5 yearsJust got a call saying my internet would be shut down in a day or two for "security reasons." They told me to press a number to talk to an agent but it sounded fishy, definitely a scam. Stay cautious!7 yearsOn the 13th of March, I got a voicemail from someone calling herself officer Claire Williams claiming to be from HMRC about some urgent issue. It was obvious rubbish though, sounded like a robotic scam, so I just ignored it. I’d tell anyone else to ignore these too - HMRC don’t reach out like that at all.Claire WilliamsHMRC7 yearsGot a call from some scammer acting like they’re with HMRC, saying all sorts of threats. The voice sounded like a robot with an American accent, which was weird. I didn’t understand what the scam was all about, so I decided not to ring back ‘cause it might’ve been one of those expensive premium line tricks. Proper dodgy.HMRC7 yearsJust like all the other reviews, it’s really frustrating. Same old story every time.7 yearsI tried ringing them back just to give them a piece of my mind but couldn’t even get a dial tone - totally dead!7 yearsComplete rip-off, nothing but a con.7 yearsThis number just rang me as well. It was one of those automated American voices, saying something about urgent and time-sensitive stuff from the tax office. When I tried to ring back, the line was always busy. Quite suspicious really.HMRC7 yearsGot a call from 01616961653, total scam. HMRC never gets in touch like that, so don’t bother returning the call. Stay clear of it!HMRC7 yearsGot a robo call saying they were from HMRC but sounded dodgy as hell. Definitely some scam trying to trick people into giving personal info. Ignore it!HMRC7 yearsGot a call early today from someone saying I owed taxes. I knew right away it was a scam, so I decided to mess with them a bit. When the woman mentioned the police were coming, I told her to go ahead and report it because she was clearly scamming. She ended up hanging up on me immediately after that.7 yearsGot a call from 01616961653 saying they were from HMRC and threatening trouble unless I paid up and called back. Total scam, no doubt about it. HMRC always sends letters, they never ring you out of the blue. Best to just ignore and definitely not call them back.HMRC7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Clare Williams from HM Customs, sounded American though. Bit suspicious if you ask me.HM CustomsClare Williams7 yearsGot a robocall claiming to be from HMRC yesterday.HM RevenueCustoms7 yearsI just got a call from HMRC but it was one of those robo messages, sounded totally fake.HMRC7 yearsGot a robo call from someone claiming to be HM Revenue - said something about Claire Williams and told me to ring back or there’d be legal trouble. Didn’t bother with it, seemed dodgy.HM RevenueClaire Williams7 yearsGot a call from some robotic American voice pretending to be HMRC. They warned me about legal trouble unless me or my lawyer called them straight away!HMRC7 yearsI just got a call from the number 0161 6961653, and it was that same "Claire Williams" with the weird American accent, sounded totally robotic. Honestly, if it wasn’t so dodgy it’d be funny. I mean, why on earth would HMRC ring you using some American-sounding robot? They normally just send emails with loads of security, not calls like this. And the way they were threatening about "dire consequences" - that’s not how HMRC normally talks at all. Seriously, someone needs to get rid of these scammers quick!Claire WilliamsHMRC7 yearsThey claim I owe a whopping £24,000. Funny thing is, I was abroad during that period paying taxes. They haven’t shown me any paperwork or proof. Now they’re even threatening me with arrest and jail time. Totally unfair!7 yearsI got a call from 0161 6961653 and it seems like it’s definitely a scam.7 yearsGot a voicemail from some automated system with a very obvious American accent, telling me I had to ring them straight away and not to just brush it off. Considering I recently got an email from HMRC which didn’t even have a proper link - just said to google stuff myself - it was pretty obvious this call was a scam.HMRCGoogle7 yearsI called this number and a guy with a foreign accent picked up, said his name was John Anderson and asked what I needed.John Anderson7 yearsGot a weird call where the person started threatening me just because I didn’t ring them back. Proper strange behaviour!7 yearsDefinitely a scam. HMRC doesn’t ring you up like that, they always send letters instead.HMRC7 yearsGot a robotic call telling me to ring the tax office, yeah right, no chance mate!Inland Revenue7 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HM Revenue, wanted me to ring them back. Total rubbish and so irritating!HM Revenue7 yearsGot a number that just kept cutting off the call, so annoying!Submit Your Own Report (0161 696 1653)
