This one looks like a proper con, quite clever actually. I reckon it could easily fool older folks without much tech knowledge.

Got a call from someone pretending to be HMRC and they were threatening me! It’s really worrying how not everyone can spot these scams straight away.

Completely dodgy. Why doesn’t the government step in and sort this out instead of fussing over silly rules all the time?

This is definitely a con. They called me again this week from another number, pulling the exact same stunt.

I can't believe it, HMRC is supposedly taking legal action against me. When on earth will these fools be held accountable?

Got a call today not once but twice telling me I have legal action from HMRC. They said to press 1 if I wanted to talk to someone about my case. Pretty annoying!

I'm positive this isn't really HMRC calling because there's no way they’d choose to contact you through a text message if it was something serious :)

These scammers pretending to be from HMRC are everywhere, don’t get tricked! Make sure your whole family knows about this and keep a list of these dodgy numbers somewhere safe. You should even think about reporting them to your MP because honestly, that’s the only way we’ll see an end to these annoying calls.

I recently received a rather alarming phone call from this number, claiming they were pursuing a case against me on behalf of HMRC. Interestingly, a few weeks back, I endured another call from the same individuals, insisting there was a warrant out for my arrest. What a palaver!

I received a call today, the 20th of November 2018, from a number claiming to be HMRC, stating that they were initiating legal action against me. It was a robotic voice instructing me to press a button to discuss the matter with a representative. I decided to terminate the call, as I’m well aware that if there were any genuine issues, HMRC would reach out through email or a formal letter.

Like a bunch of others here, got the same kinda call. Seems like everyone’s been getting these dodgy numbers ringing up. Honestly, I’m starting to think they’re all connected or something. Proper annoying though!

Got a call saying I’m involved in some legal case. They didn’t say which company or anything, just kept threatening me about court. Sounds dodgy to me, so I didn’t bother answering after the first time. If it’s legit, they’d surely send a proper letter, right? Feels like just another scam.

Got a robo call pretending to be from HMRC, plus another one from 0161 850 5157. Looks like a total scam to me, but it’s quite worrying thinking about older or vulnerable folks who might fall for it.

I got a call from 0161 850 5157 too, but I’ve heard these scammers use loads of different numbers. I checked with HMRC and they told me they're on top of it and looking into it. Best thing is just to hang up and don’t bother with it.

I got a call from what said to be HMRC, similar to what others have mentioned. When I tried ringing back, I could hear the call being passed onto another phone, but then an American accent came on and said they couldn’t answer right now. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

This was a total scam, and it really upset my elderly mum. She was so stressed and upset after getting the call, it was really worrying to see her like that.

Person said they were from HMRC and kept pressing about some unpaid tax after loads of letters were sent. Then they went on saying there’s a warrant out for my arrest. I rang the local police station to verify, and turns out no warrant existed. The police refused to log it as a crime, which is a bit worrying. I’ve asked them about that...

Got a call from 0161 850 5157 at about 2:18 pm with an automated message telling me to press 1 to speak to a case officer. This number is a total scam, don’t ever ring it back. The police really need to step in and put an end to this nonsense.

So I got a call from someone saying they were from HMRC, just like the comment above. I tried calling the number back and it sounded like the call was getting passed through to another line, then an American voice came on saying they couldn’t answer right now. Bit suspicious, if you ask me.

Got calls from someone saying they're from HMRC about unpaid taxes after loads of letters. Then they went on about some arrest warrant out for me. I rang the local police station to check and surprise, no warrant at all. The police said they're not even logging this as a crime, which is odd.

Got a call earlier from someone threatening me with a lawsuit from HMRC about unpaid taxes. I'm retired so I quickly figured it was just a scam. They even left a message on my answerphone.

Earlier today, at precisely 4:40 PM, I missed a call. Upon checking, I found a recorded message stating that “HMRC has initiated legal proceedings against you. Please press 1 to connect with your case handler.” Naturally, I didn't place that call, so I investigated the number I got via 1471. That led me to this website, prompting me to share my experience here.
