1 monthThis number rang me up and started saying I’d worked too many hours against my visa rules. They even went on to say the police were outside my house right now and that I’d be arrested in a matter of minutes if I didn’t sort out the payment. Proper scary stuff.2 monthsGot a recorded call claiming to be my bank about some fraud and telling me to hit 1 if I want to deal with it. Definitely a scam.2 monthsGot a voicemail telling me to ring my bank as apparently my card got blocked, and then to press one on the phone.4 monthsGot a dodgy call the other day, had it on screen and they dropped a voicemail saying something like, "Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Wilkins, Metropolitan Police here, calling about a possible leak of your personal info." Total scam if you ask me.Andrew WilkinsMetropolitan Police4 monthsGot a call from someone pretending to be HMRC, insisting I owe more than £2000 in taxes for 2024/2025. Problem is, I wasn’t even here in the country, and I wasn’t working at the time. Plus, when I did have a job, the care agency sorted my payments. Total scam, don’t fall for it!HMRC4 monthsNever send any cash to this number! I mentioned I'd report them to HMRC and they just started shouting rude stuff at me, even though they claimed to be from HMRC at first.HMRC5 monthsGot a call earlier from a woman, sounded Asian and was really pushy, kept demanding I check my bank balance and tell her. It felt quite intimidating and she seemed very convincing. I told her to call back in half an hour when my carer would be with me, but she just ended the call. Proper scary experience.11 monthsI got a call saying it was HMRC telling me I’m on some criminal list and they wanted about £4000 before looking into it. It didn’t feel right, so I looked up the number and found out it was a scam. Their website even looked proper like HMRC's. After realising that, I rang my bank just to be safe. Watch out for these dodgy calls!HMRC1 yearTotal rip off!1 yearGot a call that seemed to be from the HMRC, sounded pretty legit. Watch out though, it was a scam.HMRC1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were from HMRC, claimed I owed money. Total scam, be warned!HMRC1 yearIt’s a total con, so don’t share any of your info with them.1 yearHad a call from a dodgy bloke, sounded Asian, claiming he was from HMRC. Tried to scare me into making a payment straight away. Proper scammer, low down stuff.HMRC1 yearGot a call from a local number where someone said they were from HMRC. They then put me through to a number that matched the official HMRC one. The person gave me a couple of choices and even faked a Case Number and Warrant supposedly linked to me. They wouldn't let me talk to anyone else or make any calls. To settle the case, they demanded I pay half the amount right away, and the rest in instalments. They asked for £3986 in total.HMRC1 yearTotally a scam. They said they were from HMRC and sent me a dodgy website that looked legit, like it was a gov.uk site, with their phone number on there to fool you. I played along with their sketchy story, and then they passed me on to someone else who tried to get me to pay. This person kept pushing me hard until I tried to make a payment, and when I didn’t follow through properly, they accused me of lying (which I kinda did) and started swearing before abruptly hanging up.HMRC1 yearGot a call from someone claiming to be HMRC, sounded dodgy to me. Definitely a scam, be careful everyone!HMRC1 yearI got a call from this number saying I owed £4996 to HMRC and if I didn’t pay, I’d face legal trouble. Sounded dodgy to me, so I just ended the call straight away.HMRC1 yearJust got a call from these people sayin I owe HMRC some money cause of an investment I supposedly made. Pretty sure it’s a scam - didn’t even make any investments!HMRC1 yearSimple rule for me: hang up straight away and tell them to send me a proper letter or email from HMRC if it’s legit. No messing about. Be firm with them.HMRC2 yearsI got a call from someone demanding around £2000, which seemed really sketchy.2 yearsJust like the woman before me, I got a call from some Indian woman saying HMRC had started a criminal probe against me and that I'd be arrested. I ended up hanging up, but she kept ringing back again and again.HMRC2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying I supposedly owe more than £3000 in taxes and there's a warrant for my arrest. When I told her I don’t earn enough to pay tax, she just hung up. Total rip-off, don't fall for it!2 yearsI received a call claiming that I owed money for not paying taxes. When I tried to call my employer, they insisted that I pay my fee before they investigated. They said if I was innocent, they would give me back my money immediately. They even threatened me with having my passport blacklisted for two years or up to six months in jail! When they asked me to download Wire (which is an online transfer app), that’s when I started to get suspicious. I began to find online websites like this one reporting the same number. I ended the call and immediately blocked the number.2 yearsGot a call threatening me with court stuff. I didn’t trust it, so I used a made-up name. They somehow found my file and asked if I’d hired a decent solicitor. I had a bit of fun winding them up - they claimed to be from HMRC. The convo finished with a woman (had an Indian accent) telling me off about my daughter or something. Definitely a scam. Hotline came from 07416 914499.HMRC2 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she was from HMRC, telling me I owed them £3000 and there was a warrant out for my arrest. I knew straight away something was off since I’m aware of how these things normally go, so I told her to stop wasting my time. She just hung up on me. Total scam, watch out everyone!HMRC2 yearsI received a rather dubious call from a number, 07477698565, where a chap named Officer Scott claimed I owed a hefty £5000 