01147002294

I received a call earlier today, and they left a voicemail insisting that if either I or my solicitor didn’t return the call, we should brace ourselves for some serious legal ramifications. Naturally, I decided to ring them back, and to my astonishment, they were demanding £2900 due to some alleged tax discrepancies for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. The representative even suggested that I could consult one of their solicitors. Quite a turn of events, I must say!

Got a call that sounded like HMRC but was actually some dodgy automated scam trying to scare me. Suspicious much!

Received an automated call claiming to be from HMRC, warning that my account situation was dire and needed urgent attention, or else I'd have to involve a solicitor. Quite clearly a scam! I've blocked the number, but I’ll be sure to notify HMRC about this matter as well.

Got a call from some robot lady saying she was from HMRC, warning me of “consequences” if I didn’t get back to them. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!

Just had a dodgy automated call that was masquerading as HMRC. Do yourself a favour and block this number right away: 01147002294.

I received a call from a certain Ms Grey claiming to be from HMRC, just like countless others have reported. Is there truly no one capable of tracking down these scoundrels making these fraudulent calls? It’s absolutely infuriating! Some unsuspecting individual could be on the receiving end, perhaps even a vulnerable person who’s easily misled! I reckon we need to bring back some serious punishment for these offenders! 😡🤬

It's a con, so do yourself a favour and steer clear if this number rings you up.

Received a dodgy call from someone claiming to be from HMRC. This so-called "Katie" insisted that I had to ring their hotline urgently, or else I'd face some severe repercussions. Sounds like a complete scam to me!

Just a heads-up, the HMRC doesn’t make phone calls about outstanding balances; they prefer to send correspondence through the post instead. I’ve gone ahead and deleted this number and blocked it too.

I recently stumbled upon a voice recording of a woman from the States, alleging some sort of tax fraud. It certainly raised a few eyebrows!

I've received calls from this number on three separate occasions now, and I know others have too. Best advice: just hang up and don't engage.

Just wanted to alert everyone about a scam call pretending to be from HMRC. I've reported it through the appropriate channel. Here's the link if you need to do the same: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/nuisance-calls-and-messages/spam-texts-and-nuisance-calls/report-spam-texts-and-nuisance-sales-calls/. Stay vigilant, folks!

I've just received an automated message from HMRC, warning of potential "legal repercussions" if I or my legal representative don't return the call. What should my next steps be?

I echo the sentiments of others here. I let the call go to voicemail since I don't generally answer numbers that aren't familiar to me. That voicemail was yet another tactic employed by these con artists. Fortunately, I was well aware that I had no debts hanging over me, so I wasn't fazed in the slightest and chose not to return the call. Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to do a bit of digging, and honestly, the information I found doesn’t shock me one bit.

It seems I've received a rather alarming call purportedly from a robotic-voiced Jenny Grey, claiming to represent HMRC. She indicated that there could be legal proceedings if either myself or my solicitors fail to get back in touch.

Received a voicemail that sounded like it was from HMRC, warning about potential legal action if I didn't get back to them. Seemed dodgy to me, so I decided against calling back.

Received a dodgy call claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs.

I received a call from 01147002294, and the person on the other end claimed to be from HMRC. They were quite insistent, warning me that legal action would be taken if I didn’t return their call. It all felt a bit dodgy, to say the least!

I've dodged a scam from them; HM Revenue and Customs, or some such nonsense. Mrs Grey, how typical! Haha!

I've received yet another call claiming to be from an automated voice, identifying itself as Officer Grey from HMRC. It's actually the third time this has happened, but from various numbers. As my sister is part of HMRC, she looked into it and confirmed it's all a scam.

I've been getting calls from these chaps claiming to be from HMRC, and I must say, it definitely feels like a dodgy scam. They keep pestering me with their incessant ringing!

Got a call from someone claiming to be HM Revenue, said if I didn’t ring them back there'd be serious legal trouble coming my way.

Received two calls today claiming to be from HM Customs. Quite suspicious, if you ask me.

I received a rather dubious automated message that claimed to be from a Ms Grey at HMRC. It warned me about "legal repercussions" if I or my legal representative failed to return the call promptly. Quite the alarming tactic!

The Inland Revenue has demanded that I or my solicitor return their call right away, or we could be in for some significant trouble!

I've just received a rather alarming message from HMRC, insisting that I return their call without delay or risk facing some rather severe repercussions.

I quickly ended the call. It was some dodgy automated voice droning on about HMRC.

I received a rather dodgy call from an automated voice claiming to be from the HMRC, barking threats about dire repercussions if I didn’t return the call. Quite the alarming experience, I must say!

It’s quite amusing, really - I received a similar message to everyone else’s. What makes it even more hilarious is that I’m actually a serving police officer, and the call came through to my official police mobile phone. I was seriously considering returning the call as they suggested!

I quickly ended the call as soon as I realised it was a robotic voice droning on about HMRC.

Honestly, I'm in the same boat as most! I let it ring through to my voicemail, and what do you know? It was just some dodgy automated message. A rather poor effort, if I'm being frank! 😂

Like many others, I've received a dreadful voicemail that claims to be from HMRC. The tone was rather menacing, which could easily unsettle certain individuals. I've promptly added this number to my block list.

When I picked up the call, they informed me that I had a debt of £2900.86 owed to them. Now I’m feeling quite anxious since I’ve provided them with my full address, postcode, and date of birth, including my house number. It’s really getting to me!

They claimed I had an outstanding balance of a certain figure! When I requested a written confirmation to be sent through the post, they simply cut the call! Absolutely furious doesn't even begin to cover it!

Received a rather alarming call from an automated voice claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs. They spoke in a rather threatening tone. It felt quite unsettling, to say the least!

