01618505547 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618505547 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call originating from a Manchester area code that uses an automated message claiming HMRC is initiating legal action. Recipients are prompted to press a number to speak with a "case officer," but the call is bogus and designed to scare individuals, particularly vulnerable or elderly people. The fraudulent nature is evident as the message lacks official details and often features poor audio quality or suspicious accents. Many users advise blocking the number immediately and warn against pressing any keys or engaging with the caller. Despite legal restrictions on such scams, these calls continue, causing distress. Authorities and security websites recommend reporting the number but emphasise HMRC does not contact people by phone regarding lawsuits.

My landline got two calls from 01618505547, both times a robotic voice said HMRC was suing me and told me to press 1 to talk to my case officer. Both messages were the same and ended up on my answerphone. This could really upset someone who’s not strong. Definitely block that number!

On 13th October 2018, I was lucky to pick up the phone when my elderly mum’s number was called. A woman with a foreign accent was claiming there was some kind of lawsuit against me. When I asked for her identity, she just hung up. If my poorly mum had answered, it would’ve really upset her. These horrible people need to be stopped from doing this sort of thing.

Had three annoying calls today and the first one ended up on my voicemail. They said something about a cop, but when I tried to hear the message, there was nothing there at all. Kinda sneaky way to avoid leaving any proof for the police. Sounds like someone here was supposed to be getting arrested, but they never said who and I doubt it’s anything real! Still, I reckon this could freak some folks out.

Definitely a scam. They left a voicemail on my elderly parents’ phone, which really worries me. I hope these crooks get found and shut down quickly before they manage to fool anyone else.

Just like the rest, it's one of those pre-recorded claims about a lawsuit. I’ve already forwarded a quick note with the number and when they called to [email protected] so they can keep track.

Yeah right, like HMRC is gonna ring you up on a Sunday morning at 11am and start telling you they’re suing you! What a ridiculous story. Hopefully, nobody falls for this scam rubbish. I just blocked the number straight away.

We’ve had this call two times today already. They never even tell you what it’s about. It seems really risky for people who might not be able to handle it. Does “Who called me” actually pass these on to anyone who can help? What’s going on with GDPR nowadays? Like others have mentioned, this has got to be against the law.

I’ve just gotten a call again from this same number, making it twice now, with the exact same voicemail. Crazy to think about folks who get this and don’t use a site like this - they’d probably believe it’s a legit call. I’m right at the end of the list here, by the way.
