2 yearsThese lot say they’ll help you get PPI tax back from HMRC but I never signed up with them or anything. HMRC turned down the claim and now Frederick Edwards want me to pay £255 for no good reason. Just ignore their cold calls, seriously!HMRCFrederick Edwards4 yearsFrederick Edwards here.Freddy Edwards4 yearsFredrick Edwards called me saying I owed 240 quid for some marriage tax allowance thing. He sent over a PDF with terms and conditions and signatures that he said were mine and my partner's, but they’re definitely not us! This is a total scam, don’t fall for it!Fredrick Edwards4 yearsFREDRICK EDWARDS = TOTAL SCAM, avoid this firm at all costs! They constantly ignore their own rules and then try to trick you into thinking you’ve messed up, just so they can charge you £240. Then they bombard you with emails trying to force payment. Don't fall for these con artists! They pretend they've spoken to HMRC on your behalf but actually haven’t. They break their terms and make it seem like you haven’t reached out to HMRC, then slap you with a £240 bill. Complete rip-off! SCAM SCAM SCAM!HMRC4 yearsGot a call from this number but didn’t pick up. Then I got a message saying I might be entitled to some cash from PPI and to ring them back. Bit unsure what’s going on here.4 yearsI keep getting calls loads of times a week, starting early morning and all day long, saying I used some finance firm to reclaim PPI. I’ve never done any such thing. Please don’t fall for it, these people are just preying on vulnerable and older folks.5 yearsFredrick Edwards has been pestering me loads, I got worried and didn’t pick up. Now they're demanding £240 from me.Fredrick Edward5 yearsReally dodgy number, some tax recovery firm, steer clear no matter what, these guys are total crooks.5 yearsAbsolutely sounds like a PPI nuisance. They’re keen to get you to reclaim tax on your salary or pensions-some sort of con job, if you ask me. They requested to have a chat with my partner, but only provided a company name. When I probed for details about their intentions, they claimed it was all hush-hush due to data protection nonsense. Then they insisted on speaking to my husband once more, to which I thought: he won’t spill anything to me, so why bother? I simply hung up. They’re relentless, akin to pesky jackals that just won't budge.5 yearsFrederick Edwards never picked up, so I tried ringing back to find out who it was. Looked it up online and it might be some scam company.Frederick Edwards5 yearsGot a call from Frederick Edwards Ltd claiming I was due a refund on tax I’d overpaid. They tried to say I was getting £500 back, but it turned out that was just my tax allowance at the 40% bracket. Luckily, I know a bit about how tax works so I saw through it. I reported them to the insolvency authorities for what seems like financial fraud.Frederick Edwards Ltd.5 yearsWhen I asked who they was, all I got was Frederick Edwards before he just hung up on me.Frederick Edwards5 yearsMy network provider gave me a warning about this number being suspicious, so I just went ahead and blocked it right away.5 yearsMy network flagged this number as maybe being a fraud, so I just went ahead and blocked it straight away.5 yearsThis number rang me back just now. I figured I’d pick up, there was some weird heavy breathing and then they cut the call off.5 yearsGot a call from Fredricksons or something like that, and they asked if I was ok with recording the call. When I said no, they just hung up and wouldn’t say who they were or what they were after. Bit frustrating really.Fredricksons5 yearsGot a call from this number around 11.20 today, didn’t answer because these types of calls keep coming through all the time.5 yearsthis number rang me at 9.14 in the morning today!!! I cant believe they keep bothering me like this, it's so annoying!5 yearsThey rang me about a PPI claim, asking for my hubby. I told them to take us off their list cos we’ve got no claims with them, then I just blocked the number.5 yearsThis number calls me pretty much every day, but I never pick up since I don’t recognise it and wasn’t expecting anyone. They never bother to leave a voicemail either.5 yearsI already got this number blocked on my phone, but they still left this weird heavy breathing voicemail. Honestly, these folks are the absolute worst - someone needs to put a stop to them.5 yearsFredrick EdwardsFrederick Edwards5 yearsGot a call from a woman who was really rude and wouldn’t say what she wanted right away. It was some cold call about a supposed HMRC refund and PPI stuff - total rubbish.HMRC5 yearsSomebody called saying it was about