02031298297 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02031298297 👆 is reported as a persistent and distressing scam number impersonating HMRC, targeting mainly elderly and vulnerable individuals with threatening, automated messages about alleged unpaid taxes and impending legal action. Callers use intimidating language and fake officer names, pressuring recipients to respond immediately, often causing significant anxiety. The scammers do not use personal details and typically disconnect or become abusive when challenged. Genuine HMRC communications are official and delivered in writing, not by unsolicited phone calls. Victims are strongly advised not to engage, return calls, or provide any information. Many urge reporting to Action Fraud, HMRC, and relevant authorities, and recommend using call-blocking or the Telephone Preference Service to reduce nuisance contacts. This scam number has been active for years and continues to cause harm.

Got a call from HMRC claiming I had unpaid tax and they would take legal action if I didn’t settle up in 24 hours. Funny enough, this number is ringing again since all the other complaints I saw were from back in 2017.

Got a weird voicemail too, but the guy was called "Eric Foster," not "Lisa Williams". I told him straight up that I knew it was a dodgy call and he just lost it, swearing at me like mad.

I just got a rather dodgy message on my voicemail this afternoon, and I sincerely hope it’s nothing serious. Being of a more mature age myself, I must say that the voicemail from someone claiming to be Officer Lisa Williams was rather unnerving, despite my instinct telling me it was a scam straight away. What genuinely concerns me is the possibility of a kind-hearted elderly lady coming across this and feeling compelled to respond!

I received a voicemail from this number and decided to return the call just five minutes later. When I did, an individual of Asian descent, likely from Bangladesh or India, responded. Unfortunately, his command of English was quite poor, and I expressed to him how threatening the original message had felt. It struck me as quite odd-scams often start with a letter from HCM, after all. My frustration grew when he mentioned my daughter’s name; it was particularly alarming since she doesn’t reside with me. Suddenly, the line went dead on his end. I tried calling again, only to have him pick up briefly before silence fell once more. This sort of conduct is utterly appalling and should be dealt with decisively. As a pensioner, I consider myself fortunate to have kept my wits about me, but I can’t say the same for everyone else. These nefarious individuals need to be eradicated.

Earlier today, I received a call from this number and it left me feeling quite uneasy. I'm grateful to have it confirmed as a scam. What really troubles me, though, is the fact that this seems to be targetting the older generation, and honestly, I'm not quite prepared to be grouped in that category just yet!

Before coming across this site, I rang the number back. The guy wasn’t some robot or anything, he told me straight up I had some issues with HMRC. When I asked what my next move was, he just told me to go f### myself, like I already knew how or something. Really nasty behaviour, awful experience!

Just like the previous comments, I can't help but feel these individuals are rather dim-witted. Do they not grasp how utterly ridiculous their threats appear to be? It's almost amusing how insincere they come across. Honestly, ignore it entirely; engaging with them will only encourage their unpleasant behaviour.

I got a call from the number 001300117, which I've already reported. A woman on the line claimed I was being taken to court for tax fraud. When I called her out for being a scammer and dared her to try suing me, she quickly told me to shove it and basically told me to go to hell. After that, I got a weird text with a robo-call message, like others mentioned, saying a legal writ had been issued against me. The caller, who said her name was Lisa Williams, ended the message by wishing me a nice day, which was just strange.

Got a call on the 26th of August, and like others have said, it was a really nasty automated message pretending to be from HMRC, warning about urgent and expensive legal trouble if you don’t get back to them. Feels like they’re just trying to frighten folks into answering so they can trick them into giving away personal info. Proper dodgy stuff. It’s quite alarming how these scams seem to be popping up more and more lately.

Today, my elderly mother has been inundated with five phone calls from this number, all eerily similar to what others have reported. She's 83 and has been extremely upset, as the callers claimed she owed them money and insisted they were from HMRC. I've advised her to simply hang up, as legitimate government bodies always communicate in writing rather than over the phone. It’s utterly shameful how these scammers prey on vulnerable seniors like her. This situation requires immediate attention!

My dad is 78 and today he got a robo call from this number which made him feel really uneasy and irritated. I tried to reassure him that it's just a scam and they probably blast these automated messages to countless made-up phone numbers. Still, he was worried about how they managed to get hold of his actual number. Honestly, these scammers are brutal - they don’t care at all about scaring anyone. They should be put behind bars.

Loads of danger in this one!! Got a call claiming I had some legal case against me and I needed to ring them back straight away on that number.

I received a phone call earlier today claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs. The caller warned me that I could face significant legal issues if I didn't return a call to someone named Lisa. However, they failed to mention my name or identify anyone else from my household, which struck me as rather odd. I decided against calling them back, as I had a hunch it was a scam.

