Phone number ☎️ 01618503986 👆 is reported as a scam originating calls impersonating HMRC, often targeting elderly individuals with threatening messages about supposed legal action or unpaid taxes.

Multiple reports note that these calls cause distress, especially among older people. Authorities have confirmed these are fraudulent, and it is advised not to engage or return such calls.

Reports on phone number 01618503986
10 yearsOn the 2nd of December, my elderly neighbour, who’s 75, answered a call from this number. There was an automated voice, so she just hung up. Later, a voicemail was left claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs, saying she had a High Court writ against her and had to call straight away. Thankfully, she spotted it was a con, but I worry about how many older folks might fall for it.HMRCHigh Court10 yearsGot a voicemail from this number saying HMRC were going to take me to court. Ha! I decided to look up the number online and, surprise surprise, it’s a scam. Who’d have thought? I’ve pretty much stopped picking up calls from unknown numbers now. To be honest, on the landline, it’s usually just my elderly aunts ringing me, so if it’s a random call, it’s probably some PPI nonsense or a scammer. It’s a shame BT doesn’t have a way to block numbers like this outright.HMRCBT10 yearsThis number kept ringing and making threats about court to an elderly lady aged 84. She was really shaken up, and it all felt like pure harassment.10 yearsThis morning, I got a phone call from this number here in Southsea.Southsea10 yearsEarly this morning around 8:45, I got a recorded message saying that HM Revenue and Customs were taking legal action against me and told me to press 1 to find out more. I just hung up straight away. This was on the 29th of November, 2016.10 yearsToday my mother in law got a call where someone threatened to come to her house in 30 minutes to arrest her over some unpaid tax. The police later told us this is just a scam. It’s horrible how these scammers scared her, and I worry they’ll keep at it since some folks might fall for it. The police know about it and are trying to catch those responsible. When I rang back and asked to speak to a manager, the guy couldn’t connect me and then just hung up on me.10 yearsSomebody called me pretending to be HMRC TAX REVENUE, can you believe that?HMRCSubmit Your Own Report (0161 850 3986)
