01618506065 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618506065 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls targeting people with fake claims from companies like O2, domestic appliance insurance, and HMRC. Callers often use fake British accents and names, pressuring recipients for personal details or payments, including requests for gift cards. Automated messages threaten legal action to create urgency and fear, especially affecting older or vulnerable individuals. The number frequently changes but is linked to various fraudulent schemes. Recipients are advised to hang up immediately, never provide personal details, and block the number. Engaging the scammers wastes their time and helps protect others. Official organisations like HMRC do not operate in this aggressive or automated manner, so such calls should always be treated with extreme caution.

3 yearsWon't stop ringing me.3 yearsClassic scam call from overseas.4 yearsThe phone calls switch up all the time, with new numbers and excuses, but I can always spot when it’s someone Indian trying to do a dodgy American accent - you can still hear the Indian tone underneath, it’s quite amusing. They always pick some English name like Paul Smith too, like they think I’m daft enough to believe it!IndiaPaul Smith4 yearsNo way, got them blacklisted!4 yearsGot a phone call from someone who was obviously trying to hide that they weren’t from around here. She said my appliances’ warranty had run out and needed my card info to sort it. I just told her I live in a caravan, and she went quiet for a bit before saying "oh, okay then…" and suddenly ended the call. Rare to see a scammer at a loss for what to say, haha. Honestly, I never bother with appliance warranties anyway since I buy the cheap gear that I’m not fussed about.4 yearsJust got one of those dodgy calls about insurance for household appliances - classic scam stuff.4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from Domestic Appliance, asking if I was a particular person. I didn’t really respond with a yes or no. Instead, I asked what the call was about. He told me the warranties on my white goods had expired. That’s rubbish though, coz I’ve just renewed all of them recently!4 yearsBeware, they try to push fake home appliance cover that’s just a con.4 yearsScrolling through the comments here, seems this number gets used for all sorts of scams. I picked up once and an Indian bloke told me my cooker, washing machine, and freezer warranties were about to expire. I told him they weren't near expiry. He insisted they were. I told him they actually ended years ago. He then repeated that it was exactly what I’d said. I told him not to twist my words. When I said I wasn’t giving any info or signing up for anything on the phone, he just hung up straight away.4 yearsGot one of those dodgy calls about insuring my appliances. I just kept them on the phone, pretending to be interested and gave them made-up bank details. Ended up chewing 14 minutes off their clock. Honestly, if they’re stuck chatting with me, that’s less time for them to bother someone who might actually fall for it. If you get a call like that, try to hang about and waste their minutes too!4 yearsBeware of this so-called Home Appliance Insurance scam, it’s just another trick to get your money.4 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone saying they were with domestic appliance insurance. They said I could get 35% off because I hadn’t made any claims yet, and that they’d post the details to me. But then they gave me an address that I haven’t lived at for almost a decade! I told them I wasn’t interested and that it felt like a total scam 😡 Watch out, seems like they’ve brought back this number just to trick people again 😡😡😡8 yearsOn the 30th of November, 2018, I got this really threatening recorded call claiming that HMRC had been trying to reach me and were about to open a case against me. The moment the voice said 'press 1', I quickly ended the call. It’s awful because this sort of thing could seriously frighten someone who’s on their own or in a weak spot. Really vile behaviour. I'm on the Telephone Preference Service, so how did they even get my number? From someone near Bournemouth, but I won’t give my name.HMRCXDRBournemouth9 yearsGot a call from some so-called Inland Revenue audit thing, asked me to hit "One" to speak to my caseworker. Totally a load of rubbish! Classic $cammer from $cam Town, trying to take the mickey over the phone!!!Inland RevenueScamville9 yearsgot a call from this number earlier today, claiming to be hmrc and threatening legal action. they told me to press 1 to talk to some case worker. i just ended the call and blocked the number straight away. i can imagine how upsetting this must be for older folk living alone to get calls like that.HMRC9 yearsGot a scam call recently, so I cross-checked with HMRC using the phone number printed on official documents I have from them. They made it clear they never leave voicemail messages with detailed info, only their standard 0345 contact number for you to ring back. They also warned that around the end of the tax year, these scams ramp up big time. Best advice is to ignore any calls like that, since the return number's often a premium line which can charge you loads. Plus, they might record your voice and use it to hack into accounts secured by voice recognition. Stay safe!HMRC9 