My elderly father, who’s in his eighties, received a phone call this morning, much like what others have mentioned on this site. Ordinarily, he’s quite savvy when it comes to dodgy phone calls, yet as the caller claimed to be from HMRC, he was led to believe they were legitimate. They asserted he owed £3000 in back taxes, which understandably left him feeling quite distressed and anxious.

I received a rather alarming message purportedly from HMRC regarding serious fraud, saying it was my final opportunity to ring back and discuss the matter with a certain Lisa Williams. The call came in around 8:53 the other morning, and I must say, it left me quite unsettled. As a retiree, I chose not to return the call, but the anxiety it caused has lingered. It's frustrating that such unscrupulous individuals are allowed to operate with impunity. Surely there must be a way to tackle these dreadful scams!

I recently had a rather alarming phone call from this number, where the caller made threats regarding dire legal repercussions if I didn’t respond right away. It’s quite clear these individuals need to be put a stop to-what they're doing is certainly against the law. Being in my seventies, I tend to be rather sceptical and always dig up information on unfamiliar numbers or organisations. Sadly, many of my peers are not as cautious and could easily be shaken by such a call. It's essential we take action against these scams without delay!

It was from Officer Lisa Williams of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, warning that we’re at a critical juncture regarding a significant matter. She mentioned this is our final opportunity to address the issue, or we could face some rather severe legal repercussions if we fail to get back to her promptly. Quite concerning, to say the least!

We just got the same kind of voicemail on our landline not long ago. I wonder if the company behind this 0203 number, whether it’s BT, Sky, or some other provider, could block these calls from reaching us.

I too got a call earlier today and decided to return it. When I answered, I found myself speaking to a fellow who seemed to struggle with English. He simply asked how he could assist me, to which I replied that he had contacted me without providing his name first. He quickly informed me that I wasn’t the individual he was trying to reach and abruptly ended the conversation. It’s really infuriating dealing with such people. This kind of nonsense really needs to be addressed!

I received an identical call just after 3pm today. To be honest, I was quite worried about Officer Lisa, especially given how distressed she seemed regarding my ongoing legal matter. Her tone suggested she might be grappling with some significant health challenge - I genuinely hope she regains her strength soon to assist others facing similar legal struggles. It was heartening, though, that despite the tense conversation, Officer Lisa expressed a desire for amicability and wished me a "lovely day." Life has its blessings, and I’ll rest easy tonight with the thought that Officer Lisa is someone who truly cares. I wonder if she’s available this Saturday for a proper chat?

So, my dad who's 84 got a call claiming there was some criminal court stuff with HMRC and he owed loads of money. He got suspicious and asked some questions, then the call just dropped.

Yesterday around 5:10pm I got a voicemail saying I must get back to them right away because there’s some lawsuit filed against me. The message didn’t even use my name, and it sounded totally automated. Is there honestly no way to put an end to these annoying phone scams?
9 years
I picked up and an automated voice started saying, “This message concerns you,” then claimed to be from HMRC, warning me it was my final chance to deal with a supposed lawsuit and gave a number to call Lisa Williams on 2031298297. They forgot to include the initial ‘0’ in the phone number. The call ended with “Have a blessed day,” which struck me as odd since HMRC wouldn’t use that phrase, and it doesn’t sound very British. Definitely don’t ring that number!

I've experienced the exact same situation! A robotic voice left a rather alarming message, claiming that there’s a lawsuit filed against me and insisting that I call them back to avoid dire ramifications.

Just goes to show how these fraudulent schemes can target the vulnerable, especially here in the UK.

They said there was some kind of lawsuit against me and that I had to ring the given number. Took me a moment, but I figured out it was a scam. Still, it did make me uneasy for a bit.

It appears that there are some unsavoury characters masquerading as HMRC, attempting to exploit the elderly and those in precarious situations for their ill-gotten gains. It’s quite disheartening to see such trickery aimed at the vulnerable.

This morning, my mother received a rather alarming call from this number, claiming that a lawsuit would be filed against me if I didn’t return their call. Naturally, I was quite sceptical, so I decided to look up the number during my lunch break at work and stumbled upon this website. Curiosity got the better of me, and I called them from my office phone. A rather confused gentleman answered, though his grasp of English was quite limited. All I could make out was “Hello HM Revenue and Customs.” When I inquired about the nature of their call, he simply repeated “no.no.no” before abruptly hanging up! Honestly, what a despicable scam to perpetrate on unsuspecting individuals!

I’m residing in the UK, and recently I've received a pair of messages from someone claiming to be "Lisa" from Her Majesty's Revenue. Apparently, there's a grave lawsuit filed against me. Naturally, I have no intention of returning her call or engaging with that number. It’s obviously a vile scam. Best, Jean

Just like the other calls I’ve had, this one warned me of a big legal issue from HMRC if I don't ring them straight away. They said the costs would go up if I delay. No names mentioned at all, so it’s clearly a dodgy scam. How come nobody’s put an end to these calls yet???

