01618508162 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618508162 👆 is reported as a persistent scam predominantly involving automated calls falsely claiming to be from HMRC, warning of pending lawsuits for unpaid taxes and urging recipients to press a number to speak to a "case officer." Callers often disconnect if pressed for information or after the recipient complies, and the messages employ intimidating tactics. Many victims, including vulnerable and elderly individuals, find the calls distressing. The scam frequently uses multiple similar numbers, leaving no legitimate contact and promoting fear to extract personal data or financial details. Genuine HMRC correspondence is by letter, never via unsolicited calls demanding immediate action. Recipients are advised not to engage, avoid pressing any numbers, block these numbers, and report such calls to authorities to help curb this fraudulent activity.
Reports on phone number 01618508162
2 yearsSomeone called saying they were doing a survey about my life insurance. When I asked which company it was for, they didn’t say. I just ended the call. I’ve blocked the number and reported it now.5 yearsThey said they work with Legal and General and tried to sell me a better life insurance deal. I wasn’t interested, so I just blocked the number.Legal and General6 yearsThey ring me every single day around the same time but I’ve never picked up.6 yearsClaimed they offered legal services - I told them I wasn’t in any crash and they just ended the call. Total scams.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC.HMRC7 yearsSomeone said they were from ‘National Debt Solutions’ and kept asking about my unsecured debts, trying to convince me to take a government-supported IVA. I didn’t give them anything and they just hung up when they couldn’t get the info.National Debt Solutions8 yearsHas anyone else had a call from 0161 008 1284? They rang me and as soon as I picked up, they just dropped the call within a couple seconds. Kinda strange behaviour.8 yearsThey've been calling me nonstop for days. I kept ignoring them. Finally picked up just now and they ended the call straight away. What muppets!!8 yearsGot a call from 0161 850778 with the same old spiel about HMRC taking legal action against me and to press 1 to talk to my case handler. Immediately got suspicious 'cause (a) my number's ex directory and HMRC wouldn’t have it (b) ‘Lawsuit’ sounds very American and (c) why would any government agency leave a voicemail about court stuff instead of sending a letter? I ended the call right after they said press 1 to chat with my case officer.HMRC8 years0161 850 8162 is a scam, best not to pick up and just block it straight away.8 yearsGot a recorded call from the tax office saying there's a legal case, and to press 1 to talk to someone about it.HMRC8 yearsHad a couple of calls from this number, one yesterday and another on Monday. Didn't bother to answer.8 yearsTotal scam, rubbish.8 yearsIn this day and age, with all the advancements in technology, it seems only logical that we should be able to track down the source of these calls and bring an end to them for good, wouldn't you agree?8 yearsMe too. Got a couple of voicemail warns about some HMRC legal action. Like 3 messages in two days. Is there a way to block calls on a landline?HMRC8 yearsPhoned my partners elderly mum, told her that HMRC were takin legal action against her (funny, cos the real HMRC wouldn't say it like that or call to warn you like this) and said she should hit 1 to talk to someone about it. Total scam.HMRC8 yearsJust as others have mentioned, I had a call from this number too. When I dialled it back, it turned out to be unrecognised, making me realise it was likely a scam. Upon returning home from a spot of shopping, I encountered some extremely upset neighbours, both in their nineties, who informed me that this number had tried to reach them. They had called ‘1’, as instructed, but got no response. I reassured them it was just a scam and eventually managed to soothe their worries. The police later confirmed they’d received reports of numerous similar calls that day. It’s quite alarming how they seem to be preying on the elderly, which is utterly disgraceful. It would be great to see these scammers identified and dealt with posthaste.8 yearsI've had the same number call me three times today-it's quite alarming, especially for those who might feel a bit more exposed. I do wonder why BT can't just block that number altogether.BT8 yearsGot called three times by this number today. It was an automated message with a woman’s voice saying HMRC is taking legal action against me and to press 1 to talk to a caseworker. I hung up straight away every time. Sent an email to HMRC since they’ve got a phishing scam going around and I want them to know about this.HMRC8 yearsI've had three calls from this number since the 6th of October. I can't help but worry that senior citizens or those in precarious situations might unwittingly press 1 as they're told. It's a troubling thought that this could result in a staggering phone bill. I sincerely hope that the individuals behind this scam face justice and end up behind bars.8 yearsI've received calls from this number a couple of times today. Clearly a scam.8 yearsGot a recorded message saying it was HMRC