fine for underpayment of tax to HMRC. He bizarrely instructed me to look up "Court of Appeal Civil Division" and rummage through sections such as Family, Personal Injury, Kings Bench General, Defamation and Media, alongside the County Court, Civil Procedure Rules, and Costs Cases. He mentioned he would ring me back from 020 7947 7828 while still on the line, but seeing as that number has already been flagged as suspicious, I decided not to engage further. Quite a shifty business if you ask me!ScottHMRCof AppealDivisionCounty Court2 yearsToday, I received a rather dubious phone call. Not only did they issue threats, but they also insisted on receiving payment from me. Quite brazen, if you ask me!2 yearsTotally a scam, pretending to be from HMRC. Don’t share any info with them, it’s a con.HMRC2 yearsI was informed that I've got a criminal record due to not settling my tax dues. They requested a payment from me.2 yearsThis number is definitely a scam, no doubt about it! My partner has never been employed, yet they claimed she was being arrested. It's utterly ridiculous-these foolish people really need to find something better to do with their time!2 yearsGot a call from this number, they said it was HMRC and told me there was an arrest warrant out for me because of tax fraud. I was told to take the call but it sounded dodgy to me.HMRC2 yearsGot a call from 02079477828 today, they said they’re about to freeze my account and have a warrant to arrest me. They even threatened to send the police round. Showed me a website that looked official with their number on a government site, which made it seem legit. I asked them to send me an email and a letter through the post instead, and then they hung up. Don’t trust calls like these at all. Cheers!2 yearsHi there! Just wanted to share a rather alarming experience I had yesterday. I received a rather distressing call informing me that I was supposedly under arrest and had four charges against me. They insisted I fork out £2,200, which really set my nerves on edge. As a single mother, I was completely overwhelmed, especially when my little one started crying, adding to the chaos. They urged me to transfer money via Revolut, which raised a huge red flag for me. That’s when I decided I needed to hang up. They attempted to ring me back numerous times until I finally blocked the number. I’ve never had any legal troubles before, so it genuinely left me shaken.2 yearspretty sure this is an HMRC scam, watch out everyone!HMRC4 yearsThey said they were from the tax office and told me there’s an arrest warrant out for me. It all sounded really convincing, so watch out for this kind of call!RevenueCustoms6 yearsHad a call claiming to be from HMRC, saying there was a warrant for my arrest unless I paid £998 immediately via bank transfer. It sounded so convincing, but it’s just disgusting how low these scammers stoop. Honestly hope they get nabbed soon.HMRC6 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from HMRC, asserting that I hadn't settled my taxes and threatening me with a court order. They insisted that I needed to transfer money immediately! I ended the call, but they continued to ring me back four times. Just a heads-up-it's a total scam, so be cautious!HMRC6 yearsI received calls from +442079477828 and +442031297960, claiming I have a substantial debt. They threatened me with arrest if I failed to pay up. Quite alarming, to say the least!6 yearsOn 17th August 2020, I got a call using the exact same trick. Because of my PTSD, hearing them say I'd be arrested triggered a terrible flashback. I ended up losing £998. Luckily, my bank caught on and froze my account before I could send any more money. They already had loads of my personal info, like my job background and the dates I paid my back taxes. They were really pushy and aggressive throughout.6 yearsRight from the off they were making threats. I called back using a number listed on a gov site, and it just put me straight through to the exact same caller. This definitely isn’t HMRC. The real HMRC won’t ring you up out of the blue and insist on paying up right then and there.HMRC6 yearsThis morning, some total s#### called my 65-year-old mum, told her she had an arrest warrant hanging over her head if she didn’t cough up £1000. She actually paid it, poor thing. Hope they savour this tiny victory cause they’ll get what’s coming to them soon enough.karma6 yearsToday, some bloke rang my mum and tried to scare her into handing over £1000. They’re just after scamming elderly people and anyone else they can get their hands on. If I catch these crooks, they won’t get away with it. I swear it.6 yearsSo, I got this call yesterday from a Glasgow number (0141 207 2900) where a bloke was threatening me with 5 years in jail if I didn’t pay up. The guy sounded really annoyed and had an accent. I told him I didn’t have the cash and asked him to ring me the next day. Of course I reported it, but today they called again from a different number (020 7947 7828). I just hung up, but they kept ringing loads of times until I ended up blocking the number. Just a heads up to everyone, watch out for this kind of scam!GlasgowScotland6 yearsSo, I got a call from 02079477828 saying there was an arrest warrant out for me unless I paid some back taxes. Thing is, I don’t owe any taxes at all. Just a heads up to watch out for this kind of scam.6 yearsToday I got a call where someone first claimed there was an arrest warrant out for me and then demanded a £2,000 payment. Then, this woman with an Indian accent said the cops were already heading over to take me in. I told her straight up that she was running a scam and should find proper work. I was about to say more, but she just snapped back, "It's a scam, right?" and then hung up. Such shameless people.6 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be HMRC, proper intense and scary. I stayed on the line and rang my bank right away, they told me it