Looks like one of those dodgy PPI refund scams. Best not to pick up, just block the number straight away.

I'm convinced this is a total scam. Every time they ring, the final digits keep changing, so there’s no way to block them properly. This week alone, they’ve called me from 44 161 738 1970, then 1971, 1972 and even 1974. Now I just don't bother answering any calls that start with 161!

This number has been buzzing me non-stop for the last week and again today. Just like others have said, it’s the same old story. Before I ended the call, I asked if the conversation was being recorded for training or quality checks, and the lady said yes. When I questioned why she hadn’t mentioned that at the start, she said it wasn’t necessary. Then I asked for their company registration number, and she just gave me the phone number instead. When I pointed out that wasn’t what I asked for, she brushed it off saying “that info isn’t important.” No thanks, straight to BLOCK!

I got a call from ACS Legal saying they could help with a tax refund from HMRC. Sounded a bit fishy to me, not sure if they're legit or just a scam. Has anyone else had this kind of call? Feels like one of those sneaky things.

She just hung up straight away. Later on tonight, a woman called with the exact same story. I told her I wasn’t involved in any legal or tax issues, and said goodbye. Suddenly she snapped, telling me to be quiet and listen!!! I shouted back as loud as I could that she wasn’t the one telling ME to shut up. By the time I finished, she’d already ended the call. Completely a scam, no doubt about it.

I've gotten calls from this number a few times now, and every time I've told them they're scammers, they still keep ringing me. It's really annoying how they don't stop.

They rang me, but I just left it. Honestly, you'd expect them to spend their time and energy on something a bit more useful.

Over the past few days, I’ve been getting loads of calls from these lot - sounds like some kids stuck in a dodgy call centre abroad just messing about. They’re all having a giggle until you pick up, then suddenly they start banging on about HMRC supposedly owing me cash. If you dare to challenge them or ask questions, they get really snappy. Honestly, just block the number straight away - it’s a complete con.

Got a ring from this number claiming I owed some kind of tax refund from HMRC, sounds like one of those classic PPI scams. Thing is, they seemed to know a bit too much about me, which really made me uneasy. Decided to just block it and not bother answering any more calls from them.

A caller claiming to be from ACS Legal about PPI rang me. They knew my first name and email but said they’d got my last name wrong and wanted me to confirm how it was spelled. I told them I wasn’t comfortable sharing that info. Then they tried to reassure me by offering to confirm my date of birth instead. I asked them to repeat the company’s name, and they again said ACS Legal. I told them I’d contact the company directly to check, then they agreed and ended the call. I’ve blocked the number now.

Wasn't near the phone when it rang, so I didn’t answer on time. When I tried returning the call, the number simply wasn’t reachable. I’m honestly worried it might have been some sort of scam.

I keep getting calls from 0161 738 1971, which seems to be from Manchester. They keep ringing me, but whenever I don’t pick up, they don’t leave any voicemail or bother to identify themselves. I’ve also had similar calls from 0161 738 1159, and I suspect it could be the same company or individual behind both numbers. Additionally, I've been receiving a barrage of calls from 0161 532 8165, which is yet another Manchester number. Honestly, it would be lovely if these companies or whoever it is could refrain from bombarding us with these unwanted calls! To those making these calls in Manchester, please take note: we’d much prefer to go about our daily routines without this incessant interruption. Thank you!

The person started off saying they wanted to chat about PPI or something like that. But as soon as I showed no interest, their tone turned quite unpleasant, like they were annoyed I didn’t want to waste time on it.

Yesterday I got a call from a number that was almost the same as one that my phone flagged as possibly fraudulent - only the last digit was a 2. Because of this, I didn’t pick up. The number I got today was really similar, just a different last digit. Looks like my phone’s being cautious about these calls.
