Despite repeated calls, the number is widely regarded as linked to scams and is best avoided.
Reports on phone number 01612497371
9 yearsIt appears I've received a rather dubious call purportedly from HMRC, claiming that I've been involved in tax fraud and that I'm under investigation. They're prompting me to press 3 on my phone to supposedly get more information. It’s obviously a scam, so I wouldn't recommend engaging with them. Best to steer clear of such calls!HMRC9 yearsGot caught up in that PPI scam, but apparently I should be getting back around £1003 soon... Ugh, what a hassle!9 yearsI usually just let calls like these ring off, but I accidentally picked up one this evening. The lady claimed she was from some kind of 'finance firm' - didn't catch the exact name - and insisted they'd send a representative over to talk about financial products or something. I made it clear straight away that I wasn’t interested and told her not to call back or send anyone near my home. No clue if they actually have my address or where they got my number from in the first place. The woman sounded courteous but ended the call pretty fast. Definitely felt dodgy to me.9 yearsI'm pretty sure it's a scam, I told them I wasn't interested and just hung up straight away.9 yearsThis number 01612497371 keeps ringing me nearly every day, but I usually ignore numbers I don’t recognise. Today I accidentally picked up, and the person just stayed silent then hung up straight away. Tried calling back to find out who it was, but the line wouldn’t connect. So I’ve just put it on my blocked list now.9 years18/01/14 01612497371 - This number has been ringing me every day. I never hang up straight away because they’ll figure out my line is live. Instead, I just let it ring until it stops. Honestly, it’s safer to block these annoying callers!9 yearsGot a call from a woman who claimed to be from South Africa, using an outdated address of mine, saying I was due £1003 and that they'd send paperwork for me to sign. Luckily, I'm not as daft as she seemed to think. She accidentally mentioned the money was supposedly from my credit card, which raised my suspicion straight away - I've never had any PPI anyway. Just a heads up to everyone, this smells like a scam alert!South Africa9 yearsKept ringing but no one picked up.9 yearsGot a call about PPI, they started off using my first name which was a bit weird. They said they needed to send me some legal papers so I could claim £1000 back from a PPI. I told them I'd never even had PPI, but they just wouldn’t quit. I finally had enough and just hung up and blocked the number.9 yearsI picked up and there was total silence on the other end - looked like a call centre but nobody said a word.9 yearsGot a call from someone with a foreign accent saying I was owed a PPI refund. They even knew where I lived but used the wrong last name when talking to me. Then they started asking for my credit card info. Definitely a scam.9 yearsThis lady phoned again, struggling a bit with her English, asking for my address and name like multiple times before. She claimed I was due some cash from JD Williams or something. I told her I've never dealt with that company and I'm not the person she mentioned. Seriously, don't they ever stop hassling people?JD Williams9 yearsThey ring me every single day without fail.9 yearsThis number has been ringing me non stop, like every day without fail.9 yearsI got calls from that number too, probably some PPI scam. They also ring from 0161 249 7361 sometimes. I’ve put both of them on my blocked list now.Submit Your Own Report (0161 249 7371)
