Looks like this number has been recycled and now belongs to the ARK Foundation Trust, which is a genuine charity organisation.

Received a call from this number on the 25th of September, 2018, at precisely 12:34 in the afternoon. I noticed it had left a message on my voicemail. It was evidently a pre-recorded, automated message. It allegedly came from the UK police on behalf of HMRC, claiming there was an ongoing court case and that an arrest was imminent. I found it rather distressing, but thankfully I had the presence of mind to look up the number online instead of returning the call. This is undoubtedly a scam.

I received a rather distressing phone call, claiming to be from the UK police representing HMRC. They insisted that there was a court case underway regarding some alleged tax discrepancies and that my arrest was on the cards. It was quite a shocking and fraudulent call, and frankly, it felt rather menacing coming from them. I do wish the police would take such threats more seriously.

Got a call from 01273818491 telling me to ring them back or I’d be in trouble with HMRC court stuff. Definitely a scam, stay clear!

This morning my mum, who’s 90, got a phone call from this number saying she’s got a court case about to start against her. I rang the number back and surprisingly spoke to someone claiming to be an officer named Eric Watson. When I asked which organisation he was with, he said the London Taxation Office! I told him to send me something in writing and then hung up straight away!

Received a call claiming to be from HMRC saying there’s a warrant out for my arrest. I rang the police to check and they told me their hands were tied with loads of jobs but would get to me when they could. Honestly, these calls would scare the elderly stiff, so if you’ve got older or vulnerable family, get them a BT 8500 phone or something similar. Let unknown numbers go straight to voicemail, then you can pop round and deal with it yourself. Sometimes I wish there was a way to send a shock back to those scammers to knock their gear out.

They really need to do something about these calls, the police should step in and sort it out already.

I just got a call from a robotic bloke speaking clear English, sounding very aggressive - he said, "HMRC have issued a warrant for your arrest." Then ordered me to ring HMRC immediately on the number he gave. Being a pensioner, I highly doubt HMRC are bothered with me at all! Thankfully, my BT8500 call blocker caught it and this number's now added to my increasing blacklist. Honestly, that was one of the most unsettling calls I've had in ages.

My wife got really stressed out after getting a call from some robotic voice threatening to arrest us. It’s disgusting how many scam calls there are just wasting our time and trying to trick people who don’t deserve it. When will the officials actually do something about these fraudsters?

Just got a call claiming to be HMRC asking for money, but this is totally a scam. HMRC would never demand payment like this over the phone or threaten arrest. They can take legal action, but that would involve official letters and court stuff, not random calls! Best to just block and forget about it.

I just got a voicemail saying I'm involved in some court action and that I shouldn’t ignore the call! They didn’t leave any company or person's name, so no idea who it’s from. Really hope an older person doesn't get a message like that, it’d really freak them out.

Got a voicemail saying there's a warrant for my arrest and to call a certain number to sort it out. Honestly, it was pretty scary getting that call without any warning! I didn’t ring the number they gave. Instead, I contacted the police using the 101 number, and they said only they can issue warrants like that, confirming it was definitely a scam.

I got a voicemail saying there was a warrant for my arrest and to call back right away. So I contacted the police and they told me to report the number on the fraud hotline because it’s risky.

Absolutely a con, and just so you know, there’s no London number starting with 0208 133. Plus, if you try ringing back, it’s always busy. What annoys me most is that these idiots keep switching numbers - I’ve come across at least 25 different ones this past week alone. My BT call guardian has blocked these numbers, including this one, but still, the calls won’t stop. Honestly, I’d be happier if they all disappeared or went causing chaos on the M25 instead!

I received a call from someone purporting to be from the UK Police, allegedly acting on behalf of HMRC, saying there was a warrant issued in my name. They even mentioned a number for this supposed warrant. I was urged to ring an 0208 number (which I regrettably couldn't jot down, so it might have been the caller’s actual number) to resolve matters with HMRC. Thankfully, I’m aware that the UK Police isn’t a single entity; all policing is done at the local level. It’s quite concerning because an elderly or vulnerable individual could have found such a call quite distressing. I traced the number back through 1471.

Totally ridiculous. Like some robotic voice threatening arrest, just like a Dalek or something. They didn’t even try to find out who they were talking to before shouting orders down the line!

The voice reminded me of a Dalek, it was a pretty bad try really. I reckon some people, maybe older folks or just the easily fooled, might actually pick up. Best thing to do is let it go to voicemail! It's like having a peephole on your front door - don’t open it if you don’t know who it is!