a pip claim and that tax was paid by mistake. They said I could get some tax money back. But when I asked for details, they ended the call straight away.5 yearsThey said it was about a PIP claim and that I’d accidentally paid tax on it. Then they said I might get a tax rebate. I didn’t give them any details, and they ended the call pretty sharpish.5 yearsFredrick Edwards Limited say they can help with tax refunds related to PPI. If you’ve ever made a PPI claim before, they probably have your info. Not exactly a scam but I’d be cautious about trusting them. Plus, they charge over 40% plus VAT on any refund, which seems daylight robbery. I’ve reported their unsolicited calls to the TPS from number 01615412520.Fredrick Edwards LimitedTelephone Preference Service5 yearsThis number keeps calling me like 3 or 4 times a day with missed calls. I've just blocked it now. I never pick up if I don't know who it is.5 years01615 412520 just rang me but as soon as i picked up, they hung up. I was actually waiting for a call from someone else, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.5 yearsSomeone rang me today but no message was left, seems like it could be one of those scam calls.5 yearsGot a missed call, but no voicemail left. From what I’ve read in other reviews, it seems like it’s a scam pretending to be from HMRC.HMRC5 yearsGot a call today about tax refunds on ppi claims, they said they could help get my tax back from hmrc. Asked for loads of personal info, so I ended up blocking the number.HMRC5 yearsSomeone rang my landline earlier asking for my missus, told them she passed away over 4 years ago. Just thought I'd let you know.5 years01615412520 keeps ringing my mobile every single day, sometimes even more than once. They've also started calling my landline now and again. I don’t answer because I don’t recognise the Manchester area code. Proper annoying!Manchester5 yearsI've been getting constant calls from 01615412520 and even after blocking it, they keep trying. We get these calls pretty much every day at different times. Why hasn't anything been done about this yet?5 yearsGot a missed call at 09:18 on 6th August 2020 and I blocked the number straight away. Since then, they've called 18 times. The most recent call was today at 10:12. If this is an HMRC scam like others are saying, why isn't there any action being taken to catch and punish these scammers?HMRC5 yearsSo, this chap invited me over to his place, wanting me to give his rear a good smack whilst donning a rather peculiar gimp suit. He promised a payment of £200 for my troubles. What a weirdo!5 yearsKept ringing me up saying they could assist in getting back tax on PPI payouts. They had some pretty detailed financial info about me and said they were linked to HMRC. Feels like a scam to me, so I’d say don’t answer!HMRC5 yearsNot sure who that was. Thankfully I didn't pick up!5 yearsThey rang up saying I’d recently got a refund from something like PPI or a payday loan and that I could get tax back on it. But I never had any refund.6 yearsThat was really strange and unusual, I just blocked it. Really grateful for the block feature, I dunno how I'd manage if all the numbers I already blocked started ringing along with new ones.6 yearsi have no idea who called me, i get tons of calls like this and have blocked loads of numbers but they just keep on ringing anyway.6 yearshaven't got a clue who this is, completely clueless here!6 years01615412520 has been calling me, I didn’t answer, but they keep ringing, sometimes a couple times a day, for several weeks now.6 yearsNever picked up. I've got this number on block but it still rings me at least once a day for ages now, it's proper frustrating.6 yearsThey said their name was Fredrick Edwards or sumthin like that.Fredrick Edwards6 yearsGot a call from a guy today - I’d had loads of missed calls from the same number over the last few weeks but was too busy with work to pick up. The questions he asked started to seem a bit odd so I checked online. At first it seemed proper, but then I got a bit uneasy about what I was sharing and fibbed on a couple of details. Still can’t shake the feeling they might know more than I’m comfortable with. Ended the call pretty quick.6 yearsThey say they’re from hmrc and ask you to ring them back.HMRC6 yearsI put this number on block back in August 2020 but they keep ringing me non stop.6 yearsI blocked this number a few months back but still get calls from it, they just show up as missed calls now, which is pretty irritating. They ring maybe once or twice a day and it's getting really annoying. Is there any way to get this