9 monthsGot a call a minute ago from a bloke speaking English. He claimed to be with Avantis or something like that and mentioned a DVLA claim. I told him I have no idea what he was talking about. Then he started going on about some letter they'd supposedly sent me. I just said thanks and ended the call. I've put the number on my block list now.AvantisDVLA9 monthsMy iPhone flagged this number as probable spam when it rang me, which was a lifesaver - I'd skip answering if I were you.9 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were with Aventis, but it was definitely a scam. Stay alert!Aventis9 monthsA few times now they've rung and left a voicemail, but never bother to say who they are or the reason for calling. Quite frustrating really.10 monthsBeen getting loads of calls from this Avantis lot, even tho I moved out of the UK ages ago. No idea why they think I owe anything, cos I definitely don’t. Plus, they ring from a mobile number - sounds like a proper scam to me. Avoid!UK1 yearTotal rip-off, watch out!1 yearSCAM ALERT. I got a ring from this number and it turned out to be just a recorded voice message. Like others mentioned, the caller claimed to be from Avantis Credit, which is a real company, but I highly doubt this call actually came from them. They said there was an urgent 'business' issue to discuss and offered to connect me with an operator or let me call back. I didn’t speak to anyone because it felt like a total FRAUD / SCAM. I have no business with Avantis, so this number should definitely be blocked based on mine and others' experiences.Spam AlertAvantis CreditAvantis2 yearsI got a ring from some place claiming to be Avantis or Advantage, wanted to talk to another person. I told them straight up they had the wrong number. Then they asked me to hang on, and after a moment, they started asking about where I lived. Once I told them, the lady seemed to figure out I wasn’t making it up and said they’d take my number off their list. She sounded pretty harsh, honestly I was about to ask if she actually thought I was fibbing. Anyway, I’ve blocked the number now 🚫2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming I owed money to HMRC... total scam!HMRC2 yearsI got calls and texts saying I owe a fine from the DVLA, but I’m certain I don’t have any outstanding charges. Feels like a scam to me.DVLA2 yearsGot loads of calls from a supposed Advantis Credit, kept telling me I owed money but I knew I didn’t. So, I just blocked every number they used. Then today, I got this pushy voicemail and thought I’d better check it out. Rang up Advantis and they told me it was actually the DVLA trying to reach me, which was a bit of a surprise. They asked for all my info but I refused to give anything except my name. After a quick apology, they said maybe I’d got a new phone number, which I told them I’ve had this one for about 11 or 12 years. They were kinda stuck after that!DVLA2 yearsI keep gettin loads of calls from this 01782401162 number. I aint never owed money to anyone, so it’s gotta be a mistake. If it was really debt collectors, you’d think the number would look more official. Who even is the person ringin from 01782401162 anyway? Proper confusing!2 yearsI keep getting loads of calls, never had any debt with anyone at all. If they were real debt collectors, wouldn’t there be a person talking to me instead of just robotic messages? Seems dodgy to me.2 yearsAdvantis Credit was the one who actually made the call, it was totally legit.Advantis Credit2 yearsThis number has rung me a few times now. The message is quite unclear but it sounds like it’s about some sort of debt. They ask you to press 1 to talk to someone, but as soon as you do, the call just ends. I don’t owe any money so I reckon it’s a scam, but since you never actually get to chat with anyone, I’m not sure how they plan to con you out of anything.2 yearsPure spam.2 yearsPretends to be from the DVLA, supposedly verifying information. For goodness’ sake!DVLA2 yearsGot a couple of voicemail messages from someone saying they were with AVANTIS, asking me to call back. I don’t usually answer numbers I don’t know, so they just went straight to silent. I’ve blocked the number now and informed O2’s scam team about it.AVANTIS2 yearsI picked up the phone as soon as it rang, but the caller hung up almost instantly. Moments later, I was left with a voicemail urging me to return the call, directing me to a number based in Stoke. I must say, I don't know anyone in Stoke at the moment!Stoke2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Avantis Debt Recovery but I don’t owe a thing. They didn’t leave any info, so I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam trying to trick you into ringing them back.Avantis2 yearsA bloke rang claiming to be from the DVLA, asking for my husband. He wouldn't say which car or reg he was talking about and then admitted he was after some other guy with the same last name. We just ended the call.DVLASubmit Your Own Report (01782 401162)
