Reports on phone number 01618509281
6 monthsKept getting calls that just went dead as soon as I picked up, nobody speaking on the line.8 yearsIt's quite concerning and rather frustrating, I must say. I've tried ringing this number a couple of times now, only to be met with the same recorded message about a fault on the line. When I attempt to call the number with a zero added at the front, I end up being directed to 03001232040. I can't shake the feeling that this might be some sort of scam associated with the police in the UK.UK8 yearsGot a call saying there's a case against me and they wanted me to get in touch with my case worker.8 yearsDodgy call! I got a voicemail saying I should ring some case handler about a legal claim from HMRC against me. The number given was 01618509281. Obviously sounded fishy to me.HMRC8 yearsGot a voicemail on the 13th of September 2018 from a woman with an American-sounding accent. She said some sort of lawsuit had been put on my name and told me to ring back at 1618509281 to talk to someone about my case. I just deleted it straight away since it sounded like a total scam.8 yearsBeware, total SCAM! HMRC would never contact you like this. Best just to ignore it altogether.HMRCBest8 yearsGot a voicemail from a lady who sounded American claiming she was from HMRC and mentioned there's some legal action against us. After seeing what others have said, I’m just gonna ignore and delete it.HMRC8 yearsJust like loads of others have said, I got one of those recorded calls claiming it was HMRC and that there was a legal case against us. Luckily, I caught the call before it got to my elderly folks. When I called back the number they left, 0161 850 9281, but from my own phone, the same bloke picked up. He sounded to me like he had an Asian accent.HMRC8 yearsLike loads of others here, I got a call from a lady with an American accent, but the number looked fake - probably generated by a computer. She told me to call my case officer on 161850281, but I quickly spotted they left out the zero you normally get in UK numbers (+44(0)), which means it must be from overseas. Sounded like a scam to me, so obviously I didn’t bother calling back!UK8 yearsGot a voicemail from some older woman claiming to be the police, told me to ring 1618509281. Definitely a SCAM.8 yearsMy elderly mother received a rather alarming message on her answering machine, claiming that there was some sort of warrant against her and urging her to get in touch with her parole officer using the number provided. It was quite upsetting for her, as you can imagine. I’ve told her to disregard the whole thing.8 yearsI got a call from 1618509281 saying I was being sued or something. What a load of rubbish, total idiots!8 yearsHello there! I received a rather similar call recently. The caller claimed that there was a lawsuit initiated against me. It rang through both my landline and my mobile. They urged me to return the call and speak with my so-called case officer. This comes on the heels of receiving a speeding fine from my last trip to Germany. As soon as I got back, the car rental company got in touch, and now I'm inundated with these bizarre calls. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this?Germany8 yearsI received a tip-off that a legal case has been filed in my name, and they urged me to ring this number to chat with a case officer. The call came from 01242448191.8 yearsAnnoying call, really irritating.8 yearsGot a call with a dodgy recorded message saying I needed to contact my case officer about some evidence linked to me, using this same number. Definitely not from any real UK official body. It’s a really cruel scam that could seriously scare vulnerable folks. Quite nasty, if you ask me.UK8 yearsScam alert! They pretend to be from HMRC but it's a trick. Just ignore and don’t ring them back!HMRC8 yearsI just let it ring till it went to voicemail. The message seemed like it was already recorded. A woman with a kind of faint American accent repeated the number to ring back a couple times. Not gonna call back, no chance.8 yearsI received a rather unsettling automated call, complete with an American accent, which informed me that there was legal action taken against my name. It prompted me to either contact my case officer directly or to leave a voicemail at the number provided. Quite alarming, to say the least!8 yearsGot a voicemail from someone speaking with an American accent, saying they were my case worker and asked me to ring back this number. No way I’m returning that call.8 yearsOn 22nd August 2018, we got a voicemail accusing us of being part of a lawsuit. When I tried calling the number back, no one picked up, but soon after, someone rang us asking for our personal info. The call came from a really noisy place, with loads of shouting in the background. Definitely a scam to watch out for. Stay clear of 01618509281.8 yearsGot a voicemail on my grandma's phone about a lawsuit pending against her, asking her to ring this number. When someone answered, it was a foreign-sounding lady who wasn’t clear at all.

Sounded pretty dodgy to me. There was this automated voice with a kind of mid-Atlantic accent. We just recorded the call and decided to give it a miss. Definitely looks like one of those scams.8 yearsGot the same call again, tried calling back but no luck. Feels like just another scam, and looks like it’s coming from somewhere overseas.8 yearsI got a call from this number sayin there was a lawsuit against me, sounded all automated and had this weird middle-of-the-road accent.
