Phone number ☎️ 01618508612 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving automated calls falsely claiming to be from HMRC, threatening legal action and arrest warrants. Callers typically urge recipients to press a number to speak to a case officer, aiming to extract personal and financial details. The calls are aggressive, often frightening vulnerable individuals including elderly people and those with health issues. Numerous victims have confirmed the scam, advising others to ignore, block the number, and not engage.

6 yearsNever bothers to leave a message even after I specifically ask them to.8 yearsDodgy call, totally a scam.8 yearsToday I got a call warning me that court action was about to begin against me and to press 1 if I wanted more info. I hung up straight away since I only got this number a fortnight ago and couldn’t imagine anyone would have it yet.8 yearsTotal scam, calling saying HMRC are taking legal steps. I've blocked this number straight away.HMRC8 yearsI had the same thing happen, 5 calls all in one day. They said there was a warrant out for me or something. Didn’t pick up any of them. Let it go to voicemail every single time. Thankfully, it only happened that once day and hasn’t come back since. My advice? Don’t bother answering. Still hoping they don’t show up to drag me off or whatever. Utter scamps, those lot. Proper scamps.8 yearsGot a call earlier today from 01618507292, they told me to press 1 if I wanted to speak to a case manager or something. Felt a bit dodgy to me.8 yearsSome bloke rang on Tuesday 21st August in the evening, saying we had scammed HMRC.HMRC8 yearsGot a call earlier today that proper freaked me out! Some bloke telling me there's a warrant for my arrest and saying he was from HMRC, claiming I owed loads of money. He even knew my name, address and National Insurance number. I just hung up straight away and only then did I twig it was a scam. Honestly, I was really shaken up!HMRCNational Insurance8 yearsI called the number back and left a message, but then they rang me again asking for my details. They wouldn’t tell me their name. When I asked to speak to their supervisor, they said I’d have to wait for the police to arrest me first. All this was supposedly from HMRC. Honestly, just ignore it - I’m still waiting for that arrest!HMRC8 yearsGot a recorded voice saying they were from HMRC. Totally fake and a really nasty scam, watch out!HMRC8 yearsI got this scary voicemail saying HMRC is taking legal action against me, and it told me to press 1 to speak to my case officer. Seeing the comments here really helped calm me down.HMRC8 yearsGot a call saying there was some legal action against me and to press 1 to speak with the case worker. I got a bit worried but decided not to press anything.9 yearsThey claim to be HMRC but clearly arent, loads of American words in their talks. Keep calling, like others have said. These con artists are nothing but trouble.HMRC9 yearsI got a voicemail saying HMRC is taking legal action against me and there’s an arrest warrant out - it told me to press 1 to talk to the officer handling the case. It really freaked me out and gave me a big rush of adrenaline that was quite scary.HMRC9 yearsWe've been getting calls these past couple of days telling us that HMR has put out a warrant for our arrest over unpaid taxes.HMRC9 yearsThey been ringing my work every day lately, proper annoying and sketchy. Dont get duped by this scam, its not safe at all.9 yearsGot two calls from this number on 16th April. I told Sussex Police about it and they said it's a scam. The person on the phone was trying to get my bank info.Sussex Police9 yearsHeard the voicemail dropped today, exactly the same story as loads of others - HMRC's supposedly taking me to court and there's a warrant out for my arrest. Proper scary stuff, even if you know it’s just a scam. Obviously didn’t press 1 to chat with my “case officer”! Honestly, what’s the point of the TPS if it doesn't block these kinds of calls?HMRCTelephone Preference Service9 yearsTotal scam. They claim there’s a court case and arrest warrant through HMRC against us. BEST THING IS TO JUST DISCONNECT.HMRC9 yearsHMRC scams are really bad. Can’t believe some scumbags do this stuff. They should be put away for good and never let out!HMRC9 yearsHMRC? NOT A CHANCE!!! TOTAL PRICKS. SCAMMERS AND IDIOTS. BLOCK THE NUMBER AND IGNORE. REPORTED THEM TO OFCOM ALREADY.HMRCOfcom9 yearsHMRC will NEVER ring you up without first sending a letter through the post in a brown envelope. Best thing to do is just hang up straight away. I saw a comment last week suggesting folks should get a really loud whistle and blow it right in the scammers ear - supposedly that'll make them think twice before calling again. The cheeky scammers deserve a good shock!HMRC9 yearsGot a robo call from a bloke with a computer voice saying HMRC’s got a warrant to nick me!HMRC9 yearsI just got a call from this number with a recorded bloke telling me to press 1. I ended the call straight away.9 yearsSCAM alert! Got a voicemail from a posh bloke saying there’s a warrant for my arrest. He told me to press 1 to talk to a case officer from HMRC.