threatening legal action over unpaid tax, asked me to press 1 to talk to my caseworker - clear scam but they’ve called me twice today already - could easily scare older or vulnerable folks.HMRC8 yearsJust like a lot of the others, got calls sayin there’s some lawsuit against me. Been gettin these calls for weeks now.8 yearsIf you get a call from 01618508162, please be careful and report it. They say they’re from HMRC but it’s obviously a scam! Don’t trust them!HMRC8 yearsGot one of those automated calls again saying HMRC are suing me and to press 1 to speak to my "Case Manager". Of course, I didn’t press anything - doubt that would end well on my phone bill. These are just some of the loads of similar calls I get, some show a number, others don’t. Already reported it to the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office).HMRCInformation Commissioner ' s OfficeICO8 yearsJust a couple of minutes ago, I received an automated call claiming to be from HMRC. I pressed one to call back, but they promptly disconnected the line.HMRC8 yearsIf you're brave enough, feel free to come and have a go! Honestly, what a pile of tax-exempt nonsense, with a lovely dash of VAT on top. Do they really believe I'm gullible enough to fall for this? X8 yearsI received a rather dodgy call claiming that there was a lawsuit filed against me. Strangely enough, they didn't mention any specifics or even provide a name. Instead, they urged me to hit '1' to speak directly with my so-called police officer. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!8 yearsGot calls from people pretending to be HMRC not once, but twice today.HMRC8 yearsRinging me every 3 hours with an automated voice claiming HMRC is suing me. It tells you to press 1. TOTAL SCAM, BE CAREFUL!HMRC8 yearsGot another call from these fraudsters today!! They really need to be taken to court!8 yearsGot a second call today too, another one claiming to be from HMRC. The moment they say they’re from HMRC, you just know it’s dodgy. When’s the last time HMRC actually phoned you? Exactly, never.HMRC8 yearsGot a message at 12:38 about some lawsuit against me or whatever. I'm so over these scam calls!! Why isn’t anything being done about this? It’s just pure fraud!!8 yearsSame old automated voice saying HMRC is suing me, then telling you to press 1 to speak to your "Case Manager". Didn't bother pressing 1 since I’m pretty sure it would jack up my phone bill. Got loads of calls like this, some showing a number, others not. I’ve reported these to the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) already.HMRCInformation CommissionerOffice8 yearsReceived a dodgy call purporting to be from HMRC. It happened twice in a couple of hours!HMRC8 yearsGot another call from someone pretending to be HMRC, this time straight to my voicemail. I’ve been registered with the TPS for ages, but it honestly seems to make no difference with these fraudsters. I always keep my answering machine on, but there’s never a message left. These calls are beyond annoying and I’m seriously thinking about ditching my phone altogether, feels like it’s just nonstop. I’m completely done with it all. The only ones who must be happy about this are the phone companies!HMRCTelephone Preference Service8 yearsI had a phone call today purporting to be from HM Revenue and Customs.HM Revenue and Customs8 yearsHad another call from them today, really starting to annoy me. It’s about time someone did something to put a stop to these calls.8 yearsGot a recorded call pretending to be from HMRC claiming there's some lawsuit against me and asking me to press 1 to talk to my case officer. I'm not even a taxpayer but know how HMRC works so I just hung up straight away. HMRC will NEVER phone you, they always write, so these scammers really need to be put to an end - it’s so upsetting for older and vulnerable folks.HMRC8 years0161 850 8162 - Don't freak out!! This is a nasty effort to intentionally frighten and upset vulnerable people. It's not just a scam, it’s downright criminal. Sadly, this kind of personal invasion is something we all have to deal with these days.8 yearsGot loads of calls from this and other 0161 numbers over the past couple days. Really think something needs to be done to block them.8 yearsBeen getting loads of calls off this 0161 number and others like it over the past couple of days. Seriously, someone needs to do sumthin about it.8 yearsGot a call from 01618508162 saying he was from HMRC. His English was awful and he said he was Officer Stephen Cooper, asking for my NI number. When I asked what the lawsuit was regarding, he just hung up. This is really dodgy and could be harmful to elderly or vulnerable folks.HMRCStephen Cooper8 yearsGot a voicemail from someone claiming to be HMRC saying they’re taking legal action. Seriously??!! Not even a letter or email first? I was so stressed I pressed "1" to try and talk to someone, but then it just said "Sorry, there's a problem." Bit worried I might’ve accidentally triggered something... When you first hear it, you think it’s a load of nonsense, but it still makes you anxious till you remember to calm down. Looks like they’re busy with this scam, so I might report it somewhere - but who exactly do you tell?HMRC8 yearsJust like others have said, this can be really worrying for some folks. Isn’t there