Phone number ☎️ 02896002747 👆 is reported as a common scam involving automated calls falsely claiming to be from HMRC about tax evasion or court action. The scammers use prerecorded messages threatening arrest warrants and urging recipients to call back specific numbers.

6 yearsWoke up to an automated call saying I was involved in some tax fraud and threatened with court if I didn’t ring back. Not the best way to start the day! I didn’t bother returning the call but looked the number up online, and turns out it’s a scam. At least they didn’t say my name, which was a bit of a relief.6 yearsI had a similar experience. The caller claimed to be from HMRC, and my phone flagged it as a possible scam. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!HMRC6 yearsI received a message claiming to be from HMRC, insisting that I contact a 'Linda Wright' immediately, or else they would issue an arrest warrant against me. My phone identified the call as likely fraudulent. When I attempted to return the call, an American-sounding automated voice informed me, "This number is not currently active for receiving calls." It was the same number they had instructed me to call back.HMRCLinda Wright6 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HMRC, but I reckon it’s just a scammer trying to pull a fast one. I've gone ahead and blocked the number!HMRC6 yearsGot a robot voicemail from 0289 600 2747 just yesterday. It said I had to call Linda Wright at HMRC or I’d face an arrest warrant. My phone flagged the number as maybe a scam. So, I tried calling back, but an American-sounding robot told me the number isn’t accepting calls right now. Really strange, what’s going on?Linda WrightHMRC6 yearsJust yesterday, I got a robo call from a woman claiming that someone had filed a complaint against me about dodging taxes and that the HRC would be taking me to court. She clearly said my full name. I didn’t bother calling back but did report it to the HMRC. I knew right away it was a scam because they messed up and said HRC instead of HMRC in the message. Total giveaway!HMRCHRC6 yearsi got a call from a number that looked like it was from belfast. when i picked up, a recorded female voice said she was from hmrc and accused me of tax evasion. she told me to ring back straight away to sort it out. i didn’t bother calling back and blocked the number. they left a message on my answerphone, which sounded quite pushy and kept telling me not to ignore it and to call them back. honestly, if hmrc needed to get in touch, they wouldn’t use calls like this. don't fall for it!BelfastHMRC6 yearsBeware of scammers pretending to be from HMRC! They’re talking about tax evasion or fraud - definitely going to report this to the HMRC phishing department asap.HMRC6 yearsI reckon this is a total hmre scam, gotta watch out for these crafty tricks!6 yearsGot a call from someone trying to scam me. Complete waste of time.6 yearsI received a recorded message that claimed to be from HMRC regarding tax evasion. It struck me as rather dodgy!HMRC6 yearsGot a call saying I needed to ring back straight away because apparently, I was about to be taken to court.6 yearsCan someone please confirm for me that this is definitely a scam? I got a call this morning and, foolishly, I rang the number back. The person on the line said he was ‘agent William Evans’ and it all sounded pretty official. They never actually told me what I was meant to have done but they kept warning me about going to prison and advised me to get a lawyer. Then they said someone would be in touch within the hour to sort out a payment plan, but nobody called me back. I’m probably being gullible but I really need to know if this is a scam or not.William Evans6 yearsGot a call from this number, they left me a voicemail pretending to be from HMRC saying I had an arrest warrant. They wanted me to ring them back but it felt off. I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam.HMRC6 yearsgot a call from someone claiming to be linda white from hmre, kept insisting i ring back, no thanks!HMRELinda White6 yearsMy 16 year old lad got a call from that number supposedly from HMRC, telling him to ring them back. He was proper freaked out by it all.HMRC6 yearsTotal scam, watch out!6 yearsThey ring but hang up before I even pick up. I ain’t returning any overseas calls. Didn’t even bother leaving a message.6 yearsLooks like this contraption thinks I'm off to the slammer!6 yearsCount me in as well!6 yearsCount me in as well!6 yearsI've just received a rather alarming voicemail, claiming that if I don't return the call, a warrant for my arrest will be put in place! Can you believe it? 🤯🙃6 yearsI must confess, I’ve found myself on the darker side of the law!6 yearsI had a call come through but nobody picked up when I tried to return it.6 yearsAbsolutely agree. Clearly a scam and dodgy business. I gave them a ring back (masked my number using 141) just to see what would happen (and for a bit of a laugh :)). Ended up with the same automated message on voicemail. Not quite the amusement I’d hoped for, so I ended the call.6 yearsCount me in as well! This appears to be the newest trick in their playbook!6 yearsI've just received a rather alarming message myself. It was a recorded voice informing me that failure to return the call will result in the issuance of an arrest warrant. Quite concerning, wouldn’t you agree?Submit Your Own Report (028 9600 2747)
