01782401120 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01782401120 👆 is reported as a highly suspicious scam exploiting HMRC tax debt claims, frequently using the name "Advantis" to appear legitimate. Many users receive letters, texts, or calls demanding payment for alleged outstanding tax, often with poor grammar and inconsistent contact details. Genuine HMRC communications usually arrive by stamped letters, and users are advised to verify any claims directly with official HMRC channels. Some have nearly fallen victim, noting the scammers possess personal tax info - raising concerns of insider leaks. Several reports confirm the debt collection company named is legitimate but its details are being misused by fraudsters. It’s crucial to ignore unsolicited requests, never share personal details, and report such incidents to Action Fraud for protection against financial loss and stress.
Reports on phone number 01782401120
6 daysThis is a proper scam, not a genuine company phone number at all. The real HMRC would never claim you owe money like this. I don’t get why the police aren’t shutting this down already - it’s such an obvious and well run scam!HMRC2 monthsI haven’t received any calls from this number, but I’ve gotten quite a few texts claiming I missed a payment on some plan, each with a different reference code. Bit suspicious really.3 monthsI went through almost the same thing with an old HMRC debt that I totally forgot about, probably because I’d just moved house. They sent me a letter initially, then rang me from this number. Did a bit of digging myself and they turned out to be legit.HMRC3 monthsLooks like a classic HMRC scam to me. Got a call saying it was Advantis. They told me I'd be getting a letter soon about some HMRC matter. They stressed it needed sorting quickly. Then they asked me to visit bit.ly/2OTcAQb or ring 01782 40 11 20 and give them ref 29670537. Definitely fishy, so watch out folks!HMRC4 monthsGot a message from these lot saying, "Hello JAMES WILSON, settle your HMRC debt now, give us a ring on 01782 40 11 20 ref 29569797." Thing is, that's not even my name! Watch out, could be a scam.HMRC4 monthsGot a text and a letter saying I supposedly owe money to HMRC. Funny thing, the same day I got another letter from Horizon Parking about my car being in the car park too long. What’s weird is both letters have the exact same return address on the envelope! Very dodgy if you ask me.HMRCHorizon5 monthsGot a text telling me to call the number on top about some HMRC debt, said it was urgent. I wasn’t falling for it though, cos HMRC always either phones you directly or sends an official letter with a stamp on it. Definitely a scam.HMRC7 monthsGot a bunch of texts about owing tax, next thing a call comes through asking for my personal info. I just ended the call straight away and rang my accountant. They told me it’s definitely a scam since all my tax payments are sorted. Watch out for this trick!7 monthsI looked up Advantis and found out it's a real company. The message I got was about HMRC. For now, I'm just gonna wait until a letter comes through before I ring HMRC myself. I’m being super careful and not falling for any tricks at the moment.AdvantisHMRC7 monthsGot a text off some dodgy person, saying it’s about advertising. Total scam, watch out!9 monthsWas a tax related scam, but they really made it sound believable.9 monthsThey kept insisting I owed HMRC money and said they had sent me letters recently, which is totally not the case.HMRC12 monthsGot another call and then a letter popped up too. Honestly, watch out - these scammers are really trying to nick your cash.ANOTHER1 yearBeware of these tax fraudsters.1 yearDefinitely a tax fraud call.1 yearReceived a message from this number telling me to ring about some tax issue. Definitely a scam, so I just blocked and deleted it.1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were from HMRC about some recovery issue, but I’m pretty sure it was a scam.HM RevenueCustoms1 yearHey there, got a message sayin’ it was from HMRC about my account. They mentioned some letter that was sent out. A bunch of people I know just pay through their site https://pay.advantis.info/i?s=GJUUR. Thats what they told me at least. Feels a bit off tho.HMRC1 yearThis isn’t a scam, it’s a genuine debt recovery firm working on behalf of HMRC. I received a few texts and letters similar to this, so I got in touch with HMRC to check. They told me I’d underpaid tax several years back and had passed the case to Adventis to collect the money. I sorted a repayment arrangement directly through HMRC, and that was that. The only hassle is HMRC don’t always update Adventis once the payments are underway, so I still get the occasional reminder text. If you’ve spoken to HMRC and set something up, you can pretty much ignore these messages.HMRCAdventis1 yearLetters, phone calls and text messages all contain a good amount of accurate detail about me, but are clearly a scam. Advantis debt collection may be a legitimate company, but likely someone is using their details to appear legitimate. The telephone number is only slightly different.1 yearDon’t bother with this number, it’s definitely a scam!!!AVOID THIS NUMBER1 yearBe careful, this is a total scam. They have a company name and address that looks real, but the phone number on the letter they sent us doesn't match. Some shady folks are once again trying to trick you into handing over money. My partner got a letter and a text claiming she owed HMRC for a self assessment. Thing is, she was medically retired from her NHS role over two years ago and hasn't worked since, and she’s on benefits, so all her taxes are sorted. Seriously, don’t get caught out by this!HMRCNHS1 yearI kept getting texts claiming HMRC had sent me a letter about owing tax. So, I checked my HMRC account online and it shows everything is paid up and no money is owed. Definitely a scam text!HMRC1 yearI got a text and a letter saying I owe HMRC £390. The number they gave is 01782 401 120, but when I checked their official website, the number listed is 01782 401 100. Pretty clear this is a scam trying to trick people.HMRC2 yearsThese people were scammers for sure. I checked with HMRC and they had no record of any issues or claims against me at all.HMRC2 yearsGot a message from Advantis about getting a letter from HMRC soon. I do owe some tax, so for a moment it seemed legit. But then the bad grammar in the text and reading other comments made me realise it’s obviously a scam.