anything HMRC can do about it?HMRC8 yearsI've received two calls informing me that HMRC intends to take me to court. They said to press 1 if I want to talk to the officer handling my case.HMRC8 yearsBeyond the quest for global harmony, I say we annihilate it!8 yearsSame here about that HMRC legal notice. Totally a con. Government folks rarely work on weekends anyway ;).HMRC8 yearsThey claimed to be from HMRC - I pretended to be interested and gave fake details to find out what they wanted - turns out they ask for a bank transfer - TOTAL SCAM, really risky and needs to be stopped straight away.HMRC8 yearsIs there any chance someone could sue this company for what they’re doing?8 yearsGot a voicemail from @[email protected] today.8 yearsI received a dodgy call earlier today, it was a pre-recorded message informing me that the HMRC has allegedly launched legal action against me, although they didn’t bother to mention my name. They instructed me to press 1 to get in touch with a so-called case officer, but I decided to just hang up instead. Total nonsense!HMRC8 yearsThis number rang my missus and it turned out to be a total scam. Dodgy lot!8 yearsGot a recorded message from a woman, just like loads of others mentioned on here, claiming to be from HMRC. She said there’s some legal action against me and told me to press 1 to talk to my “case officer,” which I reckon connects to a premium rate line. This was the second one today and I’m sure loads of folks, especially elderly people, might get scared and actually ring the number they give.HMRC8 yearsGot a voicemail saying HMRC was suing me. Had almost same call last year, rang HMRC who told me they wouldn’t call about this, they’d write a letter instead. This is my second spam call today and it’s not even lunchtime! Been on the TPS list for ages too.HMRCTelephone Preference Service8 yearsLooks like these scam calls are goin' off non-stop today, same as others mentioned. It's Saturday too, when you'd think most folks are just chillin' at home. Got a recorded message sayin' HMRC's takin' me to court and to get in touch with some case officer.HMRC8 yearsReported it to HMRC same as all the others. These calls are really scary and could cause serious worry for vulnerable folks. Someone needs to put an end to this.HM Revenue and Customs8 years01618508162 called me twice in just a couple of hours. Definitely one of those HMRC scam calls.HMRC8 yearsGot a recorded call about some tax lawsuit. They rang me twice and left messages. Totally looks like a scam but it’s pretty worrying, especially since I’m retired.8 yearsI got a call just like everyone else, with a recorded voice saying HMRC is taking me to court (didn't say any names) and to press 1 to talk to someone about the case. I just hung up straight away.HMRC8 yearsApparently it’s the tax people calling. I’ve had loads of these calls and it’s really getting annoying. Something needs to be done about it.8 yearsUtterly fraudulent number, avoid it at all costs.8 years01618508162 left a recorded voicemail saying something about HMRC and a lawsuit against me.HMRC8 yearsIt's pretty much the same as what others have pointed out before. I can't help but think that the phone companies could easily track down and discontinue these numbers. While many of us recognise it as a scam, it's certainly unsettling for the more vulnerable, especially the elderly.8 yearsJust received a rather unsettling call earlier today. Something to do with a lawsuit, or so they claimed? It’s quite alarming to receive a phone call like that, even if it’s being recorded. It gives one an awful sense of being under scrutiny in your own space. It’s a dreadful feeling to think you might be in someone’s crosshairs right from the comfort of your home.8 yearsGot a recorded voice saying it’s HMRC and to press one to talk to my case officer. Been getting the same message for several days now.HMRC8 yearsAbsolutely a dodgy operation! I've seen identical remarks from others. I received a call on my mobile just an hour ago, and when I picked up, the person on the line claimed to be from HMRC before abruptly ending the call. This has now happened two days in a row!HMRC8 yearsJust like with loads of others, I took a call from this number tonight, and then later found a voicemail from them that was left earlier today.8 yearsIs this from hmrc or what?HMRC8 yearsLoads of complaints in just one day! Imagine how many calls they’ve done that didn’t even get mentioned here. Surely the phone companies are aware of this and should be held accountable for letting it happen.8 yearsHad a phone call today that mentioned some sort of legal action being taken against me!8 years01613624062 left me a voicemail saying HMRC was suing me. Yeah, right! I double checked everything with HMRC and it’s complete nonsense. Proper dodgy and worrying SCAM.HMRC8 yearsGot a voicemail from HMRC saying ive got a lawsuit for unpaid taxes. It asked me to press 1 to talk to my case officer. This is a total scam, HMRC wouldnt call you like that. Dont press any buttons, just end the call.HMRC8 yearsReceived a call from this number with the identical automated message saying, "Press 1 to talk to your case officer." I'm well over 70 but still working and pretty sharp. Messages like this can really worry older folks though. They really need to be stopped!8 yearsGot a couple of calls from this number claiming to be from HMRC, saying there's a legal case against me and to press 1 to chat with an officer. Didn’t pick up, just let the message play out.HMRC8 yearsGot a call from 01618508162 a moment ago. I’m on the TPS list and my number’s ex-directory.