02031296231 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02031296231 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number making numerous automated calls across the UK, falsely claiming to be from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and threatening urgent legal action over alleged unpaid taxes or fraud. The callers often demand immediate callbacks, sometimes requesting solicitor involvement, and use intimidating language designed to scare recipients, particularly targeting elderly or vulnerable individuals. The scam has alarmed many, with some reporting multiple daily calls and distress caused to relatives. HMRC and police are aware and advise not to respond or share personal details, as genuine communication would come via official letters, not automated calls. Users strongly recommend blocking the number and reporting it to authorities to prevent potential financial harm and reduce harassment.

Got a call from someone named “Alexandra” claiming to be from some company about my “accident”. Not sure if it was an actual person or just one of those automated messages. I picked up because I was waiting for a phone call. Figured they’d try to get my bank info, so I ended the call right away.

Got a robotic message telling me to ring back in a second or they'll have my lawyer on the case because I supposedly owe HMRC money - total rubbish. If anyone calls asking for your bank or card info, or telling you to call them back (unless you were already expecting them), just ignore it. They're just trying to scam you out of your cash.

This morning my missus got a call from that number and got really worried, so she rang me straight away. I looked up the number and, just like I thought, it’s a scam. I suppose some folks really do get caught by these tricks, it’s all about how many people they ring out. The more they call, the better chance they have someone bites. Best not to ring that number back, could be one of those nasty premium lines that blows up your phone bill.

Like others have mentioned, we received a voicemail on our answering machine-definitely a woman’s voice-urging us to ring back immediately due to a pressing matter. Strangely, there was no elaboration on what the matter entails. We’re completely at a loss as to how to put an end to these nuisance calls or even trace their origin to prevent them from continuing. It's becoming quite frustrating!

I received a rather alarming call earlier, with a woman's voice instructing me to either 'ring' or take note of a solicitor's ring and warned not to dismiss it. I traced the number through 1471. It definitely raised concerns, especially as I could barely grasp the full message-something about customs. My daughter lives overseas, so you can imagine my worry that it could involve her somehow. I'm relieved I stumbled upon this site for clarity!

I received an automated call threatening to pursue legal measures if I didn’t reply. This is the second time they've contacted us, with a gap of roughly ten days between the two calls. It’s alarming how swiftly one can feel pressured to reach out to them. Folks like this ought to be put a stop to!

Just like so many others have mentioned, we’ve been inundated with recorded messages on our answering machine featuring a woman's voice claiming there’s a legal case against us. We've lost count, but it must be over ten by now! Thankfully, I live with my 75-year-old dad, and we see through this hoax - it’s clearly a SCAM. We’ve now decided not to pick up unless we’re certain of who’s on the other end. I can only imagine how frightening this must be for those who aren’t as discerning! It’s frankly appalling, and it’s high time someone tracked down the source of these calls and put an end to this nonsense - or at the very least, block their number from bothering anyone else!

I received a recorded message from a woman. It jumped in halfway, stating that I needed to return the call urgently or I'd be facing legal consequences. Totally baffled as I have no clue who it could be, especially since crucial details were missed before the message began. Honestly, it was quite off-putting and left me feeling rather anxious!

I had a rather peculiar voicemail on my machine today. When I returned the call, a chap on the other end, who had a distinctly Asian accent, informed me that there was an active case against me related to criminal behaviour, tax fraud, and the like. I pointed out that surely I'd have received a proper notification if that were the case, and inquired about his location. He claimed to be calling from 100 Parliament Square in London and ominously warned me that a police officer would arrive at my door within 20 minutes if I didn't take him seriously. I simply replied that I’d be more than happy to wait for the officer. Then, bizarrely enough, he hung up! 😂

I've had two calls from this number today. The first one pretended to be from HMRC, while the second one was quite aggressive, demanding that I ring them back straight away to dodge some legal trouble. It's concerning that we can't seem to block these kinds of calls effectively. They can really distress vulnerable people, especially the elderly. I do hope these incidents are being reported to the authorities.

Now we're just waiting to see if he’s been hit with a massive phone bill for that call!

Today, I’ve received a couple of recorded messages from this number. They keep insisting that I must get in touch with them promptly and provide my solicitor’s information, or I could find myself in more hot water with HMRC. I’m fairly certain it’s a con, especially since they called from a withheld number. This is the first I’ve heard from them, which only adds to my suspicions. I've chosen to disregard these calls entirely.

I just got a rather alarming call, warning me of impending legal trouble regarding some alleged unpaid taxes, claiming it was my "final opportunity" to act. Clearly, these are just con artists and they ought to be put out of business. Out of curiosity, I dialled the number they provided using another line that I'd previously blocked. The person who picked up sounded as clear as mud-could barely make out what they were saying!

Got a call from this number earlier today. They left a message saying they’d take legal steps if I didn’t ring back. Felt fishy straight away, so I looked into it and yep, definitely a scam. Going to get my phone company to block them now.

