Automated message 'Congratulations you have been selected to win £1000 or an iPad Pro'. I put phone down without choosing an option.

Fraud - Called me saying they were calling on behalf of my mobile provider - when I asked them why they were calling on an 07 number they said they had been contracted in. After that, I asked who my mobile provider was they said EE. Unfortunately, I am not with EE; and when I told them this I have never heard a man go quieter. They hung up on me after this.

SCAM - automated call accusing me of tax evasion and fraud, notification that a criminal case has been opened against me and the police are on their way.

not wanted

annoying calls.

silent calls

SCAM reporting to come from HMRC advising a warrant has been put out for an arrest and to press 1 to go through to who’s dealing with it - never asked for anyone by name just a machine. Highly unlikely HMRC would call they would write if there was a problem.

Another annoying call that went through to the answer machine, but no message left. As the number should be in Edinburgh I rang back only to be told the number was not in use, by someone with a strong American accent! NOT an Edinburgh number so suspect

RTC call.... hung up.

Fraud

Harringtons Advisory ltd. PPI and Pension calls. This company is now being investigated. Inwood House, 5 Castlecroft Road, Bury, Manchester. Their main phone number 0161 764 3020. They are using local area codes.

They claimed they were from Virgin Media and phoning about internet problems.

We have been called twice by this number. It is a digitally-generated message, not a human, stating that it is from HMRC and that an arrest warrant has been generated. The call was closed by our answering machine before it could be completed. There was the start of a list of options. My 10 year old answered the phone and was extremely worried that the police were going to be on our doorstep. I'm sure that it's a scam...at least I hope so.

Scam regarding a car crash that never happened, block.

Automated message (with an American Accent). Claimed to be HMRC and requesting immediate action from me or my solicitor to call the same number back. I’ve emailed HMRC to see if the number is legit, but I expect it to be a premium rate scam.

Lots of complaints about this online too. I refuse to answer.

HMRC Tax Scam

SPAM

Tried to tell me that they were from "Energy Care" and "assessors" would be in my area next week. When I asked them what they were assessing she mumbled something about Heat Loss. I suspect they're trying to flog cavity wall insulation or something. Asked them to remove me from their list.

SCAM

Seems to be used for some telemarketing call center - this range of numbers 1618142xxx (common feature, they use more numbers of the same range) is mostly reported with PPI, insurance claims, financial marketing. Just block it if not interested (I use the
