Phone number ☎️ 08000510176 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number targeting mainly older and vulnerable individuals with automated calls falsely claiming to be from HMRC about tax evasion or avoidance. Callers often use an American accent and urge recipients to press a button, which may result in costly charges or attempts to extract personal information. The calls cause distress and confusion but are confirmed by many users as fraudulent, with genuine HMRC correspondence being sent by letter, not phone. Users are advised not to engage, press any keys, or return calls to the number. It appears the number may sometimes be cloned, with legitimate unrelated organisations using it too. Authorities and telecom regulators are called upon to take action to protect the public from these deceitful practices.

6 yearsMy grandma got a call from some dodgy lot pretending to be from Natwest. They told her to ring another number to 'verify' her bank details. Total scammers, pure and simple.NatWest Bank9 yearsWATCH OUT, All these calls claiming to be from HMRC are just scams! Every one I’ve gotten has been a fake, they record everything but it’s all a con!!!!!!HMRC9 yearsMy answerphone had a voicemail saying I was being accused of tax evasion and avoidance, it was in a clear American accent. I was shaking and totally freaked out at first, but then my partner told me it wasn't from HMRC and that I shouldn't worry about it.HMRC9 yearsLike others have said, I got a call and just let it ring out to voicemail. The message claimed I was involved in tax fraud - seriously, how could they possibly know that? Luckily, I looked up the number online first, or I’d have been proper worried. It’s definitely a scam. If only the Government put more effort into shielding people from these con artists instead of all the other stuff that ends with them stepping down, maybe people would trust them more.9 yearsI got a call from this number about ten minutes back and honestly, I was a bit freaked out at first. Luckily, sites like this are a lifesaver. Once I looked it up here, I realised it was just another scam. My heart goes out to the older or more vulnerable people who might get fooled by these nasty scammers. Why isn't there more done to stop these dodgy characters? It’s really frustrating.9 yearsGot a phone call saying there was a complaint against me for dodging taxes, though they never gave a name or any real details. It freaked me out at first, but after taking a look on this site, I realised it was just another scam. Honestly, I don’t get how these con artists live with themselves. Such a nerve!9 yearsI just got a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC about VAT and said they were taking legal steps against me for tax evasion. Being an accountant, I knew straight away that VAT stuff doesn’t usually link up with tax evasion cases, plus they’d have sent loads of letters first before jumping to legal threats. Also, the message had a really obvious American accent, which was a big red flag.HMRCVAT9 yearsMy grandad's 98 years old and he just got one of those automated calls from HMRC. Can you believe they’re targeting folks his age? Ridiculous.HMRC9 yearsI've had this number ring me three times within just a couple of hours, each time playing the same recorded message accusing me of tax evasion. I retired over a decade ago, so this is total rubbish. Whatever you do, don't press any buttons on your phone if they ask - I reckon that just lets them mess about with your line. Sounds like they might be calling overseas, maybe India or somewhere similar, which could lead to crazy phone bills. Stay clear!India9 yearsFound three messages on my voicemail from this number when I got home, all saying I'm being accused of tax evasion. Pretty sure my accountant would have mentioned something if that was true!9 yearsGot a call from 08000510176, sometimes it shows up with the prefix 00144. The person says they're from HMRC and accuses you of tax evasion or dodging taxes. Definitely sounds fishy to me.HMRC9 yearsJust like lots of others, got a call from HMRC. I can imagine it panics anyone who's dodging their taxes. Still, it's definitely one of those scams.HMRC9 yearsIn just 15 minutes I've already got two calls from them and I’m not picking up, no way after seeing this. Bloody nuisances.9 yearsI got a robo call supposedly from HMRC saying there was some sort of claim against me, then told me to 'Press 1' for more details. I just stayed quiet and after a short pause the call ended. I’m left wondering if hitting 1 would’ve racked up expensive phone fees, which seemed to be the point? Or maybe they would try to trick me into handing over money? Either way, I reckon going down that route would be risky. Still, I bet some folks who’re more easily scared might panic and feel the need to find out more.HMRCPress 19 yearsGot a recorded message twice this morning from a strange overseas voice, sounded proper threatening, saying there’s an issue with me about tax evasion or something. They keep telling me to press 1 for details. Like others have said, calling back would probably cost you a bomb. What’s OFCOM actually doing to stop these dodgy calls?OFCOM9 yearsGot calls from 08000510176 twice today, saying they were from the tax office. I’m pretty sure HMRC never phones you on your mobile or landline. They always send letters first. They wanted me to press 1 to talk to someone but I ignored it. Don't fall for it!HMRC9 yearsI got a voicemail from 08000510176 but just ignored it at first. Then I called back and the answerphone said it was National Travel Insurance. Makes me wonder if someone has cloned their number or something?National Travel Insurance9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming HMRC had a complaint against me and that I was being investigated for tax evasion. Lucky for me, I wasn’t falling for it and just ended the call, but I can see how it might panic some folks.HMRC9 yearsGot another call from a withheld number, definitely the same scammer. Watch out everyone!9 yearsGot a call from some idiot rambling about a Court thing or whatever, saying to dial a number for details. Complete rubbish, total waste of time.[###]essage deleted.County Court9 yearsMy elderly mate got a couple of calls from this number, with someone saying she was in trouble for tax evasion. Luckily, she just hung up straight away. It’s pretty annoying to see others getting these calls too and makes you wonder if anything’s actually being done to stop it?9 yearsGot a robo call the other day claiming there's some sort of legal stuff with tax evasion going on and telling me to press 1 to hear more. Seems like a sneaky way to charge you loads for the call, so I didn’t even bother pressing anything.9 yearsGot a call this morning at 08:09, and it wasn’t the first time. A few days back, I had a similar call but from another number. Only difference this time was a bloke answering instead of a lady. Being a former chartered accountant myself, I'm pretty sure I’ve got no tax issues to worry about.9 yearsSomeone called me asking if I had savings of 5 grand or more, talking rubbish about tax evasion or something.9 yearsGot a recorded call a few days back, said it was from HMRC, came from a number like 0161 354 0608. Looks like they're trying different numbers now!HMRC9 yearsReceived a call earlier today claiming they were in the process of submitting a tax claim, urging me to press 1 to connect with an operator. The voice on the other end had a distinctly American twang.9 yearsGot a couple of calls this morning from someone saying I’m being sued for not paying taxes for ten years. I haven’t even paid tax ‘cos I’m retired and get tax credits. Ended up blocking the number straight away. They rang me twice before I did that.9 yearsI just received another call from this number around 8:42, claiming they’re launching a case against me for tax evasion and urging me to press 1 to connect with an agent. The voice had an American twang, which definitely didn't sound like the UK tax office. Quite the dodgy business, if you ask me!UKSubmit Your Own Report (0800 051 0176)
