01618505786 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618505786 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call number impersonating HMRC, targeting mainly elderly and vulnerable individuals with threatening automated messages about legal action or lawsuits. Callers use aggressive tactics, often asking recipients to press a key to speak to a 'case officer' who then attempts to extract personal details such as National Insurance numbers. The messages are consistently identified as fraudulent, causing stress and alarm, especially among older people. Users strongly advise ignoring the calls, not to press any options, and report the number to authorities. BT and other providers are urged to take action against these nuisance calls. Genuine HMRC communications would never be so aggressive or demand information in this manner over the phone.

Everyday I get calls from what seems like a new firm each time, always the same annoying routine. It’s just not right to bother someone who’s seriously ill like this. I honestly don’t have the strength to deal with it all the time. Honestly, these callers must be mental or something.

I received a phone call today, the 14th of November, 2016, with a message stating that HMRC is initiating legal proceedings against me and instructed me to press 1 to speak to a case worker. A mate of mine suggested I give them a ring, and she calmed my nerves by saying it’s likely just a scam.

Another one of those dodgy Oriental gentleman clubs from the West ringing up about folks long gone and buried, trying to grab cash that’s long since turned to dust.

Earlier today, around 5:47 PM, my mother got another one of those pesky calls on her home phone. Strangely, it felt all too familiar, as she had received a similar one just over a month ago. Both calls were recorded messages claiming that the HMRC was initiating legal action against her. She ended up hanging up both times, and I could see she was quite anxious and distressed when she confided in me. Fortunately, this website helped me clear things up for her, and I’m grateful for the peace of mind it brought us both.

Got a call saying it was from HMRC about some lawsuit they said was pending. They told me to press one to chat with a case officer. When I asked the guy, who said his name was Roger Williams but sounded like he wasn’t a native English speaker, which department he was from, he just ended the call! Honestly, don’t pick up if you get a call like this!

I’ve received a rather curious message purporting that HMRC is initiating a legal action in my name. Now, the only HMRC I’m familiar with is the Hamilton Model Railway Club. The voice on the line was distinctly male, with a posh English accent, and he instructed me to “press 1 to return the call.” Quite baffling, to say the least!

I just received a voicemail from someone claiming to be HMRC, stating they're launching a "lawsuit" against me. They urged me to press 1 to connect with my case officer. Honestly, it’s a total fraud! HMRC would never initiate something so serious via a phone call. If there were any issues, they’d send an official letter first, and certainly wouldn't jump straight into legal action without discussing it first.

Got a message from 01618505786 - an automated one claiming to be from HRMC saying they were taking legal action against me and to press 0 to talk to my case officer. I ignored it, but then rang back the number just to check. It was a pre-recorded message with an Indian woman's voice asking me to leave a message, so I hung up immediately. This kind of scam would really scare older people or anyone vulnerable. BT really needs to crack down on these scammers using UK landline numbers. I've reported this number to the BT ABUSE website.

I rang them back just to see what was going on, and the person on the other end actually said "HMRC" right away (big shock, sounded like an Indian bloke). He wanted to know if he was speaking to "X", I told him yes (though he was asking for a woman, which isn't me!). When he asked for my NI number, I asked why he needed it, and then at that point he just hung up on me. I don't get how these scams even work or where they get paid from doing this kinda stuff?

Got a call from 01618505786 but I didn’t pick up since I didn’t know who it was. They left a message on my answerphone saying HMRC were taking legal action against me and to call back to talk to the officer handling it. Sounds like one of those scams meant to scare older folks. I’ve heard HMRC have been warning everyone about these kind of calls so just be careful and don’t get tricked.

Yesterday I got a similar message and out of curiosity I pressed 1. The bloke who answered said his name was Brad Thompson and then asked me for my national insurance number. I didn't give it to him, of course, and he just hung up straight away. After that, I contacted HMRC using their official number to report it. They told me to submit the details through their website. Fingers crossed they or the police track this down and take action, especially since the phone number is one that can be identified.

The caller claimed to be from HMRC, warning that legal proceedings were imminent, and urged us to press 1 for more information.

Today, my elderly friend, who's 72, received a rather alarming call from this number. The caller claimed to be from HMRC and insisted that they had been trying to reach her regarding something quite pressing. In her flustered state, they asked for her National Insurance number, and sadly, she ended up providing it due to her anxiety. They then informed her to remain on the line as an officer by the name of Jones would be coming on to speak with her. In a state of panic, she decided to ring me on her mobile while keeping the landline call active. When they returned to her, they picked up on my voice through her phone and immediately inquired about who I was. She mentioned I was just a friend, to which they awkwardly claimed they had accessed the wrong file and apologised for any inconvenience. I urged her to gather their name and contact details, but before she could, they hung up.
