Phone number ☎️ 02070974874 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance with calls coming from UK landlines but traced to Indian call centres, targeting people with fake claims of vehicle accidents or tax issues. Callers often impersonate insurance firms or HMRC, using believable but incorrect info to convince victims. Numerous callers hang up quickly when challenged, and voicemail scams use poor grammar and foreign accents. Many recognise these as scams and block the numbers, with some stressing the importance of reporting these fraudulent attempts via official channels. The calls involve pressure tactics, false warrants, and demands for compensation or personal information. This number is connected to ongoing scam operations that adapt by switching to new numbers once blocked, causing continued frustration for recipients.

6 yearsUgh, spent ages blocking them but they just ring up from new numbers all the time. Guess I'll follow the advice from that post on 05/11 and report them instead.6 yearsGot a call from these people saying I was involved in an accident that never happened. They claimed to be from an Indian call centre but hid their real location by using UK landline numbers. I’ve been blocking the numbers they ring from, but they just switch to other UK landlines or even mobiles. If you actually answer, they throw out names of genuine UK insurance firms, but they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about - the company they mentioned isn’t one I’ve ever insured with.UK6 yearsI chose not to pick up. Lately, I've been receiving loads of supposed HMRC calls. Just block them straight away, they're dodgy folks. Unless you're up for some fun, you can mess around and keep them on the line to waste their shady time.HMRC6 yearsGot a random call from a woman claiming to be 'Hazel', though honestly, it didn't sound like she was telling the truth. She said she was ringing from the 'Journal Insurance Bureau' about some car crash I never had. Instantly, I just ended the call. Typical ambulance chaser scam, just cold calling people. Best thing to do is hang up, don’t engage, and block the number.HazelJournal Insurance Bureau6 yearsWhen I get calls from numbers I don't know, I usually just let them ring out and go to my voicemail. Most times, there's no message left anyway, so I end up blocking the number.6 yearsDoes that Irish guy still recall the time he was ringing up random people about accident claims? Honestly, it was all on him in the end.Ireland6 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Irish accent who started asking my husband if he could recall an accident from a few years back. Thing is, my husband had no idea what he was on about because there wasn’t any accident at all. Once he said that, the bloke just cut the call sharpish. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.6 yearsGot a call about a car crash I'd been in last year. The caller seemed to know quite a lot, even had my reg number correct. They were going on about claiming compensation for the excess my insurance covered, saying it was money due to me. I kept telling them I wasn’t interested, but they just wouldn't take the hint. Kept pushing that it wasn’t anything to do with personal injury, just cash I had a right to. Repeated several times to take me off their list and stop calling.7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with HMRC and that there was a warrant against me for dodging taxes. Total scam!HMRC8 yearsJust got a message claiming to be from HMRC. Totally a scam, don’t trust it! Steer clear.HMRCBest8 yearsGot a call from what looked like HMRC but turned out to be scammers. Seriously, don’t ring them back. You should definitely report the number to the actual HMRC - maybe they’ll be sick of these crooks pretending to be them.HMRC8 yearsI got a call from a couple of blokes claiming to be from HMRC saying I had a warrant out for my arrest. They really stressed me out until I asked to speak with their boss, then they just hung up on me. Seriously, why don’t phone companies shut these numbers down as soon as people report them?HMRC8 yearsJust got a call saying there's a warrant out for my arrest over some tax dodging stuff. Honestly, I just told 'em to buzz off and hung up straight away.8 yearsGot a call from someone breathing heavy, kept asking me to send some pics. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.8 yearsGot a call today from someone pretending to be from the tax department, said I owed money after an audit or something. It felt really dodgy straight away, like a proper scam. Told them I’d check with my actual accountant and they kept trying to push me, but I just hung up.

Think I'll get in touch with HMRC just to be safe.HMRC8 yearsThey called me and when I returned the call, they said I had a warrant for not paying taxes or filing them.
