01782401163 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01782401163 👆 is reported as a number frequently linked to scam calls impersonating HMRC or debt collection agencies like Advantis, often demanding personal information or payment details. Many callers use aggressive or unprofessional tactics, sometimes speaking with foreign accents, and frequently hang up when challenged. Genuine Advantis representatives do exist as authorised HMRC debt collectors, but confusion arises due to poor communication, multiple scam impersonators, and misleading voicemail messages posing as dentists or other businesses. Users are strongly advised to avoid sharing personal data, verify any alleged debts directly with HMRC, and block the number. Caution is warranted as calls may feel threatening or persistent, but official HMRC calls typically come from 0300 numbers, not this number.
Reports on phone number 01782401163
3 monthsThere was no way they wanted to send anything by letter or email, and guess what? They couldn't even give me an email address. The person on the phone had a really strong foreign accent. After a good 5 minutes on hold, they just told me to buzz off. Well, on the bright side, at least they didn’t keep bugging other people for ages! :)4 monthsgot a call from someone pressing me for personal info, kept rushing me. asked for their name but they dodged it. when they pushed for my bank details, I told them to send a letter and I'd provide info that way. they said that's not how they work, I told them that's not how I do things. the bloke got annoyed real quick, and i mentioned hmrc agents wouldn't get so snappy. then he just cut the call.4 monthsGot a dodgy call from this number. Didn’t answer and just blocked it right away. Avoid at all costs!4 monthsI picked up the phone but there was silence on the other end.4 monthsGot a call claiming to be from HMRC about a security check. I said tell me in writing first and they just ended the call. Complete rubbish.HMRC4 monthsGot a bunch of calls from some fraudsters who wouldn't stop ringing me, leaving loads of voice messages that were just rubbish. Stay clear of them!5 monthsThese lot are proper scammers, stealing from folks!5 monthsGot a call from some people claiming to be from a business that actually shut down ages ago, like three years back. They wanted me to spill all my personal info before even saying why they were ringing. I played along and kept them chatting for about ten minutes before hanging up. Total scam, 100%.5 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were with HMRC, but real HMRC never rings you up like that. Best to just hang up and don’t share any of your details with them, it's definitely a scam.HMRC5 monthsJust had a call but they didn’t leave a voicemail or anything. Missed it completely.5 monthsHad a voicemail from someone saying it was Advantis. They wanted me to call a totally different number: 01782 971 403. I looked it up here, and it’s flagged as spam too. Bit dodgy if you ask me!5 monthsGot a voicemail from this number but the company name was pretty unclear, they asked me to ring back on 01782 971403. I checked that number on WCM and it’s flagged as risky, so I decided to block it.WCM7 monthsGot a call from someone talking really broken English, saying they were from HMRC. They wanted me to share personal info, but I didn’t feel comfortable. When I refused, they got all annoyed. If it was legit HMRC, wouldn’t they speak proper English and be polite? Doesn’t add up to me, so I’ve just blocked the number now.HMRC7 monthsI got a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC and they wanted me to verify my personal info. So I looked up the number, and turns out it's linked to loads of scams.HMRC8 monthsThey called saying something about HMRC and letters. Told me I had to pass some security check. I told them I hadn’t got any letters at all and then they said to ring back once I got them. After that, they just hung up on me.HMRC8 monthsGot a call from a lady with an African accent asking for my name. I just told her straight up that I don’t share personal info with people I don’t know on the phone. Honestly, I’m just not comfortable trusting calls from Africa like that.Africa8 monthsHad some dodgy calls recently from people pretending to be HMRC. They wanted me to provide proof of some so-called debt. Honestly, HMRC doesn't just ring up anyone, these scammers just make up numbers out of nowhere.HMRC8 monthsSome dodgy people keep ringing claiming to be from HMRC, and they just don’t know when to give up. Definitely a scam!HMRC8 monthsGot a call from some scammers who sounded like they couldn’t figure out the way to the local curry takeaway.8 monthsGot two missed calls from this number, followed by a message begging me to call them back.9 monthsThere’s no way I’m sending money to these crooks, I’ll give HMRC directly, not some dumb #### scam artists!HMRC9 monthsSomeone rang me claiming to be from Avanta, asking if I'd had any letters from them about HMRC. I told them no, and said I’d just wait for the official letter to come through. After that, I ended the call.AvantaHMRC9 monthsI got a call from someone saying they were from Advantis, a debt collection agency, but I’ve never owed them a penny. When I looked up the number on