02081238826 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02081238826 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving automated calls falsely claiming to be from HMRC, threatening recipients with legal action over alleged tax fraud. The calls often originate from withheld or spoofed numbers and deliver intimidating messages urging immediate callback to UK numbers, which are premium rate or lead to further fraud attempts. Many find these calls distressing, especially vulnerable individuals such as the elderly or those with health conditions. Official HMRC never uses such call methods for investigations, and victims are strongly advised not to engage, call back, or provide personal details. Repeated blocking has limited effect as scammers frequently change numbers. Reporting to authorities like Action Fraud is recommended for those receiving these threatening messages.

7 yearsSome bloke rang up saying he could sort out my computer problems, then tried to get remote access. Luckily, seemed dodgy as anything - total con!8 yearsGot a call from this number as well, definitely a scam. I don’t owe any tax to anyone, just ignore them.8 yearsI woke up to a recorded message saying “Ring 02081337293 for customs, prepare for legal action, goodbye and stay safe.” It really threw me off at first. Before dialling back, I searched online and was really relieved to find other people had the same creepy call and it wasn’t just me!8 yearsGot a text from this number saying I was under investigation for tax fraud. Sounds dodgy to me!8 yearsLike a few others, I got a threatening voicemail. I’d guess if you ring that number, it’ll probably be a costly premium line.8 yearsI got called by the same number, really odd experience. Tried ringing them back but it just cut off straight away.8 yearsI’m struggling with several health problems, including heart issues, COPD, and PTSD, and I’m still dealing with the loss of my dad. Today I got a voicemail saying I had to call back urgently about alleged tax fraud. It’s really thrown me off and made me feel awful. My breathing’s all messed up and my anxiety’s shot way up - feels like I might have another heart attack any moment. Honestly, I’m finding it hard to even type this out. I’m constantly on edge and barely leave home unless it’s for hospital visits. Though I’m glad this site exists, nothing seems to calm my racing heart or sickness. If this is some kind of scam, it’s truly heartless and just adds to the trauma I’m already living with.PSD8 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be HMRC, saying I had to get in touch with them or else there'd be serious trouble. The number they used was 02086388432. Quite worrying really!HMRC8 yearsJust received a call like that too. The whole threatening with "you'll face the consequences" thing would be quite laughable if these people weren’t so nasty and horrible.8 yearsYou should report this to the police at http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ before anything worse happens.8 yearsHey, I got the exact same message today and it seriously rattled me. It's really scary stuff. Does anyone know who we should get in touch with about this? It's just awful that this is happening to so many folks right before Christmas. Really not on.8 yearsGot a repeat robocall claiming to be from HMRC, saying I’m being looked into for tax problems and I need to ring back urgently on 02081238826. When I checked the number with 1471, it just showed as private. Pretty obvious this is a scam, so watch out. I’m just sharing here because they must be blasting out loads of these calls, probably some automated system just cycling through numbers nonstop.HMRC8 yearsI’m disabled and deal with a bunch of health problems, including my heart, COPD, and PTSD. On top of that, I’m still coping with losing my dad. So when I got a voicemail telling me to call back straight away about some tax fraud, it really shook me up. It’s honestly made me feel really unwell. I’ve got trouble breathing and my anxiety’s sky high, like I’m on the edge of a heart attack. It’s hard for me to even write this now. I’m a total mess and don’t go out unless it’s for hospital visits. Although I found this website quite useful, I just can’t calm my heart rate down. I feel so ill right now. If it’s a scam, it’s one of the cruellest, most upsetting ones I’ve ever come across.PSD8 yearsI got a call from this number too, and it was the same problem. Quite worrying, especially for folks who might not be too careful.8 yearsGot a recorded threat from someone claiming to be HMRC. Definitely a scam - just ignore and don’t return the call!HMRC8 yearsOver the past fortnight, I got a couple of voicemails from this number 0208 1238826, sayin I’m under some tax fraud investigation and I need to ring them back immediately. Bit suspicious if you ask me!8 yearsGot a voicemail from this number 02086388432 with some automated message about being an "HMRC Officer". They said they’re expecting a call from me or my lawyer and warned about consequences if I didn’t ring them back. Total scam! I’d say just block and report it asap!HMRC Officer8 yearsThese scammy idiots really get on my nerves, makes me wanna track down the joker and sort him out properly my way.8 yearsThose scammers really get on my nerves, makes me want to track down the joker behind this and teach him a lesson in my own way.8 yearsGot a voicemail from this number warning about some tax fraud stuff and asking me to ring back. It had that robotic kind of sound, which freaked me out a bit, definitely not okay. Knowing tax season scams are common I looked it up to