have called twice this week and received a poorly constructed letter saying i am due HMRC money called HMRC they said any unrecovered tax would be claimed through my PAYE. So not sure how this company got my details would say this is a scam. If in doubt check your PAYE accounts people
Call from Advantis who legitimately work on behalf of HMRC amongst others
They said they were HMRC, they would like to check personal data for security. But no reason for calling. Sounds like scam call
Call from Advantis, debt recovery company.
Calling on behalf of HMRC
I had a suspicious text message purporting to be from a company called Avantis who were now managing my HM Revenue & Customs a/c. They gave a telephone number 01782 35 44 07 and a ref number. I googled Avantis which appeared to be a professional website for a debt collection company. Their telephone number was 01782 401100. I called them to see if I could find out anything about them. I gave the ref no. but as I wouldn’t give my details they said they couldn’t discuss the details with me. They said they would write to me. I’m 100% sure this is a scam but will be interested to see what comes in the post!
A Message from Advantis - claiming to have taken over my HM Revenue account... utter rubbish!!
They phone twice a day while I am at work, asking for payment for something that has been paid in full. They say that if you phone back they will ask you security questions to check your identity. I don't want to answer security questions from a company who are asking for money that i know for a fact has been paid so I can't help them out by advising that it has been paid. They may be a scam or they may be an actual company with inaccurate info.
the message : we wrote to you about your HM Revenue & Customs account. Please take action. Pay or view options at advantiscredit.co.uk using ref code (8 digits) ... or call 01782 35 44 07.... The same message has been sent to my phone twice with a week's interval in between. Definitely a scam, I will block the number now.
No one spoke so I put the phone down
I’ve started screening incoming calls on my phone. The transcribe said “ This is a message from Atlantic. Please ring us back on 01782971403. Number again. 01786 971403. Thank you.” I have no idea who they are and what they want so I’m going to block it.
For the attention of General Enquiries Automated message saying this is a personal business matter, to find out more contact Avanta on 01782401193. The number they called from was 01782 354407. The number is from Stoke on Trent.
