Be wary of unsolicited calls from this Manchester-based number, as they often involve aggressive tactics to extract personal details or payments. Reports highlight persistent ringing—sometimes twice daily—disrupting work or evenings, with callers pushing fake tax evasion claims, bogus car accident compensation, or dubious insurance renewals. Background noise suggests a call centre operation, and accents vary suspiciously, pointing to scripted scams. Hang up immediately without engaging; do not press buttons or call back. Block the number on your phone, report to Action Fraud, and notify your provider to curb these nuisances. If pressured, verify independently with official sources like HMRC.
Although I didn’t pick up, a quick lookup showed the number is flagged as a scam.
An Indian gentleman pitched an ECO upgrade before I blocked the call.
The person said they represented an eco firm, but the background was noisy, suggesting a call centre.
Avoid this number – report it to Action Fraud and your mobile provider.
Avoid this; it's a scam.
Received an automated message saying it was HMRC and asking me to call back about an alleged tax error.
I keep getting calls at least twice daily, buzzing me while I'm at work about taxes – proper pest, yeah?
I picked up expecting a job‑related message, but the caller claimed to be investigating an accident with Aviva – a company I have no policy with. After a confusing, lengthy chat, the line was dropped and a different‑accented voice called back. Absolutely infuriating.
Got a dodgy call claiming tax issues and a late fee they wanted me to pay – total scam, cheers.
I blocked the call because I never answer unknown numbers; checking it shows it’s a tax scam.
A Manchester number rang; I called back to confirm a real person and then hung up. A quick search on Wotcha flagged it as a scam, so I reported it.
It seemed like a scam, so I didn’t answer.
Today (23 June 2025) I got a call from 0161 520 2340. After a brief pause they answered, sounding like a call centre. When I asked who was calling, they claimed it concerned “your car accident.” I don’t own a car nor have I had an accident. I requested removal of my details from their database; they persisted until I repeated my demand more forcefully, after which they hung up.
A call came in early evening; I let it go to voicemail because I’m bombarded with scam calls daily. After checking, I blocked the number.
I didn’t pick up; after seeing reports here, I added the number to my block list like many recent callers.
I received a call about washing‑machine breakdown insurance, which I don’t have; they seemed unaware of any details – could be a scam, so I’m rating it neutral and advising caution.
They claimed I owed TalkTalk £2 after canceling my contract, then handed my number to Ardent, who now chase a £15 debt. I’ve moved house and blocked their calls, so that should be the end of it!
The message claimed I was under investigation for tax evasion and urged me to call a number.