see if anyone else had flagged it as dodgy. I’ve reported it to the cops, hope it gets blocked or taken down soon.8 yearsHad a right laugh watching the Pooping On You Tube Prank Show by The R-Files on You Tube. Special Agent Rob Pryshes really knows how to put together some cracking vids. Definately some top notch You Tube channels worth a look!R - FilesRob Pryshes8 yearsCheers to all who confirmed what I suspected. It’s definitely a scam. Just think how scary it must be for older or vulnerable people catching a call like that. Watch out for 020 7094 4984 too - identical scam with a robotic warning. Best to block and delete straight away. Makes me wonder where they got my number from in the first place.8 yearsGot a robocall today and the message was so funny! It went on about "GET READY TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES" like it was some big threat. Definitely made me laugh more than worry!8 yearsGot really freaked out, thought it was some kinda scam.8 yearsGot a call a bit ago from a different number, now this one rings. They were saying something about fraud and pretending to be from HMRC. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.HMRC8 yearsHad a ring from this number, and they dropped the classic line - "prepare for the consequences." Turns out it’s from some Dennis Quaw office or whatnot. Told my lawyer to give ’em a buzz back. So here’s my message to you lot - EEF OFF, you scammin muppets!Dennis Quaw8 yearsScam alert - I rang them back and asked how they manage to sleep at night, then they just cut me off.8 yearsI got a recorded message on my home phone too, claiming I was involved in tax fraud and giving me a case number to ring straight away. Just ignored it and won't be answering again. Delete and block those numbers!8 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they were from the Inland Revenue, threatening legal action. Definitely a scam trying to scare people!HM Revenue and Customs8 yearsJust got a call on my home phone and it totally threw me off. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend ringing this number again.8 yearsTotal scam, just don’t bother with it.8 yearsI just had a call as well, some fake message about HMRC telling me to ring 020 8123 8826. Obviously a scam.HMRC8 yearsI’ve blocked loads of numbers they keep calling from but they just ring me from another one! Now they’ve even started phoning my landline. Proper annoying, hope they get busted soon!!8 yearsGot a recorded call accusing me of tax fraud and saying they're moving against me. I quickly checked the number here and saw loads of others got the same call from it. Seems like they're getting pretty desperate, you'd think after all this time they’d realise people are wise to them already... what a joke!8 yearsI got a call from 02081238826 and it showed up as an international number which had me confused. Then they left a voicemail asking me to call a UK number back. Honestly, whoever this is, it’s pretty dodgy and not on at all :(UK8 yearsI've only had my new number for a day and barely anyone knows it, not even my family. It feels like a massive scam since calling back would probably cost a fortune.8 yearsGot a call from some muppets claiming to be from the Inland Revenue, saying I’d done some dodgy tax stuff and they were going to take me down. Proper laugh out loud moment! They even had this recorded message thing trying to sound all official - as if! What a load of tossers!HMRC8 yearsGot a call from some scammers claiming to be from HMRC, telling me there’s a criminal investigation opened against me. It’s really chilling stuff, especially for older or more vulnerable folks. These con artists are just awful!HMRC8 yearsThey tried that old tax fraud trick again, seems like a classic scam. I reckon it could panic anyone who isn't familiar with these stuff. The number they used wasn’t the usual one, it showed up as 02086388800 instead of 1471.8 yearsTotally a SCAM. Got a recorded message addressing "YOU" like they knew me, but how would they? They obviously have no idea who I am. It's the police who handle criminal probes, not HMRC. And HMRC wouldn't ring you up about an investigation like that anyway. Just for a laugh, I tried ringing back the number, but of course, nobody picked up.FRAUD ALERTHMRC8 yearsReally appreciate this site, it's been a big help. My mum, who’s quite old now, keeps getting these awful scam calls. One of them was especially nasty. All this mess began after some TalkTalk fraudsters managed to hack her. She won’t hear of switching her number, but honestly, I’m thinking it’s probably time I push a bit more to convince her to do it.8 yearsGot a voicemail from this number claiming I was involved in some big fraud and that there was a criminal probe on me. It really shook me up, especially with my heart condition, and I nearly had to rush to hospital because of the stress.8 yearsJust like a bunch of people said, got this recorded call accusing me of some tax fraud stuff. Seems like a common scam going around.8 yearsI got an automated call accusing me of tax evasion in a really nasty and threatening tone. Definitely not ringing them back, and this number’s getting blocked for sure. Total scam.8 yearsGot a call from a number that looked like it was from London, but it showed up as “International” on my phone. When I answered, there was a recorded message saying it was from HMRC about some tax fraud investigation and told me to ring them back. Don’t ring that number, it’s definitely a scam. This has nothing to do with the real HMRC. The number they used was 02081238826.InternationalLondonHMRC8 yearsI