01522240286 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01522240286 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number targeting mainly vulnerable or elderly people, using recorded messages claiming to be from HM Revenue & Customs. Callers falsely warn of legal action or police visits unless immediate contact is made, often requesting solicitor involvement. Many report threatening or confusing calls, sometimes with aggressive or accented voices, aiming to frighten recipients into sharing personal or financial information. The messages are often unclear and repeated multiple times a day, causing distress. Several users have involved the police or Action Fraud after being contacted. It is widely recognised that legitimate HMRC communication would be via letter or direct conversation, not automated calls. Many find the calls annoying and intimidating, with some warnings about costs if returned. The number is generally considered fraudulent and unsafe to engage with.

I just got home after being away for a few days, and I noticed I’d received three calls from this number all within about an hour. The voicemail sounded quite scratchy, like it’s been played too many times or something. I’m definitely not answering it.

This morning I got a voicemail from someone saying they were from HMRC. The message said I had to ring 01522 240286 or legal proceedings would begin. I’m certain I don’t owe anything, so it’s clearly a scam. If it was for real, they’d probably call me direct and speak to me properly, not just leave some robotic message. Just a heads up, don’t bother ringing back!

I've had this number ring me loads of times, and I thought I shouldn't just block it. When I finally gave it a ring back, the call dropped after just three rings. Feels like someone’s trying to scare folks, or maybe it’s just some elaborate scam messing about.

I received a rather vague communication from this number claiming to represent the Inland Revenue, threatening legal repercussions if I didn’t return their call. I chose not to engage with them, as it seems suspicious to me.

I keep gettin' calls from this number with some automated voice sayin' I shouldn't ignore it and gotta reply straight away. Really annoying!

I made a post about this yesterday, and today the same number rang me again. I saw the story about the bloke whose mum got contacted by them too. What I’d say to anyone reading this is to follow the advice I got from my local bobby - call Action Fraud and give them all the details you can remember. Also, head over to the HMRC Inland Revenue website and send them an email with everything you’ve noted down, like whether they asked for any payments or bank info. The quicker these scams get stopped, the safer we all are.

My mum was hysterical on the phone, absolutely certain the police would be turning up because HMRC were after her! They had her on the line for about 45 minutes when she called them back and ended up chatting with some guy who sounded like Will Smith’s Asian version! She ended up giving some personal details, which is why I’ve had to report it to the cops. Honestly, if I ever get one of these calls, I’m not holding back. My poor 70-year-old disabled mum was nearly in tears, struggling to breathe she was so upset. Bloody disgusting people.

I received a voicemail from a robotic voice stating that I needed to call a particular number or risk facing legal repercussions. It struck me as a classic telephone scam, and I’d advise against taking any action whatsoever. Whatever you do, don’t return the call to that number!

Not sure who it was, but this afternoon I got three calls from someone claiming to be HM Revenue & Customs. They said not to ignore the calls and that either I or my lawyer should get in touch with them. Quite suspicious if you ask me.

Got another automated call at about 1.20 pm claiming to be from inland revenue, warning me not to ignore it or else I'd face legal trouble. Had a similar call yesterday from the number 0186 5413305. It's really scary, especially for older or more vulnerable people.

Got a call from some posh sounding lady earlier - at first I thought it was legit. But as we went on, her voice started to sound like some dodgy old-time radio bloke, and I couldn’t help but chuckle. Chill out, it’s definitely a scam. If HMRC ever need to reach you, they’ll probably send you a letter, no need to panic.

Got a call today, 18/5/17, from 01522240286 claiming to be from Revenue and Customs. They said I had to ring them back and even dropped something about needing a solicitor. After checking online, I found out it’s a scam. Really frustrating that BT doesn’t seem to have a way to block these kind of calls.

Got a call from someone with a strong Indian accent pretending to be from HMRC. When we told him we knew it was a scam, he didn’t back down and even warned about being arrested in 45 minutes! This was shared by a 72-year-old widow who was really shaken up by the whole thing. Honestly, you'd think BT could track this bloke down and make sure he gets caught. It's just not on.

I called back this number and got through to someone named Mike Davies. Definitely one of those tax department scams.

Today, I got a call from 01522240286 and honestly, it seemed really risky for folks who might be vulnerable like elderly people, those with disabilities or anyone struggling with mental health or learning challenges. It’s shocking that BT isn’t taking any action over this.

This number just rang me up saying they’re from the Inland Revenue and that I supposedly owe nearly £4,000 in unpaid taxes due to a wrong tax form. I told them I haven’t even paid tax before, and the person on the line got really annoyed, threatening me with an arrest warrant! As I tried to argue, they started saying the cops would show up at my place in less than an hour. Honestly, it’s the kind of thing that would scare an older person who might believe it. I’ve now passed all this info onto the police and will let them handle these scam artists!

I got a call from 015222240286 while I was busy trying to sort out selling my house, and the message they left was really confusing. A bloke called Paul Davies claimed to be from the Inland Revenue and said he could fix some issue without it going to court if I sorted it today. Sounds like a money grab to me. Since I work at a solicitor’s office, I knew right away it was a scam, but it could easily scare someone who didn’t know better. He even said he’d send the police round in 45 minutes if I didn’t deal with it. Honestly, don’t bother calling these people back or getting involved.

Had the exact same experience here. Got a recorded message claiming to be from HM Revenue, telling me not to ignore the call and to ring back straight away. Honestly, I’m shocked BT haven’t stepped in to block numbers like these or do something about it!

This has scam written all over it, but I can see why some people might worry. They've rung me 4 times already in just one hour, pretending to be from HM Revenue and telling me to ring back and speak to my solicitor. Don’t fall for it, people - I bet calling back will end up costing you loads. Proper HM Revenue will always send a letter, not some dodgy recorded message like this.

I received a rather dodgy automated call from the number 01522240286. The message was rather muddled, mentioning something to do with revenue and customs.
