Phone number ☎️ 01618188917 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance linked to various scams, including aggressive HMRC impersonation calls threatening legal action for alleged tax issues and dubious PPI refund schemes requiring payment via gift cards. Callers often use Manchester area codes but may claim different locations, employ confusing or threatening messages with poor English or unusual accents, and frequently change numbers slightly to evade blocks. Users strongly advise not to answer or return calls, blocking all variations, as these are widely recognised scams attempting to extract money or personal details. Official advice is to ignore, report, and block these numbers, as legitimate organisations like HMRC do not use such tactics or demand payment in this manner. Vigilance and caution are essential when receiving calls from these numbers.

6 yearsThis number has been hassling me nonstop for a few days now. I usually just block it, but today I gave it a ring back. Some bloke with an Indian accent answered but wouldn’t say who he was or why he was calling unless I told him my details - not a chance I was giving that out! Plus, he sounded like he was driving or something. Weird thing is, he said he wasn’t from Manchester even though the call showed as a Manchester number on my phone!Manchester6 yearsPretty sure this is just another scam. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number!6 yearsI usually just ignore these calls, so not sure what they're about. This number and others that are only slightly different have rung me loads of times a day recently, so I’m pretty certain it’s some sort of scam.6 yearsThis is the 8th time I've ignored and blocked a call from a Manchester number. I bet they’ve got loads more, maybe hundreds. It’s crazy that these pests can’t be traced and stopped. Even better, why not just find them, share their info, and let everyone handle it!!Manchester6 yearsGot calls from basically the same number like 7 times now, only the last two digits change and they seem to be going up one by one. No matter what, NEVER pick up when these call!6 yearsblocked em, these scams keep switchin numbers like 4 times this week, blocked every single one now6 yearsFor the last week, I've been getting calls daily from a Manchester area code, but the number changes a bit each time. I dont pick up numbers I dont know, I just look them up later on. Turns out theyre all linked to this one number and all flagged here as scams or dodgy calls. I block every number, but tomorrow theres a new one ringing. Proper annoying!Manchester6 yearsIdiots, honestly.6 years01618188917 - Same here, I keep blocking them and it actually makes me kinda happy knowing it’s wasting their time and money.6 yearsI've had loads of calls from a number that's only one digit off from this one. Every time I block it, another number pops up calling me.6 yearsSome woman left a voicemail mentioning security or something, but she talked way too quick for me to understand, so I just ended up deleting it.6 yearsTurning into quite the bother, aren't they?6 yearsThis number keeps ringing, says its from Manchester but it’s obviously a scam. It’s best to just BLOCK and ignore, dont pick up or respond!Manchester8 yearsGot a call from 01622 370 396 saying it was HMRC and an Officer Dennis Green warned me about legal trouble if I didn’t sort things out quickly. Definitely a scam, make sure you block this number!Dennis GreenHMRC8 yearsHey, got the exact message from the same person but a different number this time 02921 287275, looks like it’s from Cardiff. Just a heads up!Cardiff8 yearsTotally a scam! Someone claiming to be James Anderson from HMRC called me. They said they’re taking me to court and that a warrant was gonna be issued against me.James AndersonHMRC8 yearsI got the exact same call and it sounded really threatening!!! Thanks loads for sharing that it’s a scam cos I wasn’t too sure about it myself.8 yearsI received a rather dubious call from an individual claiming to be James Anderson from HMRC, stating that there’s an outstanding warrant for my unpaid taxes. They asked me to return the call, but it's evident that no genuine HMRC official would operate in such a manner, especially considering that I have no tax liabilities whatsoever. Quite suspicious, to say the least!James AndersonHMRC8 yearsI've received several calls from this number, each time insisting it’s crucial for me to return the call promptly as it’s the TAX OFFICE wanting a word with me. In the end, I just opted to erase the message!8 yearsJust got a weird call from this number, left a strange message that sounded kinda robotic or like it was voice altered, saying something about a tax avoidance issue from HMRC.HMRC8 yearsYeah, I got a voicemail too. The person sounded like a weird blend of American and Indian accent. Complete nonsense. If HMRC were after you, they’d send a letter, not a dodgy call. The guy mentioned a ‘COMPLAINT