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsReceived a message about my HMRC account recently. Back in 2017 I had a bit of a rough time and managed to get all my tax stuff cleared up with HMRC. Paid everything owed and even deregistered from self-assessment, so all was good. Since then, I've been off work sick and receiving benefits from DWP, meaning no income tax to deal with. So honestly, there’s nothing left on my tax record. It threw me off for a couple of days but it’s definitely a scam.HMRC2 yearsThis was super convincing, somehow they had my tax details, so I'm thinking someone on the inside at HMRC must be feeding these scammers info to make them sound legit. I got a call from a posh white woman, no Indian accent like you'd expect from the usual scams. Seriously, don’t fall for this rubbish. I’ve got to believe karma will catch up with these lowlifes eventually.HMRC2 yearsMate, a pal of mine got a message from this number and said it was HMRC. I told her to be careful, so I checked it out myself. Sure enough, it's a con. I told her straight up to ignore it, it's all fake. Don't reply or anything, just bin the number, it's a total scam.HMRC2 yearsGot a call saying I owed money to HMRC but they couldn't even check my name properly. Then I got a text asking me to pay quickly with a link that looked dodgy. I messed up by giving away my details. Watch out, it's a total scam!HMRC2 yearsMy mate got a text from this number so I checked it out for her. Told her straight away it's a scam, best just bin it and not reply.2 yearsGot a call that seemed like the HMRC scam, sounded dodgy straight away. Wouldn't trust it one bit.HMRC2 yearsI received a text from this so-called “firm” saying I’d be sent a letter from HMRC via them, demanding payment. They included a phone number and a website link. The tricky part was I was actually sorting some problems with HMRC at the time, so their claim as debt collectors almost seemed legit. Luckily, I didn’t realise until later that the HMRC matter had already been resolved. The sum they mentioned could have been more than £4000! Cheers for letting me share this warning about these scammers.HMRC2 yearsHonestly, stay clear of this - it’s a total rip off. Just block the number straight away, don’t reply to any letters or texts, just bin them. I can’t understand how folks have the nerve to mess with people like this, putting everyone through grief and hassle just to pinch a bit of your hard earned cash. So best thing is to just block and forget about it.2 yearsNow they’re asking me to send them cash, can’t believe it.2 yearsGot a letter from Advantis saying I owed Simple Assessment tax. I never rang them back, instead I called HMRC directly. They told me there was indeed an overdue amount on my account, but it didn’t show up on the HMRC app. Turns out, the income was reported twice by mistake, which caused the Simple Assessment. Now I’m trying to track down the accountant who sent it to HMRC to get it all fixed.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsFrom what I can tell, this place looks pretty genuine to me.2 yearsI've been receiving calls for weeks now on my home phone from Advantis, the debt collection agency. They keep leaving messages on my answering machine, which is frustrating, especially since they're probing into my personal details. Just today, I got a letter from them, demanding payment to the tax office and suggesting I either start paying in instalments or settle the whole amount with a credit card. They even provided a number to call back, which is 01782401120. However, the woman I spoke to on the line had a thick accent, making it really difficult to grasp what she was saying. I don't think I’ll be calling them back anytime soon.Advantis2 yearsTotally a scam, dont trust it!2 yearsGot a text from some lot claiming to be HMRC, but I checked with the real HMRC and they said I don’t owe a penny. So, whoever these scammers are, they can stop sending me any more messages - I’ve had enough of it!HMRC2 yearsThat scan looked proper convincing, gotta watch out for it.2 yearsI keep receiving phone calls, texts and letters from Adventist claiming I owe taxes from March 2018. That can't be right as I was working full-time for the NHS at that time. There's no chance I owe anything from back then, so this has got to be a scam!NHS2 yearsI’ve been getting calls, texts, and even letters from these folks claiming I owe income tax, which isn’t true at all. It’s pretty annoying how persistent they are!2 yearsGot a text claiming it was from HMRC, but I wasnt too sure about it at all. Seemed fishy to me. Didn’t click any links or anything just to be safe. Might be a scam, watch out everyone!HMRC2 yearsI've come across the number 01782401120, and it seems to be a fraudulent call claiming to be from HMRC. Definitely best to steer clear of it!HMRC2 yearsGot a call from a number almost the same as a legit company, but was off by just one number. Totally feels like a scam.2 yearsI got a suspicious message from someone claiming to be Advantis. It said something about HMRC and that I’d get a letter soon. They told me to sort it out quickly and gave me a link to visit and a phone number: 01782 40 11 20, with a reference number 25992989. Seems like a total scam