got a call from 020 8123 8826 and the message said something about a serious fraud investigation targeting the person living here, who’s an older retired individual. It felt really threatening and quite worrying. Honestly, whoever owns this number should be looked into properly.8 yearsGot a call early this morning that was really off-putting. Definitely not something I'd expect from HMRC. It must be a dodgy scam trying to scare you about some criminal case. No way am I ringing them back!HMRC8 yearsThis scam is really nasty, especially for older folks who could get scared by it. It’s so dangerous and honestly, someone needs to put a stop to it. The number 02081238826 keeps popping up with this kind of stuff.8 yearsLike others have said, I got a call accusing me of tax fraud, which is totally not true.8 yearsGot a robo call saying it was HMRC and they’re taking me tocourt for some tax dodging stuff. Not gonna ring them back but really wanna report this scam.HMRC8 yearsGot a robo call saying it was HMRC and they’re taking me to court over some tax fraud. Not going to ring them back, but thought I’d mention it here.HMRC8 yearsGot a scary voicemail pretending to be from HMRC, but it’s obvious it’s fake. Best just to ignore it and definitely don’t return the call. Could really worry some vulnerable folks out there.HMRC8 years02081238826 called me and it was definitely a scam. Be careful, don’t share any details with them!8 yearsGot a scary voicemail claiming HMRC was about to take me to court over unpaid taxes. They then told me to ring a certain number, but my caller ID just showed as private. This definitely isn’t from HMRC, it’s a total con. Best thing to do? Don’t answer back or engage, just hang up right away.HMRC8 yearsGot a call saying I owed some tax and that they’d take legal steps if I didn’t get back to them. They called me back but only let it ring once before hanging up. That’s when I searched online and found this website.8 yearsGot a message too and it sounded really fishy, like completely fake.8 yearsLike a few others have mentioned, I got this recorded call about some sort of criminal stuff but they never actually said who they were trying to reach.8 yearsIt really seemed like a dodgy call, and after checking this site, I'm pretty sure it was a scam. Definitely not going to reply to their ansafone message, cheers.8 yearsI got a voicemail claiming I'm being prosecuted for tax fraud and told to ring them back immediately. Pretty clear this has to be a scam.8 yearsJust got a phone call a bit ago and luckily i'd heard of this website so thought I’d have a look to figure out what was happening. There’s no way HMRC would ever call to make threats or ask you to call back via an answerphone. It’s proper disgusting!HMRC8 yearsThis number rang my mum who’s quite old, threatening her with some legal stuff about unpaid debts. Luckily, she knew these things wouldn’t be said through a recorded message, but it really shook her up and she had to be calmed down loads. It’s really awful how heartless these callers can be.8 yearsGot a robo call saying there was some tax fraud going on and they needed me to call back straight away. Definitely smells like a dodgy scam to me.8 yearsI got a call at my office from some automated message supposedly from HMRC. It claimed there was some criminal stuff happening with my taxes and told me to ring back straight away. I reckon this is a clear attempt to scam money from people, which, I think, breaks the law under section 10 of the Theft Act. I've reported it to the police just in case.HMRC8 yearsToday, on 6.12.18, I got a call and a recorded voice said HMRC had filed a complaint about me. They told me to ring them back on the number they gave to sort it out. Total SCAM 👎🏻HMRC8 yearsI got a call from this number telling me I had an outstanding debt with the tax office and that I was about to face criminal charges for fraud. They said I needed to ring them straight away.8 yearsIt's a scam, so best to just ignore the call. If you ring them back, you might get hit with some charges for sure. Don't take the risk!8 yearsToday my 89 year old mum got a really scary voicemail from this number and she was absolutely shaken up by it. She’s quite old and if I hadn’t searched the number and stumbled upon your brilliant site, I think it would have really stressed her out. Thanks a lot for the help, she’s feeling a lot calmer now.8 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with HMS Revenue, making all these threatening demands. Total scam, don’t fall for it!HM Revenue8 yearsGot a call where someone said I was behind on my taxes with HMRC and in big trouble. They told me to ring this number right away, but I just ignored it. Funny enough, a couple of my mates got the same kind of call earlier today too.HMRC8 yearsToday, I got a call and they left a voicemail. Thinking it might be connected to a letter I got from HMRC yesterday, I called back and shared some personal details. After feeling a bit suspicious about the whole thing, I looked up the number just to be safe. Fingers crossed nothing bad comes from this.HMRC8 yearsI saw the caller ID from 02081238826 but chose not to pick up, and honestly I’m glad I didn’t. They sound like total scumbags, taking advantage of folks who are just trying to get by. I’m feeling pretty rough myself, and it’s just not fair to hassle me when I’m unwell. Just want them to stop bothering me.8 yearsI got a voicemail on my answerphone saying I was in big trouble over tax fraud. They told me to ring them back straight away or else there’d be more problems.8 yearsIf you get a call from a guy