Got calls twice from this number and 01618505157 today. The message said HMRC are suing me or something legal, but honestly, who falls for that rubbish? They really think people are gullible. These scam calls need to be stopped properly, it's just pure nonsense.

Like loads of others have said, we’ve been getting loads of calls from folks pretending to be HMRC. Just a few weeks back, my parents were about to go away on holiday and right before they left, they got some threats saying if they didn’t pay up, the police would come that very day to make an arrest. Funny enough, the police told us they already know about this scam going around.

Yesterday, my mum, who’s 85, got three calls from the number 0161 850 5974. A recorded voice, a woman, claimed to be from HMRC and said there was some kind of legal action going on against her, asking her to press 1. Luckily, she’s pretty savvy about dodgy calls and didn’t fall for it. I looked up the number on the HMRC site and it’s definitely listed as a scam. I’ve reported it to Action Fraud, the National Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting Centre, hoping they’ll crack down on it so others, especially older folk, won’t be tricked.

Here we have the latest contact number for the HMRC scam, fresh off the press. Previously, it was 01507823313, and before that, 01507823313... yes, the same number again. As others have rightly pointed out, this is a complete scam. However, I really hope that those behind it face their just desserts (or perhaps come back in the next life as rather unfortunate rodents). It's quite appalling how they manage to instil fear in vulnerable individuals. On a more positive note, I would like to suggest that a call blocker could be your trusty companion in dealing with these despicable scammers.

It is crucial that individuals who carry out scams of this nature be held accountable for their actions.

Please be wary of a recorded message indicating that HMRC is initiating legal action against you. The message advises you to press 1 in order to speak to your case officer. Falling for this scam has proven to have severe financial consequences for some individuals. Unfortunately, there have been reports in the local crime update of elderly individuals being swindled by this tactic. I strongly advise against pressing 1 as it could lead to a connection to a costly pay-per-second call service.

While at work, I recently received a phone call directly from a number claiming to be HMRC, informing me of a lawsuit being filed against me. The recorded message prompted me to press 1 to speak with an operator. Following the instructions, I found myself talking to an Indian woman who was specifically looking for someone named Peter Shavani. I requested that my number be removed from their call list and promptly reported the incident to our IT department, requesting them to block the number from contacting me again.

This isn’t the first time either - another number, 01507823273, called me constantly like 2 or 3 times daily over a few days with the exact same scam message.