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsI’ve got call barring on, so no voice message left - got two calls from them just twenty mins apart this morning. Anyone know if there’s somewhere I can report this?8 yearsJust received a message from this number claiming that HMRC is suing me. What absolute nonsense!HMRC8 yearsrang me twice today, what a rubbish attempt at a con, these muppets deserve to be thrown in jail!8 yearsGot a dodgy text pretending to be from HMRC. Someone who’s easily worried could really freak out about messages like this!HMRC8 yearsI recently received a call aimed at my elderly family members, making some rather severe threats about legal action. It’s absolutely baffling how someone can stoop so low as to intimidate others in this manner. Upon investigating the number, I discovered it was indeed a scam.8 yearsSaid they were from HMRC! I didnt press 1 because I know HMRC never call like that - I work as a Tax manager myself.HMRC8 yearsHad a ring earlier today from 0161 850 8162, some automated message claiming to be from HMRC. It said I was under investigation for tax evasion and to press 1 to talk to someone. I pressed it and got a bloke with a pretty strong Asian accent, sounded like he was from a call centre in India or somewhere. He asked my name and went on about a lawsuit for unpaid taxes or something along those lines. Felt dodgy straight away, so I just hung up.HMRCBombay8 yearsReceived a rather dodgy call myself from the same number - a rather posh female voice that came across as rather robotic. We've taken the precaution of blocking that number. Earlier today, we also blocked the number 01202501746, as it delivered the identical script, down to the very last word. Best advice? Don’t bother answering. HMRC wouldn’t handle matters in such a manner. While I’m no specialist, it stands to reason that they would send a letter through the post instead.HMRC8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be hmrc saying there’s a legal case against me and I need to contact them asap! Honestly, why don’t the phone companies just block these fraudsters, they must be getting loads of complaints already???HMRC8 yearsGot a call from this number, pressed 1 to get through to my caseworker. They asked for my name, and I told them straight up this is a scam and to stop calling me.8 yearsI've just had another dodgy message come through. Honestly, those numbers ought to be cut off, and all billing related to them should be wiped clean. But I suppose the telecom companies aren’t inclined to do anything about it-money talks, doesn’t it?8 yearsI've received calls from this number twice within just a few days! After reaching out to the genuine HMRC and their fraud division, I've been informed that it’s a colossal scam designed to instil fear. Please make sure to report it!HMRC8 yearsMy number’s unlisted. Got a voicemail saying HMRC are taking legal action against me. They told me to press 1 to talk to my case officer!!! Didn’t do it though. Watch out.HMRC8 yearsSaid they were from HMRC and talked about a lawsuit that’s supposedly waiting on me.HMRC8 yearsI didn’t pick up since I was outside in the garden, but strangely my phone and answerphone stopped working when I came back inside. I have no idea what was going on but it looked like someone had attempted to cut the line. Eventually I got it sorted by taking out the batteries and putting them back in. Pretty clear scam cos when others answered they said it was someone from HMRC. No chance HMRC would call me about money owed as I receive a pension from them and even got a refund recently. My husband actually used to be one of their senior officers.HMRC8 yearsThey really ought to bring legal action against these con artists.8 yearsGot called by this number loads of times. Best just to ignore it. They're not to be trusted.8 yearscalls non stop wiv robotic message about hmrc stuffHMRC8 yearsThey claimed to be HMRC and mentioned ‘taking legal action’ against me. It was a voicemail. If HMRC were after me, a) they’d send a letter, not call, and b) they wouldn’t use the term ‘legal action’, sounds more American. Total scam, steer clear.HMRC8 yearsReceived a voicemail claiming that HMRC is pursuing legal action against me and urging me to press 1 to chat with my case officer. Total scam!HMRC8 yearsReceived a call today claiming there was a pending court matter and asking if I'd like to chat with a case officer. I tend to let calls ring through first so I can filter them out, and it turns out this was definitely a dodgy call.8 yearsI've received a call from someone purporting to be from HMRC, warning me that legal action is imminent. It's an absolute con, without a doubt!HMRC8 yearsGot a voicemail sayin HMRC’s takin me to court. Press 1 to chat with the case officer. I’m on the ex directory. Best to just ignore it!HMRC8 yearsI received a voicemail indicating that legal action is being pursued against me, and it instructed me to contact the designated case officer.Submit Your Own Report (0161 850 8162)
