me of fraud and said I had about 20 bank accounts linked to money laundering. They told me I had to download Wise and send them a penalty fee immediately. It sounded fishy, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.HMRCWise4 yearsBEWARE OF SCAM - Never hand over money for any "COUNCIL TAX" they claim you owe.4 yearsMy daughter, who's 12, got a phone call where the person said if she didn't cough up £2483, they'd get her arrested and drag us into court. They also told her not to mention it to us and suggested she ask for money for clothes and things.4 yearsGot a call from 02082871522 and when I picked up, it was some automated voice claiming I was wanted for HMRC criminal offences. It said to press 1 to speak with an officer. When I did, a woman with a foreign accent answered and told me I owed £1980 in unpaid tax and that Birmingham Crown Court had issued a warrant for my arrest. She asked how I usually pay my taxes and even gave me a Birmingham number, 0121 681 3300, to sound legit. She told me to look up the arrest warrant online for proof. While she was talking, I checked the 0121 number and found out it was a scam. I told her what I’d found and she just hung up. Wasted five minutes of my time and gave me a headache. Absolute scumbags, watch out for these scammers!HMRCBirmingham Crown CourtBirmingham4 yearsTotally a dodgy call, nothing legitimate about it.4 yearsFirst they send a call pretending to be from Birmingham Court and then follow up with another call that looks like it’s coming from the same number.Birmingham Court4 yearsToday, I got a call from this same number and they kept pushing me to send money.4 yearsThis person pretended to be from HM Revenue and Customs, just like I've read in other posts. They told me I supposedly owed £1900 in taxes and warned that my bank account would get frozen and I'd be arrested if I didn’t sort it out. She kept talking over me, but when I managed to say I’d ring HMRC myself, she just cut the call. Honestly, their tone and way of speaking didn’t seem very clever, so I had a bad feeling it was a scam!HMRC4 yearsGot a call from some dodgy lot pretending to be from HMRC saying I owed them tax and would get nicked if I didn’t pay up. They wanted any cash I had handy, like £100 or £200, to settle the matter straight away. Proper scam, watch out!HMRC4 yearsI got a call from someone pretending to be from HMRC, saying my sister owed back taxes and that if she didn't pay up, she'd be arrested. They kept pushing for some cash, like £100 or £200, to settle it straight away. Definitely sounded like a scam.HMRC4 yearsGot a call from someone saying I'd get a letter saying I was being arrested because I owed money to the tax office. Turns out they’re probably fishing for info from people who’ve recently dealt with the tax office. FYI, make sure you inform the tax office too. They've been ringing from the number 02080823808 as well. Just be careful!HMRC4 yearsHad a call from them saying I need to pay 500 quid for my kid's passport 🤷🏻♀️ totally didn’t sound right to me!4 yearsMy missus got a call from some dodgy people pretending to be from HMRC, telling her she had unpaid taxes. They threatened she'd be nicked if she didn’t sort it out.HMRC4 yearsJust got a weird call saying my National Insurance would get suspended if I didn’t pay right away using my mobile. Seems like some new fax scam going around here in the UK. Stay cautious folks!UKNational Insurance4 yearsI just got a call from this number saying I had a warrant out for my arrest over tax evasion. They claimed I owed about £1900 and would be looking at 5 years inside plus a £29,000 fine if I didn't pay up. At first, it sounded pretty official with an automated voicemail, but then it put me through to someone pretending to be an HMRC officer - a woman, who asked if I could send £500 first, promising I'd get the £1900 back afterwards. Seemed fishy straight away. I also heard loads of noise in the background and distinctly caught some Indian accents chatting away, which made me realise it was just some dodgy call centre pretending to be from the Birmingham criminal court. The whole thing was bloody sketchy, so I just played dumb and called their bluff. Seriously, don’t fall for this rubbish or send them a penny. Nearly got me good - total scammers.HMRCBirmingham4 yearsI got a call from 02070560028 at first, with someone saying the Birmingham Magistrates Court had filed a claim against me. Then they passed me on to someone else. When I asked how I could verify who they were, they rang me back from 01216813300. They went on to say I was being accused of tax evasion and that all my assets were frozen. Luckily, my partner was nearby and told them to put it all in writing. Right after that, they just hung up. Watch out for this, it seems dodgy.Birmingham Magistrate ' s Court4 yearsGot loads of calls from folks claiming to be from HMRC, really annoying and felt like straight up harassment.

Proper dodgy behaviour!BirminghamHMRC4 yearsScam artists for sure.4 yearsSo, I got a call from 02076078936 saying I hadn’t paid some immigration tax and there’s a case against me at the Birmingham Criminal Court. Then, the same number phoned again with the exact same story. The caller didn’t sound like they were local. I told them I’d be reporting it to my local police station.Birmingham Criminal Court4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from HMRC, claiming I owed £2000 for not paying taxes and that the police would come after me if I didn't pay up. I said I only had £10 left, and I was in Halifax anyway. They didn’t want to end the call, kept pushing me to find the money quick, even suggested borrowing from friends or family because it was some kind of urgent situation. Wanted me to send it over via Starling. Honestly, that was a laugh! Just watch out folks, this is one of those dodgy scam calls.HMRCHalifaxStarling4 yearsThis number rang me up claiming I'd dodged tax for three years and that the police were on their way to arrest me. I told them I'd only been living here for half a year and only started working a couple of weeks ago, so I couldn't possibly owe £2289. I said I'd get my solicitor involved and the person on the phone begged me not to tell anyone. It's definitely a massive con. Be careful, guys. It sounds like a well-planned scam because while they were chatting to me, I could hear loads of other people in the background trying the same trick on others.4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be HMRC, saying I was gonna be arrested for tax evasion and fraud. I was at work when it happened and ended up in tears, feeling totally overwhelmed. It was super awkward trying to hold it together in the office. My anxiety shot up so much I still can’t calm down now.HMRC4 yearsGot a call saying HMRC's on my tail with a £2.7k payment plan to sort it quick.
