Earlier today, a series of calls from +44 1924 566 815 were reported as unsolicited and aggressive. The callers frequently claim to be from HMRC, offering tax refunds, PPI claims or life‑insurance adjustments, and often request bank details or personal identifiers. Such tactics are classic phishing scams; the apparent familiarity with names or addresses is usually obtained from public registers. Never share account numbers, sort codes, or passwords over the phone, especially if the call is unexpected. Hang up, block the number, and verify any alleged HMRC contact through the official website or by calling the genuine HMRC helpline. Report persistent attempts to Action Fraud or your phone provider.

Our house phone has received multiple calls from 01924 566 815, and since I didn't recognize the number, I let the answer machine take the call.
A man of Asian descent inquired about Mr. Barrett. This number hasn't been associated with him for over 14 years; I've had it since then and it's unlisted. Clearly a scam, connected to another call from 01235355110 asking for the same name.
I recieved two calls from this number in just two days
They claimed to be reviewing my life assurance policy with Aviva, but it's compleatly rubbish since i dont have a policy with them, scam call, block the number

It is advisable to avoid these scammers

An impatient woman hung up when I asked who it was. How are they using local area codes?

On 19/01/22 at 8:54 a.m., a foreign female voice asked for me by name. When I questioned who was calling, she became rude and hung up. With recent losses, these calls make me feel vulnerable.

Ive had calls from this number before, but never answered, because of the previous comments on here
Multiple calls from this number and another have come through on my landline today, with two more yesterday. I never answered any of them. The majority of landline calls I receive are spam or scams. It's frustrating since my number is ex-directory and I’m registered with TPS.
Despite blocking this number multiple times, they continue to call, having altered the last two digits, and on one occasion, they mentioned something about claiming money before I disconnected the call
A woman with a foreign accent, allegedly from HMRC, called claiming I had overpaid and wanted to deposit £500. She asked for extensive personal details, raising my suspicions, and hung up when questioned. My bank assured me the provided information couldn't be used to withdraw funds.