named Mike who sounds Indian, watch out - it’s definitely a scam.Mike8 yearsGot a call saying HMRC was launching a tax probe and I was meant to ring them straight away. Total rubbish! Don’t fall for it, HMRC would never handle this over a phone call. Besides, I’m semi-retired and don’t make enough to owe any tax anyway. Complete scam!HMRC8 yearsGot a voicemail claiming I'd been taken to court by HMRC. Total scam, don’t fall for it!HMRC8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from HMRC, but they were really rude and even started shouting at me. They kept threatening they’d 'find me' or something. Total scam, don’t answer!HMRC8 yearsThis is definitely a scam, don’t even bother answering.8 yearsGot a message that was supposed to be from HMRC, but it was different from the one I got before. The call was automated and part of it got cut off on my answerphone. This honestly doesn’t sound like a proper legal method at all. Plus, my Self-Employed tax return isn't even due until the end of January. Feels like a dodgy scam to me.HMRC8 yearsGot a robo-call claiming to be HMRC about tax dodging. They said to ring a number but don't bother! HMRC never contacts you like that. Complete scam!HMRC8 yearsGot a call from 0208 123 8826 saying I’m being looked at for tax fraud. It showed up as INTERNATIONAL on my phone and it was one of those automated messages. Honestly, if HMRC were really onto someone for something that serious, they’d send letters not just a call like this. Don’t stress if you get this either. My advice? Don’t ring back the number that called you. If you’re worried at all, it’s better to ring your local tax office directly - their contact details should be on the official HMRC site anyway. To me, this is just another scam. - number: 02081238826HMRC8 yearsGot a call on my work phone from some robo voice saying I’m under investigation for tax fraud. Total scam, no doubt. Still, kind of creepy how some folks might actually ring back that number. - caller ID was 020812388268 yearsGot a voicemail from this number saying I needed to ring back right away about some tax fraud stuff. Obviously fake, but it did make me a bit worried for a moment. The number was 02081238826.8 yearstotally dodgy number, definitely a scam. best to block it straight away!8 yearsJust like others have said before, best to just block and get rid of it.8 yearsI'm really struggling right now, dealing with PTSD and mobility problems, and all this has pushed me into a full-blown panic attack. It’s awful, and honestly, the authorities should step in before someone ends up with a heart attack or worse. This whole situation is just vile. I’m so grateful I found this site though, thank you heaps for having it.8 yearsLike others have said, it's a scam where they claim HMRC is about to start legal action against you. Just a heads up, I hung up and then tried 1471 to check the last caller. The line hadn’t actually cut off, and I got a message saying “thank you for calling back” before I hung up again. I didn’t dial 14713 or anything fancy. I’m not sure if I’ve been charged, so just double-check you’ve got a proper dial tone before ringing anyone back. Stay cautious!HMRC8 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone claiming to be HMRC saying they were taking legal action against me. They didn’t mention my name or any details tho. Honestly, HMRC wouldn’t contact you like that if it was serious - the courts wouldn’t even take those calls seriously. Also, keep in mind HMRC doesn’t send emails or texts about tax stuff. Totally a scam!HMRC8 yearsSomeone just left me a message saying they were from HMRC, claiming it was urgent and I needed to ring back right away to stop any more action being taken. The number they gave me was 0208 123 8826. Seemed pretty dodgy to me! - caller: 02081238826HMRC8 yearsGot a call pretending to be HMRC, sounded proper threatening. Tried ringing their scam hotline but the wait was ages, so I never got round to reporting it. Hopefully this heads-up stops someone else getting caught out.HMRC8 yearsWatch out for these dodgy scammers claiming to be from HMRC! They ring you up threatening you'll be arrested right away for fake unpaid taxes unless you pay straight away! If you get a call like this, just hang up immediately and whatever you do, don’t press any buttons during the call. And if they leave a scary voicemail, don’t bother calling back. Relax, there’s no arrest coming, no court stuff, it’s just the usual scare tactics from con artists trying to trick you.HMRC8 yearsBeware of this call - got a recorded message saying HM Revenue & Customs are looking into me for tax dodging. I also got a nearly identical call from a similar number earlier today, which I blocked using BT. Both these numbers come from overseas, even though they tell you to ring 0208 123 2266 or 0208 123 8826. Don’t ring them back, or you’ll get hit with huge fees!HM Revenue & Customs8 yearsGot a call that showed up as INTERNATIONAL on my phone, so there’s no way it was really HMRC here in the UK. They left an automated message claiming I was being investigated for tax fraud and told me to ring back immediately. Complete nonsense! I’m retired and haven’t paid tax in years. These scammers don’t even bother figuring out who they’re phoning. Don’t even think about calling the number they give - it’s likely overseas, could be a premium rate line, and they’ll probably try to get your bank details. Better to just block and ignore, though they’ll no doubt try again with a slightly different number. - caller: HMRC ScamHM Revenue and CustomsHMRC ScamSubmit Your Own Report (020 8123 8826)
