Phone number ☎️ 01782401121 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance debt collection number linked to Advantis Credit, often associated with bogus HMRC or utility bill claims. Callers frequently request personal details yet reveal little about the debt, raising strong suspicions of scams. Many report receiving texts with suspicious links and calls demanding info for supposed unpaid taxes or debts they do not owe. The number is notorious for repeated silent or hang-up calls, harassment, and spoofing tactics, targeting both individuals and businesses, including the elderly. Despite some claiming Advantis is a genuine company, this particular number is widely distrusted and thought to be used by scammers or aggressive debt collectors. Users strongly advise blocking and caution due to data protection concerns and potential fraud risks.
Reports on phone number 01782401121
4 monthsGot a message from these lot called Advantis, saying I’m gonna get a letter about HMRC soon. They said it’s urgent and told me to either check a link online or ring 01782 40 11 21 with a reference number 29942992. Pretty sure it’s a scam, so I just didn’t bother with it.AdvantisHMRC9 monthsI received a message claiming I had unpaid business tax with HMRC, showing a due amount of £7666.99 after I put in a reference number via their link. But when I rang HMRC directly, they confirmed I didn’t owe anything. Just so you know, the real Adventis site asks for both a reference number and your postcode to log in or pay. The link from the text only asks for the reference number, which seems dodgy. Don’t hand over any cash! If you’re unsure, always double-check with HMRC or go straight to the proper Adventis website, which has a valid contact number.HMRCAdventis1 yearDefinitely a scam, don’t trust it!1 yearThis number is dodgy. Advantis is a legit company but they don’t use this phone number. Best to block it and if you’re unsure, ring up HMRC yourself to check. Don’t answer or call back!AdvantisHMRC1 yearReceived a message today from someone claiming to be Advantis, saying that me and my firm would be getting a letter about HMRC soon, with a link and a reference code included. I looked them up online and while Advantis is a real business, the number that texted me isn't theirs at all - definitely a scam.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsI received a message claiming to be from Advantis, mentioning something about HMRC in a rather dodgy and threatening way. Since I work in tax myself, it felt off, so I just didn’t bother replying.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsHonestly, this feels like a proper scam. It’s awful how they pretend you owe Hmrc money just to scare you. I feel bad for anyone who ends up getting caught out by it. Also, once you’ve had one of these calls or texts, you can bet your phone number’s been passed around on the dark web. Expect nonstop annoying calls after that. Best to just avoid them altogether.HMRC2 yearsWatch out, these scammers are quite clever. They often start by posting you a letter and then ring you up afterwards. Before handing over any money, make sure you contact the company mentioned in the letter yourself - like HMRC or Sky - to check if it's genuine.HMRCSky2 yearsFor those who might be interested, it's worth noting that the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is only effective if the callers adhere to it and choose not to reach out. It's not a legally binding scheme, more of a guideline. Typically, it can take anywhere from 9 to 12 months for changes to be noticeable. However, it primarily deters only the legitimate telemarketers who actually respect the list. As for the spammers? Well, they couldn’t care less and will persistently contact you regardless.2 yearsI didn’t receive a phone call as such, but rather a text purporting to be from HMRC, complete with a link for making a payment. It seems to be yet another variant of the usual con jobs doing the rounds. Caution is advised: the number shown might not be the true source of the message - it could very well be spoofed. They've even employed a Debt Collection number to lend a deceptive air of legitimacy to the whole thing. Just to be clear, it's a ruse!HMRC2 yearsAbsolute fraudsters.2 yearsSaid they were collecting debts for HMRC but sounded suspicious.HM Revenue and Customs2 yearsGot a message from this number supposedly from Advantis, saying I’ll get a letter about HMRC. They sent a reference number and a weird website link to check out. Felt a bit off to me.HMRC3 yearsGot a message from this number claiming to be Adventis Credit. Sounds like a total scam. I've blocked it now.Adventis Credit3 yearsGot a call from some sketchy bloke pretending to raise money for legit Nazis. Absolutely shocking.3 yearsSo, a debt collection company got in touch with me about a debt linked to someone else's name, but they somehow got my SIM number through a Facebook message. This has been dragging on for more than a decade now. They just keep passing my name around between different agents. Absolute