02392160870 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02392160870 👆 is reported as a persistent scam where callers impersonate HMRC, using automated American-accented voices threatening arrest or legal action over alleged tax debts. Many recipients mention fake names like Claire Williams or John Parker and describe rude, confusing responses when questioning the call. Genuine HMRC never contacts by phone or uses automated messages for such matters, always sending letters instead. Callers often hang up abruptly or keep victims on expensive lines when returned. The harassment is distressing, especially for vulnerable or elderly people, and numerous reports highlight the calls originating from UK numbers linked to a known dubious company allegedly based in Portsmouth. Overall, these calls are widely deemed fraudulent, alarming, and manipulative, sparking calls for authorities to intervene.

Nobody from the government or any official organisation will ever ring you up on your mobile or landline to say you owe money, have messed up your taxes, or cheated the state. If you get calls or messages like that, just block the number straight away. It's important to warn your mates, relatives, and especially older people nearby so they don’t get caught out by these tricks. Let’s all help keep our community protected from these scams.

Got a call from 01331298947 telling me if I didn’t pick up, there’d be a warrant out for my arrest over tax fraud. Bit worrying!

Just a heads up, HMRC never sends texts or emails out of the blue! It's getting serious now because these scammers have started using this website pretending to be legit. Honestly, why don't they find a proper job instead of messing about with this? It's really getting dangerous out there.

I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know, so I just got a voicemail. The robotic message sounded pretty threatening, but I just ignored it. Still, I can see how it might really frighten some folks who are more vulnerable. They really need to be stopped.

This call was from some dodgy outfit named Wavecrest, supposedly a UK company. Their site makes you think you've stumbled onto some dodgy police drama or something. The voicemail I got said something like "The (mumbled) has rung today, don’t panic, we’ll be in touch," obviously trying to get me to phone back and waste my cash. What clowns. Honestly, if I bumped into these muppets out and about, I might just tail them and scratch a little reminder on their car windows with my key.

If you see the number 02392160870 pop up, don’t pick up. They called me really early, about 8 o’clock, and as soon as I heard that weird click on the line, I just hung up straight away. Definitely a scam, avoid!

I missed the call but later got a voicemail with a robotic voice saying it was HMRC and that I supposedly owe them cash. Just so you know, HMRC doesn’t ring you up out of the blue - they always send a letter first if you owe anything.

This is just wrong, the police really need to get involved with this. Also, the way they spoke was seriously intimidating, no government worker would speak like that. If I manage to figure out who did this, I’m definitely gonna do something about it.

Got a call just like loads of others, spouting the same rubbish. I work with the actual HMRC and they’d never use a robo call like that, plus they always send letters if there’s an issue. Wish I knew who these muppets are - they’d seriously have me chasing them down. Proper lowlifes, the lot of them.

Had a call just yesterday, and they told me there’d be big trouble if I didn’t ring back. I was pretty sure it was a scam, but I decided to humour them and see what nonsense they’d come out with. The bloke on the other end was really rude, sounded like he had a strong Indian or Asian accent, and said his name was John Parker. When I asked for proof or challenged him, he told me I was crazy and then just slammed the phone down!

Received a voicemail from a robotic voice claiming to be HMRC. Since I just started working for myself, I rang back. An Asian gentleman answered and I accidentally gave him my name but no other details! He claimed I owed more than £4,000 in unpaid tax from 2015-2016, though I was on PAYE then. When I asked how they calculated that amount, he just kept saying ‘because they did’ and then ended the call. Absolute con. Be careful everyone!

I got a call from Clare Williams on 02392160870, and she told me to wait around because I was supposedly about to be arrested. This sort of thing could easily scare someone who's already struggling. Best thing to do is just ignore it and block the number. It’s complete nonsense. I wish there was a proper HMRC contact where I could report these calls.