Someone rang my grandma, she's 82 and suffers from dementia, and told her she’d be taken to court if she didn’t pick up next time. It really upset her, she ended up in tears. They didn’t even leave a number - real cowards. My poor grandma was so confused and terrified because she couldn’t recall any problem or if she’d done anything wrong. What sort of human being tries to frighten an elderly lady like that? Honestly, these people need to be stopped for good.

I got an automated call saying HMRC will take legal action if I don’t ring a certain number. Honestly, don’t call it - it’s definitely a scam! I didn’t ring back myself, but I’m pretty sure the number either charges crazy-high rates or there’s someone on the line fishing for your personal info. It must be really frightening for some folks, which is awful. Like others have said, reporting it helps loads - the more reports, the faster they’ll shut it down.

This morning at half past nine, I received a rather alarming call from this number claiming that a lawsuit was in the works against me. Previously, I’ve received messages that allegedly came from the Inland Revenue, but those ones were saying I was due a tax refund. I’ve adopted the strategy of never picking up the phone for unfamiliar numbers; I simply let it ring through to voicemail. After that, I dial 1471 to check the number, which I’ve found to be incredibly useful, especially since I’m a pensioner. By sticking to this practice, the incessant calls have dwindled down significantly; I used to contend with two or three daily, and now I’m fortunate if I get three in an entire week.

Had the same experience, those scammers are just awful and honestly, they deserve to be locked behind bars with no chance of getting out. What worries me most is how easily they could exploit folks who are more vulnerable.

Same here. These calls are really annoying and I think the police or BT really ought to step in and sort this out. Even though we know it’s just scams, it could cause a lot of distress to some of the more vulnerable folks.

I received an alarming phone call from this number, claiming they were initiating legal proceedings against me. I attempted to return the call, but it only rang a couple of odd times before informing me that the line was unresponsive. I genuinely regret not searching for the number online beforehand. I would strongly recommend others to just hang up if they receive a similar call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be an officer Lisa at HM Revenue & Customs, saying I could get in trouble with the law if I don’t call back. Sounded really dodgy to me.

Yesterday I got a voicemail that was pretty threatening, said the same stuff everyone else is mentioning. Initially, it freaked me out but then I figured it was just another scam, and a nasty one at that. I really hope they manage to put a stop to these calls because they could really upset people, especially if they ring back and get tricked.

Got a call from some scammer pretending to be HMRC who was really pushy and rude. They warned me I’d be arrested in half an hour if I didn’t answer their questions. Honestly, one of the most horrible experiences I’ve had on the phone.

I got an answerphone message saying there’s a court case against me and I need to ring officer Lisa at 0203129829, from some revenue and customs dept. They never actually said my name, just kept talking about "you". It’s obviously a scam, but some people who aren’t careful might fall for it.

I got this automated call supposedly from HMRC warning me about a legal case against me, but they never actually said any names. They kept pushing it like it was some last warning - really trying to freak you out. Classic scam to catch people off guard! What cracked me up was the bit at the end where they said, ‘Have a blessed day!’ Yeah right, I’ll be doing just fine by blowing this off and telling others not to fall for it!

I received another one of those alarming calls purporting to be from HMRC, threatening me with a serious lawsuit. The call came in just before 9 in the morning. I presumed it was a scam, yet it could certainly rattle some individuals. It was quite unsettling and left me feeling rather exposed, not to mention why they picked my number in the first place.

Being home alone when you get calls like this is honestly quite scary. I got a call just before 9 in the morning, and then another one about three hours afterward, both warning of “serious legal trouble” unless I called back immediately. The lady on the phone said she was from HMRC, which makes me wonder if this sort of thing shouldn't be treated as a criminal offence?

02031298297 left a message that honestly seemed really frightening, especially for older folks who might not be as careful. I’m in my seventies and live alone, so I always use my answerphone to check who’s calling first - pretty grateful for that! I can only imagine how upset some of my friends would be if they got a message like that. It’s just so mean to target people who might be vulnerable.

Seems like I've stumbled upon a bit of a dodgy situation here. The person on the line said they were from HM Customs and asked for my address. When I pressed for more information, the call suddenly dropped. Quite suspicious, I must say!

I received a rather off-putting automated call that asserted I was being investigated for some serious fraudulent activity. It instructed me to get in touch with a Sergeant Lee by pressing "3". I didn’t hesitate to end the call right there. The recording sounded very polished, and I can't help but think that those who are more susceptible might fall for this ploy quite easily.

Could anyone clarify whether this number is legitimate? I'm curious to know if it's associated with the Inland Revenue or Customs.
