02079476096 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02079476096 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation impersonating HMRC, often from a London-based number. Callers, frequently speaking with Indian accents, threaten arrest, legal action, and severe financial penalties over alleged unpaid taxes or fraud. They demand immediate payment via bank transfer, gift cards, or other untraceable methods, using intimidation and pressure tactics. Victims report distress, aggressive behaviour, and sometimes verbal abuse. The scammers may spoof official government numbers to appear credible but fail to provide verifiable case details. Many have confirmed these calls are fraudulent after verifying via official HMRC channels or law enforcement. It’s strongly advised not to engage, never provide personal or financial information, and report such calls to HMRC’s phishing team and Action Fraud to aid in tracking this scam network.

I received a rather alarming call threatening me with arrest. The caller insisted that I owe £1500 in unpaid taxes from previous years. They appeared to have originated from another number at +44 7438201860 before switching to this one. Quite a distressing experience, I must say!

020 7947 6096 rang me sayin I was dodging the police but I’m only 17 and don’t even pay tax. Me and my mates had a good laugh about it and then they just cut the call. Proper scary stuff for anyone who might actually fall for that.

I got a call from this number saying I’d been involved in tax fraud and there was an arrest warrant out for me. They insisted I needed to ring a criminal solicitor immediately to sort it out. Then they asked for £480 upfront before they could do anything. While talking to them, I quickly looked the number up and found loads of warnings saying it was dodgy. When I told the guy that, he got really angry, started yelling at me and even threatened to come after me!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from the Court of Appeal Civil Division. They told me there’s a criminal case against me for tax evasion and that there’s an arrest warrant out. Then they asked for over £1000 to sort it all out before it goes to court. Sounded pretty dodgy to me.

This afternoon, I received a call from a chap with an Indian accent claiming to be an officer from HMRC. He alleged that I was under investigation for tax evasion and could potentially face legal action. It didn’t take long for me to figure out it was a scam, so I promptly ended the call. Absolutely no details were shared!

Like many others mentioned here, I got a call with an Indian accent claiming to be from HMRC. They said I owed close to £1000 from a few years ago. When I tried to get a reference number for the case, they couldn’t give me one. They insisted I had to pay right away or I'd be facing jail time. I asked for more info or a proper HMRC contact number, but the caller just kept pressuring me to pay. After looking up the number online, I realised it was a scam and ended the call straight away.

Today, I received a rather dubious phone call from a gentleman sporting a thick accent that sounded Indian or Pakistani. He claimed to be working for HMRC and proceeded to inform me that I was under investigation for tax evasion. He went so far as to insinuate that a lawsuit could be looming over me, even mentioning the dreaded prospect of prison time! It’s clearly a scam, folks. Don’t be intimidated by these tactics-tell them to shove it just as I did!

Got a really dodgy call from someone pretending to be HMRC. They didn’t even get my name right or have any of my info. I put the phone on speaker and the lady got quite rude, so I ended up hanging up. No calls since then though. The numbers they rang from were 0151 143 9923 and later 020 7947 6096. Quite unsettling, honestly.

I received a rather alarming phone call from the same London numbers, 02079476096 and 02076316675. They were insisting that I pay £1998 immediately, or face arrest and have my belongings confiscated. To add to the pressure, they claimed that should I challenge this, I'd require a criminal solicitor, and the potential cost if I were to lose could reach £20,000! I expressed my distress to them and mentioned needing to seek some guidance. When I inquired about the possibility of calling them back after I'd consulted someone, they agreed, then simply hung up. I've since reported this matter to HMRC.

Got a call today saying I had to press 1 or else I'd be arrested. I pressed 1 and some guy with an Indian accent started talking about a tax case against me. Really aggressive and scary tone, then the call just dropped. Asked around with mates and turns out it's a scam, loads of people getting the same call. Proper irritating, especially with everything going on with Covid and the stress we already have.