They really oughta be stopped - maybe given a good kick where it hurts! :-) No legit case is ever made through a recorded call. Proper daft and shameless little pests.

Got a voicemail saying to call this number or they'd take legal steps. I looked it up and saw the reviews which made me feel a bit better, but I was still thinking about calling back. Luckily, my husband told me not to - turns out he was totally right, it was a scam!

Got a scary message saying they’ll take legal steps if we don’t call them back. Something really should be done to put a stop to these calls. We’re fine, but imagine how worried older folks or those who aren’t so confident must feel?

I've received two calls from this number, and they're not exactly a walk in the park. They sound rather aggressive about pursuing legal action against me. To top it off, they left a voicemail with a robotic voice that was just dreadful. Quite unsettling, to say the least!

Got a couple of calls from that number and just like everyone else, it was some automated voice threatening legal stuff. Definite scam if you ask me.

Got the same message here, some automated voice claiming they were going to take legal steps and gave me 48 hours to get back to them. They said I could ring that number (like the one posted here) or have my lawyer deal with it. I’ve reported it to HMRC and had my provider block the number. Absolutely disgusting people preying on those who might be easy targets.

About half a year ago I got a text claiming to be from HMRC but I didn’t bother replying since they normally send letters if you owe any tax. Today I got another message, this time no mention of HMRC but it sounded really threatening saying to get your solicitor or yourself to ring them. Don’t do it - it’s definitely a scam.

Received a call roughly a fortnight ago. I reached out to the police, but they didn’t seem to care much. It's imperative that these individuals are tracked down and held accountable for their actions.

This appears to be a dodgy operation. My wife's elderly uncle has already received three calls from them. Best to ignore these calls and notify the authorities.

This number keeps ringing me multiple times each day for days on end, leaving scary messages about legal action and saying it's urgent to ring them back. It's really worrying for vulnerable folks, especially older people. Honestly, it’s awful that some people go out of their way to intimidate the elderly like this!

My elderly neighbours got calls from this number 3 times, each time they sounded even more aggressive, threatening legal stuff. I’ve told Virgin about it and fingers crossed they’ve blocked them now.

I've been inundated with messages requesting that I or my lawyer get back in touch (likely some dodgy premium rate scam) or else face consequences. Honestly, I’m absolutely tired of dealing with these time-wasting charlatans. It's nothing short of harassment!

Terrible group calling up old people, threatening court over supposed unpaid taxes. Just block them straight away and contact your phone company so they stop bothering you. Absolute lowlives.

I've been receiving constant calls from these individuals who keep harping on about debts I supposedly owe to HMRC. Quite frankly, it's distressing. They ring at the most inconvenient times, and it’s really rather unsettling.

My mother has received multiple phone calls over the past week from a man making threats of legal action, claiming to be from HMRC. We’ve reported it to the police and Action Fraud, as it's been quite distressing for her.

I received two calls from this number earlier today, and honestly, they make it seem as if you're in some sort of predicament. When I returned the call, an individual with an Indian accent picked up. Isn't there a way to put an end to these annoyances?

Got this voicemail on our answerphone: "Either you or your solicitor must get back to us right away. This matter is really urgent and requires immediate attention. Call 02031296231 on our legal hotline. Please don’t ignore this message, or we’ll have to pursue legal steps. Thanks and take care."

Every day we receive an unsolicited call from 02031296231, and it’s proving to be quite alarming, especially for those who might be easily fooled. I strongly urge everyone not to engage with this number! As pensioners, we find the actions of these scammers utterly appalling and completely indifferent to our situation. Best wishes, Jen from Cleveland.

Got the same nasty message claiming to be from HMRC. It's clearly a scam, but I can see how it could scare people who believe it. BT, the police, or the government really ought to step up and tackle this issue properly.

It's the same con that's been mentioned before, but one can't help but notice how easy it is for those who are more susceptible to get caught out by it.

It appears I've received a rather menacing automated call that, while not outright illegal, feels like it surely goes against the ethical standards set by its respective professional organisation. However, I suspect that no one is actually keen to investigate this matter. Being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I shouldn't be getting such calls, yet it seems like yet another organisation that fails to make a difference.

I've just received my 11th call this past week, and today alone, they’ve rung me 4 times - all claiming to be from HMRC. They've also tried contacting me from the number 02031297044. The nature of these calls is quite alarming; they insist that I or my solicitor must get in touch with them at once, or they will pursue legal action regarding some supposed debt. It’s all rather peculiar, especially since the real HMRC have already issued a refund for my overpaid taxes!

This afternoon, I received a rather menacing call that masqueraded as an official communication from HMRC. It's astonishing that the authorities seem to turn a blind eye to such scams. This clearly illustrates that the government-regardless of which party is in charge-falls short in protecting its citizens, leaving us vulnerable in this ever-growing landscape of deception.
