02079601500 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02079601500 👆 is reported as a highly persistent scam number frequently impersonating HMRC or the Supreme Court to threaten victims with arrest, fines, or legal action over alleged tax fraud or unpaid debts. Callers often use intimidating tactics, demand immediate payments via bank transfers or gift cards, and request personal and banking details. Many have noted aggressive behaviour and caller spoofing, sometimes involving fake badge numbers and case references. Targeted individuals report being pressured, distressed, and warned against talking to others during calls. Official agencies do not operate in this manner, frequently using outdated titles and ignoring proper processes. Victims are strongly advised to hang up immediately, never provide personal details or money, and report calls to Action Fraud and relevant authorities to help combat these fraudulent schemes.

2 yearsThis number keeps popping up in dodgy situations... this time pretending to be from Three, and they were really pushy, trying to get my bank info and other personal stuff. No way was I giving that out. Been with Three for years and they already got my details anyway. I just ended the call, then looked up the number right away. Every site I checked, including this one, flagged it as a scam and labelled it “Dangerous.” Definitely don’t trust it!Three NetworkThree3 yearsThey were demanding around 700 quid pretending to be from HMRC, giving fake case or warrant numbers. They even tell you to Google the number, and it comes up as the UK Supreme Court. You really need to stay sharp and watch out for these sorts of scammers.HMRCGoogleUK Supreme Court3 yearsI got a call from this number claiming I owed £3486 because of some tax error. The person on the phone said they were Officer Mark Ewans, showed a badge number 98560IR and gave some case number like 248/1965. It sounded serious at first, but later I realised it was a scam. They were really pushy and kept threatening me with arrest if I didn’t pay up right away.Mark Ewans3 yearsThis number rang me out of the blue and started threatening me. They seemed to know all my personal information and then asked for my bank details.3 yearsI got a ring from this number too. Someone’s pretending to be me with my BRP in Birmingham. When I asked how I should be sure, they told me to check it on Google, said it’s the Supreme Court's contact. Total scam. They wanted my BRP number and birthday. Dodgy as hell.BirminghamSupreme Court3 yearsScam alert!3 yearsOn 28th August, I got a ring from these scammers. The police here in the UK are useless, this con has been running for over 4 years and no one has been nabbed yet.UK3 yearsMy partner was really shaken up when she got that call, but thank god she managed to ring me, even though I was tied up in a meeting, before sending any money. I had to quickly reassure her it was just a con and there was no need to freak out. Please, everyone, report these fraudsters and warn your friends and family never to rush into payments over the phone, no matter if the caller claims to be from the government or someone you know. Honestly, it’d be great if the government ran some online campaigns to raise awareness about these scams.3 yearsI got a phone call from someone saying his name was David, he called me on a normal mobile number - 07477188263. Then he told me to answer a call from another number - 02079601500, which he claimed was from the Supreme Court. It was pretty intimidating, him saying I had to cough up £2000 to stop the police coming after me because apparently, I’d worked over 20 hours a week. He told me to look up that Supreme Court number on google, saying it’s the official number for the Supreme Court. Seemed really dodgy to me.DavidSupreme Court3 yearsGot a call saying I owe £2446 in unpaid taxes. Felt really dodgy and like a total scam! Never got any letter about it, so I'm just gonna block the number.4 yearsGot a call supposedly from HMRC but they kept saying Her Majesty instead of His Majesty, which seems odd since the Queen has passed away. Feels like a giveaway it’s not the real HMRC. They told me to press 1 or I’d be taken to court. Totally a scam in my opinion. I’ve reported it and will be blocking the number for good.HMRC4 yearsGot a call saying I missed my tax payment. Seemed dodgy to me, especially since I never got any official letter about it, so I just ignored and deleted the message.4 yearsGot a call yesterday, they wanted me to cough up £1780. Quite a shock!4 yearsGot a call today (09/03/2023) with an auto message saying it was from HM Revenue and Customs. Seems like they didn’t catch up with the latest news! I just ended the call, blocked the number, and made sure to report it.4 yearsGot a call from someone saying it was about tax recovery. They were really pushy and wanted me to pay £2800 immediately. When I asked them to send the info over email, they just hung up on me. Very dodgy, for sure.4 yearsGot a call from this number today - total scam! They claimed I had a case open and demanded I pay £1500 for something they called an immigration tax. Absolute rubbish!4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the court, but it turned out to be a total scam.4 years02079601500 called me, said it was HMRC about owing money. Got two people on the line, sounded Indian, a young bloke and a young lass. They wanted me to quickly pay up, but only through a Revolut transfer - not my usual UK bank. They asked me to send cash to Maksym B (@maksym73op). Definitely a tax scam as far as I’m concerned.HMRCUK4 yearsGot a call from a couple who sounded Indian, a young bloke and a young lass. They were telling me I owed some money to HMRC and needed to sort it out straight away. They wanted me to send the cash not from my usual UK bank account, but from my Revolut instead, to some Maksym B (@maksym73op). Total tax scam if you ask me.HMRCRevolutUKMaksym B4 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the Supreme Court, saying I owed tax for HMRC - total scam! The person on the other end spoke no proper English, which was weird. They refused to accept credit card payments and wouldn’t verify any of my info except my first name, like they didn’t even have my details. Stay well clear of this one!Supreme CourtHMRC4 yearsNearly got tricked into handing over a grand, they pretended to be from HMRC. Total con artists.HMRC4 yearsBeware, it’s definitely a scam. They started by ringing me from 02032340880, which I