pain in the arse.Facebook3 yearsTotal scam, called from advantiscredit and they had no clue who I was, not even my name.AdvantisCredit3 yearsGot a text saying it was urgent to ring this number or go to www.advantiscredit.co.uk with ref 23689667 - just ignored it and blocked the caller.. co3 yearsAdvantis Credit Ltd, Minton Hollies Building, Shelton Old Rd, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST4 7RY. I've been getting letters about a debt of £8,275, supposedly from HM Revenue and Customs. I called them, read out the letter, and they told me it was a scam and that they're treating it seriously. I tried looking up the address on Companies House, but it doesn’t appear there. I'm not sure how to make the letters stop, but just to be safe, I've reported it.HM Revenue and CustomsAdvantis Credit LtdMinton Hollies BuildingShelton Old RoadStoke - on - TrentStaffordshireST4Companies House4 yearsAdvantis is a scam - they even admit it on their own site. They tried to con me out of £14,000 for some fake HMRC debt. I’ve reported them to HMRC, Advantis themselves, and the National Fraud Team.Advantis Scam AlertHMRCAdvantisNational Fraud Office4 yearsFor the last few months, I've been getting texts and voicemails on my mobile from this number claiming to be Advantis, asking me to ring them about some personal business. I looked them up and found out they’re a debt collection agency or something like that. One of their older messages mentioned they’d sent me a letter, but I've never got anything through the post. I don’t reply or pick up because I’ve never borrowed money or have any unpaid debts. They’ve only been ringing my mobile, not my landline. I did register with the Telephone Preference Service, but maybe it hasn’t kicked in yet.4 yearsWe've got letters from a Debt Collection Agency using the number 01782401111, calling themselves ADVANTIS. They say they're chasing money for SKY, but we stopped dealing with Sky last year and paid everything off properly. I'm just going to ignore any more messages from them. Looks like a total scam to me.ADVANTISSKYSky4 yearsGet calls every day. Always the same automated woman saying I got a letter. Never recieved anything from a debt collection firm or Avantis. Definately scammers! I keep blocking the number, but they just keep ringing back. Proper nuisance calls.Avantis4 yearsAdvantis just ask for personal info and then waste your time, pointless really.4 yearsDidn’t get any reply or explanation.7 yearsGot a call from a number I’d never heard of, they kept asking for someone I don't know, total pain.7 yearsHad a call today saying I owed some money or whatever, then they started asking for my personal info. I just hung up straight away but they keep ringing me. Does anyone know what I should do about it?7 yearsI picked up but no one spoke. Blocked the number straight away.7 yearsI've had a phone line off for ages ’cause of dodgy calls, figured it was alright to switch it back on now. Nope, wrong again! This number won't stop buzzing, always asking me to hit 1 to talk to some 'advisor'. Totally annoying! Feel like a right muppet for trusting it.7 yearsThis number has called me a few times and never drops a voicemail, sounds like it could be yet another scam!7 years01782401121 and 01782401131 are total scammers. If you've handed over any cash to them, please report it to the Police straight away. The nice reviews on this site are obviously from the scammers themselves. Why else would a happy customer bother searching to check the number? I get around 4 calls daily from these numbers and I never pick up. I've never shared my landline with anyone, so any call I get is 100% a scam. Just be careful, all the glowing comments are fake and from the scammers. Don’t trust them.7 yearsSounds like a debt collector, they’re calling for SKY in this instance.SKY7 yearsNo clue where they got my number from but they keep ringing me, saying I should call them back and it won’t cost me anything??! After seeing the other comments I’ve just blocked the number now.7 yearsDropped a message asking to call me back quick but advantis has blocked me. Does anyone know how these companies even get hold of your number?? Cheers!Advantis7 yearsthese guys are debt collectors working for vodafone and some other firms, i’ve got letters from them so its for real.Vodafone8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were debt collectors, but they were really cagey about what they wanted. They attempted to get me to spill info about someone else which, as far as I know, is against GPDR rules!8 yearsThey asked to talk to the business owner, then said they were debt collectors threatening legal action over unpaid taxes. No name given, no details at all, totally a scam.8 yearsThis is a Scam. They wanna steal your info by asking personal stuff. Be careful!8 yearsGot loads of calls from this number. A woman keeps asking for a Miss Barrett. Bit strange coz the first time they called was like 3 years ago.MissBarrett8 yearsI got a call this morning around 8:10 am from some woman claiming to be with