I've been inundated with unsolicited calls from 0161 791 9827, with the caller purportedly representing the Inland Revenue. They insist that I return their call or risk facing some sort of legal repercussions. Frankly, I suspect it’s all a scam! This ought to be officially reported.

It’s absolutely astonishing how these charlatans continue their despicable attempts to swindle those who are most at risk of losing their hard-earned money. Regrettably, it appears they’ve cut off my calls as I’ve taken to persistently bothering them. The more of us who can manage to bar their number, the fewer chances they’ll have to trick some unsuspecting victim. These lowlifes ought to be apprehended for their deceitful actions. If anyone’s reading this, I urge you to ring the number mentioned above as frequently as you can until they choose to block you. It’s high time we take a stand against these fraudsters. (They’re certainly not artists; they're just vile creatures.)

I received a dodgy phone call where a so-called representative from HMRC was using a robotic voice, insisting that I get in touch with them immediately or "face the repercussions." Just a heads-up, HMRC always communicates via traditional mail when they wish to reach out. This caller is definitely a con artist!

It appears these so-called HMRC jokers are persistently attempting to dupe those in a precarious position out of their hard-earned cash. Regrettably, they've managed to block my calls, as I've taken it upon myself to give them a taste of their own medicine. The more we shut them down, the fewer chances they have to swindle some unsuspecting individual. These lowlifes ought to be brought up on charges of fraud. To everyone who comes across this, don't hesitate to ring the number above as frequently as you can until they refuse to engage with you. It’s high time we stood up against these fraudulent parasites. They may call themselves something fancy, but at the end of the day, they’re nothing but vermin. - caller: S.C.U.M

Funny as it sounds, these calls could really scare someone older or more vulnerable. The scammers aren’t very good either. Sometimes I ring them back and tell them I can’t talk because their mum or sister is actually here with me, and we’re “busy”. That seems to throw them off a lot, and they end up swearing down the line. I can’t help but laugh my head off, which just seems to wind them up even more. I like to think that every minute I waste on these calls is one less minute they have to try and scam someone else.

Someone rang me pretending to be from HMRC. I asked them how I could be sure they were legit, and they told me to look up the number online and then call back. They also said something like, “We don’t need to prove who we are.” I refused to give any details over the phone and asked for something in writing instead. Just now I stumbled upon this number here.

When calls start with things like "Officer Annie Davis here" and white trying to make it sound urgent with "this is a time sensitive matter", it really comes off as pretty scary and intimidating. They also threaten saying stuff like "if you or your lawyer don't respond, you'll face legal action". To me, that feels like outright bullying, and I reckon this type of thing should definitely be flagged to the police fraud unit. Does anyone have any idea the best way to report these calls?

My partner got a call from some automated voice claiming she owed unpaid taxes and that she'd be arrested soon. The bloke pretended to be from HMRC and pressured her to cough up £1300 immediately or face the coppers showing up within the hour. Total nightmare, these scammers are ruthless! Stay alert everyone!

Got a call from this number and some American lady robot voice said I owed cash to HMRC. She warned that if I or my lawyer didn’t get back to them, I'd be in big trouble legally. She wrapped up by cheerily saying 'have a nice day' - proper dodgy!

When someone calls saying stuff like "I'm OFFICER Annie Davis," or that the call is "Urgent" and warns "if you or your legal advisor don't respond, legal action will follow," it just feels really intimidating and aggressive. I think this kinda thing needs to be reported to the police fraud unit. Does anyone have any idea how I could do that?

I received a rather disturbing automated message supposedly from the HMRC, instructing me to ring a particular number regarding an urgent issue. Upon returning the call, a person on the other end answered, introducing themselves with “Hello, HMRC.” They proceeded to inform me that, within the next thirty minutes, the Revenue and Customs would be initiating proceedings against me for tax evasion. They went on to say that I could face prison time and potentially be liable for a hefty £20,000 in costs, among other threats. When I asked the individual to verify my identity, they inquired whether I had access to the Internet to authenticate their claim of being from HMRC. I informed them that I did not have such access, to which they responded rather unhelpfully, suggesting I should call back once I had internet access, so that they could validate their identity to me. Quite the dodgy scenario, if you ask me!

Just tried calling but it says the number can’t be reached. Maybe loads of folks are calling and jamming their lines. I’ll keep an eye on it to see if it pops back up, might just be a temporary pause. If it does, I’ll share it here and on social media so we can keep up the pressure. We’ve got to protect people from scammers trying to take their hard-earned money.

There’s been a load of scammers pretending to be from HMRC ringing people up, telling them they owe a big sum of money. What’s dodgy is they ask for payment through Amazon gift cards or other digital codes you can get from shops on the high street. Be careful, it’s definitely not legit!

I tried calling them loads of times today but just kept getting a busy tone. Bit annoying as I was actually enjoying messing with them. Might give it another go tomorrow, but honestly, I reckon the legit HMRC ought to look into this since it’s pretty dodgy these scammers pretending to be them.

I've been returning their calls from blocked numbers. They gave me the name Steven Wyatt, sounds like he might be from the India/Pakistan area judging by his accent. I even joked about getting loads of people to ring them regularly just to waste their time. Steven threw down a gauntlet, saying I couldn’t do it. If anyone fancies teaming up to tie them up on calls and maybe stop one poor person losing their savings to these crooks, hit me up and we’ll ring 0161 791 8280 together. I’m using my free minutes, so no harm done!

Stephen, Mark and Jennifer seem to be part of some scam gang operating on Saturdays, trying to rip you off. They’re well organised, working non-stop. I’d definitely call them back and keep them busy, use an auto redial on your phone to waste their time and your call credit. Don’t bother hiding your number, it’s pointless since they just block calls from private numbers anyway. Good way to have a bit of fun with these lot!

We got a call from this number, and they were saying we owe a massive £180,000 and threatened to take us to court and freeze all our accounts. When we asked them to explain where the debt came from, they mentioned an old job but didn’t give us any clear details. Then, out of nowhere, they said they’d contact the employer and just ended the call. Honestly, it felt really dodgy and pretty frightening!

Got a call on my landline from this number earlier. It was an automated voice with an American accent claiming to be Annie Davies from HMRC. She said I had to get in touch with them straightaway or they’d start legal action against me and I'd be in serious trouble if I didn’t call back. What really gave it away as a scam was that she ended by saying have a nice day. Too fake!
