02008880970 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02008880970 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting individuals with automated messages and live callers claiming to be HMRC officials. Callers, often using names like George Walton, allege tax fraud investigations and home surveillance to intimidate recipients into contacting them. The scam involves pressure tactics, including threats of legal action, arrest, and demands for legal representation. Many victims confirm the calls are fraudulent, with suspicious behaviour such as immediate hang-ups when questioned or inability to verify identities. It is strongly advised to ignore or block these calls and never provide personal details or payment. Genuine HMRC contact will not threaten or demand immediate payment via phone. Reporting these calls to relevant authorities and telecom providers is recommended to help combat this scam.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with HMRC’s "tax department," threatening to sue me. Yeah, right. Total scam, make sure you report these dodgy calls wherever you can!

I got a call from someone named George Walton who gave a badge number PD71195, using the number 02038722318. He told me I was being looked into for tax fraud and asked if I had a lawyer. When I told him I wanted to check his info online, he just cut the call. Felt really dodgy to me.

Got a call from someone named George Walton. The first time it was just a robotic message telling me my home was being watched or something. I rang the number back and quickly realised it was a total scam!

I got a call from a number kind of like 02080390972 and I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now. They actually left a voicemail, but it was some robotic voice saying they were from the DWP and that my house was being watched or something. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Got a voicemail telling me not to ignore it. When I rang back, the bloke said he was from HMRC, but then suddenly switched it up and said I must've given him my number. He knew my name too, which was pretty odd.

I got a missed call from this number and kinda just called back without thinking much. The person on the other end told me I was being investigated. I figured it was probably a scam but I had already dialled back. Now I’m worried if I’m gonna be charged for the call and how much it might cost for just a short time on the phone. Anyone know anything about this?

I got a call from some robot woman voice telling me I’m a main suspect in a tax case with HM Revenue, and that they are watching my house! Told me to ring back. How on earth do these scam numbers get to keep running by the authorities??

I ended up blocking the number right after hanging up. Honestly, no legit company would call you to say you’re under surveillance - it’s just not how it works.

Just like loads of others have said, I got a voicemail from this number not long ago. A woman’s voice said I was the main suspect and that my place was being watched. The sound was terrible, so I couldn’t even tell what country the call was from. Naturally, she wanted me to ring back immediately. I looked up the number straight away and came across this website. Really useful, cheers!

Got a voicemail saying my house is being watched and to ring 0208880970. When I called, some bloke called George Walton answered. Then the line kept dropping, and when I tried phoning again, I just couldn’t get through. Feels like a total scam to me!

Got this dodgy voicemail telling me not to ignore it because apparently I’m being watched. When I rang them back, some bloke answered and asked if I had a decent lawyer. I asked why and he just shut up and hung up sharpish. Tried calling back loads of times but no luck. Pretty sure it’s a total scam and nothing to do with HMRC.

I got a phone call from 02008880970 accusing me of being involved in some sort of crime. When I rang back, a guy who said his name was Shaun Parker picked up but hung up right after introducing himself. It’s clear this is a scam. The police really need to get on top of this and lock these people up.

Had another call this week from a number threatening prosecution and claiming I’m being watched, just like loads of others have said. I’ve now blocked and reported both numbers. It’s definitely a scam. Best thing to do is just disregard the calls and block them straight away.

Just had a weird automated message on my phone today. It said I needed to ring them straight away or else legal action would be taken against me. Problem was, the message didn't mention who it was from at all. Pretty scary if you’re not aware it’s a scam or something dodgy.

Got a call the other day saying I was being investigated for tax evasion and I needed to pay right away over the phone. They even asked if I had a solicitor or barrister to defend me! I was about to hand over my bank info because I got really worried, but luckily I searched online first. Then I rang HMRC myself and found out it was all just a total scam!!

Got a recorded message from this number - definitely a scam. Best to avoid ringing back!

Don't bother returning their call! It’s obviously a con, especially when they start saying you’re being watched. If you were actually being investigated, they wouldn’t just ring you up to tell you. Total rubbish.

Got a missed call from 02008880970 today. After searching it online, turns out it’s from Flextel Limited based in London. Seems like a scam to me. They say it’s from HRME or something like that, which could really frighten people who don’t know any better.

I got this dodgy automated call saying it was from HMRC and that I was gonna be taken to court. I called the number back and some bloke picked up but quickly ended the call. Tried again, same guy answered but the moment he realised it was me ringing back, he just hung up straight away. When I asked if he was the only one working there, he just went quiet and hung up. Pretty shifty behaviour if you ask me.

Honestly, I hope they don’t reach out to anyone who might be easily upset by stuff like this - it’s really frightening.

Got a call earlier where the caller left a voicemail claiming to be from the Inland Revenue, saying I was being investigated for tax fraud and under watch. When I called back, a bloke named George Walton picked up immediately, claiming to represent the Inland Revenue - which seemed odd since they never pick up so fast. He knew my name and address after I gave him my number, then said I owed £755. But as soon as I asked for my National Insurance number, he started dodging questions and ended up hanging up. Total scammers!

Got a automated robo call saying that I’m involved in some legal stuff and I need to ring them back to avoid getting a court summons. When I tried calling the number back, nobody picked up, which is pretty shady if you ask me. Whoever’s behind this is just playing games and I hope when they’re finally found out, they get a taste of what it feels like to be messed with. Scamming like this only brings stress and trouble in the end. Karma’s a pain, after all.
