7 yearsJust like loads of others here, I got a call warning me I'd be arrested over some unpaid tax. Honestly, that’s not how it normally works at all. If you do owe HMRC anything, they usually get in touch first to find out what’s going on and offer you a chance to sort it out, speaking with your accountant if needed. The whole thing takes ages, with plenty of letters and back-and-forth, way before any talk of arrest comes up - that stuff happens way, way later down the line.HMRC7 yearsGot a voicemail from a lady with an American accent saying I’m about to be charged with tax evasion. It’s just pathetic how these scammers operate. Honestly, it’s high time governments everywhere crack down on these modern-day highway robbers and protect us from their nonsense.7 yearsThis is just a complete rip off. They try that classic “you have an arrest warrant” trick. If you follow their instructions, they push you to call some premium line, and you end up getting charged a fortune. Honestly, these scammers have zero ethics and don’t care who they fool.7 yearsIf you happen to have knowledge about any tax avoidance activities, do reach out to your local HMRC representative, particularly if she's got an American twang.HMRC7 yearsGot a call at 9.03 and another one at 9.40, but I ignored both. Seriously, why don't they get arrested for this kind of nonsense?7 yearsGot a call around 9:49 this morning and they left a voicemail saying there’s been an arrest warrant for me due to tax evasion. They told me to ring back on 02081334039. Sounds dodgy if you ask me.7 yearsThis is the fourth time I've gotten a message saying I'm about to be arrested!7 yearsdont pick up that number EVER its a total scam my phone wont stop ringing from them if i didnt ignore them id probably be in trouble already seriously those calls are bad news i wish there was a way to block it for good 22222,7 yearsI received a call from someone claiming there was an arrest warrant out for me. As soon as I heard that, I promptly ended the conversation. The voice on the other end sounded distinctly American.7 yearsGot a voicemail from this number saying to get in touch with a case officer. I've had quite a few calls like this in the past, so I'm pretty certain it's a scam. The accent didn’t sound British, maybe something American, not really sure.7 yearsThere was this automated call claiming to be from a magistrate, I just hung up straight away. After seeing what others went through, I’m really glad I didn’t engage.7 yearsAbout an hour after I logged into the HMRC site and entered some personal details, I got a call from 02088553221. The caller claimed it was HMRC and said there was an arrest warrant out for me, telling me to press 1 or call back on the same number to speak to my "case officer." I quickly figured it was a scam and hung up without pressing anything. What worries me is how they knew I'd just logged into HMRC - my laptop's got updated antivirus and malware protection. HMRC really should look into this because I'm concerned someone might be leaking customer info to scammers.HMRC7 yearsReceived a robotic call in a rather shrill American twang, claiming to be from HMRC. They went on about an alleged arrest warrant due to some supposed tax evasion and instructed me to hit 1 to chat with my probation officer! What a laugh! 😂 I promptly disconnected.HMRC7 yearsGot a phone call from someone claiming to be HMRC saying I had an arrest warrant over tax evasion. Total scam, just hang up and don’t bother.HMRC7 yearsgot a robocall with some weird american or asian-sounding digital voice saying it was from hmrc/customs or something. the call cut off pretty quick after that. sure, you can block numbers no prob, but that doesn’t really solve anything because the phone companies still make bank off these scams. the real issue is they refuse to properly go after these scammers, even though they could easily find them. at the end of the day, it’s all just about the money, as usual!Revenue7 yearsGot a phonecall supposedly from "HMRC" telling me they've got a warrant out for me over tax dodging! Absolute rubbish, I’m fed up with these daily calls. Surely someone needs to crack down on these criminals and hold them accountable. I'd love to know where they are so I could turn up with my accountant and my mate "the baseball bat" for a little chat.HMRC.Baseball Bat7 yearsJust got a call from someone with a strange accent pretending to be from HMRC about tax evasion. Total scam alert. Don’t listen to anything they say, it’s all fake!HMRC7 yearsMy elderly folks got a call from this same number, and it really distressed them. They ended up with a message on their answerphone which only made things worse. Wish there was a way to block or stop these calls for good.7 yearsGot a voicemail in some american twang claiming to be from the H.M. tax office. Looks like another dodgy scam to me!HM Revenue & CustomsSubmit Your Own Report (020 8855 3221)
