02086387879 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02086387879 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call originating from individuals falsely claiming to be HMRC officers, often using the name Jennifer Brown and threatening legal action or arrest over supposed tax debts. The callers employ automated voices and aggressive tactics to intimidate recipients into divulging personal details or purchasing gift cards as payment. Many victims recognise the deception due to the use of the outdated 'Inland Revenue' name and a lack of official correspondence. Authorities advise against engaging or returning calls, as these are attempts at fraud. Recipients are encouraged to block the number and report incidents to official channels such as phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk or www.actionfraud.police.uk. The calls frequently cause distress, especially among the vulnerable, but no genuine legal action is associated with these messages.

7 yearsI got a phone call today saying I'd be sent a cheque for £3000, but only if I give a "Google Play Card" worth £150 to a solicitor who’s meant to arrive at my house within a couple of hours. It’s totally a con. After they get the card details, they’ll ring back to check the code and steal the money from it. No solicitor will ever show up because they already have everything they need. Never buy any cards for these people or tell them the card info. Stay alert!8 yearsIf Mrs Jennifer Brown doesn't watch herself, she might just be spending the holidays behind bars.Jennifer Brown8 yearsAt about 11:22 in the morning on the 21st of December 2018, I got a call from the number 02086387879 which claimed to be the Inland Revenue and a ‘Jennifer Brown’ supposedly left a voicemail. The message warned if I didn’t ring back or hear from my solicitor, there’d be some legal troubles waiting. Definitely felt like a scam to me.Jennifer BrownHM Revenue and Customs8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying I owed loads of money to the tax office. Took me a few minutes but then I caught on it was a scam. I only gave him my name and nothing else since he kept pushing me for more details. Eventually, I told him I’d ring HMRC directly. He claimed he was from there and wanted to speak to my lawyer or something. I've since reported the whole thing to HMRC.HMRC8 yearsGot a call from someone called Jennifer Brown, she said she was from Inland Revenue.Jennifer BrownInland Revenue8 yearsThis was totally a dodgy call, just blocked the number right away!8 yearsGot a couple of missed calls and voicemail messages claiming I owed money to HMRC. They warned me about legal trouble and said bailiffs had been sent round already. Luckily, I wasn't about to panic and took a moment to look into it, even though I knew I didn’t have any debts with them.HMRC8 yearsI got a call from a robotic voice claiming to be Jennifer Brown from HM Revenue and Customs, telling me I had to call back or face legal trouble. When I dialled the number, a man named Eric Matthews answered and said I owed more than £4000 to HMRC, and there was a warrant for my arrest by 4 pm. He insisted I needed to pay, but when I said I couldn’t, he asked if I had a lawyer and said I’d need one, adding I could apply for bail despite the arrest. I ended the call before it went further and later checked with HMRC who confirmed it was a scam. It was honestly quite scary for a moment.Jennifer BrownInland RevenueEric MatthewsHMRC8 yearsThis is just some annoying spam call.8 yearsGot a call today claiming my husband owes money from 2012. They even said they had a photo of our home. Worried now because my husband ended up giving them our address. Feeling a bit uneasy about the whole thing.8 yearsGot a call earlier and they mentioned an outdated post. It quickly hit me that it was a scam. The bloke claimed to be a lawyer and wanted me to verify my address.8 yearsSo I just tried this out and honestly it made me chuckle. They claimed I owed more than £4000 for some texts from like 2012 and 2017. I told the bloke he was definitely not who he claimed to be. Then I said I’d ring the police on him, and he just shrugged and told me to go ahead and do it. Absolutely bonkers!8 yearsSo apparently Officer Jennifer Brown from the tax office has been calling me 😂 Really looking forward to the "penalties" they say I'll face if I don't ring them back. What a joke!Jennifer Brown8 yearsI got a call from an automated voice warning me about some kind of penalties, which honestly would freak out anyone who might actually owe the tax office. I guess some people might easily be tricked by it. Just watch out though, no telling how much these calls could be charging you a minute, or even worse, they might try to scam your bank info from you.8 yearsComplete waste of time, honestly.8 yearsI got a message from someone called Jennifer Brown warning me there'd be trouble if I didn't ring her back.Jennifer Brown8 yearsGot a call on my phone about half an hour ago from someone claiming to be from the Inland Revenue. Big red flag there. That name hasn’t been in use for yonks, it’s HMRC now - Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. So if anyone says they're from the Inland Revenue, they’re almost certainly trying to scam you.Inland RevenueHER MAJESTY ’ S REVENUE AND CUSTOMSHMRC8 yearsMy other half was left crying after these lowlifes called her. I really don’t get how this number’s still active when everyone knows it’s a dodgy scam. Seriously, telecom firms, you’ve got all the tools to shut this down - why isn’t it happening?8 yearsGot a call earlier at 4pm from someone named Jennifer Brown who left a