01618189298 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618189298 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam targeting individuals in the UK, with callers falsely claiming to be from HMRC or other official bodies. The calls often use automated messages threatening legal action or lawsuits over alleged tax fraud or unpaid taxes, aiming to intimidate recipients into calling back or sharing personal and banking details. Multiple users highlight harassment through repeated calls from similar numbers, attempts to extract sensitive data, and confusion caused by contradictory claims such as owed money or refunds. Victims consistently advise blocking the number swiftly and warn others not to engage, as legitimate authorities like HMRC do not operate using threatening robo-calls. The scam poses significant risks, particularly to vulnerable individuals, and authorities are urged to take stronger action against these fraudulent operators.

I didnt pick up. Got a voicemail with a very robotic voice. It started with what sounded like random digits, like it switched on automaticly before the answering machine kicked in. Then it finished by saying "Thanks for your response. We want to link you to a rep to ask a few questions." Pretty sure its a total scam.

Like what everyone else said, it’s pretty laughable to me too but fingers crossed no one falls for it or gets scared by these calls :(

Total scam. They said they were from HM Revenue & Customs. The really annoying thing is how phone companies just let this rubbish happen, and the cops haven’t got the time or staff to track these scammers. This one didn’t bother masking their number, so why can’t someone figure out which phone company it’s from, who the number’s registered to, and lock them up for a bit? But nah, this is the UK where there’s no tough stance on crime.
