So, this afternoon I got a call from someone named John Morrish using the number 01612409238. He claimed he was calling from HMRC and told me there was a court case coming because I supposedly owed £4500. He asked me to log into Government Gateway with him so we could sort out the debt and stop the court stuff. At first, it sounded really genuine, but as we went on, I started to feel something was off.

I got a call from someone who sounded like a Carol Baker but with this weird American accent, kinda like Melania Trump on some sort of voice boost.