Advantis. She wanted me to verify my name but I’ve never come across that company before, so I just ended the call.Advantis8 yearsNo idea how they managed to get my number or info, but ive been getting nonstop calls and texts from loads of different numbers all day and night. I just ignore them and block each one that comes through.8 yearsGot a call from this number today around 09:28, left a voicemail telling me to ring back but didnt use my name. After having a look online, found out its a debt collection company. Better just block this one.8 yearsA guy named James rang me up, asked for me by name and said it was a work-related call from Advantis. I told him I had nothing to do with Advantis and that I was aware they were scammers.JamesAdvantis8 years01782 401121 Advantis keeps ringing me non stop, ive had to block most of em cause theyre just annoying now.8 yearsThey rang me up asking for my details, but I didn’t share a thing. Totally a scam, no doubt about it.8 yearsThere’s this debt collection firm named Avantis that keeps blowing up my phone and sending texts from loads of different numbers. They want you to hand over all your personal details before even telling you what it’s about! They might be legit, but they’re proper pushy and annoying. I just block and ignore them.Avantis8 yearsGot a voicemail from someone saying they were Advantis and to ring back. They’re definitely going straight to my block list of numbers I ignore.Advantis8 yearsYep, it's definitely Advantis debt collectors calling. I've told them loads of times they're ringing a wrong number, but they just don't get it.8 yearsJust got a call from them, she asked my name and then wanted my address but I didn’t give it. She said she already has my address in front of her, so I asked why she was asking if she already had it. Then they hung up. Who on earth are these people?9 yearsThey were clearly trying to get info from me. All they had was my initials and last name. They wouldn’t say what the call was about unless I confirmed my identity. I told them they needed to reveal who they were before I gave any details. They threatened me with more calls, saying we had an unpaid debt, which we definitely don’t. The guy sounded really harsh and aggressive. I’ve blocked their number now!9 yearsGot a call a minute ago and decided not to pick up. Happy I didn’t, as I have no clue where they found my number from. Blocked straight away.9 yearsThey rang me sayin it was about a private matter. Honestly, that’s got nothing to do with me!!!9 yearsThis number keeps calling me but never leaves a voicemail, which made me suspicious straight away. I even got a text claiming they had some business matter with me. I’m not owing anything and I’m registered with the TPS, so these calls are definitely against the rules.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsThese people are debt collectors, block the number right away, plus -1125!9 yearsThey said they needed to speak with Mr xxxxx about some unpaid personal money issue. When I asked what it was about, they wouldn’t say unless I confirmed some info first. I told them I think they’ve got the wrong number cos the person they want doesn’t live here. Definitely just trying to scam for info - watch out!!!9 yearsThis number has rung me a few times with automated messages. The caller said they were from some company called Advantis. When I dialled it back to find out more, the bloke who answered just said it was regarding an urgent personal issue. He asked me to verify my name and info before telling me anything else. I hung up straight away. The calls came pretty early in the morning, which made me worry it was something serious, so it was even more frustrating.Advantis9 yearsGot a ring from this number today, person was asking for someone I’d never come across before. Told them they’d got the wrong number, then they asked me to confirm my phone number and address so they could take me off their list or whatever.9 yearsAvantis, that debt collection outfit, is pretty famous for ripping off innocent folks.Avantis9 yearsI have blocked this number because it's really annoying. Yesterday, they rang me from a different number, so I blocked that one too. Then they even sent me a text message. I have no idea who they are and I don’t deal with them at all.

They said it was something personal and wanted my info. When I asked what it was about, they said they couldn’t say anything until they verified my details. I told them straight up I had no personal business with them, didn’t know who they were, and wasn’t interested in any rubbish they were pushing. The woman got really rude, saying they’d call again and that they had “business” with me. I ended the call and blocked the number. Not playing games with this kind of scammy behaviour..S —9 yearsThey phoned me requesting personal details and the last two places I’ve lived.

The person on the line kept asking for some bloke called Mr Brittan, which is not anyone I know. When I told them they had the wrong number, they started pressing me for my name and where I live.
