01618509387 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618509387 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving automated calls falsely claiming to be from HM Revenue & Customs concerning pending legal action or lawsuits. Callers use threatening or aggressive tactics, often demanding personal details or urging victims to press a number to speak to a “case officer.” The scam frequently targets vulnerable individuals, including the elderly, causing distress. Genuine HMRC does not initiate contact by phone regarding legal matters and communicates official business via letters. The callers use various local numbers and sometimes foreign accents, making the scam harder to block. Recipients are advised not to respond or provide information, to report the calls to HMRC, and to remain vigilant against these fraudulent attempts.

Got two missed calls from 01618509387 on my landline earlier. Both voicemails said some rubbish about legal action and told me to press 1 to talk to my case officer, but they never said who they were or what the case was about. Bit sketchy if you ask me. I've blocked the number now. Same story others have mentioned here.

Absolute joke of a call from these muppets with zero clue. Got this dodgy recorded voice saying something about “HMRC taking legal steps, press whatever to chat with your case officer”. First off, HMRC don’t ring you up before court - they just send letters and get on with it. Also, why on earth would you ring back to argue with the prosecution? That makes no sense at all. Honestly, I reckon these idiots have one brain cell between them, possibly borrowed from some pond scum or something. Complete waste of time and airwaves, pure scam rubbish.

WARNING! Got a call from someone saying they were from HMRC and threatening legal action against me. They kept asking for my date of birth, and I told them they should already have it. When I repeated that, the caller got really shouty. I just said "You called me, so you ought to know my details," and then they suddenly disconnected.

01618509387 - Got a call claiming to be from HMRC saying I was about to face a lawsuit and to press any key to keep going. Naturally, I pressed, and a bloke with an Indian accent asked for my personal info. I asked him who exactly he was after and for the HMRC reference number since he said he was calling a workplace. He instantly turned nasty and said he’d send the lawsuit to the office then just cut off. These scammers must think we’re daft or something.

I got calls from them at least 3 or 4 times, always the same old tax office nonsense about some lawsuit they've filed against me. Honestly, these scam calls need to be stopped, you'd think with today's tech it wouldn't be so hard. BT really should do something about it and stop faffing about. This kinda rubbish really kicked off after privatisation, it's just not on!

I just got a call from 01618509387 - it was one of those automated messages pretending to be from HMRC saying there’s a legal case against me and asking me to press 1 to talk to an accounts advisor. Honestly, it’s obvious a genuine HMRC rep wouldn’t leave voicemail like that, so I knew straight away it was a scam. Definitely best to just block and ignore them. I’ve also informed everyone in my office, especially the finance team, and added the number to our phone’s blacklist labelled ‘Scam caller, do not answer’.

My dad got a call saying he owed £1400 from way back in 1992. They told him to pop down to Argos and put the money on some kind of card. Luckily, he didn’t fall for it and went straight to the coppers. They said it was a scam, but I can’t help wondering if the police can track down these landline numbers? My dad’s pretty sharp and still almost got fooled. Just a heads up to everyone - HMRC don’t ring people up like that!

Luckily, my husband and my coworkers were really supportive, or I dunno how I’d have coped. Still, it’d be great if HMRC actually returned the extra tax they say I owe!

Like others have said, I keep getting this automated call telling me it’s HMRC and they’re suing me, press 1 to speak to your case officer. Don’t fall for it, HMRC never ring you up, they always write letters first. Also, you don’t know where the call comes from or if pressing 1 will charge you loads or go abroad. This scam has called me about five times in the last week. I just let it go to voicemail, then delete it. Think I’ll pick up next time and then block the number using 1572, just to be safe.

I've received a barrage of automated calls from this number, ringing me 3 or 4 times-twice just today! They're going on about a supposed lawsuit hanging over my head and insist I press one to chat with a case officer. Quite frankly, I'm not falling for that. I've now taken to simply ignoring them and wiping the messages they leave. It’s concerning how these sorts of calls could really ruffle someone’s feathers, so I reckon it's high time they got reported.

I've been getting calls every day from this number claiming to be HMRC. Today I answered and pressed 1 as instructed, then spoke to some so-called "case worker."

I recently received a rather intriguing call featuring a recorded message purportedly from HM Revenue and Customs. Naturally, I felt compelled to engage, so I pressed one. An Asian gentleman then greeted me and asked for my name. My response? I simply asked him to disclose his name first. He introduced himself as Steve-quite amusing, really, as I insisted it couldn’t possibly be true. His reaction was quite unexpected; he resorted to some rather colourful language and made some rather unpleasant comments about my family. I reckon I might just give them a bell to inform them they are being looked into by the authorities!

They said I’m going to court, and they’ll freeze my bank account, plus take my house, car, and shares, accusing me of money laundering. They told me if I pay £1,387 within a week of receiving their letter, it’s sorted, but court would cost me £46,000. I just told them to bring it on and immediately called my bank and HMRC. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

I received a recorded message purporting to be from HMRC. I sensed something was off since HMRC typically communicates via letter rather than over the phone. The message prompted me to press 1 to connect with my 'case officer'-goodness knows what kind of trouble that could have caused! MLL

If someone claims to be from HM Revenue and Customs and mentions information from long ago, be sure to verify with your local tax office. I foolishly disclosed my National Insurance number.

Today I got a call from this number, and it turned out to be a complete scam. The caller claimed that "HMRC is taking legal action against you," and all sorts of nonsense. I've already sent an email to HMRC to let them know about it. If you happen to get a call from them too, I’d advise you do the same and email HMRC. Their contact is [email protected]. Make sure to mention what the scammer said, when you received the call, the phone number they called you on, and the caller’s number. Stay safe!

I told them straight away HMRC never phones like that and asked if they really thought I was daft. Sounds like a scammer who deserves to be behind bars. I thought about pressing 1 just to see what would happen but since my phone and internet share the same line, I worried it might risk my online banking.