found out is dodgy too. During that same call, I got calls from 02079601500 and 01216813300, which look like they’re pretending to be Birmingham Crown Court. This is just one of those spoofing tricks scammers use.Birmingham4 yearssome bloke with an indian accent said he was Alex Martin. he just wanted my full name and where i live, then threatened me saying i could get 5 years inside and a £29,000 fine for dodging tax. got really shouty when i refused to give info 😂 kept ringing me after i hung up. when he called again, a voice from the court picked up and told me it’s a total scam! it all sounded proper convincing so watch out!Alex MartinIndia5 yearsThis call is definitely from HMRC trying to scam you.HMRC5 yearsI’ve looked this up, and this number is listed under the cafe at the Supreme Court, which is kinda weird. How on earth could someone fake that phone number? Seems dodgy to me!Supreme Court5 yearsJust ignore that call, it’s definitely a scam. Don’t bother replying.5 yearsI got a call saying there was some kind of warrant out for my arrest over tax stuff and then they told me I need to pay £1,000 using gift cards. Sounded totally dodgy to me.5 yearsGot a call outta nowhere with someone yelling about me being involved in money laundering and other stuff I didn’t even understand. Proper scary and rude, not what I expected at all.5 yearsI got a call telling me there was a warrant out for my arrest because of some tax fraud thing.5 yearsWATCH OUT - THIS ONE SEEMS REALLY LEGITIMATE. DON’T GET TRICKED!5 yearsGot a call from this number claiming I owed back taxes and needed to move money immediately. Turns out, it was a total scam! I couldn't believe they pretended to be from the supreme court. They gave me some names: - Anna Rose, officer (ID: 235285) - George Peter, officer (ID: 022015) They said to send cash to Mariana Ciobotaru’s account: - Account no: 69654611 - Sort code: 040075 Nearly got scammed out of nearly a grand. Be careful, folks!Supreme CourtAnna RoseGeorge PeterMariana Ciobotaru6 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from HMRC, telling me I'd be arrested for tax evasion. The weird thing is, I’m not even working right now. They then wanted me to pay £1000! Totally fishy if you ask me.HMRC6 yearsJust got a call from 02079601500, someone pretending to be from HMRC. They said I needed to pay £1000 immediately or I’d end up in jail for a week. They kept threatening that the police were on their way and I’d be locked up soon. Proper scam, watch out!HMRC7 yearsFirst, I got a call from 03062001077 claiming to be HMRC, then the number switched to 02079601500. They told me there was a fraud case against me, but their tone was super odd. They kept asking if I was on my own, which made me suspicious. I just hung up, but they kept ringing me again and again, so in the end, I had to block both numbers.HMRC7 yearsI got a call first from 03062001077, and the person claimed to be from HMRC. Then the number switched to 02079601500, and they told me I had some fraud case against me. The whole thing felt off, especially when they kept asking if I was by myself. I just hung up after that, but they kept ringing back nonstop until I finally blocked both numbers.HMRC7 yearsSo, I got a call from 02079601500 and then they moved me over to 02082001700. This bloke called himself Mike Fisher and said I’d be arrested in 20 minutes for fraud. He gave me some badge number, case ref, and a warrant number, then demanded I pay £1,736, with pricier options too if I didn’t comply. I told him I’d ring back to check, but this guy, who sounded like he was Indian, just hung up saying I’d be arrested in 20 mins. This was like 2 hours ago and here I am, writing this comment nicely :) Reported it to the cops already. At first, he was surprisingly believable though.Mike FisherIndia7 yearsI told them to hold on a bit as I was going to ring up HMRC to verify the details :DHMRC7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming I was part of some fraud thing. They quickly wanted all my info, which seemed super dodgy, so I just ended the call. The person spoke with a really thick Indian accent too!7 yearsGot a call from 02079601500 and 02062000034 today, someone threatening me with arrest over tax evasion if I didn't cough up £1985 right away. They said if I hung up, a warrant would be issued instantly. They also insisted that I couldn’t contact my accountant or HMRC because it was supposed to be “top secret.” Honestly, it was really scary. They wanted me to pay £900 on the spot to sort it out. The person had an Indian accent and the phone connection was very dodgy and crackly.HMRC7 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from HMRC and threatened to arrest my daughter over unpaid taxes. She ended the call straight away. They rang again and tried the same thing, but she blocked their number and got in touch with me. I'm an accountant and can confirm this isn't how it works. Just a heads up - don’t entertain these calls!HMRC7 yearsJust been told by my lad about these awful scammers ringing him up, claiming he's got an arrest warrant from the Supreme Court in London for unpaid HMRC fees. Complete con job! I checked with the UK Supreme Court myself, and they confirmed it’s a well-known scam. Make sure you look up their website and report anything dodgy like this!HMRCSupreme CourtLondonUKSC7 yearsTotally a scam, no doubt about it. They say they're from HMRC and claim you’ve got warrants against you, warning you about getting arrested or your bank accounts being frozen. It's just one big con. It’s crazy how people are falling for this stuff. They should let the Supreme Court know that this number keeps popping up pretending to be them.HMRC7 yearsI got a dodgy call saying it was from HMRC, telling me I owe like £3400 in unpaid taxes from 2014 to 2018 or something. Honestly, it felt sketchy cos they even knew my name, which creeped me out quite a bit. Definitely don’t get involved with these calls, it’s just a trap.HMRC7 yearsI got calls from 02079601500 and another one from 02062002287, both times claiming to be HMRC fraud officers named Simon York and Victoria Baker. They both had strong accents, sounded like they might be from India or Pakistan. The scammers told me there was an arrest warrant over me for tax evasion and demanded money to stop me from being arrested and having my accounts frozen. FYI, the police and HMRC know all about this scam.HM Revenue and CustomsSimon YorkVictoria BakerHMRCSubmit Your Own Report (020 7960 1500)
