Got a call from this number earlier today, and when I answered, some Asian guy just said hello and then dropped the call straight away. Looks like another scam from a London area code. I've saved the number and blocked it now.

I rang 02086385758 back and mentioned that the call seemed a bit dodgy, and the bloke just told me to "f##k off" before hanging up! Now I'm feeling a bit anxious, thinking I might be in some kind of trouble or even get arrested. Not sure what to do next.

Got a voicemail on my phone saying I'd be arrested in half an hour, obviously a load of rubbish. I had a bit of fun pretending to be scared though. Complete mugs. If you see a call from 02086385758, just ignore it!

So, I just got a call saying that if I don’t pay my tax in the next couple hours, I’m getting arrested. Yeah, right, like that’s gonna happen! Catch you later, mate, next Tuesday or whenever!

This number has been ringing me constantly throughout the week, claiming to be from HMRC - obviously a scam. You’d think the real HMRC would be able to stop these calls by now.

Some bloke called Max Matthews ringing me up, saying I’m headed to jail and I need a lawyer for tax dodging or something. I pay my taxes, don’t I? What a load of rubbish!

Got a voicemail and call out of the blue saying I’m dodging taxes, apparently they sent me a couple of letters which I never got or replied to, and now they’re saying there’s an arrest warrant out for me. Proper scary stuff!

Some bloke called saying he was Mark Watson, claimed I owed £4950 and if I handed over £1800 right now I wouldn’t get arrested. Otherwise, I'd have to deal with it in court. I told him I’d ring the police and give them the arrest warrant number, but he just told me to go straight to the station and they’d nab me there, then just hung up on me!

This number is a total scam, folks. Loads of people have said it’s about taxes, and the person on the other end was really pushy and rude. I wouldn’t pick up if I were you.

Looks like a total scam to me. What really creeped me out was they somehow knew my exact address. When I tried asking them more questions, they just suddenly cut the call. Really should report these people, but I have no clue where to start.

I got a call from a bloke named Mark Watson saying I supposedly owed four grand in taxes. He was pretty vague about what tax it was and kept trying to get me to give out my personal info. Seemed fishy to me.

Got a call from some loud South Asian blokes. When I asked who the hell they were, one of them just went off and called me a "bloody piece of crap". Proper rude.

So this guy named Deepak ringed me and left a voicemail apologising for missing my call, asking me to ring him back. Being daft, I actually did. Then out of nowhere he tells me I’m gonna be nicked in the next 45 minutes and asks if I’ve got a criminal solicitor to defend me. I reckon he planned to push some pricey legal service on me, but when I called his bluff, he just hung up. Total con, but weirdly I still find myself glancing over my shoulder, half expecting the police to show up and arrest me lol.

Totally a scam. Someone claiming to be James Anderson called me, but I think it could be that Max Matthews bloke someone else was talking about. They said I had to pay immediately or I'd end up in jail. They even said the cops were on their way. Complete rubbish.

I got this voicemail telling me I've been dodging taxes and there's a warrant out for my arrest, which is pretty hilarious considering I just received a tax refund this year.

Got a call from "hmrc" with an automated voice, told me they sent some documents to my house which came back unsigned. Then warned me I'd be arrested for dodging tax. Total scam.

Like a few others here, I got a call from an Indian man claiming to be from the tax office, saying there was a warrant out for my arrest due to tax evasion and they’d be coming for me within 45 minutes. He even knew my name! When I played along and told him I’d defend myself in court, he suddenly cut the call. He also mentioned an address where the hearing was supposedly going to take place the next day. Proper scam!

I rang this number back to find out how long they’ve been pulling this tax scam, and they actually admitted it’s been going on for about a year now. They also said it’s been working well for them. Honestly, don’t share any of your details or even your phone number with them!
