Reports also recommend not returning missed calls or voicemail messages and highlight legal protections against unsolicited automated calls. Overall, this number is best avoided and treated as a scam intended to provoke fear and coerced responses.

8 yearsGot calls from this number two times already. Honestly, they're just a pain. Best to just hang up and forget about it.8 yearsI got a call from 01438 016561 at about 2.56pm just now. A woman’s recorded voice told me she was from some Cyber Crime team, saying my internet was hacked loads of times and if I didn’t press 1 to get help online my broadband would be cut off in an hour. Of course, I hung up straight away and didn’t press a single button!Cyber Crime Unit8 yearsGot a weird recorded call from a woman claiming to be Dennis Grey at HMRC telling me or my lawyer to ring them back or else there’d be trouble. Reported it straight to HMRC. Funny thing is, a few days earlier I got the exact same message but from another phone number.Dennis GreyHMRC8 yearsGot a call from 01438 940 575 claiming to be from HMRC. The pre-recorded message was really intimidating, but it’s just a way to scare you. HMRC don’t ring you up out of the blue - they always contact you through proper written letters sent by post. They won’t phone, text or email you first. If anyone calls saying they’re from HMRC, just hang up on them. Only take it seriously if you receive something in the post from the real HMRC.HMRC8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be HMRC, sounded really scary and said I was in trouble with criminal law or something.