Google, it did say Advantis, so don’t get tricked by that.AdvantisGoogle9 monthsI got a call from a number that my phone flagged as maybe a scam, so I didn’t pick up. I looked the number up online and it was linked to Advantis. I reached out to them through their live chat just to check, and they said it was a mix-up - they called the wrong number by mistake. They apologised and said they’d take me off their list. Pretty decent of them, really.Advantis9 monthsThis isn’t the right Advatis number - the legit one finishes with 00.9 monthsGot another one blocked, what a scam!9 monthsDidn’t pick up and got both a dodgy text and call afterwards. Clearly a scam.10 monthsBlimey, some folks here are off their heads. It's Advantis, the lot HMRC employ to gather debts. They're fairly decent and usually let you set up payment plans. Look up HMRC if you're unsure. Either sort your dues or don't… Honestly, they can’t really force anything. They just keep chasing and try to assist. Why the fibbing though… Just pay or don't, but no need for the lies.HMRC10 monthsThey keep ringing me nonstop.11 monthsHonestly, you should report this lot to the FCA ASAP. They’re not legit debt collectors at all, just some scammy bunch pretending to be your dentist to get you to ring them back. It’s all dodgy and probably against the law. Whatever you do, don’t give out any details and make sure you block the number straight away.FCA ASAP11 monthsTotal con artist.11 monthsSomeone called claiming to be from Advantis. Even though my phone showed a scam alert, I picked up. Turns out it was definitely a scam.12 monthsWhat a load of prats, I swear!12 monthsGot a call from someone claiming they were from HMRC, but it was definitely a scam.HMRC12 monthsWatch out, this is definitely a con. Got a call from someone pretending to be from the debt collectors Advantis, claiming they were phoning for HMRC. No matter what, never share your personal details with them.AdvantisHMRC1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were from HMRC and needed to check my info, sounded like a scam so I just blocked them.HMRC1 yearGot a call claiming there was a problem with a shared HMRC client on some business matter. I cut the call straightaway. Total scam, no doubt.HMRC1 yearGot a voicemail from someone claiming to be Advantis, supposed debt collectors, but the number they used doesn't line up with the official one. Bit fishy if you ask me.Advantis1 yearGot a call from a woman claiming to be with HMRC, she started firing off questions right away. I cut her off and asked for her name, but she just wouldn't say. Felt fishy straight away, so I told her I didn’t believe she was from HMRC and to get lost. Watch out, they’re like wolves pretending to be sheep. Cheers, Michael.HMRCMichael1 yearGot a voicemail claiming to be from my dentist asking me to ring back. That’s odd because they’re definitely not the dentist I go to!1 yearGot a call from debt collectors saying they were from HMRC - felt alright to pick up.HMRC1 yearIf a company sends you an automatic message asking you to ring them back on another number, that's a massive red flag for a scam. You might hear some folks claim that this company is legit, but the way they operate just screams dodgy to me. It's best to avoid calling them back at all.1 yearI got a call from someone who said they were from Advantis, but then they said dentist too. A lady with a really thick Asian accent called me out of the blue. I never got any letter before the call and HMRC shows no debts at all. Totally a scam, be careful - they don’t send texts, so don’t click any links if you get messages like that.HMRC1 yearAdvantis is a third party company collecting debts for HMRC, but they're not the real deal, just authorised agents. Don't pay them a penny. If you owe HMRC, only sort it out straight with them, never with any other company. Just ignore calls or letters from these lot.AdvantisHMRC1 yearThis number actually belongs to Advantis, which is a real company - it’s not “advantage” or a dentist like some folks have got wrong in their comments. They work as authorised debt collectors for HMRC, dealing with stuff like corporation tax, VAT, and self-assessment tax. I wouldn’t just brush off calls from them.AdvantisHMRC1 yearI got contacted because of TaxScouts London, and honestly, I'd steer clear of answering anything from Advantis debt collectors. They apparently can copy your voice - total scammers. Wouldn't trust Tax Scouts either!LondonAdvantisTax Scouts1 yearGot a call from this number today, with someone saying they were from HMRC. I told them it sounded like a scam and they just ended the call straightaway. Just a heads up, HMRC usually ring from a 0300 number. Best to just ignore calls from this one if you can.HMRC1 yearI've no idea who this number belongs to. After hearing about HMRC's debt collection tactics, I'm convinced it's just a scam.HMRC1 yearNot this again!!! So frustrating!1 yearLooks like one of those dodgy tax scams to me.1 yearTotally fake callers, be careful!1 yearI didn’t pick up but they dropped a voicemail saying something like, “Message for a dentist, please ring back on 971. The number is 971 03, cheers…”1 yearI saw the number pop up on my phone but didn’t pick up - it’s those scammers acting like they’re from HMRC.HMRC1 