I pressed 1, but the line was all crackly and when I said hello, no one replied. HMRC never contacts people like that, they dont do calls this way. Honestly, whoever’s behind this should be stopped.HMRC9 yearsTurns out there's a warrant out for my arrest or something.9 yearsBlimey, I can hear the police helicopters getting closer as I write this! Fair play, I guess I do owe HMRC a fortune for all those monopoly cash rents I collected without paying up. They’re smashing my door in as I type. If this is the last you hear from me, please let my family know I…9 yearsGot a call from this number today. There was a recorded message with a bloke saying he was from HMRC and claimed they had a warrant for my arrest. He told me to press 1 to talk to my case officer. I didn’t press anything straight away since I knew HMRC wouldn’t ring like that. I can imagine it might scare some folk who aren’t as wary.HMRC9 yearsI’m really shaken up because I’m quite vulnerable, and this call totally freaked me out. I ended up ringing BT to let them know what happened. They're sending me a new phone which should block these kinds of numbers. It honestly makes me suspicious, like maybe these companies are sharing our info just so we end up buying their latest gadgets.BT9 yearsI just got the exact same call earlier.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier claiming there's a warrant for my arrest. They asked me to verify my info, so I gave them my name and birthday. They even knew my address and postcode, which freaked me out a bit, but when they started asking for additional personal stuff, I just ended the call. Feels like a scam to me, but I bet a lot of people might actually believe it. Really wish something was done to stop these calls.9 yearsLike loads of others have said, just steer clear of this nasty scam.9 yearsYesterday at 5.47pm, a fella called my brother who’s only 17 and struggles with mental health issues, saying HMRC are taking legal action against him. When I rang back the 0471 number, they told me to call 01618508612. I did, and a man’s recorded voice asked my brother to press 1 to give his info. This really upset him. I’m thinking of getting him a phone that displays caller ID so we can avoid this stress.HMRC9 yearsGot a call at 6pm on the 16th of April 2018. Left a scary voicemail saying HMRC had put out an arrest warrant. I just let my answerphone pick it up like I always do with numbers I don't know. You'd think these folks could find proper work somewhere.HMRC9 yearsGot a call from someone sayin they were from HMRC, they rang my mother in law who's 77 and scared her silly by saying she had an arrest warrant. She was proper shook up. Reading the other comments, looks like this happens to loads of people. This kind of thing is terrifying, especially for older folks. Please, don’t pick up if you get this call - it’s definitely a scam!!!HMRC9 yearsnot great, any idea why?9 yearsLooks like a scam, I wouldn’t trust it at all. If this number rings you, just ignore and block it straight away.9 yearsGot calls from these folks claiming to be HMRC, saying there’s a warrant out for me. Complete scam. Don’t share any details with them. Fingers crossed they don’t actually catch me and send me off to Australia!HMRCAustralia9 yearsJust got a call like that and honestly, it was pretty scary. I don’t get how these people are even still permitted to do this stuff!9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HMRC saying they put a warrant out and to call them back. Total nonsense (HMRC never does that kinda thing) but they keep calling non-stop, like every couple of hours. Super annoying!HMRC9 yearsWatch out, it's a HMRC scam!!!HMRC9 yearsPlease don't respond to this number-it's an absolute con! HMRC won't simply ring you; they'll follow up with a letter as well. This number is definitely a scam. All you get on the other end is a voicemail asking for your name and number. Whatever you do, don't provide any information; that only aids their dubious activities. I had a chat with one of these scammers and made up a fictitious company along with some nonsense details, and they swallowed it entirely. It's infuriating! In the end, I told them to shove off!HMRC9 yearstotal scam, avoid