01617381248 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01617381248 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation, typically involving automated calls or individuals with South African or Indian accents falsely claiming the recipient is due a tax or PPI refund. Callers may appear knowledgeable, sometimes knowing the recipient's name, and use local numbers to gain trust. They often request personal details or ask recipients to sign documents via text links, which should be refused to avoid potential fraud. Genuine tax refunds from HMRC will not be communicated this way. Many recipients report rude behaviour, repeated calls, and attempts to pressure for information. The consensus strongly advises against answering or engaging with these calls, recommending immediate blocking to prevent harassment.

3 yearsI suspect this might have been yet another spammy automated call.3 yearsBeware of those chaps with Indian accents trying to con you with tales of supposed tax refunds! Don't fall for their tricks!3 yearsThis person is a scammer. They claim companies owe huge amounts in taxes that supposedly haven’t been claimed back. Definitely a trick to get money from you.3 yearsGot a call from a woman with a South African accent who mentioned my name and talked about some sort of tax refund. Didn’t buy it and just ended the call.3 yearsfor the last couple of days this number kept buzzing me. I decided to pick up today, and wow, the bloke on the other end was so rude! he was going on about some ppi form I supposedly filled out. no way did I! ended up blocking the number right after.3 years"Tax Refund" stuff again... total con, best to just ignore it.3 yearsGot a call from some bloke pretending to be from the tax refund office. Total scam from India, no doubt about it.3 yearsI picked up and there was a long pause before some music started playing. Ended up hanging up and blocking the number.3 yearsI just ignored the call, felt like one of those dodgy scams. Ended up blocking the number straight away.3 yearsI picked up, but there was a bit of a lag before the call actually connected. Then they asked if I was Mr. Reed or Reeve, neither of which I am. I told them who I was and explained it was the wrong number.ReedReeve3 yearsThese random unknown calls that keep blowing up my phone are nothing short of harassment and honestly, should be made illegal. People get really scared and it’s just not on. Plus, companies like EE and BT ought to be stopped from handing out our details without asking the person who’s actually paying the bill. It’s just not right.EEBT3 yearsI picked up but the phone just dropped the call.3 yearsI think they must have rung the wrong number by accident.3 yearsNo idea what she was on about at all.3 yearsSomebody called saying they had my PPI payout ready. I was a bit tied up at the time, so I just told them to buzz off. I was kinda curious though about what would have happened if I’d let it go on.3 yearsSomeone rang me saying it was about a tax refund, but when I told them I wasn’t expecting one, they just went off with something like “oh, you know your tax stuff then, bye.” If this was legit, they wouldn’t just hang up like that!! Plus, HMRC always lets you know about refunds through the post or your online account, not random calls.HMRC3 yearsDefinitely a scam call, best to just ignore it!3 yearsI got hit by one of those payment protection insurance scams. Absolutely dodgy!3 yearsThey told me I had a tax refund waiting from HMRC, supposedly from overpayments going back 15+ years (they said it wasn’t PPI but tax at 8% on previous payments). Claimed the payment would come through in about 3-4 weeks. Didn’t ask for any bank details or money, just wanted to verify my address first, then they sent me a text with a link asking me to update my signature. I wasn’t comfortable opening the link and said I’d look into the company and contact HMRC directly myself. That’s when they hung up. Pretty sure it’s a scam! The guy spoke with a South African accent and sounded quite genuine, but please be cautious and don’t give your signature - they could misuse it for fraud.HMRC3 yearsGot a call from someone with a South African accent, they had my name and were calling from a local area code. They said it was about a tax refund, but honestly, HMRC never ring you up about that kind of thing!HMRC3 yearsDefinitely a scam call, best to just ignore and block it straight away.3 yearsGot a call from them, I said straight away it was a scam and dropped the line. Then they rang back and started shouting at me, couldn’t help but laugh! What a joke.3 yearsThey rang me loads saying I was owed PPI from my credit card and that they’d text me a form to sign and send back so I could get my cash in about 4 weeks. I never got the text because I blocked the number. I told them I thought it was a scam. Then they tried ringing me again from a different number but I just didn’t pick up.3 yearsShe claimed to ring up “all customers” but when I asked what company, she couldn’t tell me. Eventually, she just admitted she only had my name and number - no more info at all. Honestly, what’s the point of this kinda call?3 yearsGot a call where there was that typical delay you get with robo calls and then a bloke started talking saying he was with some tax refund firm. I hung up straight away. Like others have said, he sounded South African.3 yearsThey gave me a ring, going on about some tax refund I supposedly qualified for, which I definitely don't. Felt like a total scam, honestly.3 yearsGot a call from someone with a South African accent asking me about a tax refund.3 yearsAbsolute rip-off!3 yearsThis was definitely a junk call.Submit Your Own Report (0161 738 1248)