I've just received a rather dodgy phone call that didn't even ring properly. It’s clearly a scam - they insisted that I should call them back immediately or face the so-called consequences. They wanted to hear from either me or my solicitor. The whole thing was automated, and they didn’t even bother asking for my name! They claimed to be from some UK tax authority. Thankfully, I did a quick search on my computer and realised it was all nonsense, so I promptly blocked the number to stop them from bothering me again.

Received a dodgy call from someone claiming to be “Officer Dennis Grey”. Seriously, folks, don’t even think about ringing this number back! It had the distinct vibe of a call centre; you could hear all sorts of chatter in the background. The voicemail was some robotic nonsense rattling on about solicitors, absolute drivel. I foolishly returned the missed call before I’d even listened to the message. A human picked up with a thick northern accent, and I promptly hung up! Avoid this one at all costs!

I just received a rather urgent call from HMRC, instructing me to return the call right away or risk some sort of repercussions. Quite oddly, they wrapped it up with a cheerful 'have a lovely day' - very amusing indeed! It's hard to believe that proper civil servants would resort to such tactics in their communications.

Received a message claiming it was vital for me to return their call straight away regarding HMRC... sounds a bit dodgy to me.

The initial ring came in at 09:58, and then there was another at 14:30. By that time, I’d already taken the step to block the number, meaning my phone remained silent, but lo and behold, I still received a notification for a voicemail. Naturally, I had to endure yet another listen to that incessant automated voice. I've lodged a complaint (yet again) with HMRC through the government website.

I received a rather alarming phone call, urging me to return the call at once. The individual claimed to represent the government and brandished an ID badge, asserting that I owed them a staggering £2986, which echoed a similar narrative shared by another individual here. The woman I spoke with had a thick Indian accent and was exceedingly unpleasant, going so far as to threaten me with immediate arrest and legal action in the high court. Next, I was handed over to a man named Alexanda Lee, purportedly a high court official from the States. His manner was equally aggressive, and he informed me that there would be no time for me to investigate the ordeal; I was to expect an arrest and charges against me. Instinctively, I turned to this website for guidance and confronted him about the situation, to which he responded with derisive laughter, reiterating the threat of arrest. I found myself back with the original woman after insisting on clarification, but when I pushed her further, she abruptly hung up. Unsettled by the entire affair, I reached out to the non-emergency police number, 101, and secured a crime reference number while also reporting the incident to Action Fraud at 0300 123 2040.

The caller didn’t utter a word before disconnecting.

At precisely 9:37 in the morning on the 20th of January, I received a voice message from a female robotic tone on my answering machine. The message urged me to ring back a certain Dennis Grey, claiming to be an officer from HMRC, and warned me not to dismiss it or face dire legal repercussions. After a couple of hours, I decided to return the call at 11:56 AM, and found myself speaking with a chap sporting an American accent for an excruciating 11 minutes and 51 seconds. He made it abundantly clear that the call was being recorded and informed me of an alleged fraud and tax evasion claim lodged at the Royal Courts of Justice, stemming from my supposed disregard for a letter sent in November. I told him I hadn’t received any such correspondence, to which he insisted he had proof it was dispatched. The claim was supposedly aimed at me, and he inquired whether I had a tax solicitor on speed dial or preferred to discuss the claim during our conversation-again, pointing out that it was all being recorded and that anything I said might be used against me. I asked if he could liaise with my accountant instead. To my astonishment, he flatly refused, suggesting it could well be my accountant who had brought about this issue. He probed further about any problems I might have encountered with P45s, P60s, or P11Ds. I reiterated that I entrusted my financial affairs-both employed and self-employed-to my accountant and insisted that maintaining proper tax records was paramount to me. I was utterly baffled and increasingly anxious. Attempting to regain some control, I asked if he could email me the aforementioned letter. He agreed and I proposed to call back later, but he insisted he would ring me in an hour. I suggested that the following morning would suit me better instead. Just before ending the conversation, he inquired about which bank I dealt with, to which I disclosed the names of my two banks. However, he never followed up. The anxiety lingered throughout my day until I got home and attempted to call him again-no response. A quick internet search led me to discover alarming reports about scams mimicking HMRC. A wave of relief washed over me momentarily, but I promptly contacted my accountant who validated that it was indeed a scam. To make matters worse, I found this very number from which I had been contacted, laden with similar warnings from others. I reached out to one of my banks who reassured me that my accounts remained untouched, suggesting I register with CIFAS for alerts should anyone attempt to misappropriate my identity, as they had my full name, address, and date of birth. Though I felt somewhat reassured, I can't shake the feeling of having been thoroughly duped and shaken by the entire ordeal.

I had a rather peculiar experience with this number that I feel compelled to share. It all started with a morning phone call, which I promptly returned. Initially, I informed the caller that I had received a threatening communication from their number, only to be met with denial and a hasty disconnection. Undeterred, I received another call shortly thereafter. This time, a different chap claimed I was embroiled in tax evasion, ominously warning that the police would be at my door imminently to drag me in for questioning. I disclosed my name, but when he pressed for further details, I asserted my profession as a chartered accountant, stating that I'm often in contact with HMRC. I told him that unless he could validate his identity as a representative of the tax office, I would not divulge any personal information. To my astonishment, he responded by saying that since I had not confirmed who I was, the police would be arriving shortly due to my alleged fiscal misdeeds. I retorted that I would be reporting this to the authorities and suggested we would see whose door the police might actually come knocking on. With that, I hung up. This is clearly a fraudulent operation! I strongly advise against returning any calls from this number. HMRC would never communicate in such a threatening manner, no matter the situation. Best to block the number and just disregard it! I hope this information proves useful to others!