hitting one at all costs9 yearsGot a scary call from someone saying there’s a warrant out for me and to press 1 to talk to my case officer. These calls are awful. Good job I can look stuff up online to see that it’s just a scam. I’ve had these kinds of calls before, but what about elderly folks who may not be able to check and might get really scared? It’s so wrong. Something really needs to be done about this.HMRC9 yearsIts a scam from HMRC, better not pick up.HMRC9 yearsToday my husband got a couple of automated phone calls claiming to be from HMRC, warning that if we didn’t press 1 to respond, the police would be involved. Then another one called saying something about a solicitor and an arrest warrant. We haven’t responded to any of them. Just now, I received a third call telling me to press 1 to talk to a case officer. Funny thing is, the number showed up with a local 0161 code but also flagged as international. Since when does the Inland Revenue ring from overseas? It’s proper scary. I’m thinking of reaching out to the fraud squad once I’m back from walking the dog. I heard somewhere that foreign firms are buying UK phone numbers to make it look like the calls come from here. The pre-recorded voice sounded so odd, like someone mashed together bits of speech rather than a real person talking.HMRC9 yearsWatch out if you get a call from this number, it’s a robot that never calls you by your real name and claims HMRC have put a warrant out for your arrest. It tells you to ‘press one to speak to your case officer’. Definitely don’t do what it says!HMRC9 yearsGot a call from 1012 today, and the fraudline gave me a heads up.Fraudline9 yearsThis morning I got a call from this number saying there’s a lawsuit against me. At first I was really worried, but after reading the comments here, I’m just going to ignore and delete it.9 yearsI got caught up in this HMRC scam as well, it totally spoiled the end of my holiday before I spotted it was fake. It’s really worrying, especially for folks who might be more vulnerable. (Lancashire)HMRCLancashire9 yearsTwice yesterday I got calls from this number, with some recorded message about HMRC and that I supposedly have a warrant for my arrest. I let it go to voicemail both times and then just deleted the messages. Honestly, I don’t get how numbers like this keep being allowed to ring people up. It’s annoying and feels like a scam.HMRC9 yearsI honestly don’t know how people can stoop even lower than this. Calling the person behind this scam a “human” feels like a compliment, honestly. If they’re somehow checking out these comments, assuming they can actually read, that is. So if you’re out there, able to read this and still manage to breathe, I want to first say well done for that, but also ask you to seriously consider doing the world a favour and follow the Darwinian rule, because you’re honestly no benefit to society or humanity in any way.9 yearsThey rang my elderly folks three times and coz their hearing aint great they got really worried they’d messed up somehow. The call sounded proper threatening. Please dont call again, just end it.9 yearsI wouldn’t pick up that number, it’s definitely a scam and they sounded really rude when I answered.9 yearsIn East Sussex, this number has been popped up in a scam pretending to be from the tax office. Best to just give it a miss.East Sussex9 yearsSo far, I’ve had 3 calls from this number saying there's a warrant out for my arrest. Funny thing is, it started right after I submitted an online application to HMRC for the Marriage Allowance!HMRCMarriage Allowance9 yearshmrc calling, say press 1 for info... total muppets!HMRC9 yearsI reckon this phone number should be looked into, it might really upset vulnerable folks.9 yearsCan someone tell me who this is? They're such a bother!9 yearsGot a robo call saying HMRC had launched legal action against me and there’s a warrant for my arrest; told me to press 1 to talk to a Case Officer. This has happened twice today. Obviously a scam, but I can see how it would scare loads of people who answer the phone.HMRC9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be HMRC - total scam, obviously fake, but I worry some folks might fall for it.HMRC9 yearsJust received