02038073491 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02038073491 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number impersonating HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Callers use automated messages claiming legal action or lawsuits over unpaid tax, urging recipients to press a number to speak with a case officer. Many have noted the scam involves personal details, including names and outdated addresses, and attempts to intimidate with threats of arrest. Legitimate HMRC communications are never conducted this way; official correspondence comes by post, not phone. Recipients are advised not to engage, never to provide personal information, and to block the number. Numerous reports highlight vulnerability risks, especially for elderly individuals. Authorities and service providers are urged to investigate and act against these fraudulent calls.

I just got them to say where I live on the phone, so they’re blocked now!

I received a rather alarming voicemail claiming they were initiating legal proceedings against me, urging me to press 1 to connect with a case officer. Given that I had just recently received a tax rebate, I instantly suspected it was a dodgy scam. Decided to just let it be and didn’t bother responding.

While I was out, my wife got a call from some lot saying she owed taxes from way back, like from 1980 to 2010, and that they’d be taking legal steps if she didn’t sort it out. She’s got no debts like that at all. Surely, these people need to be caught by the fraud team. The only way to stop this is for someone to inform the police about them.

I got a call from a woman who knew my name and told me there’s some kind of lawsuit from HMRC against me. She said I needed to speak with a case officer. Honestly, I hope no one gets duped by this rubbish.

I recently received a rather alarming call from 02038073491, which claimed to be from HMRC. However, I refrained from pressing No. 1 as they suggested. Honestly, it's utterly unacceptable for them to target people in this manner. They really ought to be brought to justice posthaste!

Just had a rather alarming call moments ago. It was a pre-recorded message claiming that I was facing a lawsuit from the Inland Revenue. I could tell straight away it was a robotic voice. I promptly hung up, of course! I’m certainly not gullible enough to buy into such nonsense. However, it’s high time that action is taken against these vile, deceitful scammers.

I had a rather unsettling phone call from this number. Upon answering, I was greeted by what sounded like a pre-recorded message stating that I was being sued by HMRC. Curious, I called the number back, and a person on the other end identified themselves as a tax officer, insisting that I owed unpaid taxes from prior years. When I expressed my doubts, he resorted to intimidation, threatening me with arrest! I calmly pointed out that HMRC doesn’t operate in such a manner, and that seemed to rattle him as he abruptly ended the call.

Had a bell tolling from this number on the 19th of July at approximately a quarter past three. They were rather swift to disconnect. I deduced it was them when I rang 1471 for details.

Got a call earlier claiming that HMRC were about to take legal action against me, but they didn’t even bother using my name. Just so you know, HMRC never ring you up like that and don’t do "law suits" - that's more of an American phrase anyway. They’ve got the means to deduct any tax owed straight from your wages. Best to just ignore these silly calls.

Absolutely horrible experience. I had to hurry back to my elderly mum after she got a call from these scammer idiots. She was really scared, thinking the police were knocking at her door to arrest her. They claimed she had unpaid taxes dating back to 1992! I attempted to ring them back but no one picked up and then the call just dropped. I really hope the authorities are cracking down on this rubbish. Totally appalling.

Received a rather alarming call at half six this evening, claiming that I'm facing legal action from HMRC. They instructed me to press 1 if I wished to speak with my case officer. Naturally, I refrained from doing so and decided to return the call. However, the phone just rang incessantly before cutting off completely. Quite suspicious, I must say!

I received a call from this number earlier, claiming that I was facing legal action from HMRC. I refused to follow any of their instructions and hung up the phone. After that, I dialled 1471 to check the number again and attempted to call back, but there was no response. I've informed BT Customer Services about the situation through Twitter, and they're currently investigating it. I've also taken the precaution of blocking the number.

I can echo what many others have shared - pressed 1 as prompted, and they had my name, but were using my previous address. When I mentioned I’d moved, they promptly terminated the call. After using 1471, I obtained the number and attempted to ring them back thrice. Each time, the call ended abruptly. Considering my role at Age UK, I’m acutely aware of how intimidating such calls can be for the elderly. It’s crucial to hunt these scammers down and ensure they face the consequences for their actions!

I've had a call from that number earlier today. It was an automated voice claiming to be from HMRC, warning me that legal action was imminent unless I pressed 1 to speak to my case officer. Naturally, I didn't fall for that trap. Quite the nuisance, if you ask me - another one of those pesky spam calls!

A client of Age UK based in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, received a rather alarming call from this number yesterday (17/07/2017). The caller claimed that she was being taken to court by HMRC. Interestingly, she had received a similar call a few months back, which she had already reported to your office. This time around, she made sure to jot down the number and wanted to ensure that we brought this incident to your attention. Thankfully, she didn't disclose any personal information to the caller.

I recently received a voicemail claiming that HMRC was initiating court proceedings against me. Following the instructions, I pressed 1, but I was met with a dead line. When I tried to reach them again, an American-accented woman informed me that all operators were occupied and suggested I ring back later. Understandably, this raised my anxiety levels, yet I suspected it might be a scam. I truly appreciate your efforts in easing my concerns. My late mother-in-law would have been beside herself with worry upon receiving such distressing news; these sorts of calls surely need to be tackled.

I’ve just had a rather alarming automated call from this number, claiming that HMRC intended to take legal action against me and prompting me to press 1 for more information. I must admit, I pressed it purely out of curiosity, as I was baffled by how these scams operate, especially since they had no proof or details about me. However, the call was quickly terminated. I think it's crucial to report this to the tax authorities, as such tactics can be quite distressing for older folks.

They said they were with HMRC and tried to threaten me with arrest and court over some unpaid tax. I’ve been on disability benefits for 16 years and haven’t had a job in all that time. If I owed anything at all, HMRC would’ve surely got in touch ages ago. I was just about to tell them I’d ring the tax office myself and call back, but the line just cut off mid-sentence. This was totally a scam, no doubt about it!

Just a short while ago, at 5:14 PM, I received a peculiar automated voicemail with a rather ominous tone, stating something along the lines of "... against you. Press 1 to talk to your case officer." Naturally, I found myself quite anxious and hit 1, but it led nowhere. After several attempts to call 14713 with no luck, I thought I'd best investigate further until I stumbled upon this site. What a relief!

I reached out to my phone provider, Sky, to report this issue, but they seemed indifferent and didn’t bother to make a note of my complaint.

Just to add, this is definitely a scam. HMRC always sends a letter before they try to contact you by phone about any issues. If you get a call like this, best thing to do is not to give out any details and hang up immediately. Trust me, don’t answer or share anything with callers like that.

Strangely, they mentioned my old address, which explained why I'd never seen any correspondence from them. However, when I inquired about the nature of the alleged claim against me, they abruptly ended the call. It’s clear this is just a scam, especially since any mail sent to my previous address is kindly forwarded by my neighbour, as we share the same building.
