01618507456 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618507456 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting individuals, often using an automated message falsely claiming to be from HMRC about legal action or lawsuits. Callers pressure recipients to press a number to speak to a case officer, aiming to extract personal information such as national insurance details. The calls are distressing, especially for the elderly and vulnerable, with some reports of aggressive behaviour and emotional upset. Genuine HMRC correspondence is always written, not by unsolicited calls, and they do not request sensitive information via phone. Users are advised to ignore these calls, never disclose personal data, and report them to Action Fraud and HMRC directly. Phone providers and authorities are urged to take stronger action to curb this deceptive practice.

Had a call from someone saying they were from HMRC out of Cardiff, proper scam that was. I got in touch with Action Fraud here in the UK and they explained these fraudsters can dig up your private info, even from the electoral roll! Honestly, I was shook and worried sick. They said the police would be there within 20 minutes and warned me I could end up doing 3 years inside if I got caught. This all happened up in Northern Ireland. Something really needs to be done about this!

I received an identical message to those mentioned. It genuinely sent a shiver down my spine, especially since I've been in touch with HMRC regarding a tax refund! Thankfully, after just a brief moment of reflection, it dawned on me that they would never reach out in such a manner.

Received a couple of calls from this number, one on the 28th and another just today, the 29th September, here in Tayside, Scotland. I'm a 74-year-old widow, and luckily I didn’t fall for their nonsense. It’s quite frightening, as the automated message claimed they were taking me to court! Definitely going to warn my elderly friends around here about it.

I got a call from this number today, claiming to be from HMRC and threatening court proceedings. They asked me to press 1 to chat with a case manager.

I received a call yesterday claiming that HMRC was pursuing legal action against me. Being nearly 70, I thankfully recognised that HMRC wouldn’t communicate something so serious through a mere recorded message. It's concerning how these sorts of calls can genuinely terrify individuals. They really ought to put a stop to this nonsense!

This morning, I received a call from the number listed above, claiming that HMRC had initiated legal proceedings against me. They instructed me to press 1 to connect with the case officer.

Got a call today, 27th Sep 2016, from the number 01618507456. It was some automated message saying: “This is HMRCustom Excise, we’re taking legal action against you. To speak with a Case Officer, press 1.” Obviously, I didn’t press anything. I’m not getting involved in ridiculous stuff like this over the phone. This has gotta be a scam. Can HMRC do something about this dodgy call centre pretending to be them? It’s a proper misuse of their good name. I got the call here in the West Yorkshire area.

I just had a rather dodgy call from this number, claiming to be HMRC, and they insisted that I owed them a substantial amount. They pressed me to verify my national insurance number and date of birth, which I, rather naively, provided. I had a nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right, so I swiftly ended the call. Now I'm left wondering if, by sharing that information, I've inadvertently put my identity at risk.

A colleague of mine and his partner were contacted by this number, purporting to be from HMRC. They were met with threats of legal action, account freezes, and the like. The extremely impolite and confrontational chap on the other end, who I believe was Indian, insisted that my colleague needed to purchase gift vouchers amounting to over £1500 to settle an alleged tax debt. It’s clearly a scam, yet it caused considerable anxiety for my colleague and his wife.

At about 5.04pm I let it ring, but there was a voicemail on my answerphone. The message said something like "HMRC is taking legal action against you. Press 1 now to talk to your case officer. Cheers." The voice sounded robotic, like it was made by a computer. You could tell from the weird pauses and strange tone. Definitely a scam. The number that showed up looked like it was from Manchester but I’m sure it was faked, probably a VOIP call coming from abroad.

Had two calls this morning before 11 am. I returned the call and ended up speaking to an Asian chap who gave the name of a company based close to the Science Museum in Manchester. It was quite unsettling, especially for older folks, because they spoke in that very official British style and even mimicked the way HMRC says they’ll get in touch on their site. Honestly, feels like a really dodgy tactic from some proper unprincipled people.
