I got a call from someone saying they could sort out a tax refund for me cause my tax was apparently incorrect, which is funny because I actually work at HMRC. The lady said her name was Star and claimed she was from ACCS. I’ve already told HMRC about it as it seems totally dodgy.

I can’t remember the name of the company, but they’ve rung me loads of times saying I’m due a refund from some sort of PIP insurance. It doesn’t add up at all. Sounds like a total scam to me, and it’s really awful that they’re going after folks who are probably already struggling, like people on PIP benefits.

I got a call super early, which is odd since normally nobody rings this early unless it’s urgent. Didn’t pick up because the number was totally unfamiliar.

Got a call from 01617381974 today, and my phone flagged it as maybe a scam. I've been getting loads of calls from this code - probably a dozen or more - and everytime I block one number, they just ring back from a similar one but with a few digits changed. It’s pretty much every evening without fail, and now they’re bugging me in the mornings too. Feel like it’s straight up harassment.

Beware of ACCS Legal Services - their PPI tax refund offer is a total scam! Don’t fall for their tricks, it’s just a con to take your money. Stay clear of these scammers.

Got a few calls last week from the same number, supposedly about a tax refund from HMRC. Kind of funny because I’m actually a Chartered Tax Advisor, so I’d know for sure if I had any refund coming. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!

Some woman with an Indian accent rang me, saying I might get a tax refund from HMRC. I just told her if I was owed anything, HMRC would have contacted me themselves, and then I ended the call.

I got a call from 0161 738 1974 and the man claimed he worked for some tax firm called NSCC. Felt dodgy, definitely seemed like a scam or something worse.

I’ve received four calls over the span of just two days, claiming there’s a refund for my PPI waiting for me. They assure me that they don’t require any of my personal information, yet they insist on having me verify some details. To add to it, I also got calls from the numbers 0161 738 1972 and 0161 738 1973. Quite suspicious, isn't it?

Got called a liar loads of times, which was proper rude. They tried to come off like they were legit, but it was obvious they weren’t. Wouldn't recommend picking up or dealing with them at all! They’re really slick and seemed to know everything about me, even stuff like my national insurance number, which is seriously worrying.

The caller knew my partner’s name, but when my partner asked who was calling, they just ended the call right away. I tried ringing the number back myself and the person just said "bye" but sounded strange, nothing like a regular voice. I checked the number here and turns out it’s listed as a scam.

I got a call from someone yammering on about PPI claims. I told them I wasn’t interested and that I’m not well, plus asked where they even got my number from. They just kept talking right over me, so in the end, I had to block the number.

I tried ringing back a number that called me earlier, but it just said the number isn’t valid or doesn’t exist or something like that. Weird because I definitely missed the call from that same number.