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming they're starting an investigation about my taxes today.9 yearsGot a voicemail earlier claiming there was a lawsuit being filed against me! Strange and pretty worrying, not sure what it's about.9 yearsI got a voicemail from someone claiming to be from HMRC, saying I was being taken to court. I know HMRC doesn't get in touch like that at all, so it was definitely a scam.HMRC9 yearsKeeps ringing non-stop but I dont pick up. Pretty sure its one of those spam calls, because HMRC certainly wouldnt be calling like that.HMRC9 yearsI got a call from 01618506065 on the 15th of March 2018, about 11.57am, someone pretending to be HMRC telling me they were taking legal action against me. They left a voicemail but I never bothered to call them back.HMRC9 yearsGot a ring from someone claiming to be HMRC today telling me there was a legal case against me and to press one to talk to my case officer. I just ended the call. I bet this stuff could seriously scare an old person living by themselves.HMRC9 yearsHad two calls back to back earlier today with some automated voice about HMRC. Lucky my mum, who's quite old, wasn't the one to pick up!HMRC9 yearsHad a call on my phone earlier today.9 yearsThe same thing’s happening to me, they’re threatening to take me to court and said I’m blacklisted now.9 yearsPretty much the same story as the last one I saw - a woman called, said she was Lisa Scott from HM Revenue and Customs, using my landline. She started talking about some legal action over unpaid tax from years ago and asked for my National Insurance number to confirm the case. There was loads of noise in the background, which set off alarm bells in my head - surely a government agency wouldn’t ring like that? I ended the call and dialled 1471 to check the number. Honestly, it left me feeling really uneasy, quite intimidating.Lisa ScottNational Insurance9 yearsGot two calls today, both had an automated voice claiming to be from HMRC saying I was being sued. They told me to press 1 to talk to the case handler. I just ended the call straight away.HMRC9 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be HMRC, asking me to press 1 to speak to an advisor. Straight away, I was a bit wary since HMRC doesn’t usually get in touch like that. The person knew my name, but messed up my address and there was no postcode at all. That’s when I figured it was a scam and told them so - they just hung up on me. Honestly, how long are we meant to put up with these annoying calls? It’s getting ridiculous now. With all the tech we have, surely there’s a way to block these pests for good. - caller: 01618506065HMRC9 yearsI got a call from a recorded female voice claiming to be HMRC, saying there was some legal action against me and to press QNE to talk to my case officer. Honestly, the best thing to do is just end the call straight away. After that, I told my family to watch out too, since it’s clearly a scam.HMRC9 yearsThey rang me as well, and for sure it was a scam!9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be HMRC and they told me to press 1 to speak to an advisor. It was pretty obvious it was a scam because HMRC never calls like that. Definitely a dodgy call.HMRC9 yearsWe got one of those HMRC scam calls but this time they told my mother-in-law she had to rush to Morrisons and buy ITune cards or she’d be sent to jail. She came over to us all shook up, so I went with her back to her place and tried ringing that number myself. No reply at first, then two minutes later they called her back. After a quick word, I snatched the phone and told the person on the other line to do something really unpleasant!HMRCMorrisons9 yearsGot a call from 0161 850 6065, thought it might be legit but when I rang back the bloke just told me to bugger off. Seems like these are just scamming old folks who might not even know better. Proper nasty behaviour if you ask me.9 yearsMy landline buzzed with a call from this number. The caller claimed I was involved in some legal action and demanded my national insurance details to explain the matter. When I questioned why I hadn’t received any letters, he mentioned three dates in December supposedly linked to the case! Somehow, I felt it was dodgy and refused to hand over my NI number. He kept insisting, “I’m here to help you!” but I just ended the call. Later, I rang up HMRC who confirmed it was a scam.HMRC9 yearsFor the past few days, I've been getting loads of calls on both my mobile and landline from someone claiming to be HMRC. They say there's a warrant out for my arrest and that I owe money from about a decade ago. They keep asking for my National Insurance number and even told me I needed to buy Apple and iTunes gift cards from different shops, saying it was just for personal use. I can't seem to hang up properly, and it’s keeping my phone tied up all the time. Because of this, I haven’t been able to ring my kids or get hold of any friends. It's been really stressful.HMRCAppleiTunes9 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be HMRC, saying I have a lawsuit against me or something. Sounds fishy to me!HMRC9 yearsMy grandad, who’s 87, got a call from someone trying to convince him everything was fine. If I hadn’t been right there with him, he probably would have ended up paying a huge bill because the person on the phone was so pushy and quite rude too.Submit Your Own Report (0161 850 6065)