yearGot a call saying they were from Advantage, supposedly representing HMRC about some debt. They wanted to talk to the business owner or director but didn’t have any actual names or details, even though they called the business number. If this is for real, it seems pretty dodgy to me, especially since we keep things anonymous here. Very unprofessional all round.HMRC2 yearsThis number just rang me up. I’m really wondering why the government we choose can’t put a stop to all this nonsense? And how come the TPS scheme doesn’t seem to do anything at all?2 yearsGot a call from 01782-401163 earlier, sounded like some debt collectors working on behalf of HMRC. Pretty sure it was legit, just a heads up in case anyone else gets a ring from them.HMRC2 yearsGot a voicemail from a woman saying she was calling from "The Dentist" and wanted me to ring back. The number showed up as somewhere in Stoke on Trent, which is nowhere near my usual dentist. Definitely not answering that on my personal phone.Stoke - on - Trent2 yearsI keep getting calls from this number and it's really driving me crazy. I honestly can't handle it any longer. 017824011632 yearsEven though I’ve got a payment plan sorted with HMRC and pay them straight away, they still handed over the debt to these guys.HMRC2 yearsGot a call from 01782401163 but I have no mates in Stoke, so I just ignored it, probably another scam!Stoke2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be my dentist, but I’m pretty sure it was a scam. The way they spoke didn't sound right at all, and they started asking for personal stuff out of the blue. Definitely felt dodgy. Wouldn’t trust it if I were you!2 yearsI made payments directly on the HMRC site, but now I’m getting calls from some international outfit. I’ve blocked the number, but I’m guessing they have heaps more so the calls will just keep coming (they’ll get blocked too, obviously). Honestly, it’s a bit rubbish that HMRC outsourced to a team that couldn’t even understand my British accent. I’ll carry on sorting out my payments through the official HMRC portal, thanks all the same. Just so you know, us UK taxpayers would prefer to deal with fellow Brits when it comes to tax stuff, not some foreign call centres.HMRCUK2 yearsGot constant calls from Advantis about supposed HMRC debts, plus texts, emails and letters all piling up. It’s really stressful, almost feels like being hounded non-stop! What’s worse, their info’s incorrect. Might be worth reporting them to the ICO or even Treasury for using these dodgy methods.AdvantisHMRCICOTreasury2 yearsGot a call from this dodgy bloke from India, proper creepy.India2 yearsI got a call from Advantis Debt Collection, they were ringing about some HMRC stuff. I didn’t pick up but ended up chatting to them through their online chat, and honestly, they were quite understanding. They helped set up a payment plan that wasn’t too harsh on my budget.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsSo, I got a text from Advantis claiming I owe some money to HMRC. They just sent a link to pay up but didn’t explain what exactly the debt was for or anything like that. I asked them to give me more details but haven’t heard back. Now, I’m not calling it a scam outright, but it’s annoying because companies like this make it easier for scammers to trick people, since proper debt collectors don’t bother giving any real info about the debt either. It just feels a bit dodgy to me.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsGot a text from Advantis debt collectors and they rang me from this number too. When I did the webchat, after going through the usual security checks, they verified that the debt was from HMRC and matched what I actually owe. I even called HMRC myself, just to be sure, and they confirmed the case had been passed over to this firm.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsI just got a call from this really upset woman from Africa demanding my personal info but she wouldn’t say who she was. Fingers crossed she gets her due some day.Africa2 yearsGot a call from Advantis claiming to be from HMRC. I actually have a small amount due to HMRC from last year, but I’m sorting it out straight with them. Not sure why they involved this lot though.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsI got a call from Advantis about a supposed debt to HMRC, and at first I thought it was a scam. After contacting the tax office myself, I found out I did owe £300 but hadn’t been aware of it. I chose to settle the payment straight with HMRC instead of going through Advantis. They are genuine by the way.AdvantisHMRC2 yearsThey called me back today saying they were from Advantis. I didn’t bother engaging and just blocked the number straight away. Had a call from them back in June too. Definitely a scam, watch out.2 yearsI got a call from someone wanting to talk to the financial controller. There was something odd about how she asked for them, so I decided to look up the number online. Glad I trusted my gut on that one!2 yearsGot a scam call, so I just erased the number and blocked it straight away.2 yearsI got a call from 01782401163, and the person said they were ringing for a client and wanted to talk to the company director. When I asked what it was about, they said they