Reports on phone number 01616408402
6 yearsJust got a call on my work phone from 0161 067 8402, with a recorded message claiming to be from HM Revenue & Customs. They said there’s some fraud issue linked to me and if I didn’t press 1 to talk, I’d be taken in by the police within 2 days. Tried ringing back but couldn’t get through at all. When I contacted the actual tax office, they confirmed it’s a scam and said they’re looking into it. Proper dodgy!HM Revenue and Customs7 yearsLoads of calls from 0161 lately, I just ignore them and block straight away now.7 yearsGot a call from this number first thing today. We usually ignore any calls from unknown numbers, but hearing the phone go off so early really unsettled me, especially since we've got older family members around. When the phone rings that early, it’s hard not to worry.7 yearsReceived a call from this number yesterday afternoon. The person on the line was inquiring about a Miss Isobel! When I pressed for more information, they abruptly hung up. I made sure not to divulge any personal information to the woman on the other end.Miss Isobel7 yearsPhone rang, I picked up but only silence on the other end before they just cut me off.7 yearsGot a call where the person just stayed quiet and then just ended it without saying a word.7 yearsThey were just after my personal info, seemed like they wanted to scam me or something. Definitely suspicious, trying to pry into my details a bit too much. Wouldn’t trust those calls at all.7 yearsI couldn't make out what she was saying, so I just ended the call and blocked the number.7 yearsNumbr keeps ringin me and all I get is a voicemail with no sound at all.7 yearsJust got a call out of the blue from this number. They didn’t say who they were but asked if Carl was there. I told them no, I wasn’t Carl. Then they tried to chat with me about some stuff and asked for my full name. Something felt off, so I declined and cut the call short. Sounds like one of those sneaky cold calls where they try to trick you by acting like they’re after someone else.Carl7 yearsAlright so these calls keep coming through all day, every day. I've tried blocking them but they just ring from different numbers that are almost the same. Really annoying!7 yearsGot calls from what they said was a UK firm but was actually some marketing outfit based in India. They kept ringing and kept asking for loads of personal stuff. Honestly felt quite unsafe and a bit harassed with all the calls.UKIndia7 yearsAnother time i've had to block them. I'm thinking of writing a message about how they’re violating the GDPR rules - but honestly, it feels pointless. BLOCKED again.7 yearsJust blocked them straight away :)7 yearsGot another call from a new number today and of course, straight to blocked again. You'd think they'd catch on by now, but clearly not much brainpower behind their team.7 yearsGot a bothersome call yet again, but from a new number. The caller had an Asian accent. I've blocked these numbers multiple times now. Happening around Manchester.Manchester7 yearsGot a call from a different number this time. I told them I already answered their questions the week before, and they just said they were verifying info. When I questioned why they were bothering me again after promising not to call, the lady had no reply and just ended the call.7 yearsI don't get why they keep ringing when no one picks up. Honestly, for the folks doing the calling, it seems like a pretty sweet gig. Phone rings, no reply, still get the cash. Call again, no luck, still getting paid. Sounds like a breeze to make money. 🤑😡7 yearsJust had to block another call from Beneficial. Seriously, how do they manage to keep getting away with this? It’s beyond annoying!Beneficial7 yearsCan anyone tell me what company this is? Someone got an idea about the name?7 yearsHad enough!!!! Completely flooded their Facebook with messages and reviews - literally gone and wiped their page within just a couple of hours!! Next step, sorting out phone calls and sending something to their London office - any ideas what to post??London7 yearsThese calls come from different numbers and ive had to block loads of them. Honestly, this kind of harrassment needs to be banned, its just too much to deal with.7 yearsI've tried contacting their data protection officer a couple of times now, and even opted out through their website and voice system. I also told them directly on a call to take me off their list. But nope, I still get loads of calls every week from places like Cardiff, Manchester, or who knows where else. Honestly, I'm about to start messing about in a rubbish accent just to waste their time!CardiffManchester7 yearsGot a call from the same woman with an Asian accent, but on a different number this time. She said she was from Beneficial again, trying to make me answer some questions to remove my number. I was pretty clear that I wasn’t going to answer anything and told her firmly they should just take my number off their list. She kept interrupting and talking over me, which was really annoying. When I asked where she even got my number, she gave some sort of unclear response in a really rude tone before cutting me off. Blocked her again, though I doubt it’ll stop her from calling back.7 yearsI got a call from someone with a pretty clear subcontinental accent, asking me for details about where I live and other stuff. They mentioned the company was called "Beneficial," and said it was a big survey firm or something like that.Beneficial7 yearsthe number i mentioned last week was really annoying. they kept calling me loads throughout the day. it’s some kinda survey. i haven’t bothered answering any of their questions yet. when i tried asking where they got my details from, they just ended the call on me.7 yearsI picked up the phone but they just dropped the call on me like four times today.7 yearsSuch a pesky sales firm, always ringing at the worst times!Submit Your Own Report (0161 640 8402)
