Phone number ☎️ 01916912765 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from various numbers starting with the same area code, falsely claiming to be from HMRC or energy suppliers to deceive individuals into sharing personal or financial details. Callers often allege tax refunds, overdue payments, or fraudulent activity to create urgency. Several people have noted multiple daily calls, aggressive or evasive behaviour, and immediate hang-ups when challenged. The consensus is not to engage or answer such calls, as HMRC never initiates contact about refunds by phone.

HMRC will seriously NEVER ring you up out of the blue about a tax refund - if anyone says that, they're probably up to no good and you ought to let the police know straight away. I didn’t pick up when they called, so I don’t have any proof of what was said - just blocked the number and got rid of it.

i got two calls from this number yesterday, the person said they were from hmrc. today, the same number rang again, but this time the caller said they were from octopus energy and tried to trick me into giving my bank info to switch my energy provider for a better deal. when i started telling them they had called me the day before pretending to be hmrc, the bloke just cut me off straight away.

This number has been calling me quite a bit recently, like multiple times over the last week. Just tonight alone, it rang twice in about 30 minutes. Honestly, I think this number feels pretty sketchy!

some bloke rang sayin he was with octopus energy, wanting to check my energy usage. i told him i’m not the one who pays the bills and the person who does wasn’t around. i also asked him to take my phone number off their list. guess we’ll see if they actually do it or not.

I chose not to pick up as the call was from Tyneside, just like someone else who kept pestering me. I had a look into it, and found out it’s related to an HMRC scam. I've got a hunch this might be yet another attempt at the same con, just using a different number this time round.

I got a call from someone claiming I was owed a tax refund, trying to pin me down for my personal info to send the money. I told him there was no way, as I actually owe HMRC because of an error with my company car records. As soon as I mentioned that, he started yelling and then just slammed the phone down! Total scam.

They use different phone numbers all the time but it’s still the same old scam.

My phone’s been blown up with calls showing as possible fraud, so I just let it ring out. After looking into it, I figured it’s one of those HMRC scams, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

Just got a call from this number claiming I owed a tax refund, which sounded dodgy right away. Then, barely a few minutes later, a woman rang from the same number saying I had to clear an overdue bill in a week! She mentioned sending me a form through email and wanted me to confirm my email to make sure it’s the right one. I asked her what details she actually had on file about me, and she just cut the call. Classic scam attempt if you ask me.

Got a call saying I’m involved in some fraud tax court case, but I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.

Some bloke called claiming he was an electrician, said he'd be around my neighbourhood next week and asked if I needed any repairs done. When I asked him to tell me my address to prove who he was, he just went quiet. Pretty rubbish if you ask me.

Got a call from someone saying they were from HMRC, claiming there was some fraud linked to my details and asked me to press 1. sounded fishy to me.