message on my voicemail. When I rang back using 55 from my phone, some guy with an American accent picked up and started asking for my personal info. He even gave me a reference number and told me to mention it if the police get in touch. What a load of rubbish!Jennifer Brown8 yearsGot a call from some robot voice telling me I had to ring up Dennis Grey at HMRC or else I’d be in trouble. Pretty sure it’s a scam.HMRCDennis Grey8 yearsI got a voicemail from 020 8638 7879, and it was all about some kind of threat if I didn't ring them back. I just ignored it and didn’t bother calling or picking up.8 yearsThis number called me but I missed it. After checking I found out it’s just a scam, so I’m going to block it now. Cheers for the info!8 yearsGot a suspicious call from Jennifer Brown on my mobile. Definitely a scam, so I’m blocking that number straight away.Jennifer Brown8 yearsLike I mentioned earlier, these idiots just won't stop.8 yearsToday I got calls on both my landline and mobile - seems like a total scam to me! How do they even have my details? So annoying!8 yearsThey actually threatened to take me to court! Unreal.8 yearsBloody scam! Got calls on both my mobile and landline today. Seriously, where do they even find our numbers?8 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent demanding £4785 urgently, saying my dad needed to send the money and they'd give the bank details once he was actually at the bank. My dad checked with his accountant, who said he’s heard about similar scams popping up lately. Just a heads up, folks - official government letters come through the post to your home and they don't usually sound so pushy or aggressive. Be careful out there!8 yearsGot a voicemail with threats, but just found out it’s a scam, so I’ll steer clear of it from now on, cheers.8 yearsI've gotten calls from this number a bunch of times, but every time I pick up, they just drop the call straight away. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of scam, so I'm gonna block it now. Cheers for the info!8 yearsToday my partner saw she’d missed a call from this number and found a voicemail left by someone named Jennifer Brown claiming to be from the Inland Revenue. The message said to call her back straight away and warned against ignoring it or else legal steps would follow. When she told me about it, I thought it sounded fishy since we’d never got anything in the post from the Inland Revenue about owing money. I decided to Google the number and discovered loads of others had been targeted with similar calls. It’s really upsetting to see these dodgy tricks going on, and something really should be done about it. Cheers, Derek.Jennifer BrownInland RevenueGoogleDerek8 yearsI tried ringing them back, fully aware it was some kind of scam, just wanting to annoy whoever answered with a loud whistle. Too bad, no one picked up!8 yearsGot another bogus text today, all about some supposed legal trouble. Total scam.8 yearsGot a call from the Inland Revenue, some American woman on the line threatening me. Just ignore and block them straight away. No need to ring back to see if it's legit.Inland Revenue8 yearsGot a weird automated call with some American woman saying she was Jennifer Brown from Inland Revenue, threatening legal action. Definitely a scam. Every time HMRC has contacted us, it’s always been through letters first, followed by scheduled phone calls. So dodgy!Jennifer BrownRevenue ServiceHMRC8 yearsGot a call claiming to be HMRC, said I needed to ring them straight away or I'd face legal trouble. Proper scam, obviously. Didn’t fall for it.HMRC Scam!8 yearsGot a voicemail from this dodgy number too, with some threatening message on it. The number looked pretty ordinary so if I saw a missed call from it, I probably would've rang back without thinking. I wasn't really bothered but can see how others might get upset. I've blocked the number now.8 yearsI got a voicemail from some automated system saying if I didn’t ring them back, they’d take legal steps against me. Bit worrying!8 yearsI keep getting calls from this same number, and it’s always some threatening automated voice. Best thing is just to block it straight away.8 yearsAbout 20 minutes back, I got a call from some automated American woman claiming she was calling from the Inland Revenue. She said it was important and I shouldn’t ignore it. Well, I just went ahead and blocked the number straight away.Revenue and Customs8 yearsI just had a call from an automated woman named Jennifer, then some guy with an Indian accent came on saying I was being audited and that I owe money. He rattled off loads of info and warned me the police had already been notified and would be in touch soon.Jennifer8 yearsScam alert: I phoned back a number and some foreign-sounding voice answered, saying they were from HMRC. Also got a voicemail from a “Jennifer Brown” who said she was from the Inland Revenue. The message was in an American accent that sounded robotic, warning me I had to call back on 0208 immediately or I’d face legal trouble. Pretty dodgy if you ask me!HM Revenue and CustomsJennifer Brown8 yearsI blocked this number straight away. HMRC wouldn’t get in touch like that to demand anything from you. The message was really rude and completely wrong. I’ve also reported it to HMRC.HMRC8 yearsGot a dodgy phone call, definitely a scam. Best thing to do is just block the number right away!8 yearsGot four calls in a row from someone pretending to be HMRC. Didn’t fall for it and just blocked the number.HMRC8 yearsBeware, this is definitely a scam. Some bloke from India rings you up shouting about debts you supposedly owe, trying to stress you out.
