01618182524 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618182524 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call impersonating HMRC, often delivering threatening automated messages about legal action or lawsuits. Callers use robotic or scripted voices, sometimes providing fake contact numbers and names, aiming to frighten recipients into responding. The calls frequently target households indiscriminately, including elderly individuals, and may also pose as other organisations such as BT or falsely claim winnings. Many users report silence, hang-ups upon answer, or pressure tactics demanding urgent callbacks. The calls are widely acknowledged as fraudulent, with genuine HMRC correspondence typically arriving by letter, not phone. Recipients are advised not to engage, to report the number to relevant authorities like Action Fraud or the ICO, and to block the number to prevent further nuisance.

Returned from a one-week vacation today and found a voicemail on my answering machine from this particular number. Similar to other callers, they alleged to be HMRC and mentioned something about taking legal action if I didn't respond promptly. Interestingly, the female caller had a mechanical tone to her voice, making it challenging to comprehend at times. She provided her "department" number as 2031293256, which seems irrelevant. However, my answering machine identified the call as originating from 0161 818 2524. Caution advised?

Hey, I got one of those messages saying HMRC are gonna take legal action right away, and they gave a phone number to ring. I went ahead and reported it to the ICO, marked it as a Nuisance Call. Their site’s pretty easy to use, only took me a few minutes tops. Honestly, everyone should report these cos I don’t get why BT isn’t forced to track these calls and stop ’em for good.

I received a call from the HMRC, who requested me to call back on a different number. They claimed that a legal action was being taken against me, but they failed to mention my name specifically, so it appears that anyone in my household could be involved. However, it's important to point out that this is most likely a scam. I would advise ignoring it, as the HMRC typically communicates through written letters rather than phone calls, according to my previous encounters with them.

Yeh, it’s those same Pakistani scammers pretending to be HMRC. They’ve got quite a few numbers they’re calling from. It’s mad how they all seem to be getting frantic at once, like they’re in a hurry to escape or something. Proper dodgy lot, honestly.

Got a voicemail saying it was from HMRC, warning me about some court case against me and that I'd face big trouble if I didn't get back to them. Sounded really dodgy.

So I've been getting calls from someone saying they're Lisa Reynolds at HMRC, always threatening me with legal action if I don't call back. It’s become nearly twice a week now. I’ve emailed HMRC to let them know and asked what I should do, but it feels like there’s no way to stop these idiots. Really frustrating!

I recently received a call from this particular number. However, it wasn't a person on the other end but rather an automated message claiming to be from HMRC, stating that there is a lawsuit against me. The message also provided an extension number and the name of an agent called Lisa. I didn't call back, but I would advise anyone who is uncertain about the authenticity of the call to contact HMRC directly. Personally, I believe it is a scam. If the claims were true, HMRC would likely communicate through official letters, which would include my personal details. It seems highly unlikely that they would rely on an automated message for such an important matter.

This number rang me up earlier about some PPI thing. The guy sounded like he was Asian or something. I told him straight away I’ve never had PPI and I’m not interested. I warned him to quit calling or else I’d report him to the police. Didn’t even wait for a reply, just put the phone down. They’re total scammers and not getting a penny or any info from me, no way! Ha!

I received an unmistakable fraudulent phone call today. I could hear a muffled accent on the other end, possibly African, asking me about a car accident I supposedly had recently. I promptly told them that they were blatantly attempting to deceive me since I hadn't been involved in any accident; and as soon as I said that, they abruptly ended the call. It's crucial not to disclose any personal information when confronted with such phone scams.

Just like others have mentioned about this number, I also got a recorded message threatening me with some kind of lawsuit. I actually received two calls today - the first one came from a Bermuda number, then another with the same recording but from a Manchester area code. Honestly, I just told them to buzz off.

The man I spoke to appeared to be from another country. He began by mentioning something about our telephone number. Curious, I asked what the issue was with it. It seemed like he was reading from a prepared script, as he began again about the number. I informed him that we were ex-directory and questioned how he managed to obtain our number. Once again, he repeated his spiel about the number. Frustrated, I asked him to listen and reiterated that we were ex-directory, demanding an explanation as to how he got our number. However, since it seemed that he could not stray from his scripted lines, I decided to terminate the call.

I received a phone call today at 2:02 PM. An automated message was left on my answering machine, and it was quite threatening, claiming to be from HMRC. What stood out was the caller's unexpected sign-off of "Have a Blessed day!" They kept prolonging the call, repeatedly saying "so on". I am going to report this to the Information Commissioner, and I recommend that anyone who receives a similar call does the same by reporting it to the authorities. Although I had heard about this scam making the rounds, it still came as a shock when I personally experienced it. It has the potential to frighten someone completely unaware of such scams!

I recently received a telephone call from someone claiming to be HMRC. Luckily, a friend of mine had received a similar call a few weeks ago, where they were threatened with legal action. Thanks to my friend's warning, I was aware of what was happening. Nevertheless, if I hadn't been informed about this scam, it would have terrified me. People like these scammers really need to be stopped.

Earlier this morning (September 12th, 2017), my elderly aunt received a phone call from someone claiming to be from HMRC. However, it was quite clear that it was an attempt by a malicious caller to scam money from unsuspecting individuals. In response to this, we reported the incident, including the caller's info and number, to the police and Age Concern. It is important to be cautious and remain vigilant against such fraudulent activities.

On the morning of 12th September 2017 at around 08:55, I received an automated phone call purportedly from HMRC. The message conveyed was rather menacing, although not particularly persuasive. It is truly appalling how these individuals choose to conduct themselves, especially considering the potential fear it could cause among the elderly or vulnerable individuals.