number shut down? If it’s a troublesome one, surely HMRC or someone could look into it?HMRC6 yearsHad this number blocked ages ago, yet they still ring me about 5 times daily if you check the call history. Absolute bunch of con artists!6 yearsDisadvantage - derived from individuals.6 yearsThis number just keeps calling me non stop. Whenever I try to pick up, they just end the call immediately. It's happened about 5 times today already. So I thought I’d check it out here on this site.6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Frederick Edwards and wanted to speak to my hubby about something private. They rang my number and kept using my husband’s first name with my last name. They wouldn’t say what the company actually does or why they needed to speak to him - felt fishy, definitely a scam!Frederick Edwards6 yearsI havent picked up this number as it seems like a cold caller, but theyve been ringing me non stop for almost 2 weeks now.6 yearsIt's those pesky PPI callers again; they seem to ring me incessantly. I'm honestly at my wit's end with them!6 yearsI received a call today claiming they had me on their records for a tax rebate. They kicked things off by addressing me as David. It seems they're trying to verify if I'm actually the individual connected to that address and that all my information is in order.David6 years0161 5412510 Keep clear of this one, they were talking about some tax rebate and how tax was taken off a PPI claim or something like that. Seemed really dodgy to me!! This number has rang me a few times already. Definitely dont share any personal details with them.6 yearsGot a letter from 01615412520, someone called Fredrik Edwards claiming it’s urgent about overpaid tax and asking me to contact HMRC. Felt a bit dodgy to me.Fredrik EdwardsHMRC6 yearsI got a call from a lady named Sairah who said I might be able to claim some tax back if I had any settled claims. She was really nice and said she’d post me some details to have a proper look at. I had a look at their website and it seemed pretty legit. Just got the packet she sent and after comparing it with my bank’s settlement letters, turns out she was spot on!Sairah6 yearsI got a call inquiring whether I'd received a PPI refund, mentioning that there’s a possibility to reclaim the tax paid. Honestly, I wasn’t even aware there had been any tax taken off! The woman I spoke to was incredibly helpful, I must say.6 yearsHad a ring from a polite woman who was talking about some kind of ppi. Seemed like she was just making stuff up about my cards. She mentioned I’d paid tax on them and could help get it back, asked for my NI number but I didn’t give it. Then said she’d send a claims form by text, which she already had my number for. I’m not trusting this one, haven’t replied to the text or clicked any links.National Insurance6 yearsTotally a scam. They fibbed about the information they supposedly had on me, couldn’t answer what claims I supposedly made, but just agreed with every fake detail I threw at them. Watch out!!6 yearsHad a call out of the blue about a supposed PPI tax refund, they followed up with a text asking me to sign something, claiming it’s quicker than post. Then asked for my NI number, which I refused to give. Found this site and decided to ignore their calls. Got a letter about a 240 quid breach of contract, spoke to my solicitor who advised me to just ignore it. Tried calling them back, but no answer and got cut off after waiting 25 minutes. Sounds like a total scam to me.National Insurance6 yearsFrederick Edwards said they could sort out a tax refund for me but it just landed me with a HMRC charge of over £1000. Stay clear!Frederick EdwardsHMRC6 yearsTheyve called me loads saying they can sort out a tax refund for me. Totally dodgy scammers.6 years01615412510 called me claiming there's a tax refund and said they're from Frederick Edwards, but its a scam - best just hang up straight away.Frederick Edwards6 yearsFredrick Edwards told me I couldn't talk to someone and to just stay on the line, seemed dodgy so I checked online. Really happy to see others have flagged them too.Fredrick Edwards6 yearsSo annoyed with these calls, they ring at all hours! The exact same number keeps calling my missus’ phone - HMRC? Total scammers!HMRC6 yearsThey claimed they’re filing a claim with hmrc on my behalf, but i have no clue who they are. Really don’t feel comfortable sharing my personal info with strangers over the phone.HMRC6 yearsTried calling Sheffield, no reply, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.Sheffield6 yearsjust ignore it6 yearsKeeps ringing me non stop.6 