01618505979 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618505979 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number frequently impersonating HM Revenue and Customs, falsely claiming there is an arrest warrant or legal action pending due to unpaid taxes.

The number is linked to repeated harassment, sometimes calling multiple times daily and leaving threatening voicemails. Recipients commonly advise not to engage or press any keys, as these calls are fraudulent and attempts to extract personal information or money. Many have reported the issue to official authorities and blocked the number, but the scams persist with varying caller IDs. Staying vigilant and ignoring such calls is strongly recommended.

Over the past few hours, I've been getting calls from 0165328519 - about four times now. Since I didn't have the number saved and didn't recognise it, I just went ahead and blocked it to stop any more ringing through. About a month back, I got a text saying I might be due a tax refund from HMRC, which seemed suspicious, so I blocked that too. Makes me wonder how far these scammers are willing to go these days. Oh, and I also spotted messages coming from the number 5555, anyone got a clue what that means?

This number showed up as unknown and just rang briefly before hanging up, no voicemail or anything. After reading some of the other comments here, it's clear this could be risky. Since I don't get many calls - no family or anything these days - I usually just let most calls go straight to voicemail. Now I'll definitely look up any number before bothering to call back.

Got calls from this number 4 times in the past few days, saying there's a warrant for my arrest and to hit 1 to talk to my 'Case Worker'. I’m aware it’s a con, but it’s a worry thinking about older folks who might fall for it. Can’t something be done about these scams?

I've received a couple of calls regarding some HMRC matter, claiming there's a warrant out for my arrest. They've even left a voicemail on my answering machine! As a subscriber to the Telephone Preference Service, I thought I was shielded from these sorts of nuisance calls. It's quite frustrating and I'm truly fed up with all these annoying phone calls.

For the past week, this number has been ringing me up daily, sometimes even twice, always with that fake HMRC scam. Last night, they even had the nerve to call at 1:30 in the morning. I've already flagged them to Action Fraud.

Had a few calls from what sounded like HMRC today, this recorded message was quite clever with a posh English accent. They’ve rung me like 4 times, all around 3 in the morning! Honestly, it’s so annoying I’m thinking of just keeping my phone unplugged at night. BT really needs to sort this out, it’s driving me mad.

The number 01618505979 kept calling my elderly mum like 10 times today. They kept pestering her about supposed tax she owed and kept asking for her personal details like name and address. She’s quite frail and not in good health, and now she’s really shaken up. Honestly, it’s awful how they treat older people like that!

I've received three calls from this number today alone, not to mention numerous messages on previous days. At 84 years of age, it's rather distressing to hear threats regarding a supposed arrest warrant from HMRC. It's quite concerning, really.

Got a call from someone claiming to be HMRC, said there was an arrest warrant for me. The lady on the other end wanted me to confirm my identity. When I asked her to tell me her name since they supposedly had a warrant, she said it was a Mr Nicholas. Told her nobody here goes by that name and she quickly hung up. Definitely a scam, best to just ignore it.

Yesterday I got called twice by 02030954775 and ended up blocking it straight away. Seems like they're hopping onto new numbers since I already blocked their old 0161 line. It’s like a never-ending game of cat and mouse - they switch numbers, I block them. But honestly, there’s no sign they’re getting into any trouble for it. Guess this is just how things roll in these modern times.

Got one of those HMRC calls like loads of folks here have had. They’ve rung up a few times and left messages about some arrest warrant supposedly out for me! Funny of them to warn me before they turn up at the door - gives me just enough time to leg it off to Spain or maybe Argentina, somewhere they don’t have extradition. Can't forget to chuck some Imodium in the bag this time around.

When you rang HMRC and they confirmed it was a scam, did you try asking them if there’s anything they’re doing to stop it? This sort of thing is happening all over the place, not just locally.
