Got a call from someone saying I owed HMRC £2,900. They sounded really intimidating and it seemed pretty legit at first.

I received a rather intimidating phone call regarding HM Revenue, with a legal threat recorded on my answering machine. It truly unsettled me, though I can easily imagine how others might fall for such a trick.

Got another voicemail from someone claiming to be from HMRC about a serious lawsuit against me, saying I had to ring them straight away. Before the recorded voice kicked in, I heard people chatting in the background and then a click. Honestly, steer clear of these calls, it’s an obvious scam. The people behind them are really the lowest of the low.

Got a voicemail left for an older lady I know, and it was really intimidating. The caller said she owed tax to HMRC and threatened arrest. They also mentioned something about dropping yellow and red cards through the door because they couldn’t get hold of her. She was really upset telling me about it. I’m definitely going to report this to Action Fraud UK.

Got a voicemail from 02821788269 which sounded really scary, saying this lady owed HMRC taxes and could get arrested. They mentioned something about yellow and red cards being pushed through the door because they couldn’t reach her. The poor old lady was really upset when she told me about it. Definitely gonna report this to Action Fraud UK.

Got a call from 2821788269 at 10.33am on 27/2/18, and all I got was a recorded message. Definitely sounded automated.

Got a ring from 02821788269 just after eleven this morning, and instantly thought it smelt like a scam. Feels like the sort of thing that could easily catch someone who isn’t too tech-savvy off guard.

My elderly mate got a call from this number, and they were threatening him over some "unpaid tax bill" for £3000. He jotted the number down, so I gave them a ring. The person who answered was muttering something I couldn't make out, and when I asked what company they were from, they just ended the call. Looks like a proper dodgy scam.

This number rang me earlier but I didn't pick up. The tone sounded quite intimidating, so I figured it was probably a scam. If it was legit, like from a government agency, they’d have said who they were, which they didn’t. Plus, HMRC usually sends letters rather than calling. The prefix suggests it’s from Martinstown in Northern Ireland, not the usual HMRC number 0300 200 0300 if you want to verify.

Total con artist, definitely a scam.

Got a call claiming to be from HMRC, saying I’m about to be sued unless I pay up straight away. I didn’t fall for it, obviously - feels like a total scam. But honestly, what if someone more vulnerable answered? On the gov site, HMRC warns about these fake calls targeting older or more easily confused folks, where scammers pretend there's court action on the way. They ask for details like the time and number to be sent to their email so they can investigate. I emailed them the info just in case. Hopefully, if enough us report these, they’ll finally crack down on it - fingers crossed!

Today I got a call from 02821788269 saying there was a court order against me and I had to ring a number straight away because it was urgent. It really freaked me out and made me feel awful. Luckily, my sister was visiting and she told me it sounded like a scam and advised me to look it up online. Turns out, IT'S DEFINITELY A SCAM! Feeling really shaken up.

I got a call from this number claiming I owed back taxes or something, but I’m 94 years old! Total scam if you ask me.

This number just rang me too, said something about HMRC like the post above. Proper threatening and makes you feel uneasy. Anyone know how to block or stop these calls?

I got a voicemail from someone pretending to be HMRC, saying I had to call them urgently because there was a serious legal matter going on with me. It sounded dodgy right from the start. They even finished off by wishing me a blessed day, which just made it all seem even more fishy. Definitely a scam.

This lot are clearly scammers. My dad passed away back in November last year, and somehow they’ve got hold of that info. It’s disgusting how they prey on people who are already hurting. Truly nasty and awful behaviour.

I had a look on the HMRC site and they’ve confirmed there’s a scam going around where people get calls pretending to be from HMRC. The site mentions that if you can send them information like when you got the call, the time, and the number they used, it would really help with their investigation. You can email those details to [email protected].

I got a voicemail on my answering machine from this number 02821788269, saying there’s some huge legal trouble with HMRC. They asked me to call them back, but there’s no way I’m ringing that number. Oddly enough, they ended it by telling me to have a nice day. Definitely a scam.

Got a recorded call that never said who they were after but claimed I was involved in some serious legal trouble. They finished off by oddly saying have a ‘blessed day’ again. Quite strange!

I had a call with the same message recently, it came from Northern Ireland. It was an automated voice claiming to be from HMRC saying there’s a big legal issue I need to deal with. No way am I ringing them back!

I got a voicemail that sounded like it was from HMRC but with one of those robotic voices. It said there was some sort of "serious legal case" against me and to ring them back to sort it out. Weirdly, they ended the message by saying "hope you have a blessed day!" quite odd for something serious like that!