yearsFredrick called asking to talk to my dad, saying it was something personal he needed to discuss in person. When I asked what it was about, he just kept saying it was private and promised he was polite with an English accent. He asked loads more questions, but every time I said it was a personal matter for my dad. Then I told him my father had passed away, and he quickly said sorry, said he’d take him off the list, and hung up. I really don’t get how the same number can be behind so many different calls. Isn’t there any way the police can track these scammers down and stop them?Fredrick6 yearsAs soon as I picked up the phone, they hung up straight away. It's clearly one of those tactics to verify if my number is active. I can already predict that I'll be inundated with nuisance calls later on today.6 yearsShe asked if I was Brendan but I told her she’d got the wrong number. After that I just ended the call, so I don’t know what happened next.Brendan6 years01615412520 rang me but wouldn't tell me who Frederick Edwards is. He wanted to record the conversation and when I said no, he just ended the call. How come these sorts keep getting away with this when the officials are well aware of them?!6 yearsGot a robo call from someone pretending to be HMRC sayin I’m bein investigated for fraud and there’s a warrant out for me if I don’t press 1. Rang HMRC myself and turns out it’s just a scam. Blocked the number straight away!HMRC6 yearsGot a call talking about an accident that never even happened to me.6 yearsThis lot are total scammers, only interested in blagging folks’ tax refunds for their own gain.6 yearsSomeone rang and just dropped the call straight away.6 yearsThey said their name was Frederick Edwards and wanted to talk about PPI claims. I asked where they got my number from and told them to take it off their list. They seemed like a genuine company but I’m not really up for random cold calls.Frederick Edwards6 yearsGot a call about reclaiming tax on PPI. The guy said he’d text me the info and I could just sign on my phone to agree to them handling it, saying it’d be faster that way. I said no thanks and asked for a paper copy to be sent in the post instead. During the chat, he also slyly asked which bank I use. He told me he was from Frederick Edwards Ltd. If I get anything through the post I’ll make sure to check it out properly.Frederick Edwards Ltd6 yearsGot a call out of the blue from this firm I’ve never heard of. They were trying to get me to claim back tax from some PPI thing. When I asked where they got my number, they wouldn't tell me. Told them to remove me from their list and they just hung up on me!6 yearsFredrick Edwards actually seem like a proper company, even tho I was a bit iffy at first. I reckon a lot of the bad reviews come from folks who maybe didn’t pay attention or just didn’t get it.Fredrick Edwards6 yearsSomeone called asking for my son, so I just ended the call.6 yearsSaid they could assist with getting back interest from HMRC - total con.HMRC6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be checking up on my insurance claim, let him go on for a bit.

After about 5 minutes I hung up and blocked the number 01615412520.6 yearsSomeone named Adam rang up asking for my missus, saying it’s regarding tax stuff. He refused to explain any more unless I handed the phone over to her. When I asked if he was with some government dept, he replied no, quite the opposite!Adam6 yearsGot a call about some tax and PPI thing, these lot were really pushy. I asked nicely no less than four times to take us off their call list.6 yearsGot a call from 01615412520, some bloke called William trying to offer help claiming back tax from a PPI payout I supposedly got. He gave an email, hello@fredrickedwards[###], as his company contact. I told him I’d have to look into his firm first so he’s going to ring me again on Monday. Funny thing is, at least I messed around long enough to use up his minutes! After Monday’s call, I’m definitely blocking this number. Could be an entertaining follow-up, we’ll see.William6 yearsAbsolute wankers, just trying to con people out of their money.6 yearsThey wanted me to verify my personal info before chatting about tax stuff, and said they’d hang up if I didn’t. So I just said goodbye and ended it.6 yearsJust like the call I got on 6th August 2020, the same situation again. I had my PPI claim dealt with by Money Reclaim Experts - definitely not experts in my opinion! Makes me wonder if there’s some connection since both use an 0161 number.Money6 yearsSome bloke called Solomon ringing about a PPI CLAIM supposedly from MBNA.