to me.HMRC2 yearsTotal con!2 yearsI recently received a rather dubious letter from them regarding an alleged outstanding balance, but I suspect it's all a scam. The contact number listed on the correspondence is 01782401120. Interestingly, they pulled a similar trick last year, trying to convince us we owed tax to HMRC, complete with a fraudulent HMRC phone number. It's rather disconcerting, to be honest!HMRC2 yearsGot a letter from this company called 'advantis' today, asking me to verify my address to sort out some customer account issue. It looked pretty legit, had both my present and old address on there. I wasn't in any kind of debt though, so lucky I looked up their phone number first before ringing them. Turns out the genuine advantis number is only off by one digit.2 yearsGot a letter from Advantis Credit Ltd a few days ago. The phone number they listed was 01782 40 11 20. They’re asking me to pay some overdue balance supposedly linked to my HMRC account dated 25/05/2024. This isn’t the first time I've had letters from this company, tons of them actually. I’m thinking it’s a scam since all my tax stuff is sorted and up to date.Advantis Credit Limited2 yearsSince April, my dad has been getting letters for some Mrs L J Bass, which has nothing to do with us or our address. They keep coming, and some are from "Advantis" while others claim to be from "The People's Pension." Honestly, it feels like a total scam that just won't stop.L J BassThe People ' s Pension2 yearsAbsolute nonsense! I received a message from these chaps claiming to be from Advantis. It read: “Hello, we're Advantis. Expect a letter from us shortly pertaining to HMRC. It’s crucial that you sort this out at your earliest convenience. Kindly visit bit.ly/2OTcAQb or give us a bell on 01782 40 11 20, quoting reference 25970818.” Mark my words, it's a complete con!AdvantisHMRC2 yearsThe number 01782401120 is definitely dodgy. I’ve taken the step of reporting it to Action Fraud. Best to watch out for these kinds of calls!Action Fraud2 yearsGot a message out of the blue saying, "Hello, this is Advantis. You'll get a letter soon about HMRC. It's urgent you sort this quickly. Visit bit.ly/2OTcAQb or phone 01782 40 11 20 with reference 26032977." I looked it up and it's clearly a con.HMRC2 yearsFor about a year now, I've been getting letters, calls, and texts saying I owe tax. Fingers crossed they'll stop bothering me sometime soon.2 yearsGot a message from this number about setting up a payment plan. Didn’t bother replying or calling back, just ignored it.2 yearsReally bothersome phone calls - they hang up as soon as I pick up.2 yearsGot a random text just saying “Hi” and telling me to arrange payment today, and to call that number. No info at all about what it’s for! I just blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI received a message saying, "Hello. Please arrange to settle your outstanding balance today by reaching out to us at 01782401120." However, I want to clarify that I don't have any debts with HMRC.HMRC2 yearsI’ve never actually had any interactions with them before.2 yearsI got a message from this number asking me to get in touch using a reference number they gave. I just deleted it and decided to wait for a proper letter or maybe an official phone call instead. Definitely seems dodgy.3 yearsI keep receiving voicemails asking me to ring them back, and then there’s a text saying I owe some money, but I have no idea what it’s about.3 yearsI received a letter from Advantis requesting me to verify my address, so I decided to check the number online first. It’s a good thing I did, because I found it a bit odd since I’ve never dealt with Advantis before or heard of them at all. I’ve had plenty of dodgy letters pretending to be from HMRC claiming I owe money, so I’m always cautious with these things. I’d recommend always searching the contact number before trusting these types of letters.AdvantisHMRC3 yearsGot a text from Advantis Credit saying, "We recently tried reaching you about your account" but I didn't bother calling back since the number seemed dodgy and like a scam.Advantis Credit3 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from HMRC stating that I owed some tax.HMRC3 yearsI received a text message from the number I'm curious about, mentioning a tax matter with HMRC from 2018. I've also gotten two letters related to it.HMRC3 yearsGot a message earlier saying something about my account and that I should ring them straight away or check out www.advantiscredit.co.uk. Felt a bit off to me.co3 yearsI just received a call from 01782401120, and it was quite unexpected. The caller, who seemed to have an accent possibly from Nigeria, insisted that I needed to settle a debt linked to a credit I supposedly inquired about. However, I’ve never applied for any loans like that. They mentioned something about Adventis Collection. Quite baffling, to say the least!Nigeria3 yearsI've been getting texts from the number 01782 401120 saying I need to call them because I supposedly owe money.3 yearsI began receiving letters supposedly from HMRC saying I owe self-assessment tax, which I definitely don’t. Then, out of nowhere, a letter arrived from Advantis debt collectors with dodgy phone numbers trying to scam me. Honestly, it's places like this website that help expose these fraudsters, but it’s frustrating that more isn’t done to stop them for good.HMRCAdvantis3 yearsOver the past couple of years, I’ve gotten quite a few letters from HMRC, but none with my actual name, just the address. Recently, I got a bailiff warning from some debt collectors, and it had this phone number on the notice. When I tried calling, my phone flagged it as possible fraud.

It seems unlikely to be anything urgent if they can't even be bothered to drop a voicemail.3 yearsGot a call about some scam debt linked to an old place I lived, like five years back.
