Callers use scare tactics, threatening legal action or account termination, urging recipients to respond urgently. Genuine HMRC communications are always via postal mail, never phone calls, texts, or emails, making these calls fraudulent. Many users emphasise ignoring or hanging up immediately, warning the calls target vulnerable individuals and can be distressing.

Reports also recommend not returning missed calls or voicemail messages and highlight legal protections against unsolicited automated calls. Overall, this number is best avoided and treated as a scam intended to provoke fear and coerced responses.

Got calls from this number two times already. Honestly, they're just a pain. Best to just hang up and forget about it.

I got a call from 01438 016561 at about 2.56pm just now. A woman’s recorded voice told me she was from some Cyber Crime team, saying my internet was hacked loads of times and if I didn’t press 1 to get help online my broadband would be cut off in an hour. Of course, I hung up straight away and didn’t press a single button!

Got a weird recorded call from a woman claiming to be Dennis Grey at HMRC telling me or my lawyer to ring them back or else there’d be trouble. Reported it straight to HMRC. Funny thing is, a few days earlier I got the exact same message but from another phone number.

Got a call from 01438 940 575 claiming to be from HMRC. The pre-recorded message was really intimidating, but it’s just a way to scare you. HMRC don’t ring you up out of the blue - they always contact you through proper written letters sent by post. They won’t phone, text or email you first. If anyone calls saying they’re from HMRC, just hang up on them. Only take it seriously if you receive something in the post from the real HMRC.

Got a call from someone claiming to be HMRC, sounded really scary and said I was in trouble with criminal law or something. Honestly, it felt like a scam. Definitely don’t answer if they ring you!

Got a call from 01438 940575 with a scary recorded message, telling me it was urgent to ring back their HMRC “agent” and gave a number to call. I didn’t bother returning it. From what I know, HMRC never phone you - they always send letters instead. Definitely a scam.

Got a call from 01438 940575 with a recorded message that sounded pretty scary, saying I had to ring back an HMRC person urgently. They left a number for me to call, but I just ignored it. HMRC always send letters, they don’t ring you up like that.

Got a voicemail with some warning about “facing consequences”. Just a heads up, HMRC never rings you like that, so best just to ignore it.

Got a robo call supposedly from HMRC, really aggressive saying I must ring 01438940575 or face some consequences. This is annoyingly the third time in just 3 days, the other calls came from 01618504122. Being in my seventies it's pretty distressing. They seriously need to be dealt with, then maybe they'd be the ones facing consequences.

Got a recorded message saying I’d get a letter from solicitors. I called the number back and asked which firm it was from. After I repeated the question a few times, the person just hung up on me.

Just like the earlier comment said, don’t pay any mind to these threats.

Just ignore it! If someone who's vulnerable got this kind of call, it might come off as really scary.

I received a recorded message urging me to call a specific number that mentioned a solicitor. They didn’t address either my wife or myself by name, but it definitely left us feeling rather anxious about what it could be regarding.

Like a few others mentioned, it was a voicemail saying it was HMRC. Didn't hang on to hear the whole thing though.