couldn’t share any details due to data protection rules. They claimed their company was called Advantis. Very dodgy if you ask me.Advantis2 yearsGot a voicemail saying I should ring them back but decided to look them up here before doing anything. Saw loads of people saying it’s a scam so I just blocked and deleted the number straight away.2 yearsGot a voicemail from a woman saying it was the dentist calling and to ring 01782 071403. Seemed fishy to me. You’d think a proper dental surgery would say their name and use your name, not just some vague message. Classic scam if you ask me.2 yearsGot a call earlier from 01782401163, this Indian lady wanted to talk to whoever owns the business. She kept me waiting on hold for a bit and then just hung up.2 yearsI got a call from this number on my mobile yesterday but didn’t pick up 'cause I had no clue who it was.2 yearsGot a call from 01782-401173 earlier today, 4th July. Didn't pick up since I figured it might be a scam. Took a quick look on this site and as expected, it’s definitely a scammer. 🙄2 yearsTotally a scam, be careful!2 yearsSo I got this call from a number claiming to be HMRC, but turns out they're somewhere in Calcutta! Seriously, just block the number - these crooks haven't got a clue about who you are or where you live. Just a load of rubbish trying to pretend they’re official. I guess it’s easier for them to ring from their air-conditioned office than scrabbling around outside on the streets hoping for scraps, but whatever they are, it definitely isn’t the real tax office. COME ON, GET LOST!HMRCCalcutta2 yearsSome bloke got really shouty when I wouldn’t give him any info. He claimed to be from a company called Adventist, saying he was working with HMRC. I told him I don’t do phone calls and asked him to send something in writing - he said they already had, which is why he was ringing now. Absolute rubbish, I never got anything. No idea how he even got my number, nothing to do with any business or anything. When I asked him for the address the letters were supposedly sent to, he just refused to say. So I just hung up while he was still yelling. Total SCAM and really rude as well!AdventistHMRC2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from HMRC, but I didn’t fall for it and gave them nothing. Told them straight up I knew it was a scam and to quit ringing and messaging me or else I'd report them. The person on the line had a heavy Indian accent and spoke in very broken English. Really don’t get why BT allows this sort of thing to go on, especially when they must know their network's being used by fraudsters.HMRCBT2 yearsGot a call from a woman wanting to speak to me using my full name, saying she was from HMRC. She spoke in a really broken foreign accent, sounded like from somewhere in the Far East. When I told her it was a scam and HMRC never call like this, she kept saying she didn’t understand. Definitely a proper scam call.HMRCFar East2 yearsSeems like a total con!2 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust this number!Fraudster2 yearsI've had just about enough of these pesky nuisance calls; it’s high time they came to a halt!2 yearsJust got a call from a number I don’t recoginise on my mobile...seems like it could be a scam or something dodgy.2 yearsCalled at 6:30 in the evening, claiming to represent HMRC and looking to speak with the business owner. They clearly didn't seem to grasp the time difference here in the UK.HMRCUK2 yearsDefinitely pretending to be HMRC. I've just blocked the number.HMRC2 yearsSCAM ALERT - definitely dont share your personal info with these people, just block the number straight away. They’re up to no good, involved in some kind of financial crime stuff. Stay safe!NOTBLOCK2 yearsTotally a con.2 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming to be from Advantage Ltd. They said they had my details from HMRC and that a letter would be on its way. The person sounded quite rude and just cut the call. I knew straight away it was a scam and didn’t take the bait.Advantage LtdHMRC2 yearsI usually just let the phone ring if I don’t recognise the number, like with 01782 401163. I just don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t know.2 yearsJust received a dodgy call claiming to be from HMRC. Total scam!HMRC2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be HMRC, sounded dodgy so I just ended the call straight away.HMRC2 yearsToday, we had a cheeky scammer ring our office, attempting to pull a fast one on the boss. Lucky for us, I wasn’t born yesterday, so they got nowhere near the higher-ups. Their caller claimed to be “phoning on behalf of HMRC.” Seriously? If it were the real HMRC, they’d know how to pick up the phone or send a letter properly! What a ridiculous ploy!HMRC2 yearsThe perils of the HMRC con are quite alarming. It's incredibly concerning how these fraudulent schemes are proliferating, targeting unsuspecting individuals with threats and deceit. One must remain vigilant and educated to safeguard oneself against such blatant scams.HMRC2 yearsI’ve just hung up the phone.2 yearsSomeone rang me, saying they were from HMRC, but it sounded dodgy from the start. They kept pushing for payment and threatening with legal action. I didn’t even give them a chance, told them to jog on.