I got a call from a woman named Christine Williams claiming to be some kind of officer about me owing £2000 in unpaid taxes. She asked if I'd prefer to sort it out without going to court or if I want to get a solicitor involved after they supposedly arrest me and seize my papers. They were even using what seemed like a government office phone number. Honestly, the government really needs to step in and protect people from this. I feel totally scammed by these lot.

This morning I got a phone call from someone claiming to be Officer Nate Shaw saying I had to cough up £2000 or I'd face five years in jail today. Yeah, right! The guy was Indian and got proper annoyed when I told him I have no clue what he was talking about, like about not paying tax or being self-employed. At first, it freaked me out a bit, but now I’m just really annoyed with the whole thing!

These fraudsters have somehow got into the HMRC’s main phone lines, so when they ring you, it’s the same number showing up on your caller ID. This bloke told me he’d ring back on Monday, and said his shift finished at 3pm on Saturday. After spotting other reports about this number, I’m definitely going to block it. I’m certain all my tax stuff is sorted, so I’m even thinking about changing my phone number. Absolute lowlifes, proper scumbags, just terrible people. It’s genuinely shocking.

Got calls from these numbers today: 020 79476096, 020 70688245, and 020 81674683. Pretty much the same nonsense as others mentioned, saying I owed HMRC about £2,000 and had to cough it up straight away on the phone or risk getting nicked, going to court, and even jail! Of course, I didn’t fall for it and ended up informing the police about the whole thing :)

I received a call not too long ago with an almost identical scenario. The chap claimed to be working for HMRC and warned me that I'd be facing arrest, but he didn't actually elaborate on the details. Then, I got transferred to someone else who bombarded me with questions, insisting that I had an outstanding debt that needed settling immediately. Quite unnerving, if you ask me!

I told her I was isolating for coronavirus and joked that she might as well come arrest me then. She kept pushing, asking me to open a link and type something in, but I just said I don’t use Google. Turns out, this number is listed on a UK government fraud alert site. Watch out, these scammers deserve to get stuck with coronavirus!

I got a call after some robotic voice told me to press 1 because the police were after me for tax evasion or something. They asked if I'd got a lawyer, I said yes, and mentioned I’d just head down to the police if there was any proper warrant. The bloke then snapped back with something like “yeah, go to the cops and they’ll mess you up” - honestly, couldn’t believe the nerve, like they thought I’d actually fall for that rubbish!

So when we figured out it was a total scam, we just made up a postcode, but put the last letter as B for Bullshit. After we got off the phone, we got a message back saying something like 'B for bullshit or B for boobies, bet you got a lovely pair'. That kinda rude stuff really disgusted me.

I had a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC saying there was a fraud case about tax evasion filed against me and asked if I had a criminal lawyer. I was really upset, especially since I was driving at the time. They even told me to pull over so they could explain the "case" to me. I hung up and immediately rang my husband, I was in a proper state. He quickly said it sounded like a scam. These sorts of calls are really dangerous - I was so shaken up I could’ve easily caused a crash and put myself and others in danger.

Got a call earlier today from this number after I had a really unclear call from 01177107698. Definitely one of those HMRC scams! For a bit I was confused since my family recently had some problems with HMRC because of a wrong date entered somewhere. But when I told the woman that HMRC actually owed me money for that time, she tried to wriggle out of it for a few minutes before just ending the call herself. My grandad got the same call a couple months back so watch out for this one!

Earlier today, some bloke rang me up trying to scare me by saying the police were coming to arrest me and that I'd be in court straight away. He claimed I owed HMRC £1890 in back taxes and demanded I pay right away. When I told him I didn’t have the cash, he kept pushing me to borrow the money.

I received calls from the numbers 02079476096 and 02076316675 recently. The caller claimed that there was a criminal investigation regarding tax evasion from HMRC, and they pressured me to settle the matter over the phone to avoid further complications. Be cautious, as the chap was rather insistent and appeared to have a good grasp of the situation. It sounded like a well-organised setup, as I could discern other calls taking place in the background. I've since forwarded the details to the fraud prevention team and flags have been raised with HMRC.

He threatened that I could face arrest unless I made partial payments.

In total, he demanded £1,700.