was a total con. This has nothing to do with any court or legal stuff! Best thing is to just drop the call immediately and don’t pick up if they ring again.HMRC6 yearsWoke up to a call at dawn from what looked like a Bradford number. A woman speaking with a thick Indian accent said the line was poor and she’d ring me back on a different number that looked like it belonged to HMRC. Same old story - accused me of dodging taxes and warned I’d be arrested for unpaid penalties. Proper scary and a really cruel scam. I reckon loads of folks would panic and fall for it. Definitely watch out for stuff like this!BradfordHMRC6 yearsI just got a call from this number claiming to be HMRC. They were really pushy, saying I owed £1400 or I'd be arrested and taken to court. It totally caught me off guard as I’ve never received any letters or emails from HMRC before, and I always keep my taxes up to date. They accused me of tax fraud going back two years, which is ridiculous. The whole thing felt very stressful. The number even matches one listed on the official gov.uk site, so it sounded legit. I’m honestly quite shaken. Please watch out, folks.HMRC6 yearsGot a call from some dodgy bloke saying I’ve got a warrant out for tax fraud and owe about £1600, just like that, no warning letters or anything. Rang up HMRC straight away and they said everything’s sorted on my end and they wouldn’t ever reach out like that. I’ve reported it to both HMRC and the cops now - total con!HMRC6 yearsGot a call earlier today from a woman with an Indian accent claiming there was an arrest warrant out for me due to tax fraud. She first rang from 020 3128 5178 but the line was all crackly. Then she called me again on 020 7947 7828, but the call dropped after about 20 seconds. Tried ringing both numbers back and got no response whatsoever.6 yearsHad this annoying tax scam call that just wouldn't give up. I ended the call and seconds later they rang back again. When I told the bloke it was a scam, he didn’t take it well and started threatening me with the police arresting me, then suddenly just hung up on me 😂. What a joke!6 yearsThis morning I got a call from a lady claiming to be from HMRC, telling me my name was linked to some criminal and fraud records with the government. They demanded I pay £1878 to get it cleared. I was nearly in tears, panic took over, and they sounded so convincing. Luckily, I didn’t have my bank cards with me at the time, otherwise I might have paid up out of fear. Even now, just thinking that my name was on these fraud lists terrifies me. Honestly, be very careful, these people are just actors pretending to be officials.HMRC6 yearsI received a call purporting to be from HMRC, claiming they were notifying me of a criminal warrant.HMRC6 yearsSo, I got a call from someone saying he was "David Parera" with batch number 98560LR claiming there’s an arrest warrant out for me and I need to pay immediately for HMRC. Honestly, it was pretty frightening and I nearly sent the money before checking out the comments here first. Just a heads up to everyone, watch out for this!David PareraHMRC6 yearsThis number is a complete scam! The caller purports to be from a court dealing with a tax fraud matter linked to HMRC. Though it looks like it’s coming from a legitimate Court of Appeal phone line, it's actually a spoofed number used by these con artists. Whatever you do, don’t share any personal details or hand over any cash! Just be wise and don’t fall for their tricks.HMRCCourt of Appeal6 yearsI got a call saying it was from HMRC and they threatened to arrest me unless I paid £1400 straight away. Then they rang me again from a number that looked like it was really HMRC, telling me to double-check on their official site. It was really scary! I also phoned HMRC myself and they told me they’d never handle things like that. Such a dreadful experience!HMRC6 yearsToday, i got a call from this number but told them i would ring back on their original number 01332 086772. That number wasn’t flagged as a scam anywhere. It was quite unsettling - there was a robot voice warning me that if i didn’t keep on with the call, someone would come to my place. Proper creepy.6 yearsI got a call from a man with a foreign accent who started getting really pushy, saying I'd be arrested for tax evasion if I didn’t pay £1947 during the call. He kept throwing around case numbers and some arrest warrant number. He was so insistent and rude. Honestly, someone who’s more vulnerable would find it really frightening.6 yearshey, i just got a call moments ago from some guy saying if i don't cough up £1300 straight away, the cops will be knocking on my door soon. he was demanding payment right then and there on the phone. i told him no and said he can send the police if he wants. honestly, it was such a terrifying and awful call. i’m still pretty shaken up. can anyone do something about these scams? it’s really not on.6 yearsJust gone through the exact same thing. They come across as really persuasive and honestly, quite risky. I think the Court of Appeal’s Civil Division needs to look into this and maybe put out a caution for everyone.Court of Appeal6 yearsThis bloke called saying he was from HMRC, claimed I owed money and if I didn’t pay up I’d end up in prison for five years, plus a fine of 79 grand. He also warned me not to tell anyone else about it and said the officers were already on their way to bust me. Totally dodgy.HMRC6 yearsGot a call from this Indian bloke saying HMRC’s taken me to court and I need to ring them back. Last month, the same robotic male voice was telling me there’s a warrant for my arrest from HMRC. Total scam, don’t fall for it!HMRC6 yearscivil division of the court of appealCourt of Appeal7 yearsThis was obviously a phishing attempt. They said they were calling from a court about a tax fraud case supposedly sent over by HMRC. The number looked like it was from the court of appeal, but it was actually fake.
