01618501883 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618501883 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from a Manchester-based number, falsely claiming to be HMRC and threatening legal action for unpaid tax. Callers use automated messages urging recipients to press a key to speak to a “case officer,” often targeting elderly or vulnerable individuals and causing significant distress. These calls are widely recognised as fraudulent by HMRC and authorities, with no legitimate tax enforcement conducted this way. Many advise not to engage, press any buttons, or return calls. There is strong public concern about the effectiveness of telecom providers and regulators in preventing these nuisance calls. Victims are encouraged to block the number and report such incidents to Action Fraud or relevant bodies to help combat this criminal activity.

I received a threatening message from a fraudulent individual claiming to be from the HMRC. The message instructed me to press 1 to connect with an advisor, but I knew it was a scam. The person on the other end had a dubious accent, possibly Pakistani or Indian. The whole setup screamed unprofessionalism and lacked transparency. It's unfortunate that these scams target vulnerable elderly people. There must be severe consequences in place for these scammers.

Got a call today around lunch from the number 01618501883. It was an automated voice claiming to be from HMRC, saying I’m being sued and should press 1 to talk to my case officer. I instantly knew it was dodgy and checked this site to be sure. I wonder how many folks, especially older ones, get tricked by these scams? I’ve blocked the number myself, but surely if HMRC or other groups know about this, BT or the phone providers should step in and block or shut down these numbers to protect people from these scams.

I've received three identical phone calls today, all of which were automated voices. My daughter informed me that it was a scam. I can't understand why BT doesn't take any action against this. They always claim they can't do anything if the call is international or there's no number on display. However, this call came from a genuine Manchester number, so BT should definitely step up and address this issue before someone gets hurt.

Just like others, I recently received a phone call with an automated message claiming to be from HMRC. They stated that they were looking to contact me as there was a lawsuit being filed against me. This caused me quite a fright, especially as I am currently in the process of resolving a minor payroll matter. The fact that I am in my 70s makes me believe that they are specifically targeting older individuals. It wouldn't shock me if their actions actually lead to someone having a heart attack in the near future.

Why do these individuals find it beneficial to inform senior citizens about a lawsuit concerning unpaid taxes? I have received several of these calls, but at the age of 85, although I may be a little slow, I am not foolish. I simply hang up on them. My pension is insufficient to require me to pay any taxes at all. It's best not to engage with them in conversation. Follow my lead and promptly end the call!

Today, I received a call from this particular number. It was an automated service claiming to be from HMRC, informing me that they will take legal action against me for unpaid tax. Curious about the situation, I pressed 1 to speak to an advisor; however, when they answered and confirmed my name, I immediately asked for an explanation. Unfortunately, instead of providing clarity, the person unleashed a barrage of abusive language, calling me derogatory names and using offensive swear words three times. I decided to abruptly end the call by hanging up. Intrigued, I checked the number using the 1471 service and attempted to call back to confront them and inform them that I would report their behavior to the police. However, as soon as someone answered the phone, they immediately hung up upon hearing my voice. Rest assured, I have taken the responsible step of reporting this incident to the police. This kind of behaviour is absolutely shocking!

It is apparent that this is a clear attempt at a scam. I didn't recognize the number, so I let it go to voicemail. The message began with the statement that a lawsuit has been initiated by HMRC, but abruptly ended without further details.

Got a call and a voicemail saying "Marcie has a lawsuit on you, press 1 to talk to your case manager." Completely ridiculous and quite nasty, really worrying especially for those who might be more vulnerable.

I received a call today at 5:37 PM informing me that HMRC was taking legal action against me. This isn't the first time I've received such a call. Interestingly, they even identified themselves as "HMRC" when answering the phone. It's quite disconcerting to encounter this sort of scam. I immediately ended the call as soon as I questioned why I would have any outstanding debts...

My 75-year-old dad, who has a bad heart, just got a call that really shook him up, especially when they started talking about taking him to court. I quickly told him it was a scam. These folks are total scumbags.

This is totally a scam, for sure. Just like others have said, BT should be blocking these calls. They claim to be from HMRC but they're lying. Best thing is not to answer or chat with them. Make sure you report it to BT or whichever service you use for your phone.

Twice in one week now, I've had calls from numbers almost identical except the last four digits were different. I'm registered with TPS and use BT Protect, yet these calls still sneak past. Like many others, it was an HMRC scam. I didn’t pick up but they did leave a voicemail. Feels useless to block since they just switch numbers constantly! Really grateful for websites like this though, where people can post about these scams and keep others informed!

This morning my 90-year-old mum got two calls from someone pretending to be HMRC, threatening legal action and telling her to press '1' to speak to a caseworker. Totally a scam! Good thing she rang me back instead of doing what they told her.