a pre-recorded call claiming that HMRC have launched legal action against me and a warrant has been issued for my arrest. It urged me to press 1 to chat with a Case Officer. Definitely a fraudulent scheme, yet I can imagine how unsettling this will be for those unsuspecting individuals who answer.HMRC9 yearsLooks like a classic HMRC scam call to me.HMRC9 yearsGot a call from HMRC saying I have a warrant out for my arrest.HMRC9 yearsSo annoyed by these scammers pretending to be from HMRC! Our local neighbourhood watch even put out a warning about them. The weird thing is, they use a UK area code - does that mean they're allowed to carry on like this? It doesn’t make sense at all!HMRCUK9 yearsGot two calls from this number today, both had a recorded message acting like it was HMRC. Since it's a UK number, why hasn't anyone blocked it yet?HMRCUK9 yearsHad a call from someone saying they were from HMRC, got the same call both yesterday and today.HM Revenue and Customs9 yearsI got a call earlier saying they were from HMRC, threatening me with prosecution over tax evasion. Complete rubbish if you ask me.HMRC9 yearsGot a recorded call saying HMRC have taken legal action against me and there’s a warrant out for my arrest; press 1 to talk to your case officer. This is the second time today I’ve had this. Obviously a scam, but it’ll scare loads of people who answer.HMRC9 yearsGot this call two times already. Pretty sure it’s a scam, but what’s the point really? Just some dweeb trying to freak people out. Honestly, just a couple of sad losers who think they’re all smart or something.9 yearsDefinitely a HMRC scam, watch out!HMRC9 yearsSomebody claiming to be from HMRX said there was an arrest warrant for me, but I think it was just foreigners trying to scam.HMRX9 yearsGot calls both yesterday and today supposedly from HMRC saying there’s a warrant for my arrest. Totally fake, don’t fall for it!HMRC9 yearsIt was obvious it was a scam, especially with it saying it was from HMRC.9 yearsHMRC scam, total fraud!HMRC9 yearsThis is the second time today I've got a call from this scammer in Manchester. I've reported it to the police but honestly, I don't really expect them to do much about it.Manchester9 yearsI received a recorded call purporting to be from HMRC, ominously warning of an arrest warrant if I didn’t press option one. Upon doing so, the individual continued to assert they were indeed from HMRC. When I requested a verification number to call them back, the line was filled with crackling noises and disruption. Just a heads up-be cautious!HMRC9 yearsThis number called me claiming I was gonna be arrested. It’s definitely a scam and should be reported to the fraud police for them to look into it.9 yearsGot a message supposedly from HMRC saying I’d get an arrest warrant if I didn’t press option 1. When I did, the person kept claiming they were from HMRC. I asked for a reference number so I could ring them back, but then all I heard was static and weird noises. Be careful, this sounds dodgy!HMRC9 yearsSCAM ALERT! Got an automated call claiming to be from HMRC warning about a lawsuit and arrest. Received it twice today. I just hung up but could really cause someone serious stress. Such awful people. Make sure to report them!HMRC9 yearsGot a call from these lot today and before as well.

If it was an arrest thing, they’d have got in touch loads more times first. 100% a scam, watch out!HMRC9 yearsI got a recorded call claiming to be from HMRC saying there's a warrant out for my arrest! I’m certain it’s a scam but it still freaked me out a bit.

Looking forward to meeting the riot cops, not!9 yearsI'm an older person but not daft, just got this text saying I'm gonna be arrested by HMRC. Honestly, it's about time the govt departments took action to stop this kind of harrassment towards vulnerable folks! With govt budget cuts and fewer cops, it’s no wonder this stuff keeps happening.HMRC9 yearsI just don’t get how with all the tech we have these days, the people in charge still can’t manage to stop these scammers. It’s really frustrating.9 yearsProper pushy scammer pretending to be HMRC.HMRC9 yearsGot a recorded call claiming to be from HMRC, super irritating and might really stress some folks out.