IN MY NAME’ but never bothered to say my actual name, which was pretty laughable. Plus, we don’t live in America and we don’t call the court a ‘Courthouse’. Make sure you keep your wits about you.HMRCStates8 yearsGot the exact same rubbish call from some Indian scammers claiming to be from the 'courthouse', telling me I’m guilty of tax evasion or something daft like that lol.8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they’re from HMRC saying I owe tax, total scam. It was one of those robotic messages left on my voicemail. This isn’t the first time either; had a similar call from a different number before and I blocked it. Seems like they keep changing the numbers to try and get through. They really should do more to track these down and put an end to it.HMRC8 yearsI've had several calls from this number, insisting it's urgent that I return their call post-haste, as the tax office wants to have a word with me...8 yearsHad a bloke ring me earlier pretending to be from HMRC about my tax, saying something about tax evasion and unpaid bills. It’s weird cause this guy, who’s clearly a total FRAUD, doesn’t know anything about me at all. Don’t even bother replying to his texts. Just block him and forget about it!!! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!HMRC8 yearsHad the exact same thing happen. Some guy named James with an American accent said he was from HMRC and that my name was on a tax avoidance list. Very dodgy.JamesHMRC8 yearsLoads of HMRC scam calls lately! I block them whenever I can but they just keep switching numbers. Really grateful to everyone leaving comments here, it’s been a big help since they’re always so rough and scary on the phone!HMRC8 yearsThis number's definitely dodgy.8 yearsGot a call from someone called James Sanderson, sounded like a Black American bloke. Said he was from HMRC and was threatening me with court action. These calls are really scary. Anyone know how to report this?James SandersonHMRC8 yearsGot a dodgy text pretending to be from HMRC. Ignored it completely.HMRC8 yearsGot a call from someone who obviously isn’t local, claiming I’m dodging taxes and threatening court action unless I call them back. How daft do they reckon we all are?8 yearsSome bloke claimed to be from HMRC, saying there's a complaint against me for tax evasion. It seemed like a voicemail message because even when I cut him off and told him I knew it was a scam, he just carried on with his spiel. I really don’t get why BT haven’t blocked this number yet?HMRCBT8 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from HMRC, told me I was going straight to the "courthouse" for not paying tax. Now they’ve blocked me, total SCAMMERS!!!HMRC8 yearsGot a voicemail saying it was from HMRC and that a lawyer would be in touch soon. Just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.HMRC8 yearsGot a call from some scammers claiming to be from HMRC. Just ignore them, block the number and report it straight away.HMRC8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're Officer Dennis Green? They said it was about an urgent HMRC issue and even threatened to get a solicitor involved. Total scam, don’t fall for it!Dennis GreenHMRC8 yearsWatch out for this number!!! Got a voicemail saying that the moment you get this msg, you have to ring back HM Revenue and Customs and speak to Constable Dennis Grey. They said if you don’t reply or our lawyer isn’t contacted, we’ll face serious trouble. What a load of rubbish. What nonsense are they gonna come up with next? Seriously!!! Definitely a SCAM. This number keeps calling with that exact message, so we’ve blocked it.HM RevenueCustomsDennis Grey8 yearsthis has to be a scam. i told south yorkshire police and they agreed. wouldnt trust anything coming from this number at all.South Yorkshire8 yearsGot a voicemail saying it was from HMRC, saying I must ring them straight away! Totally dodgy.HMRC8 yearsSome bloke rang me up with a weird accent, said I had a really nice smooth voice and asked if I fancied having a boyfriend. Then he started saying some rubbish. I hung up, but he kept ringing me back. I told him I was recording the call for the cops (which I wasn’t really). Despite that, he kept calling over and over. Not sure if I should report this to the phone company or the police. Just a heads up, be careful!9 yearsThis seemed really sketchy, felt like they were trying some sneaky trick to get my details and then use it for a scam, WATCH OUT!9 yearsPick up the call, say your bit, and then cut the line.9 yearsSome bloke called saying I had a PPI claim worth £7855 and that a solicitor called Alan Harper was coming over with a cheque. Nobody showed up though, and I never gave out any of my personal or financial info on purpose, so fingers crossed I'm all good. The number he called from was 0161 8188917, but when I tried calling it back, it just went straight to silence.QuyAlan HarperSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 8917)
