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.

Just got back from a week away and spotted a message on my answerphone from this number. The caller said they were from HMRC and threatened legal consequences if I didn’t get back to them right away. The voice was really weird, almost robotic, making it tough to catch everything they said. They gave a 'department' number as 2031293256, but that doesn’t seem to link to anything real. Oddly, my answerphone showed the call coming from 0161 818 2524. Keep your eyes peeled for this!

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.

Got a call claiming to be from HMRC telling me to ring back on a different number about some legal trouble. They didn’t even know my name, so it could’ve been for anyone in the house! Definitely a scam in my opinion. From what I know, HMRC always send letters, never calls like that. Best to just ignore it.

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!

Got a ring from this number earlier. It was an automated voice pretending to be from HMRC, saying there's some legal action against me and to call back on an extension. They even gave the name Lisa as the agent. I didn’t bother ringing back. If you’re unsure, I’d say contact HMRC directly. Honestly, if it was real, they’d already have all your details and wouldn’t be leaving a voicemail for something this serious. Feels like a total scam to me.

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 got a call from someone with a weird accent, maybe African, mumbling about a car crash I supposedly had not long ago. I told them straight up they're scammers since I never had any accident, and they just cut me off right after. Definitely don't share any details with calls like this.

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 caller had a foreign accent. Right away, he mentioned something about the phone number. I asked him why it was a problem. Seemed like he was just reading off a script because he kept repeating the same thing about the number. I told him we were unlisted and wanted to know where he got our details. Still, he carried on about the number. Told him once more to pay attention, that we’re ex-directory, and repeated my question. Since he clearly couldn’t veer off his script, I just ended the call.

Received a call just after 2pm today, on the 14th. An automated voice left a message on my voicemail, sounding quite menacing and saying they were from HMRC. Oddly, they finished by saying “Have a Blessed day” which seemed weirdly out of place. When I tried to hang up, it kept insisting I “couldn’t say soon” or something like that, very strange. I’m definitely reporting this to the Information Commissioner’s Office and would recommend others do the same if they get a call like this. I knew about these scams already but it still caught me off guard. Someone who’s never heard of it could be really frightened by it!

Got a call just now claiming to be from HMRC, luckily a mate got the same a while back and warned me about the scam with legal threats and all that. If I hadn't been told beforehand, I'd have been totally freaked out. Honestly, these scammers should be put out of action.

My nan got a call at the crack of dawn (12th Sept 2017) from someone saying they were HMRC and threatening legal trouble. It was pretty clear right away it was some dodgy scammer trying to con her out of cash. We’ve passed all the details, including the number, on to the POLICE and also let Age Concern know. Make sure you’re careful with these sorts of calls!

Got a robo call pretending to be from HMRC, sounded proper threatening but honestly felt a bit fake. Such a nasty trick, especially if an older person got it, could really scare them. Happened about 8:55 on the 12th of Sept 2017.

Got a robotic call from this number pretending to be HMRC. They said I had to call back an 020 number urgently or they'd take legal steps against me. I didn’t catch the whole number tho. Dunno which one of us they were after, as there’s four people living in my place.

Got a really scary call from a woman claiming to be an HMRC officer called Lisa Williams. She told me there was a big lawsuit about to happen against me and said I needed to call her straight away on 2080770320 or else I'd face really bad consequences. Obviously, it was